Who should win the WWE-title from John Cena?

Money in the bank is closing in. Will Cena retain the title?

When John Cena wins the WWE-title there is always going to be that same question that will go around all over the world. Who should win the title from him? Since 2009 Cena has won the WWE-title 6 times. Every loss has been historical in its own way.

Starting with the two first title-losses for Cena. In 2009 Cena was a hot-running champion who defeated everyone on his path. But then he faced Sheamus at the TLC ppv at the end of 2009. Sheamus made his debut on the main-roster only six months earlier. Even though the ppv was in his own "backyard" in Ireland, nobody believed he could win it. But though to everyone's disbelief, Sheamus managed to send Cena trough a table and secure the title. The win itself became a part of history!

Then in 2010 after Cena was done feuding with Bautista for the title (which he won two times. First at Elimination chamber 2010 and then second at WM26), he went on to face Sheamus again. Once again Cena lost to Sheamus, who secured his second title-run in less than a year. Never before had Cena lost to the same man twice at a ppv in less than a year. In fact to this day Cena has still not scored a win over Sheamus in a singles match at a WWE-ppv. That night will also be remembered because of Nexus's first ppv appearance.

Then skip foreword a year. Once again Cena had the title around his waist. But this time he would face his biggest challenge ever in Cm Punk. Everybody remember Punk's two epic wins over Cena at MITB 2011 and Summerslam 2011, so I will not go in to that in details. But of course this was also two historical losses for Cena.

Cena managed to win back the title only a month later against Alberto Del Rio. But he lost the title only a month later in a triple treat hell in a cell match at HIAC ppv. This was a part of history because of the first triple treat hell in a cell match for the WWE-title.

This was the last time Cena held the title before his current run with WWE. Which brings us to the question: Who should take the title from Cena this time?

We know it will be historical and happen in some "amazing" way. The one who wins the title from Cena this time will probably become a legend. Cena has never been "statistical" better than he is now. He has won over 90% of his matches this year, which is over %10 more than number two on the list.

Anyway here is some proposals to who should defeat John Cena:

1) Daniel Bryan
He is the "hottest" wrestler at the moment. Nobody else deserves a title more than him now. Who knows, he might be the first one to make Cena tap out in his career.

2) Rob Van Dam
Van Dam returns at Money In The Bank. If he wins the ladder match, he will most likely go on to cash it in maybe the same night in front of his "homecrowd" the ECW fans.

3) Mark Henry
If Henry defeats Cena at MITB, he will go down in history as the first "Full-fleshed" black born male to ever win the WWE-title. Though The Rock is partly black, he is not considered to be a "negro", which means he was not considered the first black man to ever win the title. Can Henry make history at MITB? Time will show.

4) Christian
"Captain Charisma" has not many years left in his thank. He won his first major title in 2011. But he has never held the WWE-title. Personally I think he deserves it! He is back from a dreadful shoulder injury, and personally I think he looks better than ever. If Christian wins the title from Cena, it will go down as historical night without a doubt.

5) Bray Wyatt
If you want to make a name for yourself in this business, you have to take out the big fish first. What better way to present yourself for the world by winning the WWE-title shortly after your debut? If this would happen, ratings would have been blowing trough the roof.

WWE has plans for top-star to win the 2014 Royal Rumble match, and then headline WM30!

Royal Rumble is seven months away. But WWE has already started their "long term plans" for Wrestlemania. "The Road To Wrestlemania" starts at Royal Rumble, and the winner of the main event the "royal rumble match", gets to headline Wrestlemania in the main-event for the grand prize (The WWE-title).

Just like last year around this time WWE found out that they wanted a rematch between Rock and Cena. In July of 2012 they had already sorted out that Cena would win the Rumble-match and then go on to face Rock for the title. This year WWE has once again started to discuss who should win the match. Apparently they want to continue their trend with "top-stars" winning the rumble match. But who is the chosen one this time?

After Wrestlemania Cm Punk took a two month "vacation" to heal his wounds and restore some energy. The second biggest star within WWE had been on the road for three and half years without a break. His hardworking will ended up with him getting a lot of minor injuries (he struggled with his knee and back for over a consecutive year). But Punk continued to wrestle day in and day out even though he struggled with a lot of pain. In the fall of 2012, WWE had to manage without John Cena for almost two months. But during Cena's absence Cm Punk filled in for him as the top-star. Ratings went up and PPV buys was increased by 4% at Hell In A Cell. It was at this moment that WWE finally found out how valuable Punk is for the company. Punk was away from TV for a couple of week in December after a short surgery on his knee. During his short two weeks absent the rating dropped a lot from people in the age from 18 to 42 years old (Which is Punk's targeted audience). It was at this moment that WWE told Punk he could get a break after Wrestlemania to heal his injuries.

After Wrestlemania when Punk got his break, WWE witnessed once again that their ratings was falling during his absence. So now WWE has finally decided to treat Punk the same way they treat their top-star John Cena. As I mentioned earlier this months, we could expect Punk to be involved in some high profile feuds when he returned. And this was the case to. His return-match at Payback in front of his home-crowd was against top-star Chris Jericho. And the night after on Raw, Brock Lesnar returned and attacked Punk.

Most likely Punk and Lesnar will headline Summerslam, which is great news for Punk fans. But it doesn't end there, which brings me to the main reason with this article. Punk's dream has always been to headline Wrestlemania, and now it seams that his dream can finally be achieved at Wrestlemania 30 (which is considered to become the biggest Wrestling PPV of all time). If rumors and gossip are true, expect Punk to start building momentum before the Rumble Match next year. Him winning it would surely be good for ratings in Wrestlemania season.

Of course a lot can change from now to then, but finally it seams that WWE sees how valuable Punk is for the business today.

R-Truth's sister passes away after a long struggle with cancer!

The words of Vince McMahon can describe how WWE works: "We are like a huge family. Some like each other, others doesn't! We make it work, and we stick with each other trough good and bad times!"

Apparently this is one of those "bad times". R Truth's sister death has toned down the atmosphere behind the scenes. Superstars and employees within WWE has taken this badly. This describes the "family" WWE really is. They all back up each other, especially in cases like this.

Sad news for R Truth, but good to hear that he is being taken good care of.

Daniel Bryan set to compete for the WWE-title in the near future!

Weather he wins the MITB-match or not, the hotter than ever and huge fan-favorite Daniel Bryan is apparently scheduled for a big push in the near future. How his push will happen we don't know yet, but we do know that it will end up with Bryan moving on to the WWE-title picture once again. Only a year ago at the same PPV that we are heading towards now, Bryan was in a similar situation. He was a hot fan-favorite with his yes-chants, and he had an historic feud with Cm Punk. Their feud ended with two epic PPV-matches for the WWE-title. Bryan "lost" the first match by pinfall, when he had locked in his finishing submission move. Even though Punk won the match, he taped out to Bryan's submission only seconds after the match. This was an excellent move which gave them a reason to go at it again. Their next and final solo-match (before Kane joined the feud) ended the epic feud between the two. Their last bout happened at MITB, which is the same PPV we are heading towards now. This time Punk got a clean pinfall victory after he sent Bryan trough a table with a top-rope suplex. Bryan has not been in the title-picture since that match, so his return to the main-event scene will be fresh and new. Even though he is a former WHC-champion, Bryan has never managed to win the WWE-title so far in his career. But if his fantastical performances continues trough out the summer, a WWE-title win will come sooner rather than latter.

Bryan has a great history at the MITB ppv. He is 1-1 at the PPV, and this is the second time he appears in a MITB match. His first MITB match resulted with Bryan winning the match, which gave him the blue briefcase. He went on to win his first major title later that year.

So if WWE wants to put Bryan in the WWE-title scene, this is the perfect and most symbolic place to start his major push by letting him win another briefcase (this time the wwe-briefcase).

We will come back with more information about the possible direction WWE will take with Daniel Bryan. Return later this week for more news regarding this subject.

WWE's Money In The Bank match-card gives us high expectations!

So we are less than three weeks away from the MITB ppv, which is considered one of the biggest ppv's in the modern era only behind Wrestlemania and Summerslam, but up there in the same range as Royal Rumble and Survivor Series. The event has produced plenty of epic matches and shockers after its debut in 2010. The historic match between John Cena and Cm Pun will never be forgotten, and Daniel Bryan's first MITB win the same year was also a part of the unforgettable history of this PPV. But this years MITB seams to top it all when you look at the match card presented so far. I will give you an analyze of all the confirmed matches, and I will also predict who I think will win each match.


1) World Heavyweight Title (ladder-match)
Participants: Dean Ambrose, Damion Sandow, Cody Rhodes, Fandango, Antonio Cesaro, Jack Swagger and Wade Barrett.

Analyze: 
This match contains rising superstars, but a lot of the participants have been struggling with "directionless" story-lines or non feuds at all. Stars like Barrett, Rhodes, Sandow and Cesaro have lost most of their televised matches the last year. Though Cesaro and Sandow has been given a better push lately securing themselves some victories on Raw or Smackdown. Other stars such as Fandango and Swagger has recently been involved in some great storylines, which gives them a sort of "favorite" marking before heading in to the ppv. Ambrose is a part of The Shield, and if they come out to help him, he should have the odds on his side to.

But the good thing about this match is the fact that we now know one of these rising stars will be given a title-shot for the WHC-title, which is the second biggest title within WWE. The winner of this match will almost certainly secure himself the WHC-title before this ppv airs again in 2014. This is great news for us fans that feels the title-pictures lacks fresh faces. The winner of this match will automatically be inserted in the main-event scene at one point within the next twelve months, and he will be given a great push.

The match itself will probably steal the show. You have great performers that will go all-in in this match, so that they can prove to those in the back that they should be in the main-event scene. A combination of technical wrestlers and powerhouses will make this match look so good. Even though their reputations are not as big as those that will participate in the WWE-ladder match, you can expect this match to end up being "unforgettable".

Prediction:
Personally I love the fact that WWE is finally giving one of these "younger" stars an opportunity to shine in a big-match like this. The winner will be in the main-event picture for the WHC-title at one point within the next year, which is great news! Even though Dean Ambrose most likely are the odds favorite to win this match, considering that his teammates might make an interference, I personally think that Fandango will steal this one. He is a rising star with a growing popularity, and people in the back believes that he can become a huge star in the future. A win for Fandango in this match will prove to us that WWE believes in him.

Winner:
Fandango


2) Chris Jericho vs Ryback (Non-title match)
Analyze:
This match includes two stars that seams to be stuck in the "upper mid-card" for a while. Ryback comes out as the loser after his great feud with Cena. He needs to start regaining some momentum and build some credibility. Chris Jericho is his perfect opponent to help him on his way to redemption. Jericho only has some matches left before he goes on another tour with his band "Fozzy". This means that he gains nothing from this match, other than putting on a great match with a rising star in Ryback.

Prediction:
I think that Jericho will put over one last rising star before he leaves WWE for the rest of the year, moving on to his tour with his band "Fozzy". Ryback has yet to win a big one, and I think that this will be his first "big-win" on a PPV. Ryback has already proved to us that he can deliver great matches, and I think that he and Jericho will deliver a solid match with some great spots in it. This is another match that has the potential to be remembered for a while, if they are given enough time in the spotlight.

Winner:
Ryback


3) The Shield vs The Uso's
Analyze:
The last month the Uso's has been given a great push in the tag-team scene. Clearly WWE needs a face tag-team that can replace "Team Hell No" as the top face tag-team in WWE. The Uso's are fan favorites, and lately they have proven that they deserve to be in the spotlight. The Shield needed to move on to a new feud. The Uso's has been build as a serious treat before this showdown.

Prediction:
This match is very unpredictable if you ask me. The outcome of this match all depends on how Dean Ambrose will do it in his ladder-match. If Ambrose wins the match, The Shield can afford to lose their tag-team titles to a rising team like the Uso's without losing much credibility. But if Ambrose fails to win the ladder-match, The Shield needs can not afford to lose their titles. Personally I do not think that Ambrose will win the ladder-match, so therefore I think that Reigns and Rollins will find a way to hold on to their titles. But I expect this tag-team feud to last for a while, and eventually I think that The Uso's will win the titles. But in this one I have to bet my money on The Shield.

Winner:
The Shield (Reigns and Rollins)


4) World Heavy Weight Title match
Participants: Alberto Del Rio (C) vs Dolph Ziggler

Analyze:
Even though these two has been going at it since February, the recent double turn has managed to make this feud feel fresh and exciting again. Ziggler has been shining as a face these past couple of weeks, but WWE almost made the mistake of including Chris Jericho in this feud. Thankfully they switched the idea in the last second on raw, by putting Jericho in a feud with Ryback. Because a possible Jericho involvement in this fresh feud could have had an bad affect on Ziggler's progress as a face. Ziggler would most likely have been received with mixed reactions again if he where to lock horns with Jericho who is one of the superstars that is most over within the WWE-universe. Thankfully WWE switched their opinion in the last second, giving Ziggler the opportunity to shine as the only face in his feud with Del Rio. Del Rio is better of as a heel. He is a natural heel just like Bob Backlund and Randy Orton are. Del Rio is the best man to help putting Ziggler over with the crowd, considering that he the type of guy fans love to hate.

Prediction:
I expect this match to outmatch the epic bout these two put on at Payback. If WWE truly wants to invest money in Ziggler, the should give him the title right away. If this is the case, we will see a rubber-match between the two at Summerslam. But I have this odd feeling that WWE will wait until Summerslam by putting the title on Ziggler again. Personally I thin he should get it right away, so that he can face Del Rio at Summerslam and then move on to another challenger. But I thin Del Rio will find a way to retain his title in this match, so I will have to go with him on this one. But I also think that Ziggler will get the title back again, so therefore I think he will win this match by count out or DQ.

Winner:
Dolph Ziggler by DQ or Count Out (Del Rio retains the title then)


5) WWE title (Ladder match)
Participants: Rob Van Dam, Daniel Bryan, Kane, Randy Orton, Cm Punk, Sheamus and Christian.

Analyze:
This is without a doubt the most anticipated match of the night. All the top faces are in this match (minus John Cena). But the reason this one is so anticipated is mainly because of the return of Rob Van Dam in front of his "homecrowd" the hardcore Philly-fans. Philly-fans was made famous because of their amazing chanting on the former Paul Heyman show ECW. The top star in ECW was non other than Rob Van Dam. When his theme song hits at MITB, the fans will go nuts. This is the most star-packed ladder-match in the history of WWE. Top stars such as Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus and Cm Punk will compete against each other in something that will end up becoming an instant classic.

Prediction:
This match could take so many turns. In theory RVD is the odds on favorite. He returns after a long absence from the WWE, and his return will be in his "hometown" in front of his biggest fans. Though I do think that this match will include some twists and turns that will affect who wins this one. WWE will go all in with this match, so expect the finish of this one to be epic. I think both Brock Lesnar and The Shield will be involved in this match, which will end up with them taking out some of the top stars such as Cm Punk and Christian.

But if I have to guess, I will have to guess that Daniel Bryan comes out victorious in this one. But that will only happen if someone attacks/takes out RVD (Van Dam) from the spotlight. RVD can then move on to feud with the one who takes him out of the match. If this happens I think Bryan comes out of this match with the win, so that he can move on to challenge John Cena for the WWE-title. But if no one ends up interfering and taking out RVD, there is no doubt in my mind that he will win the briefcase, only to cash it in soon after.

Winner:
RVD or Daniel Bryan


6) WWE Title Match
Participants: John Cena (C) vs Mark Henry

Analyze:
This feud started with a bang. Mark Henry faked a retirement speech, and then took out Cena when he let his guard down. The start of this feud was amazing. Both men are great talkers, and great powerhouse. This will be a battle of the current giants within WWEl

Prediction:
I think that this will end with an upset. If no other matches deliver some upset, this one will. I thin Henry will take the title from Cena, not in a clean way, but somehow. He will hold on to it for less then a week. The winner of the WWE-ladder match will cash it in on Henry before Summerslam. This match has great potentials. Both men have amazing strength, but they are also good at garnishing reactions from the crowd. The Philly crowd is one of the best in the world when it comes to that.

Personally I think Henry will win an upset in this one, only to lose the title rather quickly.

Winner:
Mark Henry (Not a clean win)


Conclusion
Overall I think that this show will be remembered for a long time. The match-card looks so good, and we know that most of the performers in this match can deliver amazing matches. I also think that we will see some great upsets and some shocking spots during this ppv. I also think that this ppv will top the Payback ppv, and that it will include some defining moments such as some big upsets or some fantastical spots.

Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton saved last edition of Raw!

The Raw that aired a week ago was a great success, and I would probably give it an (A-) if I had to grade it. But last night Raw did not manage to live up to the same expectations. A sloppy crowd and to few hot-spot segments made last nights Raw a less than memorable show. Though the one thing that saved this from being graded a (D) was the main event match. Because of this match I would have to grade last nights show with a (C-). The match was simply amazing. Yes there were segments that was good to in this show, such as Cm Punk's promo, but non of the other spots were particular memorable for us fans.

Anyway a decent show was affected by the bad crowd. They never seemed to get in to the "act", which resulted in a lot of segments ending up with a dead crowd. Though the only time they managed to give a good response was in the main event match. Orton and Bryan are two of the hottest faces in this business, they always gets amazing reactions. Put them up against each other, and you will get a hot crowd! These two  even managed to get a great reaction out of this poor crowd. Though it would be wrong of me to only complain about the crowd. Bryan and Orton managed to get a great reaction out of them, so why couldn't anyone else do that?

Personally I think that WWE needs to plan their segments and shows in a more thoroughly way. Because a lot of the segments and spots last night was "time-fillers", which affects the overall quality of the show. Time-fillers usually makes the crowd loses interest to, which affects the atmosphere in a bad way. Last night was an example of that. But the Bryan vs Orton match saved the day though last night!

Personally I think WWE needs to make an effort making their product as good as possible. This will be good for ratings and so on.

Why Dolph Ziggler will be a great success as a face!

Only two weeks ago fans gave Dolph Ziggler a mixed reaction. Hardcore fans, and people like myself always cheered every time Ziggler's theme song would hit, while some of the younger fans would "boo" on him, meaning that his heel-role worked at least on someone. Just like Daniel Bryan and Cm Punk, Dolph Ziggler will always create a mix reaction from the crowd as long as he is a "heel". But that all changed at Payback. Ziggler and Del Rio switched roles in the middle of the match. Del Rio found his old self again, while Ziggler showed a new side of himself. The story-line edition was based on the fact that Ziggler still struggled with his real-life concussion. Del Rio took advantage of this, and would not stop kicking Ziggler in the head until he got the win. Ziggler refused to surrender, every time Del Rio hit him he would not give in. The bravery and heart Ziggler showed made the whole arena go behind him. At the same time Del Rio started to act more and more like a heel, and he stopped caring about the crowd, something a face never does. It all ended with Del Rio managing to score a pin-fall victory on the hurt champion. After the match Del Rio was being booed out of the arena, while Ziggler got a standing ovation from the crowd. This was the start of Ziggler's long waited face-turn. Ziggler has been a fan-favorite within the majority of the crowd for almost two years now, so this has been something a lot of us have been waiting to happen for a long time. Hopefully Orton will get his long-waited heel-turn now, since Ziggler will most likely manage to fill in his spot as a face. But will this be a successful face-run for Ziggler? I think it will, and here is why:

1) His charisma
Unlike any others except Bryan and Cena on his best, Dolph Ziggler has the most electric charisma as a performer. As a heel he managed to utilize his charisma to provoke the most amazing reactions from the crowd. And now as a face, I think he will do the same again, but this he will get an even better reaction back. If you want a hot crowd, you need guys like Ziggler to be out there playing the good guy. He has this amazing connection with the crowd, just like Cm Punk and Daniel Bryan has. When Ziggler plays a good guy, you can bet your as on the fact that fans will fall in love with him, purely because of his great charisma.

2) His underdog look
Ziggler does not look like a frightening heel. He was more the smart and slick kind of heel. But his look and size makes him the perfect kind of underdog. The WWE-universe loves a underdog who manages to overcome the odds. Cm Punk played an underdog as a face in 2011, and he got the whole universe behind him. But Ziggler has the look and abilities to be an underdog. He will most likely play the role as a fighting underdog during his first face-run within the company. His ability to connect with the crowd, and his charisma will make him the perfect underdog that we can get behind and cheer for.

3) His ability to make his opponent look good
Both on the mic and in the ring Ziggler has this amazing ability to make his opponent look so good. His ability to sell his opponent's moves are simply amazing. He could make the "Spanish announce-table" look like a frightening opponent, that is how good he is. As a face and an underdog, you need Ziggler's abilities to make the feud entertaining. Because both on the mic and in the ring Ziggler will make his opponent look as good and frightening as possible. No man within the WWE sells moves and finishers better than Dolph Ziggler. Seth Rollins is the only one that comes near him at this particular ability.

4) His in-ring skills
Ziggler is such a great performer. As a face this is so important, because if you are not a great and creative performer, you will have a hard time getting the fans behind you. The Miz is one example that comes in mind. Even though he has improved a lot lately, during the start of his face-turn, The Miz had problems delivering solid matches, which ended up with the fact that a lot of fans did not get behind him. But Ziggler is one of the best performers within WWE now, and he should have no problem putting up great matches in the start of his face-turn, which means a lot of fans will get behind him.

5) Conclusion
Personally I think Ziggler will be a great successes as a face, and I think he could be a top-guy for WWE if they give him the chance to prove himself in a huge match-up. Time will show how this unexpected turn will evolve, but I am confident that it will be a success.

Is WWE be overdoing "three man teams" and is there a way to make them more valuable/interesting?

I have been noticing lately that WWE has more three man teams then they actually have two man tag teams. There is 3MB, The Shield, and now the Wyatt Family. Also filler ups with mixed tag teams like Khali, Hornswoggle and Natalya are currently in a trio team. In other perspective the only tag-teams left are The Uso's, Primo and Epico (which have been away for a long time) and Tons of Funk. Team Rhodes Scholars has not been utilized in the tag team division for months now. So is WWE overdoing the trio-teams, and how can they use all of the trios in the best possible way?

All those teams I just mentioned above are all different in their own way. But they still have three men in their group (not Khali and Hornswoggle's trio which includes a diva). Personally I really like some of the three men teams/groups like the Shield so readers don't think I don't like three men teams, I just think that WWE should be more worried about bringing in two men tag teams.

It looks like the divas division is starting to head in the right direction, so I don't get why WWE isn't trying to make the tag team division better but that is a hole different article that I will be writing about. Back to the three men groups though.

In the past a three man group was a rare case within WWE/WWF. Those rare cases WWF/WWE decided to present a three man group, they would give them a lot of spotlight and time on the show. And those trios that was debuting never had to share the spotlight with other three man groups. You had trios like "The Free Birds", "NWO" (Was a trio for a while, before more members joined) and recently "Legacy". Non of them had to share the spotlight with other trios.

I was thinking that it would be kind of cool if WWE brought the six man tag titles back. NWA/WCW had them for a few years and I thought it was a very interesting and different championship to win. For it to work though WWE might have to give 3MB a push which shouldn't be hard at all because a lot of fans already like them and think they are very entertaining.

Think about a feud between the Wyatt's and the Shield for the six person tag team titles. That would be an awesome feud in my opinion.

By bringing back the six man tag titles, WWE can make more use of their trios. It would also give the trios a reason to feud with each other to.

For those of you that didn't know about the six man tag team titles and  want to know about them take a look here and learn more about them:

Daniel Bryan scheduled for a big push this summer!

So Daniel Bryan has once again proven that he belongs in the main event scene, and as a top star. Apparently people backstage has have faith in Bryan for a long time now, but they never found a real opening to give him the push back to the main-event scene again. But now after The Shield won the tag-team titles and has become "the top" group in WWE (replacing Bryan and Kane), WWE is confident that the tag-team division does not need "Team Hell No" anymore. This is the main reason why Daniel Bryan is scheduled to get his big push this summer. This is great news for the fans, considering the fact that Bryan is one of the most "loved" wrestlers within the WWE-universe. The main-event scene could use some "new" and fresh faces again to.

But this is not Bryan's first run as a main-event wrestler. After he won his first WHC-title at TLC back in December 2011, Bryan was running hot in the main-event scene trough the end of the August in 2012. He was involved both in the WHC and WWE-title picture, and he was a part of some of the best matches in 2012, including his two epic bouts against Cm Punk at "Over The Limit" and "Money In The Bank". Bryan was indeed the hottest star in wrestling industry during his over eight months long run in the main-event scene. But his popularity did not "sink" after he teamed up with Kane and dominated the tag-team scene for nine months. Team Hell No's run did become stale at the beginning of 2013, and at this point many fans and people in the locker room felt that Bryan's talent was being wasted. This leads us to the present, and now it seams that Bryan finally will be pushed back to the main-event scene where he truly belongs. In fact he is one of the few wrestlers that can actually take over the top-spots from Cm Punk and John Cena. His only "downside" is the fact that he only has a submission move as a finisher. Most top-stars also need a finisher which can end a match with a pinfall victory. Though Bryan has been using his diving head-but for a while, and he as actually won more than 10 matches with this signature move. Time will show if starts using this as his finisher when he gets back to the main event scene again.

Anyway, expect Daniel Bryan to get some big wins or to start a top-feud this summer. Speculation has been going around that he will win the WWE-ladder match at Money In The Bank, and then cash it in on John Cena, so that he and Cena can battle it out for the title.

Are you happy that Daniel Bryan will get another big push this summer? Tell us your opinion in the comment section below.

Who should win the money in the bank briefcases?

We are less than four weeks away from the highly anticipated Money In The Bank ppv. We already know that there will be some high profile matches including John Cena vs Mark Henry, Alberto Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler and maybe Cm Punk vs Brock Lesnar (If that doesn't happen at Summerslam). But this ppv is all about two matches. The Money In The Bank ppv has been helping superstars to go from mid-card players to top-stars. Though last year the ladder match for the WWE briefcase only included high profile wrestlers such as Cena and Big Show. But this year both matches will include  mostly rising stars. But who deserves to win these briefcases that almost guarantees you either the WHC or WWE title. Here is a list of people I think should win these two matches:

The WHC-ladder match

1) Rob Van Dam
Rob Van Dam will do his comeback at MITB. Most likely he will be involved in one of these two matches, and personally I think he should be in the WHC-ladder match. This way he will help giving the WHC-title more credibility if he wins the match. He is a top-star who fans love to watch, and he would be great for the WHC-title even if it is only a short title run.

2) Damion Sandow
He has been in the losing-run for a year, but lately he has stepped up his game and he is currently in a feud with Sheamus. Sandow has great potential, but he needs an opportunity, and this ladder match could give him that opportunity. He has the potential to become a top heel within WWE. He knows how to connect with the crowd, and he is a good performer to. Give him this shot sooner rather than later!

3) A Shield member
One of the shield members could also win this one. It would help elevate the group to the main-event spotlight, which would have been great! And if Ziggler defeats Del Rio, he could move on to feud against The Shield, which would have been awesome!


The WWE-ladder match

1) Ryback
Rumors has gone around that WWE is not done with the Ryback-Cena rivalry. If Ryback wins the briefcase, he will finally get the gold he has been chasing for almost a year now, and he will find his way back to the main-event scene again. Most likely Ryback is the odds favorite to win this match if he competes in it.

2) Daniel Bryan
Bryan has already won a briefcase before. If WWE is serious about giving him a good run this summer, he should compete in the WWE-ladder match, and maybe win it. This way he will climb back up in the main-event scene again where he belongs.

3) Bray Wyatt
What better debut would it have been for The Wyatt's if their leader Bray debuted on this PPV, and won the WWE-ladder match? It would be a historical debut for this trio, and it would give them the chance to shine from the beginning! But most likely this will not happen though, because WWE is known for their safe-bets.

Stephanie Mcmahon is apparently selling off her WWE stocks!

Apparently Stephanie has been selling off some of her WWE stocks. I am not to sure why she is doing it, other than the fact that she is making millions of dollars in profit from it.

In the month of May Stephanie McMahon sold 137,610 shares of WWE stock for around $1.25 million between the dates of May 15th and May 24th. In June so far, she has sold another 140,000 shares for another $1.37 million. Stephanie has 191,945 shares remaining, worth $1,902,175 as of this past weekend.

When we find more on this case,  we will post an update about it, so keep checking out WWE-FanBlog for this and other news.

Any ideas on why Stephanie is selling her stocks? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts on this.

Introducing my top five "underrated" matches the last 3 years!

This is not any usual article that I normally write. But I thought it would be fun to present to you five wrestling-matches that I think was way to underrated. The wrestling community now a days usually write articles where they complain about the business and things like that. So I felt it was about damn time that we look at some of the positive sides with wrestling the past decade. Even though the overall product has been a lot of "ups and downs" for the WWE, you have to give them credit that at the end of the day they always delivers great matches. But some matches does not get appreciated enough if you ask me, so here is my "top five" underrated matches the last 12 years:


5) Cody Rhodes vs Rey Mysterio (Wrestlemania 27)
The build up of this match was good. Both men had a personal history with each other, and they managed to get the best out of it in the build before their match at Wrestlemania 27. This Wrestlemania will be remembered as one of the "baddest" Manias of all time, but I personally felt that this match did not get the appreciation it deserves. It was a solid back and foreword match with a unsuspected ending. Enjoy it here:

4) The Miz vs John Morrison for the WWE-title (On the first raw of 2011)
This match really delivered. John Morrison stole the spotlight with some great performances, but in the end it helped Miz look like a credible champion. This match has some great "spots", including Morrison's dive from the WWE-logo on the stage. Enjoy it here:

3) Cm Punk vs Rey Mysterio (Capitol Punishment 2011)
This was in my opinion the best match these two has had against each other, and they have delivered some great matches. I personally think that this match stole the show at Capitol Punishment, and it was one of the main reasons why Vince finally felled for Cm Punk. This was Cm Punk's last ppv match as a heel, before he started his epic feud with John Cena which made him the star he is today. Enjoy it here:

2) Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan for the WHC-title (Extreme Rules 2012)
This was the rematch between Bryan and Sheamus, after Sheamus defeated Bryan at Wrestlemania in a record breaking 18-seconds long match. This match showed us how great both men are in the ring, and I personally think it was the match of the night. It was a lot of back and foreword action, which in the end resulted with both men looking strong. Enjoy it here:

1) Cm Punk vs Ryback for the WWE-title (At the first Raw of 2013)
This match did not get enough credit if you ask me. Both men put up a tremendous performance, and at one point a lot of us actually believed that Ryback would walk out the arena with the title around his waist. It also helped proving that Ryback belongs in the main-event scene. This match was overshadowed because of the fact that The Rock would return a week later to start his feud with Cm Punk. Enjoy it here:

So this is my personal top five list with underrated matches the last three years. Do you have anyone? Tell us in the comment section below.

Brock Lesnar vs Cm Punk will steal the show this summer!

This Monday on Raw, Brock Lesnar made a shocking return where he attacked his fellow "Paul Heyman guy" Cm Punk. This possible feud has been discussed for a while in the internet-community, mainly because of the value both men has for the promotion of WWE. Both Lesnar and Punk are two top-dogs who draws a lot of fans. Lesnar became a globally known man after he took the UFC with a storm (He was already a big name in the US because of first run with WWE), while Cm Punk became a worldwide hit after his epic feud with John Cena during the summer of 2011. When two top draws faces of for the first time ever, you can bet your ass on the fact that they will draw a lot of fans. This will be the case with Punk and Lesnar. But unlike previous big-matches such as Cena vs Rock 1, Lesnar vs HHH 1 and Hogan vs Andre The Giant, this match will be anticipated mainly because of both men's amazing in-ring quality.

But why do I think that this feud will steal the show this summer? Here is some reasons why:

1) Their promos

Yes, Brock Lesnar is not known to be a talker, but a fighter. This is where Paul Heyman comes in to the picture. He has been the voice of Brock Lesnar during both of his runs with the WWE, but this time his skills will be tested against one of the best talkers in the history of WWE. Lesnar will do the brawling and eye-balling with Cm Punk, while Heyman will do the talking. Heyman and Punk as a team was amazing, but Heyman and Punk against each other will be pure magic. 

Think about it. Both Heyman and Punk have this amazing connection with the crowd, and when both of them are going at it against each other, you can be 100% sure that the fans will love it. Their promos will help build the anticipation of this match to a climax like never before.

2) Their intensity

When Punk goes out in the ring, he has this amazing fire and intensity which makes it all feel so real for the fans. That is the same case with Lesnar and Heyman. Their intensity will make this feel so real and legitimate, that at some point many of us will forget that this is just entertainment. Cena and Rock did it before their first match at Wrestlemania 28, and most likely Punk and Lesnar will do it before their first encounter.

3) Their in-ring abilities

Cm Punk and Brock Lesnar are two of the best performers in this business today. Bot men have two totally different move-sets to, and when combined together, you can be sure that it will be magical! Punk is so good at bringing the best out of his opponent, which will be the case when he faces Lesnar. Brock has not been as good in the ring as he was during his first run with WWE, but that is mainly because he is not a full-time performer anymore. But Punk will make him shine again, just like he does with everyone else. Lesnar will also bring out the best in Punk, because both men are most likely eager to make this a masterpiece.

4) The intriguing story-line

The Paul Heyman vs Cm Punk angle is the main Que for this rivalry. Their great promo skills, will make this feel like a real story. Paul Heyman will betray Cm Punk during this feud, and that is something that will sell most of us fans. Punk will be the underdog who fights of the biggest beast in the industry, and the WWE-universe will be eager to see if Punk can fight of Lesnar and his great manager. 

5) The anticipation

Everyone want's to see this match. The anticipation is so high for it, and if they manage to deliver a great finale product, you can bet your ass of the fact that this feud will steal the show this summer.

Introducing "The Wyatt Family!"

I thought I would write an article about "The Wyatt family", because their debut on the main-roster is happening soon. But not many people knows anything about this strange trio. So let me present some information about this odd trio of superstars.

So let me start off with the members. There is three members in the "Wyatt family". Their leader and founder of the group is Bray Wyatt. His "family" consists of himself, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.

Here is a bit general info about each member of the group:

1. Bray Wyatt
A lot of people might remember Bray from the Nexus when he went by the name of Husky Harris. Bray is the most talented member of this group, and he has already proven how good he is with some amazing matches on NXT against stars such as Chris Jericho and others. Bray might be the most freaky one in this group, but he is the smallest of the trio standing at 6,3ft. He is also known for his excellent promo-skills combined with his talent to connect with the crowd (especially as a heel). Wyatt is the son of Mike Rotunda, who is a former professional wrestler. At the age of 26, people believe Bray Wyatt has all the potential in the world to become a big hit within WWE!

^{2. Luke Harper}
Harper is 33 years old and one half of the NXT tag team champions. He is probably best known from his old Ring Of Honor name Brodie Lee. Harper and Rowan has some of the same qualities both on the mic and in the ring. Harper is a big man standing at 6,5ft tall which makes him the second tallest in the group. 

^{3. Erick Rowan}
Rowan is 31 years old  and the other half of the NXT tag team champions. Rowan is pretty similar to Luke Harper, and both men has some of the same qualities as performers. Rowan is The biggest member of the Wyatt family standing at 6,8ft tall. Rowan has this frightening look and personality, which makes him a perfect part of this weird family.

Debuted	November 7, 2012

General info
<sup>They debuted in NXT on November 7th, 2012. It all started for the Wyatt family when Bray Wyatt showed up on NXT with his new ring name and gimmick on April 22, 2012. He introduced Luke Harper to NXT on November 7, and later added Erick Rowan to the family. Erick and Luke have competed as a tag team in the tournament to determine the first NXT Tag Team Champions, which they won.

They have done pretty good together in NXT, so their debut should be pretty exciting for those who watches NXT and have seen them in action.

WWE is heading in the right direction for the summer of 2013!

Only a week ago, many wrestling fans (including myself) was not happy with the lackluster shows WWE was giving us. But that all changed at Payback and last night's Raw. The bad and predictable promoting WWE was giving us changed in a second, and now the future looks bright. It is clear to say that WWE is going "all out" for this summer. In 2011 they did the same thing with the Cena vs Punk rivalry, and in 2012 they tried to do it again with a Punk-heel turn (though that was not a big successes), and this year they are trying it again! At Payback they did something that has not happened since the attitude-era. They gave us more than three "turns" in one night, which nobody saw coming. Cm Punk went back to his face-character, the one that we all fell in love with back in 2011. Alberto Del Rio found his old self again, while Dolph Ziggler showed a new side of himself. To top that, WWE went "all out" on raw again, producing the best televised show in years (if you ask me). Mark Henry fooled us all with his retirement speech only to take out John Cena, while Brock Lesnar attacked Cm Punk to set up a big summer feud between those two. Christian made his return, while Zeb Colter introduced his newest client in Antonio Cesaro. Kaitlyn and AJ Lee continued their heated rivalry, and Dolph Ziggler made a shocking attack on Alberto Del Rio. All this happened in one night. And to top that, RVD will return at MITB in front of his "homecrowd" the hardcore FCW-fans in Philly. WWE needs to be credited with what they have done over the night. They have managed to make us fans more excited about the summer than we have been in years, which will give the ratings some great boosts. So let me give you a short analyze to why I think that WWE is heading in the right direction this summer:

1) The unpredictability
Sadly enough WWE's promoting the last couple of years has been way to predictable. But now it seams like they are finding back to their old roots, which made WWE the biggest promotion in the wrestling industry. Fans love to watch a show where they don't have a clue about what could happen, just like it used to be back in the attitude-era. This has not been the case in WWE lately though, until Payback and last night's Raw. Finally WWE gives us what we want by bringing in all this unpredictability to their shows. Del Rio did a heel turn only five months after his much talked about face turn, which was not something we were expecting. And Dolph Ziggler did a face turn at the same night, showing his fighting heart, which made us fans love him. Ziggler his now going to play the "underdog" face character, which is the type of character that fans love the most. Cm Punk has played it, so has Daniel Bryan, and both of them are now two of most beloved wrestlers in the world. This is not something you would expect to happen a week ago, which makes it so great.

This summer you can bet your ass on the fact that WWE will continue on giving us unpredictability, because it makes us more excited and it makes the shows so much better. Finally we are getting back to old roots, which is so important to do if you want to make a good show.

2) Top feuds
Cm Punk is now scheduled to face Brock Lesnar, this match will most likely take place at Money In The Bank which is the first of two big PPV's this summer. Mark Henry and John Cena are going at each other in the same PPV, which is also a huge feud. AJ Lee and Kaitlyn has made the divas division relevant again, and they will continue their top feud during this summer, which is good for the divas division. Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler has made the WHC-title relevant again after their amazing showdown at Payback, and most likely these two will continue their refreshing feud during this summer. Vince McMahon and Triple H has started a weird and exciting "corporate" feud against each other, with Stephanie caught in the middle, and most likely this feud will culminate into something big heading in to this summer. Other high profile stars such as Christian and RVD has returned or is returning to the spotlight, which brings in more excitement to the promoting as well. All of these top names will help make this summer feel like we are in the middle of the "road to Wrestlemania", and it will be good for ratings!

3) Rising stars
WWE is known for not doing a good job at developing new stars that could be brought up in the main-event scene. But lately that has not been the case! Dolph Ziggler is finally making a name for himself after the double-turn on Payback, and most likely he will keep rising the ranks within WWE coming this summer. The Shield has been going at it with everyone latley, and they are already being considered as the best trio/group the past 10 years. Antonio Cesaro is now under the wing of Zeb Colter, and most likely he will rise up the ranks this summer and finally make a name for himself. The Wyatt family is scheduled to make their debut this summer, and they will most likely make a huge impact on the show, just like The Shield did when they debuted at Survivor Series in 2012. Paul Heyman's new client Curtis Axel has already made a name for himself after winning the IC-title at Payback. He is caught in the middle of this corporate feud between McMahon and Triple H, so this kid will also be relevant during the summer. Fandango made a huge impact on this show after Wrestlemania, and he is scheduled to return before Money In The Bank. Hopefully he will continue building momentum during this summer.

This is proof that the WWE is heading in the right direction when it comes to developing new talents that can be brought up to the main-event scene. Most likely one or more of these rising stars will make a name for themselves during this summer, as we are going into two huge PPV's.

4) Excitement is back again
If you want to make a good promotion, you have to create excitement for the fans! This is something WWE has managed to do for us the past couple of days! Most of us fans can't wait to see what will happen next, which only two weeks ago was not the case! By making us excited and hungry for more, fans will tune in to watch the shows, which is very good for ratings!

5) Overall analyzes
This summer will be so good! If WWE can keep up with this good writing and promoting, ratings will blow trough the roofs and wrestling will be what everyone talks about again. By giving us a an exciting and unpredictable show, WWE has finally manged to create a good promotion again, and hopefully this will continue trough out the summer! Expect this to be a wild summer WWE fans!!

Is Randy Orton ever going heel again?

Hello there again. This is my first article in along time, so I thought I would write about one of my favorite wrestlers.

Since the beginning of 2012, rumors has been flying around on the internet that Randy would go back to "the dark side". But fast foreword 18 months, and that has yet happened. Many hardcore Orton fans (including myself) has been praying for a heel turn for a long time, but now we have to wander, is Orton ever going rogue again? WWE knows that Orton is the second biggest draw behind Cena in the targeted audience between 5-20 years old fans. Is this the reason they will not let him do a heel turn? Lets go analyze the situation with some notes:

1) Randy has said many of times that he likes playing a heel better and wants to go heel again because he is sick of being a "face" but unfortunately WWE doesn't want to give him what he wants.

2) Lately there has been a lot of faces that has taken a heel turn, but none of them has been Randy Orton. There has been CM Punk (who now is making another turn), Ryback, Alberto Del Rio, and now most likely Daniel Bryan is going rogue to. But why not Orton?

3) But after last night many of us Orton fans got a tiny hope that his long waited heel turn might happen in the near future after all. Last night Cm Punk took a face-turn again after being attacked by Brock Lesnar. Considering the fact that Punk was considered to be WWE's top heel, this means that they would have to replace him with another top-draw. Who could possibly fill that gap again? This is where Orton comes in. Randy Orton was the top heel for WWE for along time. He plays that role so well. He has the moves, the eyes, the look and better mic skills when he is a heel, and personally I think there no better man to replace Cm Punk.


I am a big fan of a heel Orton, but I don't like the the face Orton because he is just stale and boring. I was even trying to get a hashtag "#WeWantHeelOrton" trending and tweeting it to WWE, Triple H, and MR. McMahon. If you want to help out with that just use the hashtag #WeWantHeelOrton. Give an explanation to what you like about Randy being a heel, or just send a simple tweet with the hashtag #WeWantHeelOrton

Breaking down WWE prospect Curtis Axel's potential!

Paul Heyman's newest client is none other than Joe Hennig, son of the late legend Curt Hennig (Known as Mr Perfect). Heyman is known for backing up underrated stars and using his excellent managing skills to help put them over. On his path Heyman has helped stars such as Brock Lesnar, Rob Van Dam, Cm Punk and Big Show both on and off-screen. Just to give you an example of what I am talking about: Heyman is one of few guys within WWE that saw the potential Cm Punk had, and if Heyman hadn't taken him under his wing during his time as "manager" of ECW, Punk would most likely have been fired by WWE back then. But fast foreword seven years, and Cm Punk is the companies second biggest star only behind John Cena. He did pretty much the same thing with Brock Lesnar, only this time he used his excellent promo skills to put him over with the fans. But his newest client is more of a question mark! Only hardcore fans knew who Curtis Axel (Joe Hennig) was before he debuted with his new gimmick. But what does Heyman see in this guy? Let me give you a breakdown of Hennig's potential and grading each breackdown:

1) In-ring abilities
Axel's in ring abilities has yet to be tested after his debut. He has already been in some great matches, but he has yet not been given the chance to show us how great he really is in the ring. His father is known as one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time, which puts a lot of pressure on Axel. As the hardcore wrestling fan that I am, I know a lot about Axel's in-ring abilities. Just to give you an example. The Rock and Brock Lesnar needed a training-partner that could help them before their big matches both at Wrestlemania and their matches before that. Curtis Axel was sent to help them both. But he ended up being more than a training-partner, he ended up being an "instructor" for both of them. Both Rock and Lesnar has praised Axel for the help he gave the during training-camps, even revealing that Axel was learning them a lot new and more modern moves so that they would be improved wrestlers before their matches. It is not many people in the world that can say that they have learned guys like Rock and Lesnar more about in-ring performing than they already knew.

Anyway, Axel has a great form of move-set, which is combined with everything from power-moves to ground-moves and to high risk moves. He has great agility, awareness, orientation and ground-skills which helps making him a pretty much amazing in-ring performer. He has it all in the ring, and he is in his best condition ever. Just like his father, Axel could easily go out there and perform in a high-paced match for 40 minutes straight. Most likely he will be given the opportunity to prove how good he is in the ring in the near future.

Grade
A

2) Charisma
Many people thinks that Axel lacks a lot of charisma. But that is not the case! The only problem now is that his character is supposed to be this "slimy corporate robot kind of guy", which is the main reason he has not been flying around and screaming like a mad man. But he is billed as a tough guy that never backs down from a challenge, but as far as it goes with charisma, he is currently portraying a character that isn't supposed to show any form of emotions. But that will all change down the road, just give it some time.

Grade
C+

3) Crowd connection
Axel had a great connection with the Chicago crowd, but other than that he has a lot to prove on this area. Some superstars such as Cena, Punk, Jericho and Bryan knows how to connect with the crowd, but this is something Axel has not shown us yet. You could blame it on the character he is portraying, but I think that his connection with crowd will be better down the line when we get to know him better.

GradeC-

4) Promo-abilities
Axel is a decent talker, but not a great one! But this is where Paul Heyman comes in and saves the day. Axel has done some talking himself, but usually Heyman is the one that cuts the promos. Not all wrestlers are great at the promo-part, but thankfully that is what managers are for. But don't get me wrong, Axel could easily cut promos by himself, but Heyman is there to make those decent promos into excellent promos, which helps putting him more over with the crowd.

Grade
C

5) Potential
Personally I think that Axel has a great potential. He is already the IC-champion only a month after his debut, and he has a 8-0 winning record so far. This proves to me that WWE also believes in him. Now he needs a decent feud with some high profile star, so that he can prove to us that he has main-event potential. I think if Axel's character gets a little more "freedom", the kid can go out there and show us what a natural talent he is. I think his "corporate wrestler" kind of character is holding him a bit down, but though it is also helping him a lot considering all those wrestlers he has faced after his debut.

If Axel can show more than his "corporate wrestler" side, and find a way to connect with the crowd, he has no limits to how far he can get up the food chain within WWE.

Grade
A-

Analyzing WWE's "high profile stars" summer development!

After last night's epic Payback, which was a Wrestlemania-quality ppv if you ask me (and a many others), what will happen when we head for the two major summer ppv's? We are only less than four weeks away from Money In The Bank, and after last night's big announcement that Rob Van Dam will return, you can safely say that people are eager to see this years edition of MITB. But how does the future look for WWE's high profile stars? It is safe to say that Vince is going all in for a replay of the amazing summer within WWE that they had in 2011, so how can he make this one equally as good? Let's analyze the possible future and summer development for some high profile wrestlers within the WWE and see what I think:


1) Sheamus
The Celtic Warrior has been stuck in the Mid-card for a long time now. Most likely he will not be fighting for any titles this summer, but expect him to either continue his feud with Damion Sandow, or move on to a bigger treat before Summerslam. Many stars wants to see him go face to face with non other than Brock Lesnar, and who knows, maybe that will be the case heading in to Summerslam? Sheamus is still considered to be the third biggest full-time star within WWE, so at one point he will return to the WHC or WWE title picture again.

2) Alberto Del Rio
It is safe to say that Vince truly loves Del Rio, giving the fact that he has held four Heavyweight-titles the past 24 months, which is more title-reigns than Cena and Punk has had combined these two years (Though Punk held the title for 434 days). But last night Del Rio won the title from Dolph Ziggler, in a memorable match which most likely gave us a double turn to. Del Rio found back to his old aggressive self. The rough Chicago crowd turned on Del Rio during the match, when Del Rio would not stop going after Ziggler's already injured head (Ziggler is fully recovered, the concussion is only a story-lined injury now). Anyway Del Rio secured his title, but his character took another turn. But Del Rio has secured himself a title-match at MITB and another one at Summerslam, so it's safe to say that his summer looks bright for him. But personally I think that Del Rio is to stale both as a face and as a heel, and he does not deserve to be in the top-card. But clearly Vince and those in the back loves him a lot!

3) Dolph Ziggler
The "Show Off" had a big fan-base before his first title-defense last night, but after his impressive show of heart last night it is sure to say that even more people fell in love with him. The match started with Del Rio as a face and Ziggler as a heel, but ended with their roles reversed. Del Rio gave Ziggler everything he had, but Ziggler would not stay down. This made Del Rio more and more furious as the match developed, which ended with Del Rio going all out on Ziggler. After a total of 12 different head-kicks and countless different moves, Del Rio managed to score the win by pinfall. But his victory did not fell in good taste with the fans, which ended up with Del Rio being booed out of the arena. Ziggler on the other hand got a massive pop from the fans after his match when he managed to get up on his feet again.

After last night's impressive "storytelling" by Del Rio and Ziggler, it is safe to say that Ziggler is finally doing a face turn. This is about damn time, thinking about the fact that he always gets a big pop when he enters an arena. Ziggler will continues his feud during the summer with Del Rio, but I really believe that creatives has something big planned for "The Show Off" this summer. Even though he lost his first title-defense, it is safe to say that his future has never looked better.

4) Ryback
The last one I want to talk about is Ryback. Since he received his massive push last year, Ryback has yet to win a high-profile match. A lot of fans is starting to get sick of this, including myself. Ryback has time to time proved "non-believers" wrong, and it is safe to say that he has main-event caliber skills. His match last night against Cena was not as good as their first one, but it was still a decent match. Sadly enough Ryback fell short once again. Only this time he actually scored a pinfall against Cena, which is a rare case now a days. Not many stars has done that the past couple of years, so it was not an all out black night for Ryback. But no one will remember that since Ryback lost the next two stages. Though his future still looks bright, even though he has been buried time after time by creatives.

This summer Ryback will most likely move out of the title-picture and in to some "non-title" feuds with high profile wrestlers like Sheamus or Randy Orton. This will be a great opportunity for Ryback to gain some momentum before he goes on to chase the WHC or WWE title again, and it will help him on his journey to "rebuild" his monster gimmick again. There is one a limited amount of times a monster can fall before it loses its credibility for good if you ask me. Ryback will not main-event ppv's the next six months, but he will be in high profile feuds, you can count on that!

WWE Payback PPV predictions!

Hello there. WWE-Fanblog returns after a long absence because of account-issues. What better day to return on, than the day WWE presents us a brand new themed ppv named Payback. The name of this PPV says it all. Wrestlers revisits old feuds, or continue/ends on going feuds, which makes this ppv interesting. Most likely this ppv will end 4 or 5 feuds, which gives us the possibility of a fresh start for the summer.

This time I will give you my predictions of each match tonight. Use the comment-section or twitter to tell us your predictions.

@Hjo_4life's predictions

(Pre-Show) Damion Sandow vs Sheamus (Non-title match)
Good to see Sandow getting a more high-profile feud. Though Sandow has won most of his matches lately, I could not see Sheamus lose this one. The truth is that WWE want's to build Sheamus as a possible contender for The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Then he can't lose matches like this. Though I think its going to be a short match that ends with a brogue kick.

Winner
Sheamus


1) Kaitlyn vs AJ Lee (Divas-title match)
This feud could have been better, but it is good to see that WWE is trying to make the divas division more relevant again. The past couple months they have given the divas more spotlight on Raw and Smackdown, and coming this July E! presents a brand new "Totally Divas" reality show, which will give them more spotlight. This match is tricky, but I think AJ Lee will score a dirty win. Kaitlyn has been stale as the champ, and she is missing the passion she showed before she won the title.

Winner
AJ Lee


2) Dean Ambrose vs Kane (US-title match)
These two competitors has a long history together. This was the only way WWE could split up Team Hell No, by giving each one of them different title-shots. Though this is going to be a good match, I think that Dean Ambrose will regain his title either by DQ-decision or a dirty win.

Winner
Kane wins by DQ (Ambrose keeps his title)


3) The Shield vs Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan (Tag-team titles match)
Orton and Bryan has something going on against each other. This match is only a part of a bigger storyline where either Daniel Bryan or Randy Orton makes a heel-turn. Expect this match to be one of the best matches of the night, but don't think for a second that The Shield will lose their titles.

Winner
The Shield


4) Wade Barrett vs The Miz vs Curtis Axel (IC-title match)
This match was put together only a week ago. Originally Fandango was supposed to be in this feud, but his concussion put an end for that. Though Curtis Axel has the abilities to make up for his loss. Expect this to be a really solid 12 min triple-treat match where the rising star Axel takes home the win. Axel is 7-0 so far in his career, and I believe he will continue his undefeated streak for a while.

Winner
Curtis Axel


5) Dolph Ziggler vs Alberto Del Rio (WHC-title match)
Ziggler returned from an injury this Monday on Raw. After finally getting the main-event spot that he has deserved for a long time now, Ziggler got unlucky and suffered a concussion by the hands of Jack Swagger. Though the fact that Ziggler still holds the title after being away for 5 weeks, tells us that WWE has faith in him. This match could go two different directions. The first direction is that Ziggler retains his title by DQ or a count-out, which will set up yet another match against Del Rio at Money In The Bank. Or the other direction of this match is that Ziggler takes home a dirty win by pinfall, which takes Del Rio out of the title-picture for a while. Hopefully WWE decides to go with direction number two, because personally I feel that Del Rio has become a stale babyface lately, and I think he has been in the title-picture for to long now. Give the shot to someone else, and give the champ a fresh and entertaining feud for the summer.

Winner
Dolph Ziggler


6) Cm Punk vs Chris Jericho (Non-title match)
This is the match I am most excited about tonight. Yes we have seen these two battling it out a lot of times before, but not under these conditions. At Extreme Rules in 2012 these two had an epic match in the same arena that they are competing in tonight. Yes this is not the first time Cm Punk battles Chris Jericho in front of his home crowd. But this time Cm Punk returns from a 9 week absence, which makes it so exciting for us fans. We now that the Chicago crowd is one of the best crowds in the world, which they proved at Money In The Bank 2011, when Cm Punk fought John Cena in one of WWE's greatest matches of all time. This match will steal the show, and it will be remembered for a long time. The atmosphere will go trough the roof when Cm Punk makes his epic return in front of his lovely home crowd.

Winner
Cm Punk


7) John Cena vs Ryback (WWE-title match)
These two stole the show at Extreme Rules after an epic 24 minute last man standing battle. All those who doubted in Ryback as main-event material was proven wrong at Extreme Rules. This time they will battle it out in a 3-stages of hell match. I expect this one to be as good as the last one, but sadly enough Ryback will lose yet another PPV-match. There is no way that WWE will strip Cena for the title so early in his run. I actually believe that Cena will hold on to the title for almost a year or so. But expect Ryback to come out as a strong loser. This is the only way he will not lose any credibility. But also expect Ryback to be cheered in this match, considering that Cena is known to get a hostile reaction from the Chicago crowd.

Winner
John Cena



Conclusion
This show will be solid. You have some high profile matches, but most importantly a lot of rising stars get their shot to shine in the spotlight in front of a great Chicago crowd. Expect Cm Punk and Chris Jericho to steal the show.


Anyway, enjoy this epic Cm Punk match as a way to build your excitement for his return tonight:
