On behalf of the Wrestleview Staff, we would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the victims of the tragedy in Newton, CT. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Santa’s Little Helpers Battle Royal to determine the #1 Contender for the WWE Divas Title
Participants: Layla, Kaitlyn, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Tamina Snuka, Aksana, Rosa Mendes, Cameron, and Naomi
Evan O. – KAITYLN.
Anthony V. – KAITLYN. This time she will finally win the Divas’ title in her next encounter with Eve.
Greg M. – KAITLYN.
Josh B. – LAYLA.
Darragh O. – LAYLA.
Matt O. – TAMINA.
Grash – KAITLYN.
Jason N. – LAYLA.
Robert D. – LAYLA?
Dan W. – LAYLA.
CONSENSUS: LAYLA got the most votes with 5 out of the 10. Kaitlyn got 4 and Tamina got 1. The rest did not get a ringing endorsement by us.
Tables Match to determine the #1 Contender for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Evan O. – REY MYSTERIO AND SIN CARA.
Anthony V. – RHODES SCHOLARS. If it was Cody’s moustache vs. Sin Cara and Rey would go with Cody’s Moustache. Surprisingly it is more over than the four individuals in the match.
Greg M. – TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS.
Josh B. – REY & SIN CARA.
Darragh O. – REY MYSTERIO AND SIN CARA.
Matt O. – REY CARA.
Grash – TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS.
Jason N. – RHODES SCHOLARS.
Robert D. – TEAM RHODES SCHOLARS.
Dan W. – CODY RHODES AND DAMIEN SANDOW.
CONSENSUS: RHODES SCHOLARS 6-4.
Evan O. – CESARO.
Anthony V. – CESARO. There may be a time when I would go against Cesaro, but he won’t lose the title to R-Truth. It will be someone of higher value. Perhaps The Miz?
Greg M. – ANTONIO CESARO.
Josh B. – CESARO.
Darragh O. – ANTONIO CESARO.
Matt O. – CESARO.
Grash – R-TRUTH.
Jason N. – CESARO.
Robert D. – CESARO.
Dan W. – ANTONIO CESARO.
CONSENSUS: CESARO 9-1.
Evan O. – KOFI KINGSTON.
Anthony V. – BARRETT. It is his time to win another championship. Besides, Barrett would make a great IC Champion again.
Greg M. – WADE BARRETT.
Josh B. – BARRETT.
Darragh O. – WADE BARRETT.
Matt O. – BARRETT.
Grash – KOFI KINGSTON.
Jason N. – BARRETT.
Robert D. – WADE BARRETT.
Dan W. – WADE BARRETT.
CONSENSUS: BARRETT 8-2.
Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase
Evan O. – DOLPH ZIGGLER.
Anthony V. – CENA. I say he wins the case, cashes it in within 5 weeks and then we may get that Rock (who I regret will probably win the WWE Title) vs. Cena at Wrestlemania in a world title unification bout.
Greg M. – JOHN CENA.
Josh B. – DOLPH.
Darragh O. – JOHN CENA.
Matt O. – DOLPH ZIGGLER.
Grash – DOLPH ZIGGLER.
Jason N. – DOLPH.
Robert D. – I really hope……DOLPH ZIGGLER.
Dan W. – DOLPH ZIGGLER.
CONSENSUS: ZIGGLER 7-3.
Chairs Match
Evan O. – BIG SHOW.
Anthony V. – SHEAMUS. Not sure, but it could go either way. Just please no bad finishes.
Greg M. – BIG SHOW.
Josh B. – SHEAMUS.
Darragh O. – THE BIG SHOW.
Matt O. – SHEAMUS.
Grash – BIG SHOW.
Jason N. – SHEAMUS.
Robert D. – BIG SHOW (Big Question, will Dolph cash in? If so, TLC is not a good PPV for Big Show. Would be 2 cash ins in a row on him.)
Dan W. – BIG SHOW
CONSENSUS: BIG SHOW 6-4.
TLC Match
Evan O. – RYBACK AND TEAM HELL NO.
Anthony V. – THE SHIELD. It’s their first moment to shine in an “official” match. I expect maybe another individual or two to invade on Hell No and Ryback due to the stipulation of “win by pinfall and submission ONLY”.
Greg M. – TEAM HELL NO AND RYBACK.
Josh B. – RYBACK & HELL NO.
Darragh O. – TEAM HELL NO AND RYBACK.
Matt O. – TEAM KaBryBack.
Grash – THE SHIELD.
Jason N. – SHIELD.
Robert D. – Had to skip and come back to this match…a match that could go either way really. A match that could end in a No contest. (Jeopardy Theme) HELL NO/RYBACK Let’s just say them…
Dan W. – DANIEL BRYAN, KANE, AND RYBACK.
CONSENSUS: TEAM HELL NO AND RYBACK 7-3
