Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena, WWE Championship Match: I don't know if I can see Cena losing three PPVs in a row. But I also don't know why they'd have ADR win the MITB if they didn't want to keep him as champion for at least a few months, so he retains, maybe by DQ.
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry, World Heavyweight Championship Match: Orton retains, but Henry gets another shot sooner rather than later, and maybe wins it there.
CM Punk vs. Triple H, No Disqualification Match: Triple H wins, as I think it's too early to abandon him as COO.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley, United States Championship Match: Swagger wins, leading to more dissension among the trio of Ziggler/Swagger/Vickie.
Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Divas Championship Match: Beth wins here, as she and Nattie haven't exactly looked great in their feud with Kelly.
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. The Miz & R-Truth, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Faces retain, but barely.
EDIT: Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase, Intercontinental Championship Match: This wasn't added on Smackdown, but WWE.com had it after the show as being added. Rhodes wins.

I'll get in on this, if you don't mind. Been a while since I've played this game.
Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena, WWE Championship Match: Del Rio retains due to the upcoming Mexico tour. Having a Mexican born wrestler for that tour would be a huge benefit for gate attendance. Also, ADR has been punked out by Cena for a month straight so I see him winning some how to keep him credible.
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry, World Heavyweight Championship Match: Orton retains, but Henry gets another shot sooner rather than later, and maybe wins it there. Agreed. To add to this Henry has gotten the best of Orton the past few weeks so I see face Randy getting his payback.
CM Punk vs. Triple H, No Disqualification Match: My gut says HHH wins but to be honest I can see Punk winning with some help from Johnny Ace to further that Angle. Ace and HHH (on-screen) seem to have some problems with each other. So this could be a power play by Johnny for COO. Final Answer, HHH wins.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley, United States Championship Match: I think this is the point where Riley wins so they can elevate him. I also see Swagger/Ziggler costing each other the match to build on the Vicki "love" triangle.
Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Divas Championship Match: After the WWE.com article about the state of the Divas division I think they want to push the divas division in a more serious direction.
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. The Miz & R-Truth, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Fans seem to like Air Boom, but they don't seem to have the chemistry "The Awesome Truth" have. Yea, I just pulled that name out of my ass.
Cody Rhodes vs. Ted Dibiase Jr., WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: There is no way in hell that Dibiase is winning this match.
Cody Rhodes vs. His living room sofa, WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Who the hell is Cody facing for the IC Belt? He just went over Orton so he has been on a bit of a roll. It doesn't make sense to have him be the only champ who isn't defending on a show called Night of Champions. I don't see a match being made at this point so the couch wins.

The Road Runner, Kelly Kelly, Somehow, Someway Escapes Wile E. Coyote Beth Phoenix in the Coyote's home desert of Buffalo and retains the Acme Divas Title. Meep meep.
Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena, WWE Championship Match: Cena wins by DQ, you guys got it.
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry, World Heavyweight Championship Match: New World Champ Mark Henry but under controversial circumstances.
CM Punk vs. Triple H, No Disqualification Match: ??? I don't know where they're going with this story, no idea what they want to do with it.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley, United States Championship Match: Morrison gets the belt, Ziggler can be mad @ Swagger for makin him lose.
Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Divas Championship Match: Kelly is p. hot guys... idk.
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. The Miz & R-Truth, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: MizTruth win it, but AirBoom get a rematch where MizTruth feel they get screwed.
I forget whats even going on with Rhodes... whos he wrestling? W.e Imma say Rhodes wins it.

No! IT's gonna be Rhodes vs surprise opponent; turns out its SIN CARA. Sin Cara wins but then the REAL SIN CARA comes out and points menacingly at FAKE CARA as if to say, "You stole my IC title shot, that belt belongs to ME." And I will mark out very hard.
gee$ was being polite about spoilers but unless they start a new direction this week, Cody's opponent is Ted Jr., the guy he turned on. aka his living room couch BOOM sorry Ted
Beth is challenging for the belt in Buffalo so does she get the Punk booking or the Tyson Kidd booking?

This is really the only thing I'm losing sleep over (not really).
For all the wwe.com-inspired Eve and Bella-angering hoopla and the Divas of Doom's Wrestling Challenge Insert Promos as Powerful as Nyquil about "saving the Divas division from the Barbie [Blank] dolls", Kelly Kelly needs to be awkwardly ambushed from behind for the DOD to ever get anything on her. And like a Skynet learning computer, Kelly has already learned to watch her back and can't be Pearl Harbored again. Kelly Kelly's super strong booking has been the inverse of the Divas of Doom booking. [Divas of Doom: They Sure Beat Up AJ and Kaitlyn Weeks Ago. Also Eve.]
So what shall Creative do? Undercut all the work they did all summer to build up K2 as the smilingest, slyest, most followed on Twitter WWE Divas Champion ever JUST BECAUSE they're in Beth's home town, in order to prove some vague point about the Divas of Doom not being Barbies even though they dress glamorously in evening gowns in their off hours? Or do they humiliate Beth in her hometown? I say humiliate Beth. Go ahead. She can take it.
If you can take losing to Kelly Kelly for the second time on pay per view in your hometown, you must be #pinupstrong.

Del Rio retains, but doesn't necessarily win the match
Orton wins via an out-of-nowhere desperation RKO after getting pounded on for much of the match. Henry destroys him after the match, to boot.
Cody over whomever
Air Boom over Miz/Truth.....possibly in a weird finish so Miz and Truth can keep complaining that they're being conspired against
Kelly over Beth
Riley wins the belt, Vickie hires HIM as a client and Riley gets a much-needed heel turn
Triple H over CM Punk just because this storyline has gone poorly enough for Punk that we might as well add a loss to it

The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone." --- Bart Giamatti, on baseball
WWE champ Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena ADR destroys an arm. Match is stopped by the ref when he determines Cena can no longer compete. Cena gets to wear the DDP Bandages of Bravery as he pursues ADR and fight his way back up the ladder with everyone targeting the arm.
World Heavyweight Champ Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry Orton wins. I don't think Henry can carry the belt without a manager; he's just barely making it through his promos. If Henry had a manager to do the talking, he'd also have the belt.
CM Punk vs. Triple H, No Disqualification Match Punk loses after being destroyed by HHH's OTHER best friend, Batista.
US Champ Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley Omigod, anyone but Riley. Morrison, I guess. Ziggler has no one left to fend off for the belt.
Divas Champ Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix KK loses thanks to a returning Layla.
Undisputed Tag Champs Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. The Miz & R-Truth The Awesome Truth take the belts.

-If Henry is EVER gonna win the belt, it should be now as this is the peak of him being a credible challenger.
-Swagger, Ziggler and Riley all jump Morrison and kick off Vickie's stable. A lot of foreshadowing last night of this with Ross and JR bringing up managers of the past and how they managed more than one guy at a time.
-Punk beats HHH and is teaming up with Vince and Ace. Don't WANT this to happen, but my gut is telling me this. Everything about the angle is saying that HHH is innocent. The reason I think Punk is in on it is what I mentioned a few weeks ago. If they want to do Punk Vs Austin, Punk has to be a heel. And even if they already have Cena Vs. Rock, I think that Austin is keen on doing it, and Punk would be having a dream come true going up against him.

Mightn't it be good for Kelly to lose and chase against a big mean obstacle for poor little nice girl? I think one of the most important things in Trish Stratus making a real connection with the WWE then-iverse was her programs with Jazz and Victoria, where they gave her so much adversity and so many bitch-beatdowns but she never gave up and finally persevered.

Now we are going to outright mimic Punk and Triple H from last night. You have just made the Triple H "you have to impress THEM [The WWE Universe]" argument. Allow me to CM Punkly retort: "Are you listening to them? Kelly Kelly is already over with the WWE Universe!"
Internet fans are, of course, not the WWE Universe.
Five years of getting beaten down has already happened for K2. But she persevered and never gave up already. Now's the time she gets to be on top and enjoy it. Or lose on Sunday. Whichever.

I just keep thinking that bodybuilder crack is supposed to lead somewhere and tease a big guy running interference for HHH. I suppose HHH can sic Punk's NEXT buddy Mason Ryan on him.

I don't know if the five years spent forming a dance troupe, dressing up as hot Santa Claus to get fondled by the troops every December, winning two minute matches against Jillian Hall, mentoring Naomi, and being courted by Drew McIntyre were all that taxing on the young lady.
I think Kelly is well-liked and over for being pretty and nice, but I don't think anyone is that invested in her feuds or her personal journey to be a championship diva. But if there was a true threat to her happy WWE existence like Kharmathe Divas of Doom a better-booked version of the Divas of Doom, I think the Kelicopter fightin' back and standing tall could garner some quality emotion. She'll never be able to work like Trish, but she can always be cute, be little, be sad, and sell sell sell.
I have a very bad feeling about this PPV. Regardless, I'll try and watch from the same spot I watched SummerSlam and hopefully have something for The W Universe once the smoke clears. (EDIT: But there's a 50% chance I'll be catching the Chargers game at a local sports bar and if that happens, all bets are off.) But yeah, the big problem with having a Hell in a Cell PPV coming up in a couple of weeks is that we're going to see A LOT of screwy finishes.
Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena, WWE Championship Match: Neither of the big title matches is going to end clean. This is going to be the match that ends with shenanigans, as Del Rio cheats to win (not CHEATS TO WIN~!, because Del Rio isn't on that cool level yet) to set up the HiaC rematch. (EDIT: Having thought further, IF the Nash firing is a work, this is where he comes back, recalling that he was asked to stick THE WINNER at SummerSlam to get the title on Del Rio. So this would be where Nash sticks Cena.)
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry, World Heavyweight Championship Match: This title match is going to end in a DQ. Orton wins by DQ when Henry whacks him with a chair and then Henry gives him a major league post-match beatdown to set up the HiaC rematch.
CM Punk vs. Triple H, No Disqualification Match: This is the hardest call of the night, as seems to be the trend with Punk matches these days. It's really tempting to say they're aborting the Triple H COO angle. And I still (to my discredit) can't figure out whether the Nash release is a work or not. Either way, this finish has "clusterfuck" written all over it. We get a run-in from Nash/Laurinaitis/Stephanie (take your fucking pick) and Hunter wins to keep the party going until HiaC.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley, United States Championship Match: What a hastily booked match, and all for the sake of salvaging the PPV's gimmick. Swagger wins the title by pinning Riley or Morrison to set up the inevitable clash with Ziggler.
Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Divas Championship Match: John Orquiola makes a good point about Kelly's progression throughout the summer, even if it hasn't necessarily improved her as a worker. Between that and the fact that the E doesn't like letting anyone win in their hometown, I'm picking Kelly. But she's going to get some major heel heat along the way.
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. The Miz & R-Truth, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: Two main event guys like Miz and Truth shouldn't have any trouble with low-level guys like Kingston and Bourne. Plus, the E would love to have Miz and Truth on both shows. Heels win the titles.
Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase, WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Way too early to take the belt off Cody and Ted hasn't done jack. Cody wins.
Alex Riley- He's not as hot as he once was so they really need to have Swags cause Ziggles the loss and A-Ri leaves the champ. Everyone else can handle a loss much better, and he's the one that needs the belt.
Since Air BOOM is such a stupid name, I'll say "Jamaican Me Bourne to be Wild" wins.
Newly Re-Dashing Cody (who has been fucking awesome lately) beats whoever the fuck. I'm guessing somehow he'll face Orton again as that's the trend.
Originally posted by Big BadRiley wins the belt, Vickie hires HIM as a client and Riley gets a much-needed heel turn
I love this prediction. Plus, it can turn Dolph face down the line as he fights to get Vickie back from Riley.
So Big Bad has convinced me, Riley wins the 4 way.
Cena over ADR via DQ Orton over Henry Paul over Phil Air Boom over Miz/Truth Beth over Kelly Kelly Cody over Ted Jr., or anyone else for that matter.

Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena, WWE Championship Match: I see Del Rio more in the middle of the card. He doesn't seem to have enough of a persona other than I'm rich and he's not that great on the stick. I did hear a rumor that WWE wanted him as champ for a tour of South America, so I think he retains here with some help from Ricardo.
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry, World Heavyweight Championship Match: Just another stepping stone for Mr. Orton here. Mark Henry will get one more shot after he comes out and beats the living hell out of Orton on Smackdown next week.
CM Punk vs. Triple H, No Disqualification Match: Nash comes out and sticks HHH. The alliance of Punk, Nash and Acehouser is revealed...I throw up a little in my mouth.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Jack Swagger vs. John Morrison vs. Alex Riley, United States Championship Match: Vickie picks Swagger as her main man helping him take the strap.
Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix, Divas Championship Match:
Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne vs. The Miz & R-Truth, WWE Tag Team Championship Match: More conspiracies abound after this match.
