I'm going with Cena, just because it's Cena. Thats a hard man to bet against. Though I see Show coming down to hit Cena and Cena gaining the upper hand.

Was a decent PPV overall. I wasn't surprised that Dreamer retained the title. Mysterio/Jericho was a great match. Dolph/Khali I didn't care about. And I won't be caring about a Khali/Kane feud. Dolph will likely now move onto feud with Mysterio for the IC Title. I marked for Edge/Jericho winning the unified Tag Titles.

I was surprised that Michelle beat Melina, considering Michelle keeps getting the better of Melina on Smackdown, and normally the PPV match would end up with the babyface winning. But hopefully now the title will look good around Michelle's waist, rather than Melina's.

Punk/Hardy match made sense for Punk to get dq'ed to build up another match between the 2 at Night Of Champions next month. And I wasn't surprised by Cena winning or Orton retaining either.

Good show, enjoyed everything except the womens match and Orton/Triple H where I'm just way too sick of that feud to care about anything they do.  Punk was awesome.  Miz should have a lot more to bitch about and hopefully gets even more mic time now.

Like the whole show, including the woman's match. Glad McCool won, she deserves it.

I really hate Cena so whether it's good for business or whatever, I don't care, I can't be happy that he beat Miz.

Dibiase hint was good too as long as they follow up with it - I got a bad feeling WWE has heard the split rumours or something and did that to tease us, only to have him continue to be Orton's lackey.

I think he'll switch soon. With that new movie he's in they'll want him to be a face to promote it.

Possibly. But I don't really see WWE following up with this. If they did, they would've done it last night. By having DiBiase not come out to help Orton, and have Orton instead rely on Rhodes to help him retain the WWE Title. But obviously, WWE didn't do this.

Really good show. The Intercontinental and World Title matches had great finishes, and Edge's contributions to the tag match were absolute gold. I could watch that "tag in, miss spear, tagged out" sequence over and over.

The WWE Title match was disappointing, even given the overfamiliarity of the feud. The 3 Stages of Hell gimmick was made to look pointless, with it essentially being a stretcher match from the start. Really not worth resurrecting the stipulation to do nothing with it. The way Orton dragged/spun Triple H over the line looked unexplainably cool though.

Do we really have to sit through another Kane/Khali feud? Really? What have we done to deserve such cruel and unusual punishment?

Has anyone else noticed that whenever Vince is in a backstage segment these days, or at least most of them, he seems to be winging it? I keep getting the impression he's forgotten his line and just making it up as he goes along.

Given only three weeks since the last PPV, I think The Bash delivered very well, entertaining to watch almost throughout. I'm not a Michelle McCool fan but Melina's attire made that match worthwhile too.

Yeah, I think that's the problem with all Vince's promos right now. He's too conversational, it doesn't work with the live crowd, they don't know when to cheer, what to cheer, what to boo etc. And he seems to mumble a lot too, talk too quietly.

Promo at the start of RAW was best he done in a while, and I think that's because it was focused and sounded planned, way he built up the fans thinking they gunna get their money back then being like "NOT!"

That and every promo he's done has been done a million times before.  The one on Smackdown was like the exact same one he did a few years ago.  His character has done everything it can and needs to go away.  Every time he's back on screen something shitty is happening.
