HHH Vs Edge Should be a good solid match, hopefully lead to a lengthly feud.

John Cena vs JBL ?- Bad Bad Bad First Blood Bad !

CM Punk Vs Batista - i have a feeling it should be a good match, hope CM punk wins.

Shawn Michaels vs Y2J - this is not going to be the first match of the feud, but should still be quality.

Does not look like Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase jnr will feature which is a pity since the promo on raw the other week was good.

Rjd2

Now Michelle v Natalya for the divas belt as well.
Also does anybody need to see JBL v Cena again? How JBL actually won any of the 212 matches they have had?:rolleyes:

I'm looking forward to Cena and JBL. They'll probably have a better match in the car park than they would in the ring

Machismo Fan

At least there is a bit of originality about this event, two never before seen World title matches.:eek:

Ecw-Original

Apparently Punk is set for a decent run, Which is good because we wont see batista as the world champion for a while

I'm interested to see how they play that match out, for its finish more than anything. As far as i can remember, there hasnt been an encounter with these two before?

Hope Cena gets Cryme tyme involved again, they seem to have a good thing going. I also like how way he is slowly slipping down the card more and more these days too.

They had a great street fight at No Way Out a number of years ago.

-Triple H vs. Edge for the WWE Title. - I have a suspicion that Edge will win the title in some shady manner. Winner- Edge (New WWE Champ)

-C.M. Punk vs. Batista for the World Title. - This is a very delicate match. They need to make Punk a legit Champ, which means a clean win is probably needed. I think Punk will retain the title, but due to interference which is bad for Punk. Winner - Batista (DQ- Punk still WHC)

-John Cena vs. JBL in a New York City Parking Lot Brawl - JBL is due to a victory over Cena. Winner- JBL

-Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho - This could go either way but i'll lean towards HBK. Winner- HBK

-Nattie Neidhart v Michelle McCool- I hope Natalya, I really do. Winner- Natalya.

I wonder if HHH will take time off after the match with a baby on the way and Taker coming back. If he is staying around I wonder who is he going to work with during the Edge/Taker fued.

Him and MVP feuding would be great..But it would be sad to see a rising star like MVP to be buried. There would be good mic segments in it too.

I was thinking about that the other day. When is Stephanie due? I wouldn't be surprised to see an Edge/ Taker/ HHH match at SS.

She is over 8 months

If doing HHH/Edge so soon is any indication this could happen. Usually when they do matches so soon there is a reason why that we only learn after the fact such as Cena/Lashley last year because Lashley was injured.

What sort of time-off is the norm for this situation rovert?

Ah yes, Lashley. The man who was a superstar to everyone but the fans!:D

A HHH/ Edge/ Taker match at SS would be awesome, given there is enough time to build it up....

They've only have one child so there is no real norm. Steph has been off the road for the last couple of weeks. But yeah HHH will not be expected to work on the road for the and after the birth unlike nearly every other wrestler on the roster. Do you remember the Raw which Steph went into labour just before and they had to rewrite a show centred around DX. So Hbk had to go out to try and explain in very tongue in cheek the reason why HHH wasnt there.

He did become a star during his last match, the crowd was amazing.

Would you have the single matches first not to mention leave Hunter/Taker wrestling each other for Wrestlemania?

If HHH is taking a considerable amount of time off (say a month or something) they might as well before he leaves go for the big time money-maker (HHH/ Taker/ Edge) on one of their biggest PPV's, SS.

If, as reported, the WWE are still planning on a Edge/ Taker match at SS I don't see HHH stepping to the side. The only guy I could see HHH feuding with outside of the title picture right now would be MVP, but he seems to be getting involved with Kennedy and Umaga. I have a *feeling* once Edge/ Taker is absolutely over, the two headlone feuds from September - January on SD will be HHH/ Taker and Jeff/ Edge.

JP Liz

Hacketts have priced this up....
Cena a 4/5 is free money.

Henry, Punk and Natalya..Do a treble

Machismo Fan

JR just mentioned in passing on SD that Hardy will face Benjamin for the US title.

callaway92

Hardy gonna retain 10000000000%

Im not sure about backing Cena as he doesnt seem he has another feud lined up for Summerslam. ALTHOUGHT Cena isnt wrestling JBL on house shows next month meaning the feud is about to end.

While the plan is still to have Edge versus Taker at Summerslam resulting from the fall out of the wedding. I dont think they need a belt to get it over. With HHH being I dont think he is losing willingly.

Could HHH be taking time off though? With the baby on the way. Who is there for him to feud with? MVP I suppose, but I wouldn't be too sure

callaway92

They will need to serious work for the fans to boo Edge again though..All was shown on SD haha

The problem with the betting on Wrestling is that with alot of the matches DQ finished could screw you over big time. I think I will take some of that on Cena though as there's no possibility of a dusty finish

Any chance of an elaboration. I haven't been following this programme so I have no idea how these matches will go

rovert

Another piece of information: Jeff is on the new WWE magazine talking about his upcoming Smackdown title challenges. So one might think HHH will beat Edge and turn heel soon after to feud with Hardy.

Cena has no opponent for Summerslam or a new feud in the works so he might face JBL again at Summerslam. I know they have been feuding for AGES but WWE seemed to hit reset on it after the draft and kind of started the feid from the beginning again. Cena doesnt have a title anymore so it is more likely he could lose to JBL then when he had the belt.

Bubs101

Even still, I can't remember the last time Cena lost to someone who didn't have the belt on PPV and JBL has barely won one since he came back. Can't see Cena losing to him, it would do him damage

Well Cena did get run over (a built in excuse for a loss) and it is a parking lot brawl hardly a match with a clean 1-2-3. Cena could start coughing blood, be attacked by Priceless etc. The character is well known for and is built around cheap wins.

But also I do acknowledge the existence of MEGACENA

But that's one of the reasons I'm confident Cena will win. It has all the hallmarks of a Cena win. Get's demolished on Raw, picks up an FU or an STFU just as his opponent is about to hit his finisher. I'd be surprised if it didn't happen

MEGACENA, Wrestler in disguise

HHH/Edge are going on last. Read into that what you will.

michael.etc...

If anyone's interested, we have a preview up

http://www.wwepreview.com/2008/07/ppv-preview-wwes-great-american-bash/

Not as detailed as usual, because usually three of us contribute, but hey.

To be honest, i wouldn't read into the Edge/HHH match going on last at all, i would have thought that was a done deal. But some people will!

Vicki is set to get involved in the finish

I think that was always obvious? i couldn't imagine at any point the match going without some sort of hijinks, but it's the sort of main event that benefits from a little chaos...

Yes but this confirmation of that

justbringit89

sorry guys but i need help , Anyone using that Hackets Site?? i deposited money but cant put the money on HHH. How do i make the bet???

callaway92

Dont bet on HHH..He will probably win but a DQ will win it because Vickie will interfere and then thats bye bye to yore monies

CMpunked

Have a feeling its gonna be a case of bait and switch here, as in vickie comes out to, what we assume, screw edge over, where it actually turns into her screwing hhh over, turning trips into the new taker situation.

Shaneomac

Is Mike Adamle genuinely this bad or is he being told what to say as a practical joke. Funny heel turn though.

RebelRockChick

Anyone else watching GAB?

Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder new tag team champs
Shelton, new United States Champ
Michelle McCool first winner of the Diva title

orestes

Yep, I'm watching it too.

Punk came out of that looking like a real champion, got laid out twice by two different people, very clever. I didn't buy him as being a champion when he won it, wwe are hardly helping matters by having him hold on to his title by beating Kane by count-out on Raw and Batista at GAB by double DQ. Way to make the champ look like a chump. Here's hoping the promo they showed for Summerslam with Jericho going for the title is true

callaway92

Not that I care that much but WHY didnt they give the title to Natalya
