In less than 12 hours, WWE will put on the 3rd Over the Limit! Currently, 5 matches are scheduled to take place but I'm sure that will change. Let's get started!
Tag title match should open up the show. I got high hopes for this one as we have the amazing duo of Kingston and Ziggler who have some great in ring chemistry. Ziggler and Swagger are just stepping stones for Truth and Kingston like they were for Air Boom. They're getting a title shot to make Truth and Kingston seem like a nice duo. That's fine with me as it should be a good match up. I'm going with the good guys to win in what should be a nice tag team match-up.
Layla and Beth Phoenix is my most anticipated Divas Title match in years. One of the last Divas matches that I really enjoyed was Layla/McCool from Extreme Rules last year. Another one was Kelly Kelly and Phoenix from SummerSlam. So maybe we'll actually get a watchable Divas match this PPV. Here's hoping. I don't think Phoenix is getting the title back just yet as I think Layla is just holding it until Kharma finally returns. Layla returns.
I know it won't be this early, I'm just putting this now, but the Cena/Laurinaitis match seems pointless to me and SHOULD NOT be the main event. And now with the two stipulations in place, all signs point to a Laurinaitis win due to interference but from who? People are saying the obvious choice is Big Show, so he can get his job back which means we'll being seeing the boring Cena/Show feud WHICH also means they'll question if Cena can lift Big Show for the AA even though he's done it a billion times before. Could we see Lesnar come back? This eats up one of his dates, so I don't think WWE is willing to do that. The rumor mill has also talked about Batista coming back, which would interest me. It's been two years since a Batista appearance in WWE, could now be the time to bring him back? What if WWE swerves us all and just has Cena go over Laurinaitis clean? Sorry, I don't think that will be the case. Laurinaitis wins due to interference.
The Fatal Four Way match for the World Title will be a great war. 4 different superstars from different backgrounds competing for one of the biggest titles in the company. Del Rio is DEFINITELY not winning. How are you apart of a big title match this weekend and not appear on either show? That's insane. He doesn't have the credibility of 2011 Del Rio hence he will not win. Jericho DESPERATELY needs a win. He hasn't won on PPV since his return. This has been a failed return for the best in the world at everything he does. The only way he can make up for it is by winning the title, which I'm sure he'll drop by MITB. A Sheamus/Orton feud is brewing and I'm interested in a feud between the two, even if we already saw it on Raw in 2010. All guys need a win but I think Sheamus is going to retain. I wouldn't be surprised if Jericho won and I would be most surprised if the underdog Del Rio pulled an upset. I'm going with Sheamus to retain tonight.
What should be the main event is a possible match of the year candidate in CM Punk meeting Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship. There's nothing I can really say about this but WOW. Two guys who weren't even suppose to be in the WWE are getting second billing at the biggest wrestling company in the world for the richest prize in the industry. Hopefully, with only 5 or 6 matches, WWE will give time to the two indy stars and let them have the match the Internet Wrestling Community wants. We want to see a technical based match. We want to see them go 25-30 minutes. We want this to be the MAIN EVENT! The show closer! I really don't care who wins, just as long as this match gets the time it deserves and is a wresting classic. I'm going with CM Punk to win though just because.
Alright, so what will fill in the gaps for the rest of the PPV? A Damien Sandow appearance? Ryback/Tensai/Clay squash match? Rhodes or Marella surprise title match? The Miz? What will WWE do with the extra time? Who knows, but I'm sure with this card, this can be the best Over the Limit in existence IF WWE just gives the World Title matches time, especially Punk/Bryan.

Feeling this card
<p>Maybe it's just me but I'm loving this Over the Limit card! Layla vs Phoenix could be the best Divas title match since Kelly Kelly. vs Phoenix at SummerSlam. As long as Phoenix still isn't selling that injury. Cena vs Ace has something up its sleeve. It has to. Why else would they make that travesty of a match? I'm sure Cena will have to run a gauntlet of monster superstars including Tensai and Henry. Maybe even Christian or any other returning superstar?</p>
<p>I was already looking forward to Del Rio Vs Sheamus, call me crazy but now that it's a Fatal Four Way with Jericho AND Orton invovled, I'm freaking sold. I still think the whole beat the clock challenge was a botch on the ref's part so they gave Jericho a title match to make up for it. Orton had to be involved in a big match on the card. He's on the darn poster of the event. We haven't seen a four way for the world title in ages. Has it really been since the Fatal Four Way PPV back in 2010? Either way I'm really looking forward to the match.
The whole reason Over The Limit is getting my 60 bucks is the amazing pro wrestling contest that is going to be CM Punk Vs Daniel Bryan. Yes, I understand that Punk and Bryan fought like 3 times in the beginning of the year. So did Punk and Cena last year and then had the match of the year at Money in the Bank. What's your point? If you're any kind of pro wrestling fan, you should be looking forward to Punk VS Bryan. It won't be some hardcore battle like Lesnar VS Cena but it will be a true pro wrestling match between two guys who weren't even suppose to be in the WWE. I hope that this match main events as Cena main eventing ANOTHER PPV is getting old. Don't get me wrong, he deserved the last two but at Elimination Chamber? Come on. WWE give Punk and Bryan the main event. Let the internet wrestling fans be happy for once. Give the guys a good half hour and I'm sure Over The Limit will be talked highly about.
I don't know what other matches could be on the event. I'm sure Lori and Truth will defend against Epico and Promo and we'll be treated to another classic match between Rhodes and Big Show. Maybe even a Ryback squash? Well if the last two PPVs has proven anything, it's that the main events deliver and I'm sure Over the Limit will be no different.

Cena beats Lesnar! Punk VS Bryan at Over the Limit!
Extreme Rules was good this year, not better than last year's edition. Let's break it down.
The Orton/Kane match was pretty good. Standard Falls Count Anywhere action. I liked the DDT off the announce table. Anyway, Orton gets the victory with a RKO on a chair and hopefully will move on to a feud more interesting.
Clay beats Ziggler. Ziggler has fallen SO FAR since January. One day kid...
Rhodes regains the IC Title, which means WWE isn't ready to push the young kid just yet. That's fine, as long as he's doing something in the WWE. Hopefully, this is the last match of this feud as I'm sick of it as well. Congrats Rhodes! Keep the title this time!
Daniel Bryan and Sheamus have the match they should have had at Wrestlemania. What a WRESTLING match this was. I really like Bryan in the ring as he can bring out the best in anyone and Sheamus definitely had to step his game up to beat Bryan. The end came when Sheamus hit a nasty Brogue Kick on Bryan to retain. I'm alright with the outcome, but where was AJ? They showed her in the promo so I'm thinking she would make an appearance in the match at least, but she was nowhere to be found. With this victory, Bryan will be taking a break from the World Title division while I guess Del Rio steps up. Del Rio VS Sheamus could be good, two guys who got pushed WAY too fast and paid for it lol.
Ryback squash.
Punk and Jericho gave fans the exact opposite of what they saw at Wrestlemania and it was GREAT. Punk and Jericho did just about everything you can do in a street fight and it was easily the match of the night. The elbow through the announce table was amazing to see. CM Punk defeats Jericho again in his hometown and now moves on. So, what is next for Jericho?
The main event between Lesnar and Cena was much more brutal and bloody than I would have ever expected. Lesnar must have forgotten that this is pro wrestling and not UFC. Those elbows to Cena were NASTY! Lesnar completely dominated Cena in this match, but in the end, Lesnar made one mistake and Super Cena appeared and with two moves, John Cena defeated Brock Lesnar in the main event of Extreme Rules. It was surprising to say the least to see Lesnar lose like that, but refreshing as well. Cena NEEDED the victory.
Anyway, Extreme Rules was good. Let's get to Over the Limit. In one of the weirdest moves WWE has made this year, Daniel Bryan won a Beat the Clock challenge and will now face WWE Champion CM Punk for the belt at OTL. What? Where the hell did this come from? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I've wanted to see a PPV match between the two since they had their series of matches in the beginning of the year, but it's just random. A little part of me believes that the referee messed up with Jericho's match and at the last minute, made Daniel Bryan the #1 contender. Maybe Jericho will complain and it will become a Triple Threat. That would be this generation's Angle/Benoit/Jericho. In a shocking twist, Johnny Ace will face Cena at OTL. I don't know where to begin with this one. For one, I thought Cena was going to take part in the Beat the Clock challenge, win, and finally give us Punk/Cena 3 for the WWE Title. 2nd, you know this is going to be a handicap match where Cena will face heels like Henry, Ziggler, Swagger, and Tensai only to come back and defeat his boss. 3rd, NOBODY WANTS TO SEE THIS MATCH! It's pointless! Give me Punk/Cena or Cena/Ziggler, just not this. Maybe there is something to it. Maybe WWE has something up their sleeve but I guess we'll have to see. Over the Limit is looking like it's going to be another 1 match PPV. I'm not interested in Cena/Johnny boy and I don't know if Del Rio/Sheamus will be really good. I DO know if Bryan and Punk get 25 minutes, they'll steal the show and have match of the year, but only time will tell. Hopefully, the undercard matches will be good, hopefully something with Rhodes/Orton? I know we've seen it already but I want to see it again, give Rhodes a chance to beat Orton for the IC Title. Maybe something with Christian? I don't know, but Bryan/Punk will be amazing, guaranteed!
