YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
This is a match that I think most have expected since Ricardo Rodriguez revealed himself as RVD's new "personal ring announcer." As a result of winning a singles, non-title match against Del Rio last night, RVD is the #1 contender for the WHC and has his shot at NOC.
While their match on Raw was pretty solid, I'm expecting better at the ppv. It wouldn't surprise me if RVD won the WHC only for Damien Sandow to successfully cash in his MITB briefcase almost immediately after, thereby winning the title himself. Given the alleged details of RVD's current deal, such as him going on hiatus after he's been working for 90 days, I think that's the best that can be expected as far as RVD's WHC future goes. If he doesn't just flat lose to Del Rio, Sandow successfully cashing in is a means of keeping RVD in the WHC scene and giving Sandow an over babyface to feud with, at least until he goes on hiatus.
