AS I SEE IT – SummerSlam is here!

Pro Wrestling: Between the Sheets
Later today, WWE will present SummerSlam live from Los Angeles, CA. PWBTS will feature results later today immediately after the PPV. Here are some quick predictions:
Matches include:
The main event and the show’s money match is Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar. This is the match that has been built up slowly and gradually, with the excellent angle involving HHH, Stephanie McMahon, Paul Heyman, and Brock Lesnar, and the payoff “armbreaking” angle involving HBK on the go-home RAW…
WWE Championship – WWE Champion CM Punk vs. John Cena vs. Big Show – this comes down to who WWE sees as the best champion to headline against The Rock at Royal Rumble 2013. Cena’s the safe choice, because he’s had a good match with The Rock already, which may be why he goes over. If Punk goes over, WWE is sfinally ready to go all in with him.
World Heavyweight Championship – World Champion Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio for the World Title- Alberto Rio defeats Sheamus and finally starts getting his long-overdue push.
Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler – Logic says that Ziggler goes over in this match, since Jericho is leaving shortly to go on tour with Fozzy. This might be the sleepr match of the show.
Kane vs. Daniel Bryan – The least interesting to me, even with Danielson being involved. Kane doesn’t do that much for me.
For the Intercontinental Championship – Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio – Miz goes over…he badly needs to in order to start re-building the reputation if the IC title…which was once the title in WWE for the best workers in the company, but in recent years has become an afterthought.
For the WWE Tag Team Championship – WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs. The Prime Time Players – Kingston/R-Truth retain, especially after the recent events with A.W. and the Kobe Bryant rape joke.
Pre-show is the United States Championship match of United States Champion Santino Marella vs. Antonio Cesaro. It’d be nice to see Castagnoli go over, but don’t hold your breath.
A reminder…. Combat Zone Wrestling will present “Down with the Sickness” Chris Ca$h Memorial Show on Saturday, September 8 as part of a doubleheader with EVOLVE at the Flyers Skate Zone, 601 Laurel Oak Road in Voorhees, NJ with a 8:00 pm belltime (preceded by EVOLVE which has a 5:00 pm belltime with doors opening at 4:30pm.
