So why is CM Punk MASSIVE favourite with bookmakers to beat The Shield? I know they're teasing the break up, but i'm thinking Ambrose goes all "for himself" and Reigns has to bail them out more than Punk winning.

Because the majority of people who bet on matches are people with knowledge of the finishes. That's what the whole thing with the guy on Reddit was about, how people backstage were profiting off their knowledge of a fixed sport. |

When they change and fluctuate after going up, thats when you know someone is betting with knowledge, but they were originally priced this way. |

Yeah, I have no clue then. I see Punk losing after HHH interference after a ref bump personally, but I don't know if they want to make The Shield look that bad. |

I find it odd that less than 2 days before the ppv, there's only 1 match involving tables, ladders or chairs.

Cena's basically been guaranteeing he's gonna win and burying Orton like crazy on the mic. Cena won't win.

There is really only one way the match between Orton and Cena should ever end. They're just about to start the match when they find out it's a triple threat match. Suddenly the arena goes dark. BAM! Break the Walls Down starts up and Jericho shows up. He puts on the best match of 2013 and then captures and unifies the titles. After all, he is the first undisputed champion. If anyone is going to unify the championships, he is clearly the best, nay the ONLY choice.

Here's my picks:
Cena
Punk (after Reigns spears Ambrose)
Wyatts
Big E
Rhodes Bros
AJ
Dolph
The ending to RAW last week has me a little more excited about this PPV, but they are putting all their eggs into Cena/Orton. I think that's why we are only getting the 1 TLC match. The fallout to the handicap matches should be interesting but realistically they are in a lose-lose with those matches. If Bryan or Punk wins then it makes those factions look weak, and if they win who cares..it was 3 on 1. I'm sure they'll add Miz/Kofi too.
Still on the fence about ordering this one. I know I'm getting the Rumble for sure, so we'll have to see how much $$$ I blow after the weekend.

I'd been thinking Orton would win to continue the corporate champion angle, but the way they've been playing it up, they can get a lot more mileage out of having Cena be the champ ambiguously endorsed by the Authority and challenged by Punk/Bryan while trying to stay above all the (kayfabed) political backstabbing. |

So consistent with WWE's habits the last 6 months, which match is going to have a No-DQ element thrown in at the last minute? Or does the very notion of TLC preclude it?
I can see one of the two 3-on-1s going to a DQ, en route to setting up another angle.

I know they're teasing the break up, but i'm thinking Ambrose goes all "for himself" and Reigns has to bail them out more than Punk winning. It's weird isn't it? To be fair I suppose logic dictates one of Bryan or Punk will win, with the current dissension in The Shield I suppose it makes sense that Punk would be one to pick up that victory. However as the posts above state there are plenty of other ways in can go so it's weird Bryan and The Shield are at such long odds. |

Anyone think there will be some false finishes in the TLC match? A guy climbing up but only getting one belt down and it having to be re-hung, stuff like that

I don't really get to follow Raw and Smackdown where I am (timezones are way too different), but why are RybAxel and MysteriShow in the tag team title match and not actual tag teams like the Usos or PTPs? Or have they been around and I've just not read about them?
