As in whether or not WWE did what you basically expected when they've presented something. RANDY ORTON vs JEFF HARDY, ROYAL RUMBLE: I was right about this, as I had a feeling Orton would retain. Though I expected it to lead to a series of matches where Jeff would eventually take the title from him, but his suspension threw a wrench in that plan. CENA'S BOOKING UPON HIS RETURN: I was pleasantly surprised here, as I was convinced that Cena would at least get a short world title reign at one point. I didn't figure he would be so depowered. MONEY IN THE BANK: Accurate. Once Jeff was out of Wrestlemania, Punk was my pick to win. RIC FLAIR'S RETIREMENT STIPULATION: Yeah, I figured he'd finally lose at Wrestlemania. TRIPLE THREAT FOR THE WWE TITLE, WM24: Orton retaining was my biggest shock of this year so far. I was certain that HHH was winning. KING OF THE RING: I predicted and wanted Jericho to win. Didn't get it. WHETHER OR NOT PUNK WOULD WIN A WORLD TITLE UPON CASHING IN MONEY IN THE BANK: Again, I was right. What surprised me was how fast it happened. THE DRAFT: I was expecting Jeff to go to Smackdown and Punk to go to Raw, but HHH to Smackdown threw me for a loop, as did the announcing switch.

ECW getting decimated by the draft and everyone worth watching ending up on Raw? Yup, called that fairly early on
Lots of the go-nowhere types and jobbers getting the boot: Seems to be coming true now

Well there's been a few surprises certainly. Cena returning at the Rumble, Punk winning MITB and becoming World Champion, Regal winning KOTR, Edge retiring Taker at ONS.
Not Orton at WMXIV, I was one of the few that thought he was winning, didn't mean I wasn't still a little surprised mind.
Yeah there's been some predictable moments but there always will be, but all in all the predictable moments have still been good (Flair's retirement, Jericho's heel turn). It's been a good year so far.
