Zack Ryder >> Mark Henry.

WWWYKI!

I'm thinking that Mark Henry will get the shot on a Smackdown, and this would lead to Sheamus somehow getting involved for a triple threat at Night Of Champions. Maybe even a four way with Christian, but that's probably just because I want to Christian in the main event. I'd say a five-way with Cara involved, maybe even a scramble, but WWE's probably going to do the Cara-Cara feud, although they'd be able to book that into the match. Um, before I continue on, I definitely can see the triple threat happen, and hopefully they go that route.

As for Henry himself, I'd have no problem seeing the guy winning the World Title, but I'd rather not see him do so this quickly after we already seen the belt swap hands the past two PPV's. It wouldn't be a big problem for me if it did though, because I don't watch Smackdown, but it does kind of bug me.

Why would Cara be in the Main Event when he is currently in the mid-card at best? If it was to be a Scramble match then somebody like Rhodes, Barrett, Bryan, Jackson would be in the match before Sin Cara would be thrown in.

As for NOC, I just see it being Orton vs Henry. Yes, Christian and Sheamus are likely candidates also but I don't see Sheamus being thrown into the Main Event just to keep this little feud up with Henry. I see Sheamus vs Christian perhaps as a separate feud.

I doubt that they'd give Bryan a title shot when he's Mr. Money In The Bank. Although, I'd love if they did that. Just imagine, he wins the belt, and then awhile later he defends it and loses it against someone, attack them during their celebration, turn heel and then cash in to get the belt back.

But anyways, I said Sin Cara because he was the last to be eliminated in the battle royal, and actually took Mark Henry off his feet. And besides, I don't recall Brian Kendrick ever being anything but a mid-carder and he was featured in the Scramble match.

I think Sin Cara was the last eliminated guy in the battle royal because he sells merchandise with the kids and WWE needs to make him look good for the hispanic markets. Personally, I haven't seen Sin Cara wrestle yet (either Mistico or Hunico, like it's been the past few weeks) but I don't think he should main event yet. I'd wait for Survivor Series where he could be featured in a Survivor Series style tag match. If he shines there, you can start building up for a main event run in 2012. Not before that.

^Wouldn't him selling merchandise with kids and making him look good in Hispanic markets all the more reason to have him partake in the theoretical five-man/scramble World Title picture? I mean, he's only lost three matches (Christian/MITB/Battle Royal) as far as I know of, and it's not like mid-carders never got placed into Scramble matches before. The Smackdown one at Unforgiven was mostly made up of those guys, I mean, this was around the time MVP started his losing streak. I've stated that the scenario isn't really likely, but I don't think it's impossible. I still see the triple threat happening.
