Over The Limit Predictions

Well here we are, another WWE Event (This one with a crap name and crap promo video with the family i it I may add). Over The Limit comes to us this Sunday and as always when it comes to these events, I post predictions, so without further adu, lets jump into them.

R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio

I'm loving Truth's heel work, he now looks like a legitimate player in the WWE, beforehand with the fan friendly rapper gimmick, he was just the fill in guy that would never ammount to anything, now as a heel, he is cementing his authority on Raw, and taking his past frustrations out upon everyone. This match was meant to be against John Morrison but due to injury that will not take place, however for when Jomo gets back, it provides a great back story to get straight back into. The Truth/Mysterio story has also been good, Truth pushing the PG card too using somewhat racist views about Rey and Alberto Del Rio when all were campaigning for number 1 contendership for the WWE title, general concensus about R-Truth being he doesn't deserve to be pushing for main events, and this is Truth's chance to “Stick it to the man” so to say. As for a prediction on this match, it's a no brainer to me, it makes no sense to build up a good heel character and them knock him off at the first chance, R-Truth gets the win here over Rey.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Big Show & Kane (c) vs. CM Punk & Mason Ryan of Nexus

Seems strange actually having the tag titles defended on a PPV, didn't think WWE cared anymore. An interesting match, Mason can definitely counter act the 2 giants on the opposing team, and I wouldnt be surprised if at somepoint during this match that Mason actually slams Big Show, and CM Punk is having some of his best matches in WWE, the Kofi one on Raw was slightly below par but was still good. Kane and Big Show need legitimate challengers for the belts, in fact when you think about it, besides The Corre, who else is actually a tag team?? And it's not like Gabriel and Slater can stand toe to toe with the champions. I can see this match going both ways but I think that Kane & Big Show get the win, and this could be a slow exit from Nexus for Mason Ryan.

Kiss My Foot Match: Jerry Lawler vs. Sir Michael Cole

Not wasting my time on this, please WWE, end this silly feud, this is not PPV worthy, hell it's not even TNA worthy. King finally shuts Cole up.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Wade Barrett (c) vs. Ezekiel Jackson

The Intercontinental title is being defended too?? I actually cannot remember the last PPV it was defended on, it was probably Night Of Champions, as it had to be defended then. This match is a good chance for both to shine, I thought the move to SmackDown would be great for Wade, in fact he has been very inafective on the Blue Brand. Big Zeke in a face role doesn't really work for me but away from The Corre is a good move, Zeke has the presence that he should be the baddest man in the WWE, he looks like he has the largest arms in the WWE too. I dont think that this is going to be the best match of the night, due to Zeke being all power, but if they can make it work then it's all good with me. As for predicting the winner of the match, again I can see it going both ways but I predict we have a new Intercontinental champion and Ezekiel Jackson wins, this will be a good thing for both men as it gives Zeke a platform to work from and will hopefully give Barrett a chance to work his way up into World Heavyweight Championship contension, a place I believe he belongs after all the good runs on Raw with Nexus.

World Heavyweight Championship: Randy Orton (c) vs. Christian

First prediction, is that this match will probably be the match of the night, Orton has been in the best form of his career and if their SmackDown match is anything to go by, then this one will be a classic. In truth, before this match happens, I was half expecting a Christian heel turn as some part of his desire to get the title back but so far they have been very sporting about the whole situation, shaking hands and many other things, but when it comes to it, it needs to be decided in the ring, hanshakes aside and lets see who has what it takes to defeat the other man. Since losing the title, the entire internet was in uproar about Christian dropping the belt, knowing WWE, there has to be a bigger picture, is Over The Limit going to be the culmination of the bigger picture?? In my view, Orton will retain and this will be the catylist of Christan's downfall and thrust him into a heel turn and a long rivalry with Orton and eventually regaining the World Heavyweight Title.

WWE Championship “I Quit” Match: John Cena (c) vs. The Miz

This match is a no brainer, Cena cannot lose in an I Quit environment, it's almost like Undertaker losing at WrestleMania, it's unheard of. The only way that Miz can win this is if he play's the 1999 Royal Rumble card and play a tape of Cena shouting “I Quit”. Cena is going to win, but i'm hoping that this will be a good match and a good end to the event.

There may be a possibility for a Sin Cara match on the card also and he may take on Chavo Guerrero, Sin Cara would win on his PPV debut and Chavo will be a good man to wrestle with and teach him some more things, it could be a great advertising to WWE to say “Relaunch the Cruiserweights”.

Well there's my predicitons, hope it's a good read whether you agree or disagree, and lets hope Over The Limit is a good event too because Extreme Rules is a hard act to follow.
