Punk makes a year!
Big Show and Sheamus had another hard hitting contest. In the end, a Brogue Kick to a ref and not playing attention costs Sheamus the World Title. I'm guessing a 3rd match in the feud is coming but what kind of match will they have at TLC? Tables obviously. Unfortunately, Ziggler didn't cash in yet. Will it happen at TLC or maybe on a random Smackdown? We'll see but Big Show is STILL the World Champion.
Team Ziggler wins! 2nd year in a row that the heel team has won at Survivor Series and 2nd year in a row that Orton has taken the final pinfall. Miz had some really good crowd reaction which is good. I'm really glad that Miz is becoming a face. It's much needed for his character. Miz also pinned Barrett. Maybe a feud between the two is coming? Anyway, was it surprising for anyone else to see Ziggler win with a Super Kick? HBK/Ziggler is coming right? Anyway, congrats to Ziggler for being the sole survivor!
IT'S ABOUT TIME! I remember when I went to Raw back in December and I saw a guy named Dean Ambrose. He lost to Ted DiBiase but I was impressed. Fast forward 11 months later, he has finally debuted on the main roster, along with Seth Rollings and a guy I don't know, Roman Reigns. And they came in with a bang! They destroyed the big man Ryback by throwing him through the table and patiently waited until Punk got the 3 count and retained his title! Will this be the start of a new stable? It's a pretty solid stable with Punk at the helm and has some major potential to be the change Punk was speaking of. Congrats to Punk who will now most likely hold the title until TLC which will also pass John Cena's longest reign, which is the point I want him to get to most. After that, he can lose the title and I'll be alright.
So what's next? Punk has done the impossible, holding the WWE Title for a year is no easy task, especially with Super Cena on the show but he has done it. Now with these new NXT superstars, will Punk last even longer? What will Cena and Ryback do?
There's so many questions and no answers. I think it's time for Punk to debut a new title belt now that he has held it for so long.
Overall, the PPV was solid. The main events were all good with the Triple Threat being the match of the night. This PPV has done nothing but pique my interest more in WWE so they have done their job. Great work WWE. Thanks for putting my boy Ambrose in the spotlight.

Survivor Series 2012 predictions and other things
Start the show with Cesaro and Truth. This feud seems very random and forced. Isn't there a bigger star for Cesaro to feud with? Come on Christian, get better faster, we need you! I think Cesaro wins, continues to roll.
I love me some traditional Survivor Series matches! Team Ziggler VS Team Orton, I know it's Foley, but I'm saying Orton! Team Ziggler, as I said, is a bomb squad of the future of WWE. With former world champs in Ziggler and Del Rio, the best tag team put together in WWE, Rhodes Scholars, and my soon to be England's first World Champion Wade Barrett. With such a team, can they really win against the hottest tag team in years, the hot Kofi Kingston, the newly turned face Miz (more on that later) and the reinvigorated Randy Orton? Also, seeing how the heel team won last year, I think Team Orton will get the victory here. Orton will be the sole survivor, probably facing a 1 on 3 situation again, probably Barrett/Del Rio/Ziggler.
Divas match, don't care. Eve wins. PLEASE GOD GIVES US SOME NEW DIVAS!
Sheamus and Big Show should have had a stipulation added to it. I saw the last half of the match at HIAC and loved the last little sequence they had. I would love to see another one. I have two different endings for this match. Either Sheamus wins, Big Show knocks him out and Ziggler cashes in or neither wins. They both hit their finishers, knock each other out and Ziggler comes and cashes in. It's time for Ziggler to cash in. It can't happen at TLC, that was last year. It's time to pull the trigger on this. My prediction is no matter who the winner, Ziggler will walk out as World Champion,
Though I love the traditional Survivor Series match, the reason I'm ordering this PPV is to see if Punk can do the impossible. He's facing Ryback and Super Cena at Survivor Series. Cena is UNDEFEATED. As in, never been beaten at this event. Punk is at his 364th day as champion on Sunday. Ryback is hungry! Something has to give. By some miracle, CM Punk will walk out as WWE Champion. I don't know how, maybe Lesnar has some involvement or some kind of screwy finish, but Punk will win and finally get to the 365th day as champion and introduce the WWE Title on that Raw.
Rumors has it that Punk will main event Wrestlemania 29. There are three matches that Punk can have that would be main event quality for the big event and they all happen to feature superstars from the Attitude Era.
Stone Cold has said he could return to wrestle in 4 months. 4 months is April. A Wrestlemania clash perhaps? Punk and Austin is the next dream match for me. I've lived to see Rock/Cena now I want to see Punk/Austin. It would be amazing to see. Maybe it would be best to wait for WM 30?
Punk/Rock is another interesting match-up. My only objection is that Punk probably would lose this weekend to Cena and that Rock would probably have to beat Cena AGAIN, which would be absolutely horrible. Punk and Rock would make so much sense since Punk started his slow burn heel turn with attacking The Rock. I'd rather see it at Royal Rumble but if they held off for a main event at Mania with Punk winning, I'd be cool with it.
Punk/Taker is the match I want to see most. Simply because it makes SENSE. Punk wants respect. He would get everyone's respect if he defeats The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. It would only work if he continues to hold the title until April. Punk and Taker would be AMAZING, it would go along with Taker's outstanding resume the last couple of WMs. Punk wouldn't win but it would just be great to see 1, Punk main event Wrestlemania, 2, Undertaker win the WWE Title once more before retiring and 3, the match in general. Punk/Taker has to happen eventually, like Wrestlemania 29 eventually.
Punk VS Foley at TLC? No thank you. I'd rather see a final confrontation between Punk/Cena. A TLC match with a stip like if Punk wins Cena can't get a title shot as long as Punk is champion. It would be a nice final set-up to see who faces The Rock at Mania. It could be like how WWE did HBK/Taker II with Cena getting desperate and doing heelish things to get his rematch with The Rock. Maybe the stip would be that Cena can't get a WWE Title shot for a certain period. So Cena would then cost Rock the match at the Rumble. GENIUS!
So Miz is turning face? About time. I hope he has a good showing and I'm happy to see Ziggler/Miz on Main Event this week. Maybe a Miz/Ziggler World Title feud is coming soon. And after, let me get that rumored Cesaro/Miz feud. Miz going face is the way to go.
Orton is turning heel? Yes please. Orton is MUCH BETTER as a heel and I would like to see heel Orton run Smackdown. The Age of Orton needs to return! Orton/Sheamus is probably a top Smackdown feud for next year and why not? They never did it the other way around so I'd be interested again.
So, just a recap:
Punk wins this weekend
Ziggler cashes in
Punk/Taker should be the main event of Wrestlemania 29
Face Miz and Heel Orton are great ideas
Wade Barrett needs to win a World Title, like now
I'm looking forward to seeing how Punk retains his title on Sunday and even more looking forward to the potential Punk/Rock showdown at Royal Rumble. Thanks for reading.

Oh God
CM Punk is in serious trouble. Now that he won't be a team captain anymore he has to defend his title against two of Vince's golden boys in John Cena and Ryback. I have to commend Punk for one thing besides his long reign and that's the fact that this is the 3rd freaking triple threat match that he has defended his title in. When was the last champion who did that? I'm really nervous for Punk and the dream match (well for me anyway) of Punk/Rock slips further back to Wrestlemania. It's Survivor Series so there has to be a screw job right? Now that Vince is involved again right? Here's hoping that Punk pins Ryback again giving us Cena/Punk for the last time. Punk's 364th day as champion will be very interesting to say the least.
At least the traditional SS match is still intact! Now it's Team Orton vs Team Ziggler! There are a lot of reasons I'm looking forward to this match. One, it's probably going to be the starting point to the Ziggler/Orton feud. With rumors of the two to begin feuding over the World Title in early 2013, this is easily the best way to start. Two, it features some of my favorite wrestlers and also some of the best mid card talent. I mean, Team Ziggler is a bomb squad and features the future of the entire WWE. It features 3 members of Team Barrett from last year but I digress. Three, steam Orton has their last slot available. Who will fill that void? Will it be The Miz, who was unhappy with being left by former team captain CM Punk? A face turn for Miz would be very refreshing for his character and it could be exactly what he needs. Will it be some comedy act like Santino or Clay? Will it be someone returning? The options are open but it should be a very interesting contest.
These changes while out of left field are very welcome. Punk's title defense makes me very interested in the main event while I can't wait to see how Orton will try to survive this year. It probably doesn't help that Cena is undefeated at Survivor Series does it? Well November 18th can't come quick enough now!
Ziggler it's time to cash in now!

300th Post!
Now, onto WWE, so CM Punk retained against Ryback in controversial fashion and now at Survivor Series, he will lead a team of 5 to face Mick Foley's team of 5. That means a couple of things. One, CM Punk will get a break from defending the championship. Two, Punk will probably be featured in his 3rd straight main event, thank God. And most importantly, three, CM Punk will reach the year mark as champion, just as long as he doesn't have to defend the title on Raw. If you know me, you know I love them traditional Survivor Series match and it's been awhile since it has been in the main event spotlight. It will be Punk, Del Rio, Miz, and Rhodes Scholars taking on Ryback, Orton, Kingston, and Team Hell No. It's a pretty even match-up which will probably lead to Punk's first loss on PPV this year. I wonder what will be Punk's final challenge before The Royal Rumble? A Triple Threat with Ryback and Cena? Maybe throw Ziggler in the mix? Maybe a TLC with Cena? That's the one I'm most looking forward to. Speaking of Cena/Ziggler, SHOW STEALER! Book it for Survivor Series. Ziggler can look strong in defeat then cash in later in the night. Here's how it happens!
Sheamus defeats Big Show with a couple of Brogue Kicks. While he celebrates, Show hits him with the WMD. Out comes Ziggler while Big Show steps aside, happy that someone will have a title reign shorter than 45 seconds. Ziggler wins. My other scenario involves what happens on Main Event this week. If Barrett beats Sheamus, I think it's just fair to put him in the World Title match. Isn't that the rule anyway? I think that would be a very hard hitting title match.
The card is actually pretty nice. The 5-on-5 match, the potential Triple Threat World Title match, and the Ziggler/Cena all spell for a good card. Let's see if WWE can make this feel like a Big 4 PPV
