WWE TLC 2012: John Cena VS Dolph Ziggler - Money in the Bank briefcase [Ladder Match]

[HBKistheHOF]

This feud has been pretty good & they could have a solid match. I'm looking forward to it!

& unlike some, I'm glad the briefcase is on the line for their one on one PPV encounter but I have to agree with those that say it seems like this is an indicator that Cena might win the breifcase & unless that directly results in Cena moving to Smackdown semi-permanently & shifting all his focus away from the WWE title & the Rock, then this feud & the whole MitB would have been POINTLESS!

Unless WWE is dead set on a triple threat between Punk/Rock/Cena at Mania, the last thing I want to see is Rocky & Cena in the same ring again. Their "Once In A Lifetime" match didn't live up to ANY of it's hype & was once too many in a lifetime for me personally. Even if they add the title or anything else, I would prefer Cena & Rock never wrestle again.

That being said, winning the Smackdown briefcase could be exactly what Cena needs to shift his characters focus. He could move over to Smackdown & into the (desperately in need of help) World Heavyweight Championship picture. Yes, putting the 2nd briefcase of the year on Cena (whether he successfully cashed in or not) would be stupid & Ziggler losing does nothing for his character but if it adds (even minor) intrigue to the World Title & wipes the possiblity of Cena/Rock II off of the table, I'm cool with it.

This will probably be the main event. It will send us home, rather than the six man tag match. And, rightfully so. Ziggler and Cena have one of the top stories going on right now. It is certainly the top feud with Punk temporarily out. So, it ending the night is the best idea.

The match will probably steal the show. This is also a great way for Ziggler to prove himself as a legitimate contender in the main event scene. How great would it be is Dolph got a clean win over Cena? Yeah, won't happen. AJ will probably cost Cena the match, whether it be on incident or on purpose.

There are many ways this match could go, but they all end with Ziggler walking out still Mr. Money In The Back.

Show Off.

I have no intentions of ordering this PPV, but I do think this will be a good match. Personally though, I am against the idea of any MITB winner being forced to put their briefcase on the line in any match. In effect, it defeats the purpose of having a MITB in the first place, and it sets a precedent of punishing those who do not cash in early having the risk of losing the contract. Yes, I know this is all story based, I just don't like the idea. I think from a storyline purpose, what they could have done is had Cena and Ziggler argue and Ziggler get shamed or tricked into putting the briefcase on the line. But being forced to do it just doesn't make sense.

[Krundell]

I think this will be a good match only because we've seen how well Ziggler can make cena look plus the addition of ladders usually adds an X factor to a match.

On another note one thing I would love to see is have the world title match open the PPV or be early on in the card and have Dolph Ziggler cash in the mitb contract and win the world title hoping his match with cena is called off, then backstage segments with Vickie, Vince and Cena blah blah blah. Vince announces that the match is still on but the world title is on the line rather than the mitb contract. If done correctly Dolph may be able to lose while looking strong. Have Big Show or Sheamus interfere depending on who wins earlier in the night. This could lead to Ziggler being cost his championship match or have him overcome it and still beat Cena.

The latter is preferred.

I'm glad that the briefcase is on the line rather than this being a regular match. Ladder matches tend to be good and Ziggler should be able to get a good match out of Cena here. It will probably go on toward the end of the evening and it might even go on last, although it could honestly fit into any spot on the card just fine. As much as it might disappoint some, Cena will probably be winning here. It would make a lot of sense for him to want to redeem himself from his failed cash-in attempt at Raw's 1000th episode.

They have the Raw 20th anniversary coming up soon and having Cena win this to cash in at that time would make sense. I hope he does not fail at cashing in twice, that would be ridiculous. Ziggler winning would be nice, although I don't see it happening, nor do I see Ziggler cashing in before this match can take place. If that were to happen then this would turn into a World Heavyweight Championship match, and Cena would likely still win.

DAGGER'S PREDICTIOM
John Cena will win the Money In the Bank briefcase.

[tomthebodz]

I really think that this match will be changed. I can see Ziggler cashing in before the match happens and then this match is for the World Heavyweight Championship. It'll add a bit of credibility to the PPV.

Also having Ziggler beat Cena for a title looks better than him beating Cena for MITB.

[NC Wrestling Nut]

With no WWE Championship match tonight and a "Hardcore" type of Heavyweight Title main event match i expect whoever wins preferably Ziggler to cash in tonight if cena wins i expect the "smack down" brief case to magically transform into a wwe championship money in the bank brief case which he already won but would still be bull shit

[El Rev sXe]

As far I'm concern, this might be Ziggler's match of his career so far, it could determine his entire career. There's too many on the line to lose, he is facing the poster boy of the WWE. If there is a time and match where Dolph sould show off and steal the show, is tonight against Cena.

If Ziggler loses tonight, all his build up, all his momentum is going to be a total waste, I don't like the idea that he should cash in tonight, for me DZ should cash his MitB briefcase after Mania. But tonight, I think we could be watching a match that will define his career. A victory over Cena retaining his briefcase? That sound like a big fat win to show off.

Ziggler needs to win.

[Icon_316]

I'll be fine with this match going either way. Honestly, it could make a nice fued to go into wrestlemania. Have Cena win tonight, then Ziggler win the rumble, then Ziggler could go over Cena and win the title at Wrestlemania which would finally launch him into the spotlight the he deserves. i think him winning the title at wrestlemania would make a bigger impact than him winning it anywhere else with the briefcase

This was a pretty good match. The finish was sloppy with the superkick spot kinda being off and also that not being a very believable move to put down John Cena. But the fact that Ziggler won and the reaction he got made it all worth it. The crowd reminded me of the One Night Stand crowd from 2006 how they would boo when Cena would throw a punch and cheer when Ziggler would. The hurracanrana spot through the table was really cool and both guys deserve props for that. All in all saves the ppv for me that WWE didn't pull a really bonehead move and have Cena win MITB from Ziggler so he could face The Rock at Wrestlemania. Although this pretty much ensures Cena will win the Royal Rumble.
