WWE TLC preview

Predictions for tonight’s WWE pay-per-view:

WWE champion The Miz vs. Randy Orton in a tables match: There’s no way The Miz is losing the title this soon. Someway, somehow Orton is going through a table. Perhaps Alex Riley will interfere, or better yet, maybe commentator CM Punk will leave the announce table and cost Orton the match. Remember, on last week’s Raw, Punk said that he holds grudges and has a long memory. Two years ago, Orton punted Punk in the head backstage before Punk’s world heavyweight title defense, causing Punk to lose the championship because he was unable to defend it.

World heavyweight champion Kane vs. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Alberto Del Rio in a TLC match: Taking the title off Kane is overdue, and I don’t see Mysterio getting the championship back at this point. So that leaves either Edge or Del Rio. Since the TLC match is Edge’s specialty, I think he’ll win. Del Rio is destined to be a world champion, but it’s a little too soon.

Wade Barrett vs. John Cena in a chairs match: The idea for this match was Barrett’s, so you figure he must have a plan. However, my guess is that Cena foils Barrett’s plan and gets the win. I wouldn’t be surprised if David Otunga got involved in some form.

Intercontinental champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Jack Swagger in a ladder match: This could be the show-stealer. I could see any of these guys winning, but my gut says the belt is staying on Ziggler.

John Morrison vs. Sheamus in a ladder match: The winner of this match becomes the No. 1 contender for the WWE title. I expect Morrison to prevail and then move on to face his former tag team partner The Miz for the belt.

Lay-Cool vs. Natalya and Beth Phoenix in a tables match: This could go either way depending on where WWE wants to take the story line. I’m guessing that Natalya and Phoenix go over.

I love to watch that the age of orton goes to 2011.

good bye awrsome!

" Time to play The Game! " The King of Kings will cost King Sheamus a shot at the WWE Championship tonight. Book it!

Let's also not discount the possibility that Michael Cole could cost Orton the match in retaliation for the RKO he gave Cole a couple of weeks ago. Cole could then be formally named Miz's manager or special advisor.

Natalya and Beth the best of buds in the lead up to Wrestlemania? I don't see that lasting. Would be a good women's match at Wrestlemania. Speaking of best of pals, might we be seeing Otunga and Cena grow respect for one another?

"Del Rio is destined to be a world champion, but it’s a little too soon. "

I thought the same last year regarding Sheamus and we all know how that went.

I hope Otunga does not get involved in Wade and Cena match. Let that punk Wade definds for himself. I believe one good kindness deserves another. Otunga did not get the help of the Nexus last week. He was beat with a chair by Cena. I think Wade deserves this a** whipping on his very own.

Only one comment necessary:

If the Kane / Edge feud continues after tonight and / or if Kane is still champion - I riot.

miz is not awesome his oppurtionist,chicken and a loser.if he wants to be awesome he must face randy orton alone not with his dog riley.randy is the awesome,rko and the champion.you miz oppurtionist.....

you got every single prediction right. amazing!

Wow, you were a perfect 6 for 6. Also, I think this was one of the best pay-per-views that WWE put on all year.
