I know it is only Wednesday, but I am going to be out of town from Thursday through Sunday so I decided that If I didn't do my predictions tonight then I would be unable to do them.
Disclaimer: Only 5 matches are currently announced. I am only going to predict the 5 that are currently on the card. If any other matches are announced on Friday, I will not be predicting them.
PRE-SHOW - WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - Kofi and Truth v Hunico and Camacho
This should actually be a pretty decent Pre-Show match. For the sake of the match I hope that they allow Kofi and Hunico plenty of time together in the ring. Those two together could put on some good stuff.
I supposed they are just having this match because the Prime Time Players are embroiled in a mini feud with Epico and Primo. That is the only reasoning I can see for it as Hunico and Camacho have done nothing together as a team.
PREDICTION: Kofi Kingston and R-Truth
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP - Sheamus v Alberto Del Rio
I have heard rumbling that the WWE wants to put the strap back in Del Rio by the end of the year. With that being said I do not think now is the time. They have invested a ton in Sheamus, especially after Wrestlemania do to the fact that most of the Universe turned on him after the 18 second D-Bryan debacle.
All in all I see Sheamus retaining a hard hitting match. I look for Del Rio to put up a good fight which will allow him to stay in the title picture a little longer.
PREDICTION: SHEAMUS
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT MITB MATCH
I know a lot of people are down on this match do to the lack of star power, but I am not one of those people. There is a ton of talent in this match and the MITB concept is the perfect platform for a few of the guys (Tyson Kidd and Damien Sandow) to showcase what they can do.
The two favorites heading into the match have to be Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes. I honestly see one of those two winning the match. I see Kidd and Sin Cara putting on a show! Kidd is going to be the stand out of the entire night IMO.
Sandow is going to put his name on the map as a major cog in the future of the WWE. Tensai is the most interesting entrant into the match. I like the dynamic and the big strong man being in this type of match with all the high fliers.
This is the most interesting match of the night and I look for many good things to come out of this match.
PREDICTION: DOLPH ZIGGLER
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT MITB MATCH
I like the dynamic of the former champions being involved in this match. I expect Cena and Jericho to do most of the work.
It would not surprise me if we have a surprise entrant or two into the match. There are a few other former WWE champions out there that could show up and make and Impact.
PREDICTION: JOHN CENA
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP - CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan - in the battle for AJ's heart!
We know what to expect in the ring, EXCELLENCE! The major story here is AJ. Over the last few weeks AJ has became the star of the WWE Championship feud.
I look for AJ to side with her old flame with this entire love triangle being a set up from the start.
PREDICTION: DANIEL BRYAN

No Way Out Results
Well I bit the bullet and ordered the PPV. Not the best the WWE has ever done, but overall I thought it was better than the last PPV. Some decent wrestling across the board. No 5 star matches but a couple of solid showings.
PRE-SHOW MATCH BRODUS CLAY V DAVID OTUNGA
I did not get to see this match so I can't say anything about it other than Brodus picked up the win via CO, per LordsofPain. No surprise here.
Predicted Winner: Brodus Clay Predictions 1-0
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP SHEAMUS V DOLPH ZIGGLER
Very good match overall. This one isn't going be a Meltzer 5 star match, but it delivered. Any match with Ziggler involved is going to be solid. Over the last few months I have been impressed with Sheamus. He is improving at a drastic rate. The Ziggler turn is soon to be in full force, as the crowd was probably 60-40 pro Ziggler. His run with Vickie has ran its course, so it is time to move on to greener pastures for The Show Off. As for the match, Sheamus picked up the win.
Predicted Winner: Sheamus Predictions 2-0
SANTINO MARELLA V RICARDO RODRIGUEZ - TUXEDO MATCH
This match served its purpose, Comedy and time filler. The crowd chanted boring throughout parts of the match, but I honestly was not impressed with the crowd for most of the night. Granted, there was little wrestling involved in this one, but not every match has to be a technical masterpiece. Santino picked up the victory via the foot Cobra.
Predicted Winner; Santino Predictions 3-0
IC TITLE CHRISTIAN V CODY RHODES
IMO Match of the Night. It wont make the list of Match of the Year Candidates, but it was a good "old school" wrestling match. Both guys have good chemistry. Christian continued his hot streak following his return with another victory over Cody. It appears Cody is off to bigger and better things, I see the possibility of a MITB win for Mr Rhodes.
Predicted Winner: Christian Predictions 4-0
PRIMO/EPICO V THE USOS V TYSON KIDD/JUSTIN GABRIEL V PRIME TIME PLAYERS
This turned out to be a very nice showcase for the tag division. It would have been nice to see the Kofi and Truth defend their titles tonight, but with Truths injury them not wrestling was understandable. The PTPers (Titus and Darren Young) ended up winning the match after AW jumped ship and cost Primo and Epico the win. There is a nice little storyline here developing and it was nice to see that they didn't just quit on the whole AW thing.
Predication N/A
DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP LAYLA V BETH PHOENIX
The one positive of this match was that they actually gave the ladies time to have a real match. The downfall was that I though Layla was terrible. She botched a couple of spots and looked sloppy in others. Beth couldn't even carry her through to a good match in this one. Easily the worse match of the night. Layla retained the title.
Predicted Winner: Beth Phoenix Predictions 4-1
SIN CARA V HUNICO
Another non-advertised match. I thought their last match on Smackdown was better than this one. Sin Cara picked up the win, but he got very little offense in. Hunico did most of the damage, but Cara managed to get the win.
Predicted Winner: N/A
WWE CHAMPIONSHIP CM PUNK V KANE V DANIEL BRYAN
First off I want to start by saying that 95% of the time I dislike triple threat matches. This was the 5% that I actually enjoyed one and thought that it worked. All 3 guys worked really well together. Although Kane was perceived as being the weakest link, he has a very good showing. A couple of very enjoyable spots. The ending of the match was also interesting.
If you read my pre-match prediction you know that I predicted Daniel Bryan to win with AJ helping him out. Well I was wrong (I am glad I was wrong). AJ did however factor in to the finish. She ran to the ring and Kane knocked her down. Which allowed Punk to get the win. Kane then carried AJ to the back, while AJ looked back at Punk smiling. I am interested to see where this is going.
I was also surprised the Bryan was nowhere to be found during the finish.
Predicted Winner: Daniel Bryan Predictions 4-2
RYBACK V ROB GRYMES AND DAN DELANEY
Do I honestly need to review this one? We all know what happened. However Ryback did continue to expand his move-set tonight. He hit a splash from the second rope. It is nice to see him slowly expanding things.
I am honestly digging this whole Ryback character. With that said I think it is either time to give him a lower card superstar and not an indy jobber, or FEED HIM THREE!
Prediction: I actually predicted him to show up so I am counting this one. Predictions 5-2
JOHN CENA V BIG SHOW - STEEL CAGE
Not a technical clinic here, but it was a decent main event. I enjoyed all of the victims of the Big Show coming back down and helping out Cena. I loved how Brodus Clay was involved. I am glad that they are furthering this whole Big Show/Brodus angle. A match between the two of them is inevitable, I just hope they build it to a nice PPV payoff.
Cena picked up the win after escaping over the cage before Show could get out of door. Following the match Mr McMahon fired Johnny Ace!
The landscape of Raw and Smackdown is going to change, and I think that is a good thing. Over the past month or so we have had an overload of Big Johnny.
Prediction: John Cena Predictions 6-2
Overall a solid show. Triple H made and appearance and challenged Brock Lesnar to a fight at SummerSlam. We could be on the cusp of seeing some good things heading into the summer.
PREDICTIONS;
Overall I finished 6-2, which I consider a very good showing. I very easily should have been 8-0. I had a feeling Layla was going to retain the Divas title, but I was hoping for a Beth victory.
As far as the WWE Championship match I honestly thought it could go anyway. I did not know what they were planning with the AJ angle and I knew that ultimately she held the cards as to how the match would finish.
So with tonights predictions I move to 23-9 in my WWE PPV prediction on the year!
