Here's a look at Sunday's WWE pay-per-view:
John Cena vs. WWE Champion Randy Orton: This is a feud that should continue on for a little while longer. For that to happen, Orton needs to retain here. Will it happen? Probably. While it won't be a shocker at all if Cena wins, I see Orton winning to keep the feud going another month.
 
D-Generation X vs. The Legacy: It really seems like DX is a lock to win this one since they suffered a brutal beatdown this past Monday on Raw. Since I'm of the belief Shawn Michaels isn't back for a good amount of time, DX should win cleanly and easily here.
 
CM Punk vs. World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy in a TLC Match: Most insiders and WWExperts think Hardy is a lock to lose since he's about to take a hiatus from WWE. Don't put JAWBreaker in that group. I think Hardy will somehow win -- maybe with an assist from John Morrison -- and Hardy will then leave WWE -- leading to a Punk-Morrison program for the title. And let's not count Matt Hardy out of making a run-in during this match, too.
 
Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler: Dolph has gotten the best of Mysterio quite a bit recently. And while Dolph has a huge upside, Mysterio makes the fans happy. Thus, Mysterio will keep the strap.
 
ECW Champion Christian vs. William Regal: I can't see WWE putting the title around Regal's waist. Although WWE loves Regal, Christian should have the title and move on to a more interesting feud.
 
Cryme Tyme vs. Unified Tag Champions Chris Jericho/Big Show: I really want to think Cryme Tyme will win this one. While I give them a slight edge, I realize Cryme Tyme has huge odds (literally) against them. However, seeing how I don't think any other titles will change, I'm picking this one to change. But only due to Jericho and Big Show not getting along.
 
The Great Khali vs. Kane: Although this match was put together quickly, it was done effectively with Kane's attack on Khali. While this match will be also be quick, it will feature two big men which is always of interest. I see Kane taking this one, as he has more of an upside than Khali.
 
Jack Swagger vs. MVP: These two will likely be headlining PPVs before long. This match really could go either way. Swagger is cocky and a strong heel, while MVP is liked by the fans. MVP's push seems to be up and down a lot more than staying steady, and I'm picking Swagger for that very reason.
 
LATEST HEADLINES AND MY REACTS
 
WWE Breaking Point PPV to now reportedly only having submission stipulations for the top matches. REACT: Smart, seeing how most of the roster doesn't use submission finishers.
 
Kane said HBK-Undertaker (WrestleMania XXV) was the best match he has ever seen. REACT: Kane has seen tons of wrestling, and you can't argue his selection.
 
TNA Wrestling going back to taping bi-weekly. REACT: I always thought taping one month of shows in three days carried too many risks. Might this be due to Kurt Angle?
 
Eugene reportedly cut by WWE due to weight concerns. REACT: That's a shame, but I never thought Eugene had the normal wrestler physique to begin with.
 
"WWE Kids Poster Book" doesn't have Jeff Hardy on it. REACT: Hardy is obviously gone this month, and WWE obviously has no idea when he is going to return.
 
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Carl Ouellet said after a tryout before agents at a recent Smackdown taping, he was wanting to thank Vince McMahon and McMahon "shoved me into the wall like I was a piece of crap." REACT: Not sure what to make of this story. If true, there's nothing good about it.
 
WWE reportedly pulls DX's "World's Biggest Member" T-shirt. REACT: WWE is PG.
 
Ashley Massaro recovering from infection that penetrated her leg all the way to the bone. REACT: Ashley has taken a bad rap from the wrestling Internet. Best of luck in her recovery.
 
Eric Watts on Jeff Jarrett: "Horrible on the mic and just not one of your smartest people. He didn't want the competition. He wanted to be King of The Midgets." REACT: I wonder how many other wrestlers think this about Jarrett.
 
TNA Wrestling officials say Rhaka Khan is a bigger piece of work than Kurt Angle in the Khan-Angle fiasco, and that's why Angle is still champion. REACT: That would make sense.
 
Rumor of Dec. 29 release of "Marine 2" to have a pre-release late-November babyface turn for Ted DiBiase Jr. REACT: If The Legacy continues to grow, turning DiBiase would be stupid. A heel DiBiase might actually lead to more people going to see the movie.
