--------------------

The Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Pay Per View is tonight... Several within the WWE, reportedly, along with other analysts online are predicting that the TLC will have the worst buyrate of the year. I disagree, as the allure of a good ladder match will prompt enough buys to better the other horribly viewed events of the year.

Overall, the booking surrounding the show was quite rigged. It seems to me that the WWE just isn't putting enough effort into making Alberto Del Rio, Miz, and CM Punk dislike each other. Seems like the WWE is actively screwing up their booking with Alberto Del Rio, as I just don't feel the tension with him and the faces, be it Punk or John Cena.

And speaking of John Cena, what will he do tonight?

Here are my predictions for tonight's show...

Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett
One would think that the taller wrestler should have an advantage in a Tables match, right? I can already picture the finish...
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: Wade Barrett wins, continuing to all Orton's character to be humbled with a few losses.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN: Randy Orton will RKO Wade Barrett through a table.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Zack Ryder
WWE is listening to the internet chatter on Ryder and I believe the WWE may act on it tonight.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: Dolph Ziggler retains to allow not only Dolph to continue to develop before main eventing, but allowing Ryder to develop further by chasing the title.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN: Zack Ryder wins the U.S. Title and Dolph will begin his main event push. Good luck to both, although I'd argue both need a bit more seasoning for both of their new roles.

Cody Rhodes vs. Booker T
I haven't heard if the WWE is serious about Booker T as a wrestler, but I suspect not... Booker T will be used to put over Cody Rhodes and allow him to add a big name to his resume. Thus, I'm predicting that Cody Rhodes should and will win...

Kevin Nash vs. Triple H - Sledgehammer Ladder Match
Triple H needs to book himself better than this. Why he's wasting his own talent to wrestle a 50+ year old friend just baffles me. It's not like 2003 was that appealing with a Hell in a Cell match. Nash would prove himself to be quite manly, however, if he takes a dive off the ladder. I expect that Triple H should and will win, possibly quite convincingly.

Mark Henry vs. Big Show
Personally, I'm sad that Kane will reportedly be on the RAW roster. I would have loved to seen him go after Mark Henry with the rebooted and masked character. Overall, with the way the WWE has poorly used Henry recently, such as Ryder defeating Henry, I'm sensing a title change...
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: I would keep the title on Mark Henry and keep it around his waste until Wrestlemania 28 where he'll put over Sheamus.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN: WWE loves Big Show and I'm suspecting a hotshot title change for Big Show to lose it back to Henry at Royal Rumble.

TLC Main Event: Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk vs. Miz
I expect John Cena to sneak into this match, somehow, but assuming he's not, we'll stick with the 3 wrestlers currently in the match. Just 2 weeks of build up for this match and there really isn't much heat surrounding this match, other than the gimmick of the match itself. WWE is reportedly not certain of Del Rio and Miz as top guys, which makes me wonder what happens with Dolph Ziggler in the upcoming months...
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: CM Punk retains, only because winning titles in cheap 3 way gimmick matches doesn't look strong to me.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN: Heels will work together until an accidental hit causes them to turn, thus allowing CM Punk to retain.

Enjoy the show!

JUST CHILL... TILL THE NEXT EPISODE!
