Sunday is WWE's Money in the Bank, which may be on of the hottest Pay-Per-Views in a number of months. Everyone is talking about CM Punk and John Cena, but that isn't the only good match on the card. Let's get right to the card...
- Kelly Kelly vs Brie Bella. For the Divas title.: I'm not really too excited about this match but the Divas need to be represented, so I don't have any problems with this match. It should be pretty short and shouldn't be too bad. I expect Kelly Kelly to win this match and move on to a new feud.
- Big Show vs Mark Henry.: The build up for this match has been pretty good. WWE has done a good job of making Mark Henry seem important again. This match should be what you would expect from two big, powerful guys. It will probably be pretty slow paced and feature a lot of power moves. I don't think that is a bad thing. I feel like we will be impressed a few times in this match by the power on display. I'm not sure who is going to win this match because I feel like this feud is far from over.
- Kane vs Sin Cara vs Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett vs Cody Rhodes vs Heath Slater vs Justin Gabriel vs Sheamus. Money in the Bank match.: This should be a really fun match. Gabriel and Sin Cara should do something really spectacular in this match and the others will bring some solid storytelling. This match has a great mix of styles that should make it really entertaining. I do wish they hadn't broken up the tag team of Gabriel and Slater, because it could have been more interesting to have a tag team working together and against each other at the same time. I'm not really sure who is going to win, but my top picks would be Sheamus or Wade Barrett. Sheamus is a former champion and Barrett is ready for the main event scene again.
- Alberto Del Rio vs The Miz vs Alex Riley vs R-Truth vs Rey Mysterio vs Kofi Kingston vs Evan Bourne vs Jack Swagger. Money in the Bank Match.: This match has more established stars than the Smackdown match and I think the experience will show. This match will probably be the longer of the two and maybe even the better match. I think this is a good match for Riley to be in. It allows for Riley to be in a high profile match, while not being overexposed. Even though Miz and Swagger have Money in the Bank wins under their belts, I fully expect Del Rio to win. The Money in the Bank fits Del Rio perfectly, and gives him a great chance to have the title around his waist.
- Randy Orton vs Christian. For the World title.: This match has a ton of stipulations which could either help or hurt the match. It could hurt because it could limit what they do in the ring. On the other hand, it could be a good thing if Christian really plays it up during the match and starts kind of hanging the stipulations over Orton's head. I'm not sure who is going to win but I am pulling for Christian. I think this feud will continue a while longer and another loss will really make me lose a lot of interest.
- John Cena vs CM Punk. For the WWE title.: This is the match everyone is talking about. Everyone wants to see what happens to CM Punk and if he actually leaves with the WWE title. I bet this match alone has brought in more people than any other match on the card. I really don't know what the CM Punk situation really is, so I don't know how to predict this one. However, being that this feud has only gone on about a month, it would be kind of anti-climactic if Cena wins.
I really can't wait for this show. It should be pretty exciting. Also, next week I will be going to my first WWE live event in over a year. I'll be writing a blog about the show afterward for watch out for that. Until next time...
