Is there any way Barrett doesn't capture the strap? As much as Cliff Levingston would love to see Cena out of the WWE for a little bit, no.

Hopefully they don't turn Cena heel here though. There's just no good way to do it. He needs to get out of the Nexus, battle with Barrett for a little while longer, then turn.

It'll be pretty crazy to see Barrett holding the title. Cliff Levingston loved him from the start of NXT but didn't see this much success so quickly. Good stuff.

The only way I could imagine a Cena heel turn is for him to take over Nexus in a "coup" and have them all turn on Barrett. And yes, it's likely still way too soon for something like that...the "Cena vs. himself" struggle has to go on a bit longer first.

Yea, as said, that makes no sense and completely obliterates Barrett's credibility up to this point. There's just no way to pull off a good Cena heel turn in the near future, because if they're going to turn him, you know it's going to be huge.

They really can't afford turning him at this point. Raw is incredibly devoid of faces right now. After Cena and Orton, you have to travel a long ways down the roster to find another face.
(F) Cena
(F) Orton
(H) Barrett
(H) Sheamus
(H) Miz
(H) Punk
(F) Morrison

If Cena turns heel, he obviously wouldn't battle against a heel Barrett. That leaves Orton, which we've seen quite a few times already. Sheamus takes Morrison and Barrett/Miz do nothing.

Glad Kane is getting the push he's deserved for the past like 10 years. But WWE had buried him so bad in the past, where its hard to take his as serious of a champ.

Kane needs to be killed off and then return with the mask. If he still refuses to do it, he can **** off and go somewhere else. His character has beens hit since he took that mask off.

Lets bump this!

Barrett
Edge
Morrison
Kaval
Slater & Gabriel
LayCool
Team Del Rio

(c)Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett

Obviously the safe bet is with Barrett, but who knows. Maybe Cena is going to be taking some time off, and he's just kept it away from the IWC.

(c)Kane vs. Edge

Again, . I don't care at all about this match, which is pretty weak considering it's for the heavyweight championship. I'm going with Edge because I can't see this Kane push lasting much longer. It was built for Taker, and now he's gone.

John Morrison vs. Sheamus

I think they'll put over the monster.

(c)Dolph Ziggler vs. Kaval

You had to figure they weren't going to use Kaval in any sort of major title match. Pretty weak if you ask me, but I'm glad Kaval got over the losing streak and gets a match at a ppv. Go Kaval!

(c)The Nexus (Heath Slater/Justin Gabriel) vs. Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov

Nexus needs more time with the belts. To have them win it, only to lose it on the night Barrett wins his title doesn't make a ton of sense. Whoever said the title should defended under freebird rules is dead on.

Team Mysterio vs. Team Del Rio

Mysterio+Big Show=win automatically.

(c)Laycool vs. Natalya

Orton (Going against the grain of thought here)
Edge
Sheamus
Ziggler
Nexus
Team Mysterio
Natalya

Danielson should have a match instead of Morrison-Sheamus

I can't wait to sit at home monday morning and watch this on my day off. Of course, with that comes the inevitable of avoiding this forum all night Sunday so that I don't see any spoilers.

Good luck with that lol

Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett
- It will be the Nexus' night. I'll even throw a wild prediction. Miz cashes in his MITB after Barrett wins, but becomes the first ever MITB winner to loose because.........Riley turns his back on Miz and joins the Nexus!!

Kanevs. Edge
- Kane wins this and possibly continuing the feud with Edge.

John Morrison vs. Sheamus
- This will either push Morrison's development further or slow it back down again. Hopefully its the first one.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Kaval
- I wanna say Kaval to have a crazy unification match with him and Bryan. But I don't see him winning back to back and I think its just a filler match. Oh what the hell, lets just go with Kaval.


The Nexus (Heath Slater/Justin Gabriel) vs. Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov
- Nexus all the way!!!

Team Mysterio vs. Team Del Rio
- Team Del Rio...they'll have more to loose if they loose I think.

Laycool vs. Natalya
- Laycool will hold onto it till Beth Phoenix comes back

Barrett wins, Cena takes out Barrett, Miz comes down to take the title.
Kane
Sheamus
Ziggler
Nexus
Team Del Rio
Natalya
Danielson

Can't say I'm a huge fan of this card.

Ah, looks like Danielson-DiBiase is on the card now.

I'm going Danielson.

Daniel Bryan > Ted DiBiase (DiBiase is going down.)

Nexus > Santino/Kozlov (Nexus for sure, can't see an upset win here.)

Team Mysterio > Team Del Rio (Could go either way. Leads to Mysterio/Del Rio 1 on 1 at TLC.)

Kaval > Dolph Ziggler (I'm rooting for Kaval, think he'll take this one).

Natalya > LayCool (Sad to say but this may be the end for LayCool, sort of hope I'm wrong, if I am I hope Beth is back soon to be the one to beat them.)

Morrison > Sheamus (A bit of a toss up I think, it would be a big win for Morrison. Upset of the night.)

Edge > Kane (Edge was great on SD! with Bearer, I think he's got this to be a 10 time champ.)

Wade Barrett > Randy Orton (All Nexus needs now is the US belt to dominate RAW Evolution Style. I'm hoping for a surprise for this one, just with what Cena may do. Still think Barrett's got this. Maybe on the road to a Cena/Orton match at Mania which I'm not against even though they've fought many times, Mania would be a big fight feel. I think Nexus/Cena ends at Rumble, although it would be nice as well to see this story climax at Mania. A few different options there.)

Bryan-Ted on the card?
Gotta go Daniel Bryan.

Lots a matches in this one.

Barrett wins. What a crazy year it's been for him. Wrestling down in fcw what 6 months ago? Now about to be the WWE champion.

Edge takes the title. They'll strip it from Kane now that he doesn't have taker to feud with.

John Morrison over Shaeums. Honestly I don't know for sure, just picking who I'd like to see win

Ziggler over Kaval. I'd love to see Kaval take the title though then at the next ppv they do a a unification match between danielson and kaval.

Nexus over santino and koslov. I guess...

team rey over team del rio

Natalya finally takes the title.

Dibiase over Danielson as my shocker.

A year ago, he wasn't even wrestling in FCW. He was doing commentary. He's improved a ton.

My predictions for tonight:
Barrett
Edge (Kane's gotten stale and with the amount of heels on SD, Edge can have a feud with any of the heels)
Morrison by DQ
Kaval
Nexus in a short squash match
Team Del Rio
Laycool
Bryan
