Any early pics of the set released today from anyone in the building? Hyped for it, could/should be more hyped but WWE has really screwed up the booking/hype in recent weeks. Can't wait for Punk/Lesnar, been looking forward to it since Lesnar's return never mind the first f5. They look to have awesome chemistry from what I have seen the brawl's they have had. Brock's current best match of his return run is undoubtadely the first match back with Cena that was a classic, but I have the feeling Punk and him have the potential to top it. Looking forward to Cena/Bryan, and with Cena's current state we could really be looking at a massive change here. Hopefully it is as epic as I think it will be. Come on Bryan! YES! I think it was a mistake not calling the Kane/Wyatt match an Inferno match (like every other one in the past) for marketing purposes but I still think the gimmick means something due to it being used so little so I am looking forward to seeing it return. Del Rio/Christian should also be good, give them time like SD two weeks ago and you will have another technical clinic going on. Team Christan all the way and end another one of ADR's boring reigns (he get's a constant push anyway no matter how much quality he puts out or lack there of so I damn well hope Christian wins). The Mixed tag, Cody/Sandow, Ambrose/RVD should all also be good. Like I said hyped but I should be so much more hyped for it, and they missed out on booking some really interesting matches (cough:shield:cough) on the main card and really stumbled over the booking recently

So is Brie Bella vs Natalya really happening on the main show? Odds on it getting bumped for Total Divas drama while Nattie waits patiently in the back to come out after Bryan/Cena?

WWE Title: I'm going with Bryan by pinfall and the PPV ending on a very high note with Bryan and the crowd YES'ing. Of course I expect McMahonigans. I think they save the cash in for RAW. Should you hope to get a ratings bump from Bryan winning and the idea of Orton cashing in.
WHC: I'm going with Del Rio, but by DQ. I think Ricardo attacks Del Rio.
Best vs. Beast: I think this feud could lead to another match at Mania, so I'm picking Brock to win via Submission, but not the kimura. THE BROCK LOCK RETURNS. It makes sense with Punks bad knee and ankle.
Ring of Fire: I got Wyatt winning with help from the Family coming up from under the ring. AFTER the match Kane is set on fire.
Rhodes/Sandow: I'm going with Sandow via some sort of cheating, roll up with tights, feet on ropes or ref not looking briefcase to the head.
Mixed Tag: Ziggler and Kaitlyn with Kaitlyn getting the pin on AJ after Ziggler knocks E to the outside.
Divas Grudge: I fully expect this match to get bump due to time. However if it stays on I got Brie winning.
Kickoff US Title: I'm going with RVD via DQ after The Shiled come in, then Show & Henry show up setting up a 6 man tag from the rest of the preshow or RAW.

So I'm working tonight and won't be able to watch Summerslam live. So I'll be ordering it and watching when I get home at 5am. Gonna have to avoid the internet until I watch the show.

Against my better judgement, because of WWE telegraphing things, here's my picks:
RVD beats Ambrose to win the title. Rollins & Reigns get involved, & so do Big Show & Mark Henry leading to:
Show/Henry beat the Shield to kick off SS. This starts the tension within the Shield, eventually leading to Ambrose winning the WHC at Hell in a Cell, Rollins turning face, & winning the WHC at Mania. (I had a whole long scenario typed out from ppv-ppv-ppv etc after some said it was too soon, but it disappeared, & I'm not starting over.)
AJ/Big E beat Ziggler/Kaitlin. Big E is about to get a major push I think.
Cody beats Sandow.
Wyatt beats Kane after Rowan makes it past the fire since his coveralls will be of the flame retardant variety tonight.
Christian over ADR after Ricardo gets his revenge on Del Rio.
Punk beats Lesnar, but still doesn't get his hands on Heyman, continuing the feud.
Brie beats Natalya
Bryan beats Cena, then beats Orton after he cashes in. That leaves Cena & Orton as the only two to fail in cashing in. Bryan ends the show with the WWE title held high, & the crowd going nuts. It will be one of those iconic moments/images that always get shown.
I was really tempted to have Sandow cash in & win, but don't think it happens twice. Would've been similar to Brett losing to Owen, & winning the title later that night.

Idk why anyone thinks Orton is gonna cash in. He's been saying he's gonna cash in at Summerslam every week since he won. They're never THAT obvious.

Tonight really goes a long way to showing what the mindset of the company is. They have an injured champion, who should have more time off anyway, and a guy with a lot of momentum in the challenger and is extremely healthy, with the guy in the middle being HHH, sorry I mean Vince....scratch that Orton...Orton is in the middle.
This could be a MITB 2011 and it has all the potential to be that I think. They could truly make Bryan tonight if they want to defeating Cena alone cleanly, but to then defeat Orton in some fashion would send him over the top. Nothing is stopping them from doing that, especially with Cena's arm it is probably for the best. It is all a question of how much risk they want to take, go with Orton or go with Bryan. Bryan makes more sense to me as they can truly make him, but it's all down to them and Vince really.
Or the super swerve Russo style and keep it on Cena even though he isn't healthy. Should be interesting and there should be a lot to discuss either way

Really, given they've been keeping Cena from the ring, I could see them doing something where they have Bryan beat Cena very quickly, maybe thanks to a questionable call on Triple H's part, then the cash-in runs like twenty minutes. Protects Cena, makes Bryan look like gold even if Orton beats him while it'd make Orton look much less pathetic losing than he would otherwise, and gives a selling point to the eventual Bryan / Cena 2.

Can I just say the fact that there's a thread entitled "Discuss potential SummerSlam spoilers here!" annoys me in the fact that it implies that there are big spoilers coming out of the leaks, which itself is a spoiler to expect something "big" to happen?

They showed play Cena injury a lot. At least tease the idea that HHH might stop the match. Maybe even have backstage with Vince conforting HHH and telling him he doesn't want his investment that being Cena to be in jeopardy.
I don't think Orton is cashing in tonight, but if Orton cashed in in the near future, they would be smart to make that an Orton heel turn, but knowing the WWE it will be Bryan who goes insane and turns heel after that happens.

Is anyone from here going tonight? I'm going to be in the nosebleeds (300 section) but I am still very excited. In all honesty, after I knew Bryan/Cena and Punk/Brock were sure things I ordered tickets right away. On paper, I think this had potential to be one of the best WWE events in several years.

I should probably avoid the forum come about 7 PM anyway since there will probably be some people not following the rules and spoiling things anyway if something does leak
