WWE Money in the Bank 2012: WWE Championship MITB Match

[Raiden46]

This is the most predictable match I've seen since I started watching WWE again last year.

John Cena wins. In addition to all the reasons I will list below, the WWE wants him to headline SummerSlam because they don't want him in the 4th most important match on the card (#1 WWE Title, #2 WHC Title, #3 HHH VS Lesnar, #4 Cena VS ???).

Jericho will be leaving again to tour with his band, so he's out.
Big Show is just fodder for Cena. Monster heels never win against superheros when it counts.
Kane as champion? That was cool about 10 years ago.
Mysterio (if added) won't win because he's on his last legs.
Miz (if added) is a joke given that he can't even beat Brodus Clay nowadays.

So with MiTB just a few hours away now, i ask you this;

Should the WWE Championship MiTB Ladder Match only have 4 competitors or should more be added? If so, who? And you reasons why?

I personally think that they need 2 more people to be added, someone simular to Kofi Kingston/Evan Bourne/Dolph Ziggler because the only person I can see performing a decent move from/on the ladder is Jericho. Cena won't because at this time he means too much to WWE and is to much of a risk to hurt. Big Show physically can't perform the moves without breaking the ring and Kane is getting old now and is not known for being highflying/taking falls.

What do you think?

I'll comment before this gets moved.

First off, remove Wade Barrett from this list. The WWE MITB Championship match is for former WWE Champions only. He is not one.

And there's already been several mentions of the people with the biggest chances of making a surprise entrance into the match.

The Miz
Rey Mysterio
The loser of the WWE Championship match

Randy Orton is suspended beyond tonight, so his entrance would mean a violation of the WWE's own rules.

The problem with either of the first 2 is that their return will be wasted if they return and lose, so I doubt both would make a surprise entrance. However, it's a possibility if they don't plan to push one of them upon return, more likely The Miz I'd guess between the two.

And the problem with the last one is it makes much more sense for the actual WWE Championship match to end the show. I know Cena is in the MITB match, but to tease a potential cash in, the MITB match should prelude the Championship match. Plus, frankly, the WWE Championship match is way more interesting.

Now if the MITB match closes the show, then the loser of the Championship match could enter and possibly win...

I will say this much about MITB tonight. If Punk/Bryan is not the main event tonight and Punk loses the title thus ending his reign, it will be one of the final nails in the coffin for me watching WWE programming. It will prove beyond all doubt that WWE does/did not have enough confidence in Punk to be the face of the company and also be a huge slap in the face to CM Punk in general. If he loses, then the fate of me ever watching WWE programming again will fall upon Brock Lesnar defeating HHH at SummerSlam next month.

BTW to the OP... You misspelled "looser" in your poll question.

What I WISH Would Happen:

Cena wins the MITB. Punk retains the belt, despite AJ's botched interference. So now, the target's are clear. Cena goes to cash in one night, like Jack-Hammer said, straight up, non-heelish way. But maybe gets kayfabe injured somehow before he can do it, possibly on Raw 1000th. Adds a little drama to the show, and (thank god) some unpredictability, instead of the almost obvious Cena winning and cashing in on 1000th for the belt.

Punk stays the champion for some time while Cena's off-screen, finally allowing Punk to grow in popularity without being shadowed by Cena constantly, because the WWE can't keep Cena off screen for any period of time. So, Punk's running through opponents and is STILL champ, but who can't he beat?

Taker. At WrestleMania.

Boom, WM 29 comes. Punk reverses the Old School into a GTS, Dead Man sits right up. Tombstone, kick out. Second tombstone, new champ.

Cena comes out, in black jorts, no fruit loop colors. With a blacked out MITB Briefcase and a ref. Taker can't believe his eyes, all beat up, gets clocked and Cena wins the belt. And in turn goes heel. End wish.

What I THINK Will Happen:

Cena wins MITB, cashes in at Raw 1000th, and the 11 year olds in the crowd mark out.

 

[Skinsley]

If the Punk - Bryan match is last on the card....we will all know Cena is cashing in.

Excuse my bitterness, but I am right and you all know it.

News just in that the WWE title match will end the PPV
Turns out I was right and you all know it.

Weather or not Cena cashes in or not...Cena will end the show. Cash in, or a promo aimed at the victor of the Punk/Bryan match.

 

[mooseman]

Clearly Cena will probably win. However if it was me in charge knowing RAW 1000 is in 2 weeks and tomorrow I need big rating for a monster 1000 promotion i'm going this route. Lesnar comes in through the crowd, get in the ring, beat the shit out of everyone and grab the case. Technically he is a former champ. The shock of his return plus Cena not winning with draw people tomorrow. Not to mention Lesnar is over enough to not only be the 1st MiTB winner to lose his cash in but whom ever the champ is at the time of the cash in (Ziggler please!) would get a major big time rub from it.

 

[Skinsley]

The only way WWE can win back my heart is if Cena becomes the first man to cash in and fail.
OR
Cena waits the majority of the year before cashing in....Keeping the Mr money in the bank title to keep him relevant for a while and still keeping him out of the WWE title picture for a little longer....then he can cash in and win at Mania or beyond for all I care.

The rumor has been that Cena was going to win tonight and be the first to lose. He's allegedly going to cash it in legit at Summerslam and lose to CM Punk...

We shall see though.

Either way, it's damn ******ed for Super Cena to win once again..

Becomes very tiresome when the WWE title match is not your main event.

 

[Ryberg]

Ziggler will be the first to lose with a briefcase mark my words. He's the most vanilla of the mid-carders out there. All moves NO PERSONALITY or mic skills. If he wins by some chance, he'll hold the belt for a week until Barett returns.


WWE just made RAW unwatchable. I'd be watching dyslexic lesbian midget softball on ESPN alternative before I watch RAW again while Cena is in the title picture.

Dolph Ziggler was given the win because the WWE is deliberately setting him up to lose? I fail to see the logic in this.. What you have said has absolutely no logic whatsoever. I feel dumber having read your post. I will take it upon myself to abort every single one of your potential offspring, so to make sure that any little uberoffpeter's never see the light of day.

It was a pretty predictable pay-per-view all-round. It was obvious who would be put in the WWE championship Mitb match, Cena was obviously going to win, same with Ziggler, even Punk winning was obvious.

Ziggler will probably cash in sometime after Summerslam, and hold the title through summer.

Cena will probably fail his cash-in against Punk at Summerslam or the 1000th Raw, then win in a rematch. Although, now that I think about it, it really would not surprise me to see Punk drop the title to the Rock at the 1000th Raw, and for Rock to lose it to Cena at Summerslam. I don't think it will happen, seems unlikely, but it really wouldn't surprise me that much.

This was just pure crap all around WWE is mailing it in weeks before the 1000th RAW and its starting to piss people off

1st match Smackdown Money in the Bank
This match sucked full of botches full of crap

2nd match Some pale big guy vs Alberto Del Rio
Another match that just sucked very boring and had a cheap finish

3rd match Primo and Epico vs Two Black Guys from NXT
Crap why not just have Kingston and Truth and the Mexican Guys in a four way tag match for the titles? WWE Creative blows

4th match CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan
Another match that sucked these guys really didn't put on a great show but why should they when Vince treats them like they are fighting for the US title?

5th match Ryback vs Two Jobbers
Really? This follows the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!??? wtf is going on right now with the WWE?

6th match Divas
Bunch of chicks who haven't been on tv in weeks make the PPV and is after the WWE Championship match?

7th match RAW Money in the Bank
SuperCena wins, and yet he botches it and ended the match about 10-15 minutes before it was suppose to, This was just boring.

Overall I give the PPV a 1/10, Money well wasted.

I personally enjoyed the pay per view. Thought it was booked ok, fast paced, and enjoyable.

1st match Smackdown Money in the Bank
This match sucked full of botches full of crap

Botches in a match like this with the competitors that were in this match were to be expected. That being said, everyone got to have their chance to shine and showcase their talents and the right guy won the match. Can't complain too much about that can you?

2nd match Some pale big guy vs Alberto Del Rio
Another match that just sucked very boring and had a cheap finish

Well dang. The WWE must be doing a terrible job of building stars if you don't know the name of the World Heavyweight Champion who has held the title since WrestleMania. While the match may not have been as fast paced as you wanted it to be, the match did tell a story with Del Rio working on the arm of Sheamus, which he's been working on for a while now. And Ziggler is most likely to become the next Heavyweight Champion so, it would make sense to have the face retain until then.

3rd match Primo and Epico vs Two Black Guys from NXT
Crap why not just have Kingston and Truth and the Mexican Guys in a four way tag match for the titles? WWE Creative blows

Because, throwing four teams in a tag title match that Kingston and Truth would've won for no reason isn't very creative. Instead, I believe they want to build up some sort of a feud between Kingston/Truth and the Prime Time Playaz to try and do something with the tag team division, hence the little back and forth between them after the match. Also, having them lose to Primo and Epico keeps the competition open with more than one team having a legit claim for #1 contender.

4th match CM Punk vs Daniel Bryan
Another match that sucked these guys really didn't put on a great show but why should they when Vince treats them like they are fighting for the US title?

This match was great as their matches usually are. Period. I don't understand why this match didn't go on last but it doesn't take away from the fact that this was the match of the night and possibly the best match over the past couple of pay pre views.

5th match Ryback vs Two Jobbers
Really? This follows the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!!!??? wtf is going on right now with the WWE?

6th match Divas
Bunch of chicks who haven't been on tv in weeks make the PPV and is after the WWE Championship match?

These matches are what we call filler matches. They allow the crowd to calm down, use the restroom, get something to eat, and get ready for the next big match up, which in this case would be the WWE MITB Match, without missing anything. Having all the main events go on back to back to back would hurt the match since the crowd wouldn't be as hyped up for it. Nobody may care about them but, they are needed in every pay pre view.

7th match RAW Money in the Bank
SuperCena wins, and yet he botches it and ended the match about 10-15 minutes before it was suppose to, This was just boring.

Cena winning was pretty much the obvious choice with The Rock coming back soon and supposedly challenging for the WWE Title but, I think everybody (excpet Kane imo) got their chance to shine, especially Jericho. Don't know if the match was supposed to end the way it did but the way Cena sold it makes up for it in my book since he was going to win anyway.

Overall I give the PPV a 1/10, Money well wasted.

Very sorry you feel that way. I'd suggest you look elsewhere for a wrestling product because if a decent pay per view like this one could only get a 1/10, you're only throwing away your money because the WWE will probably be like this for a while.
