Great American Bash 1997

Due to the demented behavior of Randy Orton, WWE Champion John Cena suffered an arm injury and was forced to vacate the title. All three General Managers decided that at The Great American Bash, there will be a 20-man battle royal for each brand. The winner of each battle royal will move on to SummerSlam and challenge for the vacant WWE Championship in a Triple Threat Match. Since Cena was on the DL, Orton, Shane McMahon, and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper were the three biggest stars on RAW, also since Triple H took time off to pursue other interests with his dad. Although everyone knew that either Orton, McMahon, or Piper would win, rising stars like Ricky Steamboat and Rhyno could get a huge push by being in the RAW battle royal. Or legends like Bret Hart and The Rock could make a huge comeback and win the battle royal and the championship. Or big, monster guys like Big Show and Vladimir Kozlov could make big splashes in their battle royal. Needless to say, the Great American Bash would be truly intense.
