I'm on my way to go watch SummerSlam, but here's a quick preview about what I think will happen. For one, I think it's a foregone conclusion that CM Punk is walking out of there with the World Heavyweight Championship. Jeff Hardy has handed in his notice and he'll be outta here to sit and think about butterflies or pop pills or whatever he's taking time off to do. If Punk doesn't win tonight, he'll probably win on a cheapie at the next Smackdown tapings, and that's only if they're planning on having Orton retain and want one of the World Title-level matches to end on a high note.
I can't really forecast the WWE Championship match because I think Randy Orton and John Cena both have a fair shot at winning. I don't have clairvoyance into how the WWE's booking plans are being laid out for the next PPV, but I can definitely see Orton/HBK as the main for the next one, which is a good enough WWE title match to carry either Punk/Morrison or Punk/Matt Hardy on the Smackdown side. That is assuming that Undertaker doesn't challenge Punk right away on coming back or if his comeback gets delayed further.
I totally expect DX to win after all the heat Legacy has gotten in the build, but I'm okay with it as long as it's not a glorified squash match. The IC and Tag titles are hard to telegraph, since they really haven't been following the "whoever gets last heat on TV is jobbing at the PPV" formula all the time. If I were booking, I'd have the heels walk out with titles in both scenarios, especially in the IC level, since they need another top-level face and Mysterio can fill it. I don't think they're strapping Regal tonight either, but that's just my hunch. As for Swagger/MVP, I really don't care who wins, since this could be the match of the night.
AS for Khali/Kane... well, I'm sure I'll have to pee at some point.
