They have announced both MITB matches for this year's big PPV and I'm generally impressed by both matches. I don't think I've ever been THIS excited for both ladder matches at the event and to be honest, this year there is also a little mystery with who's going to win each match. Well, not the WWE Title one if you are to believe the dirt sheets. Let's talk about them!
The WWE Title MITB SHOULD main event this PPV as it is the All-Star Game of WWE. All former World Champions in this one ala the WWE MITB last year but this one has more superstars and has the potential to be match of the night. You have CM Punk, the longest reigning WWE Champion in 25 years, Kane, a ladder match veteran, Daniel Bryan, the man trying to prove he's not the weak link, Randy Orton, one of the most vicious WWE competitors in WWE, Sheamus, the hard hitting Irishman, Christian, another ladder match expert returning from injury, and the wild card, Rob Van Dam, making his return to WWE. It's really what the WWE Title MITB should be if they're going to do it like this. If you're only going to put former champions in it, than this is how you do it. There are going to be some epic spots in this match and all this guys are going to do something special. I'm really looking forward to seeing Bryan and RVD mix it up and hopefully it will be a precursor for things to come. If the rumors are true, then we can expect Daniel Bryan to win and cash in at SummerSlam, setting up the match of the year potential of Bryan/Cena. It makes sense and it obviously the money match. RVD won't win in his first match back. Punk is too busy setting up his match with Lesnar. The rest, I could make an argument for, but I think it's just best if Bryan, with all these huge main eventers in the match, to overcome the odds and show that he's not the weak link. I'm really looking forward to this match and I hope that it lives up to its full potential.
Now the World Title MITB doesn't feature main event superstars but it does feature the future of WWE. Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Antonio Cesaro, Jack Swagger, Wade Barrett, Fandango, and Dean Ambrose. Basically, it's like my dream match come true. The only thing about dream matches is that only one of your favorites can win. I've been waiting for Barrett to break out for years now. You guys know how big a fan I am of his. I'm always pulling for Barrett but I wouldn't be surprised if Ambrose is the one to win this one but to be honest, I would be happy with anyone winning BUT Swagger and I don't think it's likely he'll win due to his recent trouble with the law. I called Fandango being apart of this match back in May. Could he actually be the one to win this match? And that's the reason I'll watch this match. While it has potential to be a show stealer as well, I'm more looking forward to the future. If Cesaro, Barrett, Rhodes, Sandow, Fandango or Ambrose win, one of the guys is going to be the future World Heavyweight Champion. It's basically a guarantee! I've never experienced a MITB with all my favorites in one match so I'm really torn but I'll definitely be watching intently to see who wins. I'm seriously good with ANYONE except Swagger. He already has his.
Ziggler/Del Rio, Jericho/Ryback, and Cena/Henry are all good additions to this card as well. I expect Axel/Miz and maybe Shield/Usos to be announced for the PPV as well but right now, they could just do those 5 matches and call it a night. This could be the most monumental MITB since 2011. Could you imagine if Ambrose wins and cashes in that night? He would hold the US Title AND the World Title, something that hasn't been done yet. And when is the last time you've seen a double singles champion? It's been awhile? What if Wade Barrett, after being SO CLOSE so many times before FINALLY retrieves the briefcase and becomes England's first World Champion? I think you can tell what two guys I really want to win.
Bray Wyatt for World Title MITB winner in 2014!
