John Cena vs. Mark Henry, WWE Championship Match: Cena wins, moves on to Daniel Bryan at Summerslam. Hopefully they can find something worthwhile for Henry to do given his recent performances.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler, World Heavyweight Championship Match: Ziggler wins the title to help spur his face run.
WWE Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Kane, Randy Orton, C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, Christian, Sheamus, Rob Van Dam: Bryan has gotten two big wins lately...do they have him win and cash in at Summerslam against Cena? I'll go with Bryan here.
World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Fandango, Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro: This is a tough one. I really want to say Ambrose, and then he holds it for a while. But Barrett is up there, too. I'll go Ambrose anyway.
Curtis Axel vs. The Miz, Intercontinental Championship Match: Axel wins and retains.
A.J. Lee vs. Kaitlyn, Divas Championship Match: I could see A.J. losing to Kaitlyn and going crazy(ier) when Ziggler wins the title and she's no longer champ. But I think she'll win and retain.
Chris Jericho vs. Ryback: Ryback wins on Jericho's way out, though I'm not really sure what they're doing with Ryback lately.

Ziggler beats Del Rio, but we continue the string of frustratingly-short Ziggler title reigns as Ambrose immediately cashes in and wins the belt
AJ beats Kaitlyn
Bryan wins the WWE title briefcase, teases cashing in against Cena after the main event but instead just challenges him for Summerslam.
BONUS PREDICTION: Since Kane was taken out by the Wyatt Family, he's replaced in the MITB match by....Brock Lesnar. Brock and Punk fight to the back, essentially taking both men out of the match.

Just walked in from a long night. Ok, let's have some fun with this!
WWE Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Kane, Randy Orton, C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, Christian, Sheamus, Rob Van Dam: Bryan wins here and cashes in later in the night.
World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Fandango, Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro: The easy call is Ambrose, who would constantly lurk in the shadows with his trusty briefcase. But I want to go all-in and take a major shot in the dark and say that Cody Rhodes wins, to set up a little something fun later on.
Curtis Axel vs. The Miz, Intercontinental Championship Match: Can't go against Axel here. He retains.
A.J. Lee vs. Kaitlyn, Divas Championship Match: Kaitlyn gets the title back here, setting up a feud with the Bellas that NOBODY wants to see!
Chris Jericho vs. Ryback: They're REALLY soured on Ryback and I can't imagine that changes here. Jericho wins clean.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler, World Heavyweight Championship Match: Ziggler wins the title back after AJ and Langston-ference. Post-match, Langston and AJ both turn on Ziggler, setting up a Cody Rhodes cash-in.
John Cena vs. Mark Henry, WWE Championship Match: Cena/Bryan at Summerslam seems all but set...but how do we know it won't be the rematch? Cena narrowly beats Henry with a roll-up. Henry obliterates him post-match, leading to Bryan cashing in and winning the title.
I'm kind of stunned everyone's picking a Ziggler win. Not going to happen.
Cena beats Henry. Bryan wins the briefcase Del Rio beats Ziggler after AJ/Big E shenanigans Cody wins the SmackDown case AJ retains the women's belt Axel beats Miz Ryback knocks off Jericho, with Vicki as his new mouthpiece
Cena over Henry ADR over Ziggler Bryan wins the WWE Briefcase Sandow wins the World Briefcase Axel over Miz RyBack over Jericho AJ over Kaitlyn Shield over Usos

John Cena vs. Mark Henry, WWE Championship Match John Cena, who immediately loses it to ...
Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler, World Heavyweight Championship Match Del Rio, helped by his new manager Vickie Guerrero.
WWE Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Kane, Randy Orton, C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, Christian, Sheamus, Rob Van Dam Randy Orton because he's lost to Punk and Bryan on consecutive RAWs. He then cashes in on Cena.
World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Fandango, Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro Cody Rhodes, who also loses his way into the title shot.
Curtis Axel vs. The Miz, Intercontinental Championship Match Axel
A.J. Lee vs. Kaitlyn, Divas Championship Match A.J.
Chris Jericho vs. Ryback Ryback needs this win. A lot.
The Shield beats the Usos beforehand.
"To be the man, you gotta beat demands." -- The Lovely Mrs. Tracker
Preshow: The Shield beat the Usos. Ryback wins because he really really needs it. AJ by DQ so the feud continues. Axel wins and retains. WHT MitB: Ambrose wins after some Shield-ference. WWET MitB: The Daniel Bryan megapush continues. WHT: Del Rio wins, perhaps because AJ/Big E accidentally costs Dolph. WWET: John Cena wins. I don't think anyone cashes in on him yet.
I'm guessing there is a Wyatt Family appearance of some sort. Maybe Bray replaces Kane in the MitB, but he's not at all-star level yet, so maybe they're a peripheral presence at the show. If they go the Kane injury way, then the only real name they have who can fill in is Big Show, and I'm not sure if he's completely recovered.
JERICHO v RYBACK Winner: Ryback But my guess wasn't as set in stone as I think it could have been.
ALL STAR MONEY IN THE BANK Winner: Daniel Bryan
JUNIOR VARSITY MONEY IN THE BANK Winner: Barrett This was really, really tough to call. I could see a case made for Ambrose (but too obvious), Sandow (but not high profile enough), Rhodes (but not hot enough right now), and even Fandango (for the swerve). In the end, I went with the one they've been rumored to want to push for some time, regardless of the fact that he's cold as these days.
ALBERTO DEL RIO v DOLPH ZIGGLER Winner: Del Rio
JOHN CENA v MARK HENRY Winner: Mark Henry
... which leads to my bonus prediction ...
MARK HENRY v DANIEL BRYAN Winner: Daniel Bryan, in 18 seconds
John Cena vs. Mark Henry, WWE Championship Match: John Cena, but Henry still looks strong somehow. Possibly a less-than-definitive outcome since Henry's been doing so well. I could see them making SummerSlam a Triple Threat match, even though Cena-Bryan looks stronger as a standalone. WINNER: Cena
Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler, World Heavyweight Championship Match: Del Rio just won it back, and now he's freshened up his gimmick a little bit without Ricardo. I think Ziggler wins it back no earlier than SummerSlam. WINNER: Ziggler by DQ.
WWE Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Kane, Randy Orton, C.M. Punk, Daniel Bryan, Christian, Sheamus, Rob Van Dam: Looking at this match, I feel like they placed some pretty good red herrings. Conventional wisdom says Bryan wins, even though he went over pretty well on the go-home RAW. Still, I wouldn't put it past WWE to give it to Sheamus or Orton in a swerve to give them something to do. Bryan can still get a shot at SummerSlam regardless. After all, all Henry had to do to get his shot was power slam Cena. Eh, screw it. Even though I think Orton has a very good shot after all the jobs he's been doing, I'll call Bryan winning. WINNER: Bryan
World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match, featuring Wade Barrett, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Fandango, Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro: I really, really want to see Cody Rhodes have a breakout win here, but Barrett's really the strongest contender in this match. Cesaro would be great to please the smart fans, too. I'm calling Barrett, the only currently plausible world title contender. WINNER: Barrett
Curtis Axel vs. The Miz, Intercontinental Championship Match: Axel.
A.J. Lee vs. Kaitlyn, Divas Championship Match: AJ wins.
Chris Jericho vs. Ryback: Ryback wins definitively.
