I'd like to see Ambrose vs Rollins at MitB but I'm hoping against it because Rollins will obviously go over. I'm expecting some sort of clusterfuck tag team match of Rollins and Orton vs Reigns and Ambrose. Yes I know Orton is in the MitB match but I could see HHH being HHH and making him be in the tag match as well.

Rollins Ambrose is def happening at MITB you can tell that they are setting it up.

[BigRedLedbetter]

You are probably right. The Rollins turn is growing on me I just wish they waited a little while longer. I'm hoping for friction between Ambrose and Reigns at some point and a triple threat for the title at Mania or something.

[Simple Torture]

Let's see how we did!

Wanna try to guess the 7 MiTB entrants?

Ceasaro
Wyatt
Cena
Rusev
Big E
Kane
Kofi

3/7

It depends on Bryan. If they have to take the belt off of him it could be a completely different match. Assuming Bryan stays champ, I'll go with

Reigns
Rollins
Ambrose
Ziggler
Miz
Del Rio
Kofi

2/7

To be fair, we were imagining this as a "shot at the title" match and not a title match.

[numbers]

Now lets pick the winner!

I've read online that a heel is expected to win it, but I'm still going with Cena. I assume Reigns will have the match won at some point and HHH will screw him to set up their singles feud.

[numbers]

I will say though, the way they are barely even acknowledging cesaro the last couple weeks might be because he is going to win.

[Simple Torture]

I still think it's too early to put the title on Reigns, Cesaro, or Wyatt. They need a built-up feud to really establish their cred. I would be ecstatic if Wyatt won and the bearded guys won the tag titles, and between now and SummerSlam we entered a weird alternate universe where the Wyatts held most of the gold. But I think we're going to all be disappointed and it'll be Cena or Orton. There's the unlikely scenario, too, that Cena and Orton could each grab one belt and then they've gotta do a unification match at Battleground.

[numbers]

The two guys grabbing a different belt is how I thought the original unification match would finish, I could easily see that happening again.

[MattA75]

But aren't they grabbing that plastic hook thing that has both belts attached, and not the actual belts?

Thoughts on entrants into the 2nd MITB match for the title shot that was just announced? Rollins is confirmed, so I'd imagine Ambrose has to be in as well. Ziggler? Bo Dallas? RVD? I don't think I'd want to see Rusev in this sort of match, Big E either.

And WTF Cody Rhodes?

[numbers]

Rollins
Ambrose
Ziggler
Rusev
Barrett
Big E
Dallas

That's my prediction, although I could see Miz replacing either Barrett, Big E, or Dallas if he returns next week.

[Simple Torture]

Rollins
Ambrose
RVD
Kofi
Swagger
Dallas
Big E

[Joesanity]

Yeah, too early for Reigns. Feels like they should build him up to a big star-making win at Wrestlemania next year.

An Orton or Cena win would be the worst, unless it's a Cena win that leads to a heel turn (not holding my breath).

[MattA75]

What about Rollins wins the briefcase earlier in the night, Reigns wins title, HHH sledgehammers Reigns, Rollins cashes in, possibly setting up a Rollins/Bryan - HHH/Reigns program for Summerslam?

That is an AWESOME idea. They should totally do that.

[Simple Torture]

That is, by far, the best idea I've heard so far. Considering that Bryan may not be back until September, they need to add some excitement to the title picture, and a quick cash-in win (either that night or on the next raw) would be a great way to do that.

[numbers]

Here's mine

Set it up so that it comes down to cena and orton with sheamus down outside the ring, HHH then screws orton and helps sheamus win. Sheamus is HHHs new top heel and you set up orton-sheamus to hold over until Bryan gets back. This way you aren't putting the title on someone green but you aren't going with cena or orton for the 1000th time.

The title hasn't changed hands on Raw in like 3 years; that'd be a nice injection of hype.

Sheamus is a very real possibility

and I think I'm the only one who hopes the Miz is in the match for the title shot down the line...he was such a great dinkish heel character and then they ruined him by putting him with R Truth and feeding him to Cena and the Rock

[i got bugs]

The whole sheamus idea would be cool but why give him the us title if they were gonna go through with this

because Bryan wasnt supposed to miss the whole summer when they did that?

Ive read people saying holding the US title makes him a non factor, but I dont see why. They can always just have a tournament for the US belt afterwards.
