Predictions, bitching, etc. Im doing a bare-bones version... I'm doing this from my iPhone.
WWE Championship:
R-Truth vs. John Cena
Cena. Love Truth's push, but a loss will actually help his character.
World Heavyweight Championship:
Christian vs. Randy Orton
This may not happen if Orton's concussion isn't healed. I hope it goes- these two had an awesome match at the last PPV. It's an extremely tough call... I'll say Orton (as much as I love Orton, I'm a little sick of his booking... It's been as bad as Cena lately).
Intercontinental Championship:
Ezekiel Jackson vs. Wade Barrett
Yawn. Barrett.
WWE United States Championship:
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
Dolph.
The Miz vs. Alex Riley
Miz. Should be an interesting match.
CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
Punk (hopefully...)
Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show
ADR.
They'll probably throw a Divas match in as well, so... Kelly Kelly wins, I guess.
If Orton can't compete... I'd guess they'll give Sheamus the match. Be interesting to see if they make Orton vacate the title in that case... But I hope it doesn't come to that.
All the ads for this PPV have been stupid. Plus the announcers keep saying shit like "We've invited Congress and Obama." Incredibly stupid shit.

i did not watch it, but have read the results.
sounds like a 2 match show, which is no surprise, with Orton defeating Christian in another top quality outing (C-Man apparently had his foot under the ropes, so there is the reason to give him another match) and CM Punk defeating Rey in a great match.
Zek defeated Barrett for the IC title. I was telling AJ the other week how much Zek reminded me of Ahmed Johnson (and thats not a good thing), and now with the IC title the transformation is complete, however, shockingly Johnson was MUCH more over than Zek.
Cena won, no shock. It appears Cena bounced to the ring as normal, even though he had his world title stolen and did not have it on the way to the ring, that dude is always so positive...what a role model! AJ, i think Cena is stealing your thunder!
I just hope Truth continues a decent push. If they can turn Bradshaw into a main event heel, they shure as hell can with Truth. I think Truth needs a new look though.
Ziggler won the US title, thats fine, it means so little but at least he was on the PPV.
I hear Bourne got a win over Swagger, nice that they got a 5 minute filler match before the main event, it is better than nothing. Bourne winning a match is nothing new, he beat Jericho and that never got him anywhere.
and i think ADR defeated Big Show, but the match seems to have been more a 'spot' than a match. Im shocked (well, actually im not) that 2 weeks after what was presented as an awful, career threatening car into knee accident, that Show RAN out on Raw last week and was fine to 'entertain' at the PPV.
Rhodes, Cara, Daniels and Dibiase not on the show? that sucks. The IC title should be involved in this 4some, it would lift the belts merit and make for some fantastic matches, heel vs face, face vs face and heel vs heel.

on a totally different point, The Uso's Vs Gabrial and Slater, last week on SD was a really good tag team match. If they were given a PPV slot, 15 minutes, along with another tag team, we could see the division gaining interest. Like the Dudleys/E&C and the Hardyz gained way back when. It is hard to compare, but very few saw those 3 teams coming out and stealing PPV after PPV, but they were young, hungry and talented...and after the SD match id say that these guys are too.

The Uso's have a lot of wrestling blood in them; I think if given the push that Dibiase and Rhodes were given when they first arrived, they'd take it to another level.
But thats assuming that WWE would keep them as a team. Point and case; the Hart Dynasty.

I only caught the second half of Orton/Christian and everything after... but from reading the results, it seemed like a pretty "meh" PPV.
The only really shocking thing is that Riley beat Miz. I think Riley has potential, but I don't get why they're giving him this push... especially compared to some other people on the roster. I'm okay with the feud, but a little pissed that he won.
I heard that Punk/Rey was a good match... of course.
Why was "Keith Stone" there? That was random...
Filler Swagger/Bourne match, continuing the same story they've been pushing. I kind of think this will lead to these two starting a tag team. They'd make an interesting duo. But both of these guys should be fighting for the US Title at this point... Swagger possibly even for the WWE Title.
Looks like they'll be continuing the Orton/Christian feud, which is fine by me. These two had another great match... not as good as Over The Limit, but still really good.
Truth/Cena... awful booking, but, what else is new with Cena? I think Truth is gonna win the MitB this year... and then lose. I think the chances of him ever holding the title are 50/50, but I'm glad to see him in the main event/title hunt.
Almost forgot (though I wish I had forgotten): The Obama sketches... ugh. First of all, any time WWE tries topical humor, it almost always fails. The Obama impression was pretty good, but the jokes he made were awful. And the Obama-roonie... ugh.

Swagger has no place in the wwe title scene...at the moment, he was made to look like a joke as World Champ and has not had a worthwhile push since. Swagger should be a main eventer, he has what it takes I think, but he needs building correctly.
The Riley situation is another wwe classic, they ignore the NXT past, never mention it. Wade wins, Riley ends up with the bigger push!
Sadly it seems Cena may well hold the wwe title until WM next year, and then probably retain it.
