General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

**Trichocyst** · 2013-02-16 13:35

I'll read the spoilers and only watch it if there's something that catches my eye.

**Tomiko** · 2013-02-17 08:19

Predictions based on the current card:

Also going to try to guess the match order.

30-Minute Online Pre-show
Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Brodus Clay & Tensai

PLEASE don't reunite the Rhodes Scholars just to have them job to the comdey act.

United States Championship Match
Antonio Cesaro (c) vs. The Miz

He'll win by DQ, so Cesaro will thankfully retain.

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Big Show

Albertooooooooooooooooooooooooo Del Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioooooooooooooooooooooooooooo will retain, but Ziggles will cash in the briefcase.

Divas Championship Match
Kaitlyn (c) vs. Tamina Snuka

I predict no one cares about this match and this will be an intermission break for most.

Elimination Chamber Match
Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Mark Henry vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kane vs. Jack Swagger
* Winner gets a World Heavyweight Title shot at WrestleMania 29

First 2 will be Daniel Bryan and Kane for that awkward moment. Winner will either be Henry or Swagger. My prediction will be based on whether Ziggler cashes in or not. If Ziggles cashes in, Henry wins the EC. If not, I'm going with Swagger since the angle between him and ADR is obvious.

I'm also gonna predict that Henry puts someone THROUGH one of the chambers. Because that's what he does.

Team Cena vs. The Shield
John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus vs. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns

The Sword is dull and boring so I hope they lose. I REALLY want The Shield to win this, but they're not going to have Cena end the last PPV before his rematch with The Rock with a loss. Cena's rivalry also can't continue with the Shield for the same reason.

WWE Championship Match
The Rock (c) vs. CM Punk
* If The Rock gets himself disqualified or counted out, CM Punk wins the title.

We've already seen Cena get his ass handed to him by Punk for the past year, so that won't happen again. Cue 'Once in a lifetime' Part 2.

The main prediction here for me is that there will be another stipulation added prior to the match. No way Vince gives Punk his way (only). Probably something like if Punk loses Heyman has to leave the WWE or has to face an opponent of Vince's choosing (HHH) on Monday.

**Clemz** · 2013-02-17 09:50

30-Minute Online Pre-show
Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Brodus Clay & Tensai

United States Championship Match
Antonio Cesaro (c) vs. The Miz
Don't see Miz walking away with the belt on this one. I feel like they should keep it on Cesaro longer, set him up in a feud with Swagger, I mean it writes itself.

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Big Show

Divas Championship Match
Kaitlyn (c) vs. Tamina Snuka

Elimination Chamber Match
Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Mark Henry vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kane vs. Jack Swagger
Rumors are rumors are rumors, but plans are apparently calling for Orton/Sheamus at Mania for the WHC. Things can always change though. I also see Ziggler cashing in at Mania and not at the Chamber.

Team Cena vs. The Shield
John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus vs. Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns
I really want to see the Superfriends lose this one, they definitely don't need the win to get over. Shield could certainly use the win here, but please don't let Roman Reigns on the mic anymore.

That said, I don't see it going any other way. Hoping they surprise us and put this one inside the chamber too.

WWE Championship Match
The Rock (c) vs. CM Punk
Rock/Cena: Once in a Lifetime Again.

**Kalmado** · 2013-02-17 10:04

I really want to see Swagger win. He needs more work in the ring to become a lil more flashy imo as his technical skills are obviously sound, and he still needs a ton more work on the mic. I watched some old Dirty Dutch videos and he is frickin awesome. I already liked what he's done on the mic so far. There is just something about Swagger that makes me want him to win. If not him, please oh please be Henry. Him screaming THAT'S WHAT I DO while looking like a mad dog is so great.

**Clemz** · 2013-02-17 10:32

I would love to see Swagger win it, I've always been a fan of his. Obviously they realize his mic skills need work, and putting him with Dirty Dutch is a solid move. Not sure you could have much more of a heel mouthpiece than Dutch. I really hope they don't drop the ball with his push, but they probably will. But for real, the whole Dirty Dutch and immigrants gimmick and work well in an angle with Cesaro.

**Anoat** · 2013-02-17 13:40

Except Cesaro and Swagger are both heels? It's pretty clear if they are keeping the "we hate immigrants" thing that Swagger will go with newly turned face ADR.

**noblemountain** · 2013-02-17 14:01

Scott Hall is in Atlanta now with DDP. Kevin Nash confirmed via Twitter. First Jake Roberts and now Scott Hall. The video of the phone call is on youtube where he agrees to come down...it's fucking intense. I really hope Hall gets the help he needs there, it seems like it's worked so far for Jake.

**Kang** · 2013-02-17 14:02

Henry or Swagger should win and provide some opposition to whomever is the face champ at Wrestlemania. (ADR, Orton or Sheamus). I would assume it will be Swagger vs. ADR because of Swagger's new anti immigrant gimmick. Whether this will be for the title or not, I'm not sure.

Maybe that will mean Henry will take on Sheamus or Orton, or maybe both in a three-way. He can destroy both on SD in the coming weeks and lead to a three way.

Oh, I forgot about Big Show. WM will probably have two singles matches with Show, Henry, Orton, and Sheamus.

**Exoduso** · 2013-02-17 14:49

This PPV is going to be pretty predictable... which means that what's left to expect are good technical matches haha.
Sword (really John....really?) will beat Shield, ADR will beat Show, Rock will beat Punk. Twice in a life time and all.
Swagger will probably win the chamber match, Ziggy won't cash in the briefcase as usual but will probably screw Y2J in the chamber to set up their WM match.
Orton needs a desperate heel turn, but it won't happen just yet. He needs to lose and "hear more voices" or some other nonsense. But hey, once he turns at least he'll stop with the "MY NAME...... *cheers* is RANDY ORTON".

**Anoat** · 2013-02-17 15:24

New Botchamania! I usually skip the indy botches but the last few minutes are tremendous just because the announcers BURY it in the most brutal fashion.

**noblemountain** · 2013-02-17 16:11

The last bit with oven mitt 1 and 2 was amazing.

also dubbing miz's lines with avengers loki/hulk scene and then having brock say "puny god" after was pretty funny.

**Exoduso** · 2013-02-17 20:23

Other than the enziguri fail, good match haha.

**NynJa** · 2013-02-17 20:54

Cheesey ending to US champ match

**NynJa** · 2013-02-17 21:06

Clock botch lol

**Exoduso** · 2013-02-17 21:30

Is that a joke? They're actually pushing Swagger to Mania? -__-
Then again, kudos on that match.... he brought it.

**NynJa** · 2013-02-17 21:31

Theyre pushing heel america vs face mexico...wait what?

**Clemz** · 2013-02-17 21:31

Color me genuinely surprised.

**NynJa** · 2013-02-17 21:32

Pop quiz: whos warching EC that DOESNT know when and where wrestlemania is?

**Exoduso** · 2013-02-17 21:32

I guess it's the best they could do with ADR as the cheesy face champion...
Shame, should've been Orton/Sheamus.
