This pay per view is interesting because the few matches they’ve announced seem REALLY obvious. I know as a super fan of wrestling it’s easy to say how predictable things are in the WWE these days. I have a hard time thinking that they’ll just go the completely obvious route. They HAS to be a change-up thrown at us…. Right? …. Right?.... Shit.
I went 1-3 for the four predictions I made for Royal Rumble 2013. The only match I got right was picking Alberto Del Rio to retain his belt. Now for this show, he’s defending the belt against the Big Show AGAIN. It doesn’t have any special stipulations at all, which makes it weird. They had a Last Man Standing match last month and now they follow up with a normal match? Seems a little backwards. I want to pick Alberto Del Rio, but I have a feeling that his title run is going to end sooner than later. Because of this, I’m going to go with Big Show to win. Then there’s a chance Dolph Ziggler will cash-in, but I don’t want to hold my breath about it anymore. I keep thinking… and hoping… that it’ll happen, but noooo! Hopefully this time I’m duped and caught off guard.
I think it’s safe to say that John Cena is going to need all the push he can get going into WrestleMania. There might be some shenanigans like Ryback and Sheamus getting into it, leading to them having a random match at Mania but I doubt it. I’m going to say that Ryback, John Cena, and Sheamus will defeat The Shield.
The Elimination Chamber match for the World Title shot is kind of lame. Jack Swagger will not win this. Kane and Daniel Bryan will eliminate each other. Chris Jericho seems to be potentially gearing up for a match with Dolph Ziggler at Mania. This leaves Mark Henry and Randy Orton for the logical picks. Mark Henry is fresh off a return and despite there being plenty of supporters for him I don’t think the company will put him in a WrestleMania title match. This leaves me to pick Randy Orton for the win.
In the main event is The Rock defending his newly won WWE Title against CM Punk. I think everyone expects The Rock to get the easy win leading into the match with Cena at WrestleMania 29. It all just seems too obvious. I think we’re in for a curve ball. I think by hook or crook that CM Punk will get the win. The next step would be to “rectify” the situation by putting The Rock into the match at WrestleMania as well. This all leads to a Three Way at WrestleMania…. I guess.
Tune in next week to see how wrong I was! (hopefully)
