I'm pulling for Team Authority personally, and I don't see them losing at all. Most of the talent on the team(excluding Kane/Henry) can't really afford clean losses right now.
The only thing I'm wondering is who's going to get to pin Cena.
I hope it comes down to Harper/Rollins vs Ziggler/Cena with Harper pinning DZ -> Cena pinning Harper after a nice long bout -> Rollins pinning Cena in some sort of cheap manner I'm assuming.
Team Authority will win. I see The Authority angle only culminating at Wrestlemania 31, as it should imo. My predictions on how the match and the eliminations will go (in no order):
Ryback will eliminate Kane.
Rusev will either be pinned after being hit with everyone's finishers from Team Cena (ala Big Show in 2001... it's sometimes the case that the biggest and strongest man on a team gets eliminated after everyone from the opposing team hits their finishers on him), or I could see Ryback or Cena whopping that ass so bad that out of sheer frustration, he grabs a chair and gets himself disqualified. If it's Ryback he attacks with the chair, I could see that being enough to weaken him so that a couple of members of Team Authority can finish him off.
Big Show and Mark Henry will fight to a double-countout.
Harper will pin Ziggler and then get eliminated by Sheamus, who will in turn get eliminated by Rollins (pulling of the tights, probably.) Either that, or to make Harper look like a true badass, he'll eliminate both Ziggler AND Sheamus, and then fall to Cena.
The match will come down to Cena vs Rollins, with Seth winning via nefarious means. Maybe Hunter will get personally involved and hit the pedigree on Cena or something. About the only reason I can see for him not being in this match. I know if my job was on the line and I was a 13-time world champion and one of the greatest stars of all time, I'd want to be personally involved in the match myself instead of simply putting faith in five other superstars.
Like I've said before, I can see Sheamus and Cena being the last two men. And knowing Sheamus is the one who desperately needs a heel turn, I can see him turning on Cena, allowing The Authority to win. We'll see how it goes in the end, tho.
I'm not sure we can be friends anymore.Maybe that's their way of starting the inevitable Cena/Rusev feud everyone's dreading? Cena pins Rusev in this 5 on 5 that "doesn't count as a loss" for some reason, and that's enough to upset the Floridian Russians... But the problem persists that not only will this turn Rusev face, but there's no possible way for Rusev to look good coming out of this.
Especially since the former Alexander has the US ti... dammit didn't you two say you were going to give that thing to Putin? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? Lana, bow before your great leader, get it out of your hands and off of our show! It sets your HP at 25%, you hold that thing long enough, you'll be doing clean jobs to Zach Ryder! Do you wanna restart the [HASHTAG]#RyderRevolution[/HASHTAG]? Hell no, go put that thing in a museum in Mother Russia or something... wait, Putin can't want it, Russia with the US Title in it will get invaded by Poland or someone
Sheamus turning is definitely something I could see happening, although I question whether it would make sense since The Authority's stooges just cost him the title in his rematch against Rusev last Monday. But I guess that's the whole point of a swerve. In my opinion, they should have already turned him heel earlier this year when he first won the US Title from Ambrose (they teased it, if you remember.)
Cena isn't going to turn on some half ass PPV like SS. The only two events I can see Cena turning on would be Mania or the night after Mania.Cena turning heel would be sweet, other than that don't care what happens
You missed the point. That would be the only way I'd give a shitCena isn't going to turn on some half ass PPV like SS. The only two events I can see Cena turning on would be Mania or the night after Mania.
