For starters don't bet the Dolph match as he won't be in it due to a legit concussion suffered. So his triple threat has turned into a #1 Contenders Match between Swagger & Del Rio. I don't see Henry losing with the way they are pushing him. Honestly I know Cena just won the title back but they want to push Ryback hard. The problem is he is on a big PPV losing streak so a good chance he could win the title here with Cena dealing with a legit injury & drop it right back the following month. I have not asked around about plans though as I usually only bet the big PPVs. I am surprised they have them up for a B-Show PPV.
