Option 3: the traitor is Randy orton.

Randy orton's music hit the arena, and the crowd erupted with raucous boos. Sheamus pointed a finger at orton, and simply said "Him." Orton's face went from smug and deadly, to surprised, then back to smug and deadly as the crowd booed him to scorn. The e-mails and bank footage showed on the screen, and Hunter raised his hands. "Please, beloved, please. As the COO of the WWE, I have to make a descision. Your punishment is this: In the records of the wwe, your cash-in at Summerslam never happened. Daniel Bryan has been Champion since that night. You won the Money in the bank briefcase, but you never cashed it in. Because of this, you get no Champion's rematch, and you are no longer the face of the wwe."

Hunter turned to Daniel Bryan. "Daniel Bryan, as the wwe champion, you may elect to be both the champion and the face of the company, but only if you trim your beard to a more groomed appearance. You do not have to shave it entirely, you just need to look a bit more clean cut. If you should elect not to trim, the job of face of the company will go to someone that will be decided later, but in any case you remain champion. You may go to your trailer and think about your descision, and are excused from appearances until next week."

Hunter turned back to Randy orton. "You will be allowed to leave the arena only after a match against the shield. It is a lumberjack match, with all the superstars around and on the stage as Lumberjacks. Reguardless of the outcome of this match, you will no longer be allowed to compete for the wwe championship in this company again." Hunter and his wife left the ring. They walked up the ramp. Hunter turned to look back at the referee in the ring as Sheamus joined him on the ramp. "Scott, you're fired."
