I really do think HHH is going to do the right thing in this match. It feels sort of like trusting a multiple felon, but yeah.

Lesnar needs some momentum back if they want to job him at WM.

I would agree with this if it was on the regular card, but I don't see why they would put it on the pre-show if they're planning a title change. WWE gonna WWE though so you never know.

I really have no faith in my picks, but here they are:

Brock Lesnar vs. HHH

I see HHH's career winding down, and you have to start building up Lesnar at some point if you want to get full value out of him. I am still wondering exactly what the plan is for Lesnar though (I am taking a leap of faith that there actually IS a plan).

Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship
CM Punk vs. Big Show vs. John Cena

Even I am starting to get fed up with this WWE Championship match on the undercard thing that WWE has become so fond of. I thought the reason was always that Cena was the biggest star in the company...now, he's in the match and it's still playing second fiddle. Anyway, I expect an overbooked mess here with Punk retaining.

Daniel Bryan vs. Kane

A lot of the Bryan marks that I talk to think that Bryan is in the midst of a burial of sorts, but I think it's just fleshing out his character and direction a little more.
Spoiler:
After all, he is the scheduled WWE Championship contender on most of the upcoming RAW house shows.
I think we get a little more aggressive and dangerous version of Bryan starting with this match.

World Heavyweight Championship
Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio

Intercontinental Championship
The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio

Tag Team Championship
Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Prime Time Players

Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler

If Jericho was going to be sticking around I would say he would almost have to win, but he'll be leaving after this match and I've seen some theories that he won't be back until around Wrestlemania. This will probably be the best match on the card and probably outside of Lesnar/HHH the only one I really care to watch.

United States Championship
Santino Marella vs. Antonio Cesaro

And, for matches I don't care to watch...

Heyman did a twitter rant the other day that really sold the match. In the rant he said the there hasn't been one report out yet that's correct about Brock's deal with the WWE and that's the way Brock likes it. It would make zero sense to bring Brock back and job him to the two guys who literally could lose a million matches in a row and still be the two strongest guys in the company (Undertaker is probably stronger than HHH but you get my point).

I'm still trying to make sense of why you think Ziggler would both lose and cash in and win the world title the same night.

It would make sense if he was dropping a midcard belt, or if jobbing was putting over a young guy, but Jericho? What would be the purpose of putting Jericho over in that spot?

I think Jericho's going over but I don't buy this cash-in thing at all.

ADR lost his match to open SS 2011, I don't see why Ziggler can't do the same and still cash-in like ADR did.

ADR being on the losing side of a six-man tag, in which he wasn't the one who got pinned, is not nearly the same thing as losing a one-on-one match.

I don't necessarily think it's good booking but they've done it a lot in the past. They did it with Edge when he cashed in and they did it with ADR when he cashed in. I think by having Ziggler lose it will be more of a surprise to the casual fan when he cashes in.

What about Zigs cashing in earlier, winning the strap, bragging about it backstage, Jericho tells him to put the strap on the line and he'll show Dolph that he CAN win the "big one" and then BOOM! Another world title match, and you let Ziggler go over.

I mean a lot of this depends on Jericho's status, but if he's around to do even one more PPV, they should let this thing play out first. Jericho goes over at SummerSlam, Ziggler goes over at the next show, cash in after that (not necessarily the same night, but maybe).

Don't think they'll blow their load on the Cash-In just yet, especially since Cena wasted his already.

Ehh. Jericho's Rumble win getting switched didn't really even require much booking maneuvering since both guys (Jericho and Sheamus) were going to be in the same WM matches anyway. It's very hard to imagine a Big Show title reign would be in the plans here.

What's the point of Punk turning heel if Show wins the belt anyway? Unless they just want to make him another crybaby heel
