WWE Undisputed Championship: CM Punk vs. John Cena (With special guest referee Triple H)
Once again, this match is made fascinating if for no other reason than the fact that it's unclear exactly what direction WWE will ultimately decide to go. Will Punk go over clean with Triple H begrudgingly counting the 1-2-3? Will the opposite occur for Cena? Will "Trips" take a mid-match bump from one of the two and turn before it's over? There are so many variables at play, it's almost impossible to make a prediction. Cena being handcuffed to The Rock at WrestleMania 28 next year is one of the bigger X-Factors here. I can see Cena going over with the help of "The Game," which could set up a big money feud between Punk and Triple H. Which, in turn, could lead to "Trips" making his in-ring return at 'Mania against Punk, keeping everyone involved at the top while getting the most bang for their collective buck. The problem there is the increasingly short attention span of professional wrestling fans. Would fans accept a Punk loss and yet another high profile win for Cena? I'm not sure but it seems like the most likely scenario. I fully expect better chemistry in this match with plenty of shenanigans from Triple H. I hope it's not too overbooked but I'm guessing they deliver a 4-star match regardless.
