Trevor’s Response To Ed’s Challenge: Money In The Bank Predictions

Imagine my surprise when I was notified that our very own Ed Boston had issued a challenge to me to share my predictions for tonight’s “Money In The Bank” pay-per-view! If that’s the way he wants it here we go.

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS R-TRUTH & KOFI KINGSTON VS. HUNICO & CAMACHO

Should be a great match with plenty of action. I don’t think that Truth and Kofi are ready to give up the belts just yet.

Ed’s Prediction: R-Truth and Kofi Kingston keep the WWE Tag Team belts.

Trevor’s Response: I agree with you, although things can happen especially at a big pay-per-view event. 

MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FOR A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT

Damien Sandow, Tyson Kidd, Intercontinental Champion Christian, United States Champion Santino Marella, Tensai, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Sin Cara are the participants in the match that should provide everyone watching a high entertainment value. Different styles, different sized competitors, and that ladder stand in the way of all in this match.

Who gets the match against Sheamus (or whoever holds the World Championship Belt)? I wanted to pick Tensai, but I’m going with…..

Ed’s Prediction: Tyson Kidd

Trevor’s Response: Interesting choice, You have so many names involved in this match. Sin Cara has some awesome skills and has a growing following. Who doesn’t like the special spotlight he gets to use on the ring when he competes? That being said Tyson Kidd also has very good in-ring ability and many fans strongly believe he could pull off a victory – Either Tyson Kidd or Sin Cara can’t decide.

MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH FOR A WWE CHAMPIONSHIP CONTRACT

Cena, Big Show, Kane, Jericho – This could be a highlight reel waiting to happen. I am a big fan of each of these superstars and any one of the four could and would deserve to have that Money in the Bank Contract. Obviously Big Show has to be the favorite, and if it was one on one he would certainly be my pick. So much can happen in this match, though and I believe it’s going to come down to Cena and Jericho, my two favorite WWE Superstars.

Ed’s Prediction: Crank up “Break The Walls Down” cause it’s gonna be Chris Jericho.

Trevor’s Response: Big show is a force that needs to be dealt with. He is on a power trip and has this mentality that he can go around and do whatever he wants. That being said you have unquestionably some of the most popular names on the roster right now. This is the first time Cena has entered the Money In The Bank and he seams determand to pick up the win. Not to sure on this one but I’ll go with John Cena. 

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION SHEAMUS VS. ALBERTO DEL RIO

Despite the push of Del Rio and his vicious attack on Sheamus with the hood of Del Rio’s car, I’m all in on Sheamus here.

Ed’s Prediction: Sheamus

Trevor’s Response: I would also say Sheamus except for the fact I think Del Rio might have some help from his personal “ring announcer” (cough cough) something doesn’t seam right it would be to easy to assume Sheamus would pick up the win at least not as easily as people think.

WWE CHAMPION CM PUNK VS. DANIEL BRYAN

The match everyone seems to be talking about, but not for the reason most championship matches are hyped. The talk on this match is how will special guest referee and WWE Crazy Chick, AJ affect the outcome. WWE has done fantastic work building the match up for weeks now. AJ has emerged as a real Superstar. Will she help her ex – Daniel Bryan or will she please the crowd and help fan favorite Punk? This is just me thinking, will there be a third person enter the picture (say Jericho after he wins his Money in the Bank), and AJ make a heel turn right in front of our eyes.

Ed’s Prediction: Ok so after throwing out that twist, I’m gonna stay safe and say AJ does turn heel, but it’s by helping Daniel Bryan become the new WWE Champion.

Trevor’s Response: Now your talking! This is the match I personally am looking forward to the most. I love the mind games AJ has played with both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Your prediction is a good one. However I have this gut feeling that just maybe this whole thing could have been a big game thought up by Daniel Bryan to mess with CM Punks head. I think AJ is a lot smarter then it looks and to quote Jerry The King Lawler there is “a method to her madness”. I just can’t figure out what exactly. Do I think she’s going to be a fair referee either way? NO NO NO she will screw someone out of a victory for sure. The quesion is who? – Anwser I can’t predict a winner for sure. All eyes will be on AJ she wins either way.

Ed’s Money In The Bank Predictions

I’m gonna throw down against my partner Trevor and challenge him to make his predictions for tonight’s WWE Money in the Bank Pay-per-View. We will see then who comes out on top with these 5 predictions and who will be able to talk “SMACK” after it’s over.

CM Punk & AJ def. Daniel Bryan & Eve; Punk refused AJ’s proposal and she slapped both him and Bryan in the face

The Anonymous GM’s final main event unfolded in typically dramatic fashion, as WWE Champion CM Punk teamed with AJ to face Daniel Bryan and Eve. The contest began with another thrilling back-and-forth between Bryan and Punk until the Divas tagged in and AJ managed the upper hand after some vicious offense by Eve.

But with the match in the balance, Bryan, in an apparent declaration of love for AJ, refused to let Eve tag him in and allowed The Geek Goddess to secure the roll-up and the victory. The “Yes!” man reiterated his proposal from earlier in the night and offered to elope with AJ then and there. Punk grabbed the mic and declared that he refused to lie to AJ in order to claim her favor as guest referee, and that he wouldn’t be marrying her in hopes of keeping his title.

The noble declaration from The Second City Saint went seemingly unappreciated, as AJ laid a wicked slap across the face of the champion. Bryan grinned and spread his arms imploring AJ to “come home,” and AJ, seemingly distraught, staggered towards Bryan’s embrace … and slapped him as well, screaming “YES!” and leaving both champion and challenger wounded and befuddled for the second time in as many weeks.
