WWE Capitol Punishment 2011 Predictions

Hello friends! Tomorrow night WWE presents the 1st ever Capitol Punishment PPV! 7 matches are on the card so now without further adu here are my thoughts and predictions on each match!

WWE United States Championship Match: Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler

Last year these 2 young studs had a very fun and entertaining program on Smackdown for the Intercontinental Championship which featured several amazing matches and this match here will most likely be no exception! Over the last several months it seemed like WWE was somewhat burying Kofi for no reason until they decided to put the U.S. belt on him last month at Extreme Rules but let's be realistic here friends WWE only put the belt on him so that way the U.S. belt could be on Raw you know? Slowly but surely WWE has been somewhat pushing Dolph back up the mid-card and a U.S. title win would certainly help him in the long run! So with that I am going to go with Dolph to win the belt here and where these 2 young studs go from there is really anybody's guess.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio

Just like with Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler these 2 studs engaged in an equally fun and entertaining program that featured several amazing matches of their own and I know for damn sure this 1 will be no exception either! As for who wins well I am going to go with Punk to win this match because I think that WWE maybe grooming Punk for a future title showdown with John Cena possibly at the Money In The Bank PPV next month based on Punk's win over Cena last Monday night on Raw!

Winner: CM Punk

The Big Show vs. Alberto Del Rio

For the 1st time in a very long time Big Show is actually getting some postitve feedback based on the great segments he had on last night's Smackdown! Of course everybody knows how uber over Del Rio is so this could be a potential sleeper fight right here! In the end though I like Del Rio to win this match to keep the heat on him going into his future title program with John Cena which I think will be at SummerSlam just my opinion but anyways. I think the only logical reason for this program is to keep Cena and Del Rio apart until SummerSlam because in my honest opinion Cena vs. Del Rio for the WWE title is the next big money match and I can't think of a better venue for that fight to take place in than the biggest event of the summer - SummerSlam!

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Wade Barrett vs. Ezekiel Jackson

Barring an impromptu diva fight this fight right here in my honest opinion will most likely be the worst fight of the night mainly because of how stacked this card actually is! So now The Corre is no more and in all honesty that's a good thing because let's face it nobody really gave a crap about them let's not kid ourselves! Anyways now that Corre is no more that leaves Barrett on his own without Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater and that is why I am going to go with Zeke to win the IC belt here because I think they will get involved but they will help Zeke win the belt!

Winner: Ezekiel Jackson

World Heavyweight Championship Match: Randy Orton vs. Christian

Come on friends you know where I'm going with this! Fight of the night in my eyes because of the 2 previous epic matches they have already had on Smackdown and the Over The Limit PPV last month! My guess is that this will most likely be the blowoff to this feud which is a damn shame because this has been 1 of the most fun and entertaining programs that I have seen in a very long time! Now if that is the case then we all know how blowoffs work 9 times out of 10 the babyface goes over and that's exactly what I expect to happen here as I am going with The Viper to retain in what will undoubtedly be not only the fight of the night for this PPV but also yet another candidate for WWE match of the year for 2011!

Winner: Randy Orton

The Miz vs. Alex Riley

Another fight of the night candidate right here mainly because of how personal and emotionally charged this rivalry is! For almost the entire time Riley has constantly got the best of Miz from beatdowns in consecutive weeks, to winning a tag match against him, and then intentionally costing him a match against Roddy Piper last Monday on Raw! Hmmm looks to me like this is another case of Booking 101 and if you guys don't know what Booking 101 is let me briefly explain it to you. Booking 101 means that when 1 superstar keeps getting the best of another superstar then that usually means that the victim usually wins the PPV match. So because of that I am going with Miz to win but I have a feeling that this feud will be far from over as I expect these 2 to meet again at the Money In The Bank PPV next month!

Winner: The Miz

WWE Championship Match: John Cena vs. R-Truth

Over the last several weeks fans including myself and my longtime friend and colleague Derek Ferreira have been raving over the great work that R-Truth has done ever since turning heel nearly 2 months ago! Even though his matches are still so and so Truth's mic work has been in my honest opinion his personal best which will hopefully lead to bigger and better things for Truth down the road! Now as much as I would love to see Truth win the belt here I just don't think that will happen right now because I am going with John Cena to retain in what I think will be a Raw TV main event at best!

Winner: John Cena

Although the build for this PPV has been very shoddy and lackluster at best Capitol Punishment has potential to be a really good show mainly because of how stacked this card is! I expect Orton and Christian to steal the show once again with Miz/Riley, Punk/Mysterio, and Kingston/Ziggler to be very good undercard matches. With Cena/Truth and Show/Del Rio to be decent TV matches at best and the IC title fight most likely stinking up the joint as the worst fight of the night!

OK those are my thoughts and predictions for Capitol Punishment thanks so much for reading and be sure to join me on my Tony Rants blogsite tomorrow night as I will have a complete recap of Capitol Punishment and also be sure to check out my longtime friend and colleague Derek Ferreira's YouTube channel tomorrow night as well as he will have a complete video recap of Capitol Punishment and then be sure to join me back here on this blogsite on Saturday July 9 as I will have my predictions for the TNA Destination X PPV so until then you know the routine everybody!
