Money in the Bank: 2011 Predictions

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: CM Punk vs. John Cena (Champion)

Stipulation: If CM Punk walks out of Chicago with the Championship. John Cena will be fired by Vince McMahon.

After becoming the new Number One Contender, Punk announced that he will be leaving the WWE on July 17 ^th . Not only will he be leaving the WWE, he will be leaving the WWE with the WWE Championship. Since that time Punk has been busy. Punk was suspended by Vince McMahon for unprofessional conduct. One week later Punk was reinstated when Mr. McMahon revealed the true reason for Punk's suspension. Mr. McMahon did not want Punk to embarrass him by leaving the company with the WWE Championship. Mr. McMahon changed his mind when Cena was about to walk out on him. Mr. McMahon gave Cena the match but added a stipulation. If Punk walks out of Chicago with the WWE Championship, Cena will be fired.

When Punk returned to Raw the following week he nearly inked a new deal. Mr. McMahon was willing to meet Punk's ever demand. That all changed when Cena interrupted the live negotiations and punched Punk in the face. That made Punk realize why he was leaving the company in the first place. So he took the unsigned contract from Mr. McMahon and ripped it to pieces. Since Punk did not sign a new contract he can still make good on his word and leave the company with the WWE Championship. The only thing standing in Punk's way is John Cena.

Based on the stipulation it would seem that Cena will defeat Punk at Money In The Bank; However, if we take a closer look at what the stipulation says we can see other possibilities exist. Punk could still win the match without Cena being fired. The key words to look at are "if CM Punk walks out of Chicago with the Championship". Punk could defeat Cena and during his celebration the Raw Money In The Bank Ladder Match winner could cash in their contract for a WWE Championship Match. If the Raw Money In The Bank winner cashes in their Briefcase successfully, Punk would no longer be WWE Champion. Therefore, Cena would not be fired because Punk is not leaving Chicago with the WWE Championship.

Besides that Punk's final match will take place in his hometown of Chicago. Being in your hometown does not guarantee victory but Trish Stratus won her final match in her hometown. The match was also for the Women's Championship. For those reasons I'm giving the victory to CM Punk.

Winner: New WWE Champion CM Punk

UNANNOUNCED WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Alberto Del Rio (Raw Money In The Bank Ladder Match Winner) vs. CM Punk (Champion)

While CM Punk is celebrating his victory in front of his hometown. Alberto Del Rio will cash in his Money In The Bank Briefcase for a WWE Championship Match. An already tired Punk will not be able to prevent Del Rio from fulfilling his 'DESTINY'. For that reason I'm giving the victory to Del Rio.

Winner: New WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Christian vs. Randy Orton (Champion)

Stipulation: If Randy Orton gets disqualified or if the referee makes a mistake, Christian automatically becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Christian won the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules. Five days later he lost the Championship to Orton on SmackDown. Christian had the opportunity to win back the Championship at Over The Limit but fell short in the end. After losing at Over The Limit, Christian turned heel and faced Orton at Capitol Punishment. Christian got the short end of the stick at Capitol Punishment when the referee cost him the match by counting even though Christian's foot was clearly under the ropes. That is what brought forth the stipulation for this match. Christian has increased his chances of winning by getting Orton to agree to this stipulation; However, it is not enough to guarantee Christian the victory. Like I said before "Obviously WWE does not want Christian as Champion. Otherwise they would have let him remain Champion for longer than five days". If Christian wins this time around we will have to see more of Christian verse Orton and I think the WWE Universe has already seen enough of that. For that reason I'm giving the victory to Orton.

Winner: Randy Orton

Winner: Wade Barrett

MATCH: The Big Show vs. Mark Henry

Henry has been getting the best of Big Show in recent weeks. Henry attacked Big Show at Capitol Punishment by performing the 'Worlds Strongest Slam' through an announce table. This caused Big Show to lose his match against Alberto Del Rio. Henry was not finished with Big Show just yet. A few weeks later, he attacked Big Show during his Steel Cage Match with Alberto Del Rio. Henry ripped the cage door from its hinges and used it to attack Big Show. When these two meet at Money In The Bank it will be a fair fight. Henry will not be able to sneak attack Big Show. Besides Big Show is on the cover of the Money In The Bank PPV poster. For those reasons I'm giving the victory to Big Show.

Winner: The Big Show

DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Brie Bella vs. Kelly Kelly (Champion)

Brie Bella will have the advantage going into this match. Bella has her twin sister at her side. Together they can pull some 'Twin Magic' and take the others place in the match. Even though Kelly Kelly is at a disadvantage she just won the Championship on June 20 ^th . It would be highly unlikely for her to lose the Championship less than a month later. For that reason I'm giving the victory to Kelly Kelly.

Winner: Kelly Kelly
