WrestleMania 27: #384 (Site)
Elimination Chamber: #241 (Site)
Royal Rumble: #513 (Site)

*** Steel Cage Match, for the WWE Championship
John Morrison vs. John Cena vs. The Miz (c)

My Prediction: The Miz, Cage Escape, Yes - interference

I'm very positive that R-Truth will interfere & cancel John Morrison out, and Alex Riley, even though he is now on Smackdown, will try to help The Miz out by distracting John Cena. Regardless, this is a big opportunity for The Miz to prove that he is a "legitimate" WWE Champion, that he is the real deal, & that he is truly....AWESOME! Miz or Cena to win, but I'm leaning slightly for The Miz.

*** Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole & Jack Swagger

My Prediction: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler, No - no interference

This can go either way, with this being an Oklahoma Whipping match. The biggest factor will be who gets the last laugh among the two that can really wrestle--Jack Swagger, or Jerry Lawler. Jerry Lawler to pin Michael Cole w/ a finisher, or Jack Swagger/Michael Cole making J.R. tapout to the ankle lock. Bragging rights after this match is nice, but don't you think Cole & Lawler should've put something bigger at stake, like their broadcasting job on Raw?

*** Ladder Match,
Christian vs. Alberto Del Rio
-- 4-Down Note: "This match is for the World Heavyweight Championship."

My Prediction: Christian, Yes - interference

This can go either way, although I can't really quite stomach the idea of seeing both major titles be on Raw, whereas both secondary titles are currently on Smackdown. With this being a ladder match, anything goes. That means Brodus Clay & Ricardo Rodrigues are in play here, even Edge could at least come out and play some sort of non-wrestling distraction role, if they want to go that way. It'll be interesting to see how well ADR can do in a ladder match, but he has the skills & ruthlessness to really shine here, because he really lacks ladder match experience compared to "Captain Charisma". Christian to win this one for Edge, & all the peeps.

*** Last Man Standing Match,
CM Punk vs. Randy Orton

My Prediction: Randy Orton, Yes - interference

With the recent 2011 Draft, this could prove to be very interesting, and it's definitely 50/50. The New Nexus could come into play in this match, as well as a heel-turning Mark Henry (see below). Either way, this could be a very brutal match, regardless of who ends up being on his feet by the time the referee finishes his 10-count. I'm either seeing a huge Punt to Punk's head, or a Nexus-assisted GTS/Anaconda Vise to finish this. I'm leaning towards the former because it's only fitting IMO, and there's no real word on whether Punk will stay with the E or leave.

*** Falls Count Anywhere Match,
Cody Rhodes vs. Rey Mysterio

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

Cody needs another big win to really make his presence known on Smackdown, & progress his career. This could be another brutal match, especially if both Superstars have the intentions to "disfigure" each other. Rey must keep Cody in the ring to do his 6-1-9/Surfboard finisher, and Cody must try to get Rey out of the ring to add more punch to his CrossRhodes. Leaning towards the latter here.

*** Layla vs. Michelle McCool

My Prediction: Layla, Pinfall, No - no interference

This is pretty much a freebie, if rumors of McCool leaving the E is true. Hopefully, this one will be pretty short to give enough time for those big hardcore matches to be more meaningful & entertaining to the WWE Universe. Layla to win w/ a surprise cover. Hopefully, whoever stays enjoys it, because once Kharma (Awesome Kong) debuts, it's going to be Hell until she shapes up or ships out.

*** Who will be pinned or made to submit in the WWE Championship match?

My Prediction: John Morrison

*** Will The Rock interfere in the WWE Championship match?

My Prediction: No

Why would he? He's celebrating his birthday on the next Monday Night Raw in Miami.

*** Will Edge interfere in the World Heavyweight Championship match?

My Prediction: No

*** Will R-Truth or Mark Henry interfere in any match?

My Prediction: Yes, both will interfere in a match

*** How many title changes will occur at Extreme Rules?

My Prediction: 1
