Survivor Series: #58 (Site) -- #1 (League: Big Show's Big League)
Vengeance: #405 (Site) -- #8 (League: Big Show's Big League)
Hell in a Cell: #560 (Site) -- #15 (League: Big Show's Big League)

*** Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match, for the WWE Championship
The Miz vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk (c)

I can't see any way they take the belt off Punk already. Del Rio has had a pair of unremarkable title reigns and it seems like the company may be realizing that he doesn't have "it". Personally I think they made 2 major mistakes with him. First he should not lost to Edge at WM since it destroyed the "destiny" angle that was the basis of his character. He was much more hateable when he had his destiny to lord over everyone. Second he should have kept Brodus Clay as his lackey since at least that gave him a crutch. He's just not intimidating enough on his own. After a year he just seems like a shell of his former self. As for the Miz I don't know that he's ever bounced back from losing to Alex Riley (who I'm not even sure still works there). It's a shame b/c I know from the WM buildup that he could be good.

My Prediction: CM Punk, Yes - interference

*** Chair Match, for the World Heavyweight Championship
Big Show vs. Mark Henry (c)

The third time has got to be a charm here. Henry has that ankle injury to fall back on so a loss won't damage his credability.

My Prediction: Big Show, No - no interference

*** Triple H vs. Kevin Nash
-- 4-Down Note: "This match is essentially a Sledgehammer-on-a-Pole match. There is a ladder involved in the match, but it has nothing to do with how the match is won. (other than providing the means to retrieve the sledgehammer, which does not need to be used for the match to be won)"

I think the best outcome here is an end to the story. Helmsley has to start getting ready for Undertaker again so I'll guess this is a squash. The company has to know there's no point in pushing Nash or continuing this.

My Prediction: Triple H, KO / Referee Stoppage, No - no interference

*** Match for the United States Championship
Zack Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler (c)

It took Cena giving up his spot to get this match so Ryder's chances look good. We'll see if he can keep his momentum going once he's no longer the underdog.

My Prediction: Zack Ryder, Pinfall, Yes - interference

*** Tables Match,
Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett

I view this as the unofficial #1 contender's match for the WHC. Since I think Show gets the job done it only makes sense to predict that the Barrett Barrage will continue.

My Prediction: Wade Barrett, No - no interference

*** Match for the Intercontinental Championship
King Booker vs. Cody Rhodes (c)

WWE seems to have a problem keeping announcers out of the ring. I can't see any point to giving Booker (is he still royalty?) the title. It seems like that would destroy a lot of Cody's credability as well.

My Prediction: Cody Rhodes, Pinfall, No - no interference

*** How many title changes will occur at TLC Tables Ladders and Chairs?

WHC and US titles

My Prediction: 2
