Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio in a Ladder Match for the vacant world heavyweight title: This is the most compelling match on the card and it very well could be the show-stealer. Regardless of who wins, someone will become a world champion for the first time. The word for months has been that Del Rio was getting a run with the title, and my first thought was that he would win this match even though it would mean that Raw has both world titles. In thinking about it some more, however, I’ve changed my mind. My guess is that Christian – the sentimental favorite and perhaps the most underrated performer in the business – finally wins the big one in WWE and goes on to have a brief title reign.

Randy Orton vs. CM Punk in a Last Man Standing Match: This has been a pretty lopsided feud in favor of Orton. I don’t think tonight’s match will be any different, especially with Orton becoming the top guy on Smackdown and Punk reportedly considering leaving WWE when his contract expires in a few months. The only way I could see Punk winning is if someone from Smackdown interferes and costs Orton the match to set up a new program. A frustrated Ted DiBiase Jr. looking to make a statement against his former Legacy associate perhaps? Nah, probably not.

Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes in a Falls Count Anywhere Match: With Mysterio having been drafted to Raw, this will be the blow-off to the feud. Rhodes is on the rise and needs the win a lot more than Mysterio, so I expect the former “dashing one” to prevail.

Michael Cole and Jack Swagger vs. Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross in a Country Whipping Match: All signs point to Swagger turning on Cole, resulting in Lawler and Ross going over and Cole finally getting his comeuppance. My guess is that J.R. scores the winning pinfall.

Layla vs. Michelle McCool in a No-Disqualification, No-Countout Loser Leaves WWE Match: This figures to be a lot different than your typical four-minute Divas pay-per-view Divas because of the no-DQ, no-countout stips as well as the fact that both women are better-than-average workers. The speculation is that McCool is stepping away from the business for a while, so it seems like a pretty safe bet that Layla will be victorious.

Note: There is talk that a match pitting U.S. champion Sheamus against Kofi Kingston will be added to the show. It also wouldn’t surprise me if it was Intercontinental champion Wade Barrett against Kingston. With both Sheamus and Barrett currently on Smackdown, it would make sense for Kingston to beat one of them for the title and bring the belt to Raw.
