Wow, this is my first post in June. Crazy. Anyway, Capitol Punishment is Sunday and it has some potential. Let's break it down!
Mysterio/Punk should open the show. You've seen the match a billion times already. Easily could be a show stealer but the fact that I've seen it so many times before makes me feel like I'm wasting money. CM Punk hasn't won a PPV match this year so I wanna see him get that first victory. I gotta go with Punk but IMO, they should combine this with the WWE Title Match. It'd give viewers a much better reason for buying.
Barrett/Jackson one-on-one for the first time literally. No Corre to help Young Master Barrett now. I think it's about time to give Zeke the title so I gotta go with Ezekiel Jackson on this one. It won't be a technically sound match like the Punk/Mysterio match, but it could be solid. Hopefully, after this, Barrett will finally take the steps necessary to get a World Title match.
Del Rio/Show, I could care less. I know this is just a placeholder feud until the Cena/Del Rio showdown at SummerSlam, but they couldn't have given him a better opponent? Big Show is extremely furious so I think Del Rio is going to win by DQ.
Ziggler/Kingston have had MANY MANY good matches for the IC Title and they're going to have another good one for the US Title. I want to see Dolph get another title, but I can see them keeping the gold on Kofi. I'll go with Ziggler regardless.
Miz/Riley, a match I care about! This is Riley's big chance to show he belongs in main event scene on Raw. If he has a bad performance in this match, than you can kiss his career goodbye. It should be a pretty good back and forth match with Miz dominating most of it. I can see A-Ril getting the victory to push his career, but Miz is coming off two huge loses so I gotta go with Miz on this one. I already see too many heels winning on this card.
Christian/Orton is up in the air right now. Orton's had a concussion, but he's cleared to wrestle on Sunday. Due to that, I'm not expecting a classic like their OTL match. It should be a good match but not up to par with the OTL one. Orton wins again, sweeps another wrestler blah blah. Hopefully, Barrett or Rhodes is up next.
Speaking of Rhodes, HE DOESN'T HAVE A MATCH FOR CAPITOL PUNISHMENT! Are you kidding me? He has a great feud with Mysterio, BEATS HIM AT WRESTLEMANIA, and now doesn't have a match for another WWE PPV? Did he piss in someone's Cheerios? Hopefully, they add Rhodes/DiBiase VS Cara/Bryan to the card.
Truth/Cena SHOULD get the main event spot. I'm really looking forward to this, and not just because this is the first time a black man is getting a WWE Title shot in 4 years. I like R-Truth's character and his heel turn has been close to perfect. Only way to make it perfect is with a WWE Title win. Will it happen? No. It ruins Cena/Del Rio at SummerSlam. I think Morrison is going to interfere in some fashion to get R-Truth head outta the game. Do I want to see Truth as champion? Another other than Cena. Is it going to happen? No. Cena makes Truth tap out, sending the crowd home happy. I'll be the happiest man in the world if Truth pulls off the upset but it just isn't going to happen.
Capitol Punishment isn't going to be a five star event, but it does start off the summer PPVs, which stars with this, then Money in the Bank (CAN'T WAIT) and then Summerslam! Cena/Del Rio, Truth/Morrison, Miz/Mysterio? Rhodes/Orton? Could be another big event dominated by the young talent! Time will tell though
