So we've got the double main event of Cena-Bryan and Punk-Lesnar. Matches that are unconfirmed but will likely occur are Henry and the Usos vs The Shield, Ziggler-Langston and Sandow-Rhodes.

Probably another 2-3 matches plus a pre-show match. Kane is returning next week and I'm guessing he'll have a singles match against Bray Wyatt. My guess is Christian will face Curtis Axel on the pre-show. With them taping Raw tonight, it doesn't seem like Big Show will be back in time for the PPV. So you've got 4 guys, RVD, Sheamus, Ryback and ADR and you'll get 1-2 matches out of some combination of those 4.

Should be interesting to see who they throw at ADR. Could totally see it being RVD because of the huge response he's got since his return.

RVD is the best option because its a completely fresh matchup and there really aren't many other options. Re-hashing the Sheamus feud or a face Big Show seem like the only others. I still think they should've had Sandow cash in right away because Sandow-Rhodes is better than whatever the hell match ADR is in.

I'm probably going to. I usually only buy Mania but these 2 matches are already enough for me to strongly consider buying this one too. People talk **** about Cena's matches being boring, but when he's worked with legitimate dudes (Punk, HBK, Edge, Lesnar) he has put on some damn good performances. I fully expect him and Dat Boy D-Bry to put on one helluva match.

That is a terrible PPV poster.

Bryan over Cena and then Orton cashes it the MITB briefcase would be awesome. Doubt they go that way though.

I don't understand why so many people want Orton to cash in on DB. I mean don't we want DB to have a title reign?

I certainly don't want it to happen, my dream would be Bryan retains, I just think it's likely.

I'd love for Bryan to have a Punk-like title reign but if Orton cashes in on him right away and it leads to a good feud between the two with the belt switching back and forth that would be just as good, as long as Bryan stays in the main event picture.

Orton is just extremely boring to me, more so than Cena. I don't want DB to be stuck in a program with Orton constantly doing that weird slobbery deep breath thing that he does.

Orton cashing it on the the biggest babyface in the company right now would draw some huge heat his way. Best way to turn him heel IMO.

But why is it that necessary to turn Orton?

It isn't really but just imagine the heat Orton would get for doing it. It's only my opinion anyway.

I'd like to see Orton cash it in and loose to Bryan, I think that would solidify DB as the guy in the WWE. Orton could then snap after loosing, turn heel, then just going on a brutal ass-kicking spree.

For being WWE's second biggest PPV of the year, I wish they included an annual match to showcase the younger talent like an 8-man Hell In A Cell or TLC match.

I'd like to see that too but I think they are going the Jeff Hardy route with DB.
