It’s been a while people and for that I apologise,
but with one of the standout WWE events coming up this Sunday, what better time
to make a return. WWE Money In The Bank comes to us Sunday, one of the most
exciting and unpredictable nights in the WWE calendar is upon us, so allow me
to give you my thoughts and predictions.
Kofi
Kingston & R-Truth vs. Hunico & Camacho
My first reaction was I thought that the Prime
Time Players were the number one contenders for the WWE tag titles, another
thought is why aren’t either Kofi or Truth in the Money In The Bank match.
Looking towards the match, it seems like WWE is maybe swaying ever so slightly
to doing more with the Tag Team division, but nothing too much for us to get
excited about, this may be your standard short match and expect the reigning
champions to win.
Prediction:
Kofi Kingston & R-Truth
World
Heavyweight Championship Contract Money In The Bank Ladder Match
This could be the hardest match to predict on the
card, not because it has the most competitors, but that there are two obvious
winners, which usually means we are in for a surprise. In past experiences,
reigning champions going into one of these matches do not win, but I don’t know
whether to rule out Santino, to me, he is not considered one of WWE’s best
wrestlers, but he is one of their most used talents, mainly for comic relief,
if he was given a serious character then he would be one of the best, he has
been a runner up in a Royal Rumble and was the final person eliminated from the
Elimination Chamber in February, so don’t rule out Santino. Tyson Kidd, I have
been waiting for someone to attack him and take his place, the man is never
seen on mainstream TV, just Superstars and NXT (Though my American friends are
unable to watch NXT) an all of a sudden he is in this match, don’t get me wrong,
Tyson Kidd is an awesome athlete but he is just in this match to fill the role
of Shelton Benjamin and Kofi Kingston in being the high flyer doing the insane
multi person splash. Sin Cara may be the wildcard on this, since coming back
from the injury, he has been on top of his game and finally seems to have
adjusted to WWE life, hardly any botches, if any, and WWE want him to succeed
as he is Triple H’s first signing to the WWE. Tensai to me doesn’t seem to be
in the running for this match, he’s the big powerful man in the match but WWE
seem to have lost interest in him not long after his debut and rather than him
winning this match, they seem to focus on Tensai beating the crap out of
Sakamoto. Damien Sandow may want to enlighten us all, but I’m sure he wants a
world title shot, he may portray the cowardly combatant in this match to avoid
any ladders but there is a real good chance of him winning this match, but if
he is to do it, he will do it with doing very little in this match. Christian,
Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler, on paper, would be the three favourites for this
match, but I’m ruling out Christian straight away with him being the
Intercontinental champion and when you’re left with Ziggler and Rhodes, the
obvious favourite is Ziggler, which means WWE will completely go another way.
Very hard to predict this match but it should be exciting.
Prediction:
Tough one but I say Cody Rhodes
WWE
Championship Contract Money In The Bank Ladder Match
Unlike the World Title ladder match, this one is
very easy to predict, but this could be one of the poorest Money In The Bank
matches ever as there are only 4 combatants, but 3 are very limited on their
moves and abilities. I’m hoping that we get a couple of surprise entrants in
this to make it abit more interesting, after all this match was only open to
former WWE champions, so it’s possible that The Miz could compete as a one off
from his movie filming, Rey Mysterio is due back this week, why not bring him
in, Mick Foley could do a match, or would WWE shock us in bringing back
Undertaker for one night? I think the most likely option is that the loser in
the World Heavyweight Championship match will be involved in this match. Chris
Jericho will not win, as Fozzy will release a new album in a month’s time and
there is to be a tour to coincide with the album, Kane will not win as he just
seems to be random at the moment, WWE seem to be using him in multiple stories
with nothing solid. Ultimately it’s going to be between Cena and Big Show but I
don’t see Big Show winning, if you remember 2 years ago at the first Money In
The Bank event, WWE made such a big deal out of Big Show being unable to climb
a regular ladder as his weight cannot be held, so unless Show brings his super
heavyweight ladder, then he ain't going up nothing. Money In The Bank usually
is a surprise to us, but I don’t see a surprise in this match as John Cena will
make history and win his first Money In The Bank match.
Prediction:
John Cena
World
Heavyweight Championship Match
In recent weeks, we have seen an aggressive Alberto
Del Rio, and this has been much needed, otherwise this would be a landslide
victory for Sheamus, but Del Rio has had the upper hand over Sheamus lately,
and recently, he used one of his cars to his advantage and beat down Sheamus.
Sheamus however, is on such a roll as World Heavyweight Champion that it’s hard
to see anyone that can beat him legitimately, that’s why I think the only way
Sheamus will lose his title is to someone cashing in Money In The Bank. For
Sunday, this will hopeful be a good match, that makes Del Rio look as good as
Sheamus, because if Sheamus dominates Del Rio, what’s for him next? The only
way that having Del Rio lose quickly would work is that later in the night, Del
Rio wins the WWE Championship Money In The Bank Contract.
Prediction:
Sheamus
WWE
Championship Match With A.J. As Special Guest Referee
A.J. has been the best thing to watch on Raw and
SmackDown in a long time, and having her play all the games with Kane, Punk and
Bryan over the last few months has been really enjoyable, when was the last
time that a woman closed out Raw on consecutive weeks?? My one little concern
is that the focus is going to be on A.J. rather than the match itself, but
anytime that Punk and Bryan get in the ring, we are guaranteed a top quality
match. I think I’m safe in saying that we are all expecting that there is going
to be some sort of screw job or dirty finish to this match, but that doesn’t mean
that I’m saying that A.J. is going to screw over Punk for him to lose the title,
what’s to say that A.J. doesn’t screw Bryan? The ending of this match will
ultimately leave the story open for a return match at SummerSlam and this could
be the widely rumoured Iron Man match. As for Sunday, expect some great
wrestling and great storytelling.
Prediction
CM Punk
