Here we go, WWE Money in the Bank is Sunday! This PPV will be a game changer guaranteed. Right now, we only have four matches announced. What the heck? Five if you count the pre show match, which doesn't make any sense since the Prime Time Players are the #1 contenders but whatever. Let's break down the matches.
The World Heavyweight Championship MITB will open the show as it's basically Smackdown's match. This should be good and exciting. This is the game changing match up. One of these guys will be the next World Champion without question. Let's break down each competitor.
Santino Marella is solely in this match to give the crowd the underdog feeling. I'm sure he will be close to winning this match before the real winner does win, just like at Elimination Chamber. Who knows, maybe WWE will shock everyone and actually let him win. I wouldn't be surprised and I'm actually really preparing myself for a Marella victory. I wouldn't like it one bit, but it would give me more hope for a Barrett return, you know, kind of take it away from Marella like Edge did with Kennedy.
Tyson Kidd is in this match as the Shelton Benjamin aka the highlight reel. I'm sure Kidd will do plenty of crazy aerial attacks to try and get noticed. If you don't know who Kidd is before the match, I'm sure you will afterwards. Chances of winning the match? Slim to none but I wouldn't be mad if he won for two reasons. 1. Kidd is crazy talented. 2. Barrett return storyline. Can you tell I miss my boy Barrett?
Sin Cara is also in this match for his high flying ability. I don't see a Sin Cara victory AT ALL. It just isn't going to happen, sorry Sin Cara fans. I expect a couple cools spots from him though.
Damien Sandow is in this match because...well, I don't why. To give him exposure? To start his new feud with one of the particpants in the match? I would like to believe Sandow will start a midcard feud with Christian after this match but who knows? His chances of winning? Better than Sin Cara's but I don't see it.
Tensai is in the powerhouse position of the MITB. He will dominate in this match. He will destroy one of the ladders with either Sin Cara or Kidd, most likely Kidd. Will he win? He's got a good chance. I think WWE can give him the briefcase and build him up as an unstoppable monster again. I like Tensai to a certain extent, so I wouldn;t be mad if he won. I just think he can get into the title picture without the briefcase and I really would love to see a Sheamus/Tensai feud after their hard hitting match on Raw a month back.
Christian is the veteran and obvious fan favorite to win this match but I don't want him to win at all. He's already been World Champion twice and has proven he can get into the World Title picture on his own. Christian doesn't need this match to get into the main event and that's why I don't think he should win. Will he? He's got a fantastic chance as he's the most experienced superstar in the match. I don't want to see it.
Dolph Ziggler is going to do what he does best, SHOW OFF. I'm expecting some good spots from him as well. For me, he's one of the favorites. This man is on the verge of breaking out and he's really proving that's he one of the top performers in the company. Will he win this match though? He's my #2 pick. He's been in many World Title matches this year but has come up short on each occasion. I think Ziggler can win his 2nd World Title on his own, but the MITB briefcase will definitely help. He's got a good chance to finally get his moment on Sunday.
My favorite, Cody Rhodes, NEEDS to win this match. He's lost his IC Title, which he held for almost 8 months and he has no direction on Smackdown now after his feud with Christian. What else is Rhodes going to do now? The only thing for Rhodes to do is to go up, which means to win the MITB match. It's his time. Rhodes has paid his dues and after Sunday, he'll be one step closer to being a World Champion.
So there you go. I'm picking Rhodes to win it all this weekend. It's hard though, two guys on the verge of breaking out and I want them both to win, but Rhodes hasn't tasted World Title gold yet or even the main event scene so I gotta go with him. This reminds me of last year, where Rhodes and Barrett were both on the verge of breaking out and Daniel Bryan just shocked the world. Could we see it again?
I'm guessing Ryback will be facing Reks and Hawkings at MITB since he's beaten both of them one on one. Ryback wins.
Del Rio will FINALLY face Sheamus one on one for the World Title. Sheamus has been on an ABSOLUTE roll since becoming World Champion. He's unbeatable, he's like Cena during his 1st reign with the WWE Title. Del Rio isn;t stopping this guy, I don't think anyone is but Barrett, Big Show, Kane, or Tensai, someone his own size. Sheamus retains over Del Rio in a pretty good match. With Del Rio told to be more aggressive and with him injuring Sheamus on the live Smackdown, will WWE allow the MITB winner to cash in? I'm keeping an eye out. In 2010, Kane cashed in. In 2011, Del Rio tried to cash in. Just saying...
The WWE Title MITB is really a waste of time. I hope Miz/Mysterio/the loser of the World Title match get added to the match at the last minute to add some more suspense to the match since we all know John Cena is going to walk out with the briefcase. Raw's MITB are always predictable so why not be predictable again? Big Show needs to win or he's going to have a failed heel turn but I don't want Big Show anywhere near Punk and the WWE Title. Go over on Smackdown and mess with Sheamus, not Punk. If Miz somehow gets into the match, I'm picking him to win just because I don't want Cena to win. If not, Cena wins, faces Punk at SummerSlam most likely.
CM Punk and Daniel Bryan will hopefully main event the PPV where they both got their big pushes but who will walk out with the WWE Championship? With the dirt sheets all saying Punk/Cena will be in the WWE Title match at SummerSlam, one would assume Punk will walk out as champion but I don't see that. Cena would cash in on Bryan after the match and since Rock is going to be at the 1000th Raw and has already said he wants the WWE Title, it's more likely to see this scenario. play out. We also have to consider this whole Punk channeling his old ROH heel turn promo. Is Punk just playing with us smark fans or will he be turning heel? A heel Punk chasing Cena for the title interests me a bit but I think WWE would want to cash in on both superstars' popularity, make the mega match at SummerSlam and then have Punk turn heel afterwards. Anyway you cut it, this one is hard to predict. I haven't even MENTIONED the psycho AJ yet. Wow, WWE has another chance to do something amazing here. Since Punk has been on the longest WWE Title reign in years, I think it will continue. I'm going with CM Punk to retain over Daniel Bryan this Sunday. I don't know how and I love it. I'm going to simply watch this match as a fan.
SummerSlam is coming and that means time for a dream card that won;t happen! Here's mine!
Triple H VS Brock Lesnar - No Holds Barred
CM Punk VS John Cena - WWE Title
Sheamus VS Big Show - World Title
Daniel Bryan VS Chris Jericho
Dolph Ziggler VS Randy Orton
Just let me say that the Sheamus/Show isn't my DREAM World Title match, that's Barrett/Sheamus, but it makes the most sense. Bryan and Jericho already teased some tension when they teamed a couple weeks ago and match between the two would be amazing. Ziggler was suppose to feud with Orton before he was suspended so why not do it now? Please realize that this is just a dream card and I know it won't happen at all.
Well, there are my MITB predictions. #Rhodesorriot!
