Countdown to WWE Breaking Point By SLAM! Wrestling Staff

Score one for WWE theme pay-per-views? Um....

Okay, admittedly it's hard to tell if there's real excitement in the air for Breaking Point the first for what appears to now be a full slate of gimmick PPVs from the Fed. It's not likely that this will pop a huge buyrate, but hey, stranger things have happened.

As is, there are three matches that utilize the "breaking point" theme and a mix of others that should be interesting for our friends in La Belle Province to see live. Let's take a look at the card.

SLAM! Predictions

Jon Waldman

If WWE had plans on burying Punk at this point (pardon the pun), I think they've gone out the window with the amount of heat he's drawing. Punk's quickly become the guy fans love to hate. You still feel though that Punk doesn't quite stand tete-a-tete with UT, but he's not far off. Shenanigans could play a bit part in this finish. Think Teddy will tell the ref to "ring the damn bell" if Punk puts 'Taker in the Gogoplata? Punk wins by nefarious means.

Andy McNamara

This feud is so new and fresh that it will not end right now. I would like to see these two rekindled at WrestleMania and have Punk break Undertaker’s streak. Some distraction or interference occurs and Punk sneaks out a victory by cheating to retain his gold.

I think it would be fun to pull out the Mankind soundbite finish here, but Cena's been absolutely buried the last couple times out and probably is deserving, at this point, of a win. I suspect Batista will make his presence felt here, leading up to his big announcement Monday.

Andy McNamara

Cena was totally punked out by Orton during SummerSlam so I’m expecting some revenge. Orton retains with the help of Legacy. Cena passes out and the match is stopped, but he does not say the words “I Quit”.

SLAM! Predictions

Jon Waldman

This is either where Legacy is buried or they get one over on HBK and HHH, leading to the eventual (and seemingly inevitable) Survivor Series match two months from now. I can almost feel a return coming from Clique members X-Pac and Scott Hall. To properly do that match, you need two more younger generation guys to get involved, and who better than the Hart Dynasty. Let's play it like this -- Triple H is off fighting Rhodes in a bathroom somewhere (love the anywhere stip), leaving Michaels and DiBiase. HBK locks in the Sharpshooter, to HUGE boos, only for Smith and Kidd to run in and tear him limb from limb, allowing DiBiase to slap on the Million Dollar Dream. Maybe it'll be WWE's way of finally saying "we're sorry" to the fans of Montreal and finally closing the book on the Screwjob, once and for all.

Andy McNamara

Great build for this storyline. Rhodes and DiBiase looked great in defeat last month, but need a win here for the and to continue. If anyone taps it will be HBK, however, I have a feeling the youngsters get the raw end of the deal again. I’m hoping that future development thinking prevails.

SLAM! Predictions

Jon Waldman

Would it be an event in Canada if a Canuck didn't job out? Regal wins.

Andy McNamara

Hopefully we actually get a match longer then 7 seconds so that these two ring generals can put on a wrestling clinic. Regal steals the gold thanks to some outside help from Jackson and Kozlov.

SLAM! Predictions

Jon Waldman

This could actually be pretty watchable, since Henry and Show are decent in small spurts and MVP and Jericho are MVP and Jericho. Crowd will pop huge for the heels when they retain their titles.

Andy McNamara

Henry and MVP were both successful against the tag champs in singles action this past Monday, which usually means that the losing pair will prevail. Big Show and Jericho are too new and too good of a team to break up as champions right now. As long as Henry’s ring time is limited this should be a decent match.

WHAT YOU THINK
What match has you most excited from Sunday's WWE Breaking Point PPV? Punk vs Undertaker - 59% Orton vs Cena - 13% DX vs Legacy - 8% Henry & MVP vs Jericho & Big Show - 8% Christian vs Regal - 7% Kane vs Khali - 5%

SLAM! Predictions

Jon Waldman

Ever wonder what would happen if the world, simultaneously, flushed their toilets? We're about to find out. JR, if you're reading, it's time to shine up the bowling shoes. PETA loses.

Andy McNamara

Why oh why does this "rivalry" go on? This will be as wretched a confrontation as all their others. Maybe they can beat some wrestling skill into one another with those canes.
