WWE Over the Limit preview
Predictions for tonight’s pay-per-view:
WWE champion John Cena vs. The Miz in an I Quit Match: WWE tried hard on Raw Monday to make it seem as if Miz had a trick up his sleeve and could actually win this match, but I’m not buying it. Cena will foil whatever plan Miz has devised and the match will end with Miz saying “I quit.” I do expect the match to be booked in such a way that makes Miz look tough in defeat.
World heavyweight champion Randy Orton vs. Christian: This is perhaps the most compelling contest of the night. Look for a very competitive match, with Orton pulling out the victory in the end. That will further frustrate Christian and push him closer to a heel turn.
Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler in a Kiss My Foot Match: This has to be the night that Cole finally gets his comeuppance, right? I’m curious to see if Jack Swagger plays any part in the finish.
Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth: As a rising heel, R-Truth needs to win this one. Alberto Del Rio is not booked in a match on this show, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he interferes and costs Mysterio the match to continue their rivalry.
WWE tag team champions The Big Show and Kane vs. CM Punk and Mason Ryan: This is an odd matchup, as Big Show and Kane lost a non-title match on TV to The Nexus’ Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga, but it’s Nexus’ Punk and Ryan – who aren’t even a regular tag team – getting the title shot. I have a hunch that Punk and Ryan are going to win the belts.
WWE Intercontinental champion Wade Barrett vs. Ezekiel Jackson: I wouldn’t be shocked if Jackson won the title tonight, but I have a feeling that the other Corre members are going to interfere, causing Jackson to win the match by disqualification but not the title.
WWE Divas champion Brie Bella vs. Kelly Kelly: It seems pretty obvious that Kharma is going to make her presence known in this match. My guess is that Kelly Kelly wins the title and then is confronted by Kharma.
Sin Cara vs. Chavo Guerrero: This is clearly a showcase match for Cara, and Guerrero is the perfect opponent for him. I expect this to open the show and get things off to a flying start.
Comments
I love that Sin Cara hasn't even shown a fraction of his move set. (put in "la mistica" in you tube for a jaw dropper).
I am a huge mark for The Miz, and don't see him winning, but would love him to. I am interested in what the "new" way to win the match could be? I'd love for it to be like Rock/mankind at the rumble a decade ago, or like the corporation did to HHH by threatning a friend (Chyna in that case). But I've got a sinking feeling Mr. Mizanin is going to say I quit to Super Cena.

I keep hoping that they'll pull a swerve and Miz will actually win due to how obvious the booking appears.
I'd also rather have seen a nice face run with the title for Christian with Orton going heel. Orton and Cena are far to boring and predictable imo and could use some change, though we know that will never happen.

Way to go Sin Cara! The lights were a bit weird though and Sin Cara didn't get too many minutes to show what he can really do.

How long has it been since Chavo has been on a ppv?

Hey Kev. Just nitpicking here but calling Sin Cara just Cara is literally like calling someone named No Face just Face. It just seems really weird, but that's just me. Anyways keep up the good work. Greetings from Mexico.

"I do expect the match to be booked in such a way that makes Miz look tough in defeat."
Wishful thinking. Cena got punished for about 20 min. by two men, then he takes out Riley with the AA and the Miz immediately taps out. SuperCena all over again. I at least hope Cena will sell the beatdown at RAW.
