WWE Bragging Rights preview
Predictions for tonight’s WWE pay-per-view:
WWE champion Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett: John Cena, who will be in Barrett’s corner, helping Barrett win the title seems too obvious. My guess is that Cena’s interference backfires, allowing Orton to retain the championship and escalating the tension between Cena and Barrett.
World heavyweight champion Kane vs. The Undertaker in a Buried Alive match: With The Undertaker having lost to Kane on the past two pay-per-views, I have to believe that this is the night he finally regains the title.
Team Raw (The Miz, Ezekiel Jackson, Santino Marella, John Morrison, CM Punk, R-Truth and Sheamus) vs. Team Smackdown (The Big Show, Alberto Del Rio, Edge, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio, Tyler Reks and Jack Swagger) in an elimination match: Team Smackdown has the stronger team on paper and has consistently gotten the better of the Raw squad on TV. So you know what that means – Team Raw is going to win.
U.S. champion Daniel Bryan vs. Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler: Neither title is on the line in this match, which will probably open the show and has the potential to be very good. This one could really go either way, but my guess is that the tension between Vickie Guerrero and Kaitlyn proves to be a distraction for Ziggler and costs him the match.
WWE co-Divas champion Layla vs. Natalya: WWE has done a nice job of making Natalya look strong heading into this match, which probably means that she’s losing here. While I wouldn’t be shocked if Layla lost the title, thus leading to a feud between her and Michelle McCool, I don’t think WWE is going to break up LayCool just yet. Layla retains, thanks to McCool’s interference.

Hey Kev on an unrelated note I watched Lesnar get smashed last night and saw this clip on the internet with the Undertaker. Any idea why they hate each other so much?

We established on last Monday's Raw that Bryan is a ladies' man (if just barely), so perhaps this would lead to a love rectangle between Bryan, Ziggler, Kaitlyn, and Guerrero, and subsequently to the first-ever mixed fatal four-way submissions match at Survivor Series. I'm starting to sound like Vince Russo...

Promo material for the upcoming UK tour has a main event of Kane/Taker/Big Show for the title, so I don't think this is going to be a blow-off. Which means it makes sense for Kane to go over again. Although, I'm not sure they use sense in Conneticut at the moment.

Hey Kev, do you think there will be any matches added to the show late? Card seems pretty empty.

Hopefully the Orton/Barrett finish is better than the Royal Rumble 2009 match between John Cena and JBL when Shawn Michaels (in the same predicamnet then as John Cena is in now) struck both men with a chair.
After last night's UFC event, you have to wonder where Brock Lesnar will be tonight. ;-) Maybe Josh Matthews can interview him after the event.
