Indeed.


So first match announced is Punk v Cena in Chicago, Punk's home town. Punker is going to have work his arse off to get the crowd not to boo the hell out of Cena.

If he is in fact raw

leaving

then would it matter if they boo him or not?

Professional pride and all that. Punk has said he hates been cheered when he is a heel.

I would put money on Punk winning, but Del Rio cashing in the MITB having won it earlier in the night. Del Rio wins the title, Punk leaves having won the titles anwyay, we get Cena/DelRio at Summerslam.

I would love to see that. I think Cena has to drop the title before winning it back later in the year. I imagine The Rock will return around the Royal Rumble and cost Cena the title.

I think JoMo one is the main one

Second one is fake. Wrong date, wrong sponser (Skittles!!!!) and looks badly photoshopped

World champion Randy Orton vs. Christian will be officially announced for the 7/17 Money in the Bank PPV in Rosemont, IL this Friday.

irish_stevo815

I reckon Alberto Del Rio will be winning Raw's MITB match & Sheamus will be winning Smackdowns MITB, cashing in and winning the World Title at the PPV.

Mr. Guappa

At least this year we didn't have a MITB match at WrestleMania so this ppv has a somewhat fresh feel. I'd rather see six-person MITB matches but it's likely they will go with eight.

On the Raw side the following guys would be in the mix for this match:
1. The Big Show
2. Kofi Kingston
3. Alex Riley
4. Rey Mysterio
5. John Morrison
6. Evan Bourne
7. Jack Swagger
8. The Miz
9. R-Truth
10. Dolph Ziggler
11. Alberto del Rio

On the SmackDown side you're looking at:
1. Daniel Bryan
2. Kane
3. Sin Cara
4. Yoshi Tatsu
5. Ezekiel Jackson
6. Cody Rhodes
7. Jinder Mahal
8. Mark Henry
9. Sheamus
10. Wade Barrett
11. Ted DiBiase

This could be a cracking ppv. The two title matches should be good, the MITB matches look like they will be loaded with talent so they should deliver. Throw in a decent undercard match or two (Kofi/Ziggler?) plus the potential of a surprise MITB cash-in on the night and you've got a helluva card.

Is this on Sky Sports or Box Office?

D2D

Apparantly, it's on Sky Sports!!:D:D:D

Yeah they have to fill out the card:

1. Punk v. Cena
2. Orton v. Christian
3. Raw MITB
4. SD MITB
5. Brie v. Barbie Blank

Possible 6th and 7th matches would be US and IC title matches, I'd like to see the Uso's get a tag title shot too.

Why_So_Serious?

does any1 know if its on sky sports or box office???

cos i'm really having thoughts of ordering it

i'm hoping punk wins i know he hates people cheering him when he's heel but when ur one of the best things raw has too offer(r-truth being the other thing) how could he not be cheered

From what i've been reading del rio is getting a shot at summerslam....unless he's going too be the first person too cash for a proper match i doubt that'll happen.....I hope r-truth wins it and they could have him lose the match thanks too little jimmy and his conspiracies

as for sheamus winning i hope not cos in my opinion he never deserved too be pushed like he was when he first came in

Sheamus might not have deserved his initial run but I think his subsequent work means he deserves to be in a prominent position. He took it on the chin when he was on a big de-push on Raw and apparently didnt complain at all. I said this on the Orton interview thread but I was actually surprised how highly Orton thinks of him and by all accounts he's notoriously hard to please when in the ring with him.

He hasn't really got many opponents on the Raw roster to face that are free. Big Show's probably having a five star classic with Mark Henry. Maybe they'll do Champion vs Champion and it's Ziggler vs Ezekiel Jackson..?

I'm going to this, it's going to be my first wwe show. I was at the TNA house show last year. I can't believe how good the punk stuff has been, real excited to see him in his home town. ?I would love Sheamus to do well. I read this forum ever day so I thought I should finally post!

You're a lucky lad. I think after Mania and the Rumble, MITB is my favourite PPV now.

mniccaba

yeah build up wise I think it's looking great. I just got lucky that I was going to be in Chicago that week but I'm glad it's not Capitol Punishment or something like that!

Stupid that Zeke and Ziggler aren't in either. The two first names in MITB should always be the US and Intercontinental Champion. The fact that jobber Bourne and Slater and Gabriel are in ahead of them is ridiculous.

Yes I thought maybe Zeke, Khali or Jinder Mahal or Ted Jnr would be in before Slater and Gabriel

But then if they were in the MITB, certain people would be complaining that the US & IC Titles are being defended on the PPV

It would make more sense for them to have them defend their titles on the PPV anyway!

Who are they going to defend them against?

Zeke has been feuding with Wade and Ziggler with Kofi and both Wade and Kofi are in the ladder matches unless it be will champ v champ or could Zack Ryder be getting a title push

Ridley

They should just have Ziggler vs Jackson (US champ vs IC champ). Ziggler's a bumping machine and I think he would be able to help Jackson better than Barrett could.

I've no problem with Gabriel and Slater being in there. They will provide a couple of high spots and maybe even get a rub from being in the match. Zeke and Mahal are getting pushed atm so putting them into a match that they are not going to win and will just be one of the crowd does them no favours.

Ridley

Mr. Guappa wrote: »

Neither have I. Having a tag team could make things a little different. Unless they're broken up by then.

Sin Cara's the unreliable element, really. Although for the past couple of weeks I've thought Gabriel's matches haven't been flowing like they used to and Slater's been looking better at getting beaten up.

I reckon if Colt Cabana helped Punk win the title, and the show closed with the duo leaving with the belt, I would literally mark out to death and stop watching WWE, cause I would have witnessed the single greatest moment in pro-wrestling history...
