This is the first WWE PPV I've bought in as long as I can remember. I'm really looking forward to tonight. Also, for those complaining about the $50 - $60 price, the iPPV is $45 and in HD.

Orton probably wins. They REALLY need to end this feud.

You want the feud to be over, but Christian is entitled to a rematch once he loses his title.

Chrisitan has been booked to look so weak, he really needs to win to have any credibility going forward. But yes the feud needs to end one way or the other.

Once that feud ends - who does what?

Orton vs. Henry? Given their current attitudes that looks like the only option. Which means Christian vs. Sheamus?

No he hasn't. He beats everyone on the roster no named Orton. Also, he had plenty of back and forth matches with him. He lost cleanly to him twice, then he got screwed at CP, and won by outsmarting Orton last time. They mention plenty of times that he's a great wrestler that needs to stop whining.

The entire feud has been about Orton having his number. You people act like he's getting buried or something. He's the WHC after all.

Edge interference?

IWC fans don't know the difference between a loss and a burial.

I disagree. HHH basically called him out for being a pussy on Friday. How is that helpful? You can be a shitheel and still look like someone who deserves the belt. The storyline right now is basically "Christian is not a credible champion." Even the Miz had a stronger booking last year with the title, and all he did was beat Lawler and Morrison.

Anyway, I don't really even have a problem with the way he's been booked (I'm not a big Christian guy, never have been), I'm just saying if they want him to be a main eventer and look legitimate, then he really needs to win this match. And then go on to feud with Sheamus or something.

the Christian thing leads me to believe either:

1. HUGE debut/return to help Christian, who retains.
2. Completely random face wrestler helps Christian retain, and turns heel
3. Random heel comes to help Christian, Orton brings out random face because 'he knew'

Edge or Jericho? Undertaker?

Christian is going to win because they were also teasing a fued with Sheamus with him. Somebody is going to help him win my guess is brodus clay or edge.

If they want to bring back full circle Christian will come out to his theme in 2005 and the person that helps him is Tyson Tomko.

Man Christian needs like a bodyguard type manager like Tyson Tomko. He was an awesome heel during that time

Christian gets Jericho to interfere on his behalf, Edge comes out and spears Christian to give Orton the title.

How long is the Cee Lo Green segment supposed to be? 20 minutes?

I don't think Edge can use the spear with his neck issue.

Tomko is the only one who should be pulling heel bodyguard duties for Captain Charisma. NOT Brodus Clay. NOT Mason Ryan. NOT Edge. NOT Jericho.

Give us Tomko or we riot.

I see the more likely scenarios that HHH turns heel and helps John Cena win without Cena knowing. Another scenario could be that CM Punk wins, HHH is pissed that he won, pedigrees him, and then Del Rio runs out to cash in.

I thought it was pretty much 100% that Del Rio is cashing in tonight and reigning during their Mexico stint only to lose it to Cena afterwards.

Either way could work. If the first scenario happens Cena could be pissed that he won unfairly, but then go on to feud with Del Rio over the title over the upcoming months, while HHH feuds with Punk. Or you could extend the Punk/Cena feud another month and do a match inside a steel cage with no interference allowed.

del rio cash in is happening tonight

both men will be down then he'll run down and put himself in the match and walk away with the belt. they are not gonna settle the "undisputed" champ in anyway. if they do it'll kill who ever loses. so cena is obviously not losing it, and i dont think they want to kill punk before mania. cash in keeps both guys from looking weak since its like del rio stole away the belt

then mr. h's can cut a promo on how they fought like girls while del rio is the smart guy and his new corporate champion

HHH costs Punk the match, whether or not its intentional isn't clear. Sets up a fued between Punk and HHH with them eventually facing off at Wrestlemania.

Starting a feud this early? and having punk/hhh at WM? no, it will be at survivor series the latest, HHH will do something at night of champs creating their hatred towards each other into a head on feud at survivor series.

They are gonna do something special with punk at WM, like Austin, a 10 month feud between hhh/punk? isn't going to happen.

They set up the main event to the next Wrestlemania a day after the last one ended. It's never too early.

10 months of HHH/Punk would not be surprising at all. It won't be a constant on for 10 months thing, it'd be more along the lines of Rock / Cena rather than a regular weekly feud.

I don't think you have anything direct between them. Just Punk continually being held back by what HHH does. As it goes on make it more and more clear that this is something HHH is doing intentionally, building Punk's (and the audiences) frustration with him not being able to get ahead. Then build to the match at wrestlemania from there. Not that I would object to a Punk/Austin match at all.

I don't want to get my hopes up, but Christian did say that he had 'the best thing going'. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't apply to Mason Ryan. I'm betting that it's a new hire. Kings of Wrestling did finish up with ROH last night...

For the past week, my local sports radio station has been running Summerslam promotions, saying you'll get to see stars like, "John Cena, Randy Orton, Albert Del Rio, and The Edge."

At first I just laughed at how they called them "Albert Del Rio" and "The Edge," and then I thought, "Hmm...maybe there is something to Edge being mentioned."

Still, I seriously doubt it. I just figure they mentioned Edge because they're badly out of touch.

Edge was supposed to be at the fan fest this year. Mot sure if he showed up though.


Hopefully this is the blow off match though. Orton and Christian have had great matches, but I've lost interest in the feud.
