Alright its a big PPV and a lot of picks need to be written up so lets get to this:

The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes  

What an odd pairing.  And out of no where too.  This is on the pre show right?  I’m going to say the Miz wins and hopefully gets some sort of come back going yet again.  Hard to believe he won a title at WrestleMania.

Winner: The Miz

Alberto Del Rio vs. Jack Swagger 

This story is better if Del Rio wins.  He then goes on to feud with Dolph and there’s a classic heel vs. face feud.  Swagger has come so close numerous times to just bombing this gimmick.  I love it but I don’t think its actually working.  Put it on the shelf and dust it off in a couple years with someone else.  Del Rio is just too beloved with the fans to lose this one.  He needs to go back after that title and honestly after this injury I wont be surprised if he quickly takes it off Ziggler as well.

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

John Cena vs. Ryback 

I really don’t think John Cena is fully healed.  But I don’t think Ryback is ready for the big belt.  There’s no way that Cena takes over a year without the belt, almost two years, just to lose it a month later.

Winner: Ryback.

Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H 

Brock Lesnar needs a big win.  A monster has to be dangerous, unstoppable, destructive, in order to be a monster.  Brock is becoming dangerously close to the guy who was a monster but cant get the job done anymore.  There’s more money in him taking out Hunter for a while, destroy a few other people, and then Triple H coming in as the savior say around Survivor Series.

Winner: Brock Lesnar

Sheamus vs. Mark Henry 

I really just don’t care about this match.  Um, Sheamus lost at WrestleMania and Mark Henry won.  Based on that alone I’ll guess Sheamus wins.

Winner: Sheamus

Randy Orton vs. Big Show 

Another match I couldn’t care less about.  Randy Orton is just failing to interest me in any way lately.  I don’t even know if being a heel would be enough to save him anymore.  If anything he needs to go away for a bit so the fans can miss him.  A Big Show punch is a good way to do that.

Winner: Big Show

Chris Jericho vs. Fandango

Jericho doesn’t need to get over, nor is he going to be around long enough to build up a story.  The fact that this angle has gone two months is honestly enough.  Build up the new guy some more so he can continue to get over while Jericho is at a concert or hosting a show.

Winner: Fandango

Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose

Its time for the Shield to rise!

Winner: Dean Ambrose

Hell No vs. The Shield

Continuing the Rise of the Shield!

Winners: The Shield

What will be the match order for the 9 matches announced? (just give the numbers in order, so Miz vs. Rhodes would be 1, Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H would be 4) ex: 1, 4, 2, 7, 6, 5, 9, 8, 3
