I know that 2011 is only half way done. But I thought I would look back and name some of the matches that should be nominated for match of the year when that time comes. Here they are in no particular order.
1. WWE Raw (1/3/11): Miz vs. John Morrison for the WWE Championship
2. Money in the Bank: John Cena vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship
3. ROH 9th Anniversary: Christopher Daniels vs. Eddie Edwards for the TV Championship
4. ROH 9th Anniversary: Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs The Briscoes
5. Destination X: Austin Aries vs. Zema Ion vs. Low Ki vs. Jack Evans
6. Destination X: Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn
7. Wrestlemania 27: Triple H vs. The Undertaker
8. ROH Best in the World: Eddie Edwards vs. Davey Richards for the ROH championship

Terri's Predictions for Money in the Bank
This one has honestly got me a bit stumped. Worse still is the ever looming fact that who I THINK will win does not match with who I WANT to win.
Mark Henry over Big Show (I'd rather Big Show win)
Mark Henry has been getting a heck of a push form WWE over the past month or so. And considering they did not "discipline" him for the throwing the music man off the stage incident, they must be ready to thrust him farther up the ladder (no pun intended). Also, Big Show has made a living over the last couple of years in putting guys over and making them relevant. Show even basically said so himself on Smackdown.
Kelly Kelly over Brie Bella
Kelly Kelly is a fan favorite (and my favorite diva). I don't think they are ready to let her end her reign quite yet. I predict Twin Magic won't work tonight for the Bella girls.
Christian over Orton (I'd rather Orton win)
This will happen because this feud has gone on far too long and Christian has tried way too many times not to come out the victor in this situation. Orton will get his rematch at Summerslam in some sort of match with a special stipulation.
CM Punk over John Cena (I'd rather Cena win)
There is just far too much hype surrounding Punk right now not to let him win, however, I do predict that his reign will be a short lived one. Whoever wins that Money In the Bank briefcase will cash it in on Punk tonight. Punk screwed Punk, LOL.
RAW Money in the Bank Match-Alberto Del Rio will win (I'd rather Kofi win)
This will prove to be an excellent match with the likes of Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston stealing the show. Unfortunately the guys best suited for this type of match are not heavyweight belt level in the company right now. I expect Del Rio to try to hide for much of the match but he will come out on top. I'm sure there will be a special guest appearance by his cheating personal ring announcer but.........you already know that, LOL.
Smackdown Money in the Bank Match-Sheamus will win (I'd rather Kane win)
Some guys in here like Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater will put on good performances but much like the RAW version, they are not at main event level so there is no way they will win. I expect Sin Cara to be the star of this match. His high flying style meshes well with this type of match and tonight he will shine. I think Sheamus will win because he has been working himself back up the ladder so to speak. I don't see Wade Barret winning as he is no longer exciting to the audience. I don't think Kane will win since he did last year but you never know....there is always hope!

Prediction for Money in the Bank 2011
This PPV is a hard 1 to predict, but I'll go the "easy" route LOL
1. Kelly Kelly, Orton, and Cena to retain their titles.
2. Mark Henery over the Big Show.
3. Del Rio and Cody Rhodes to win the money in the bank briefcases.

Results and Review of Destination X
- Kazarian defeated Samoa Joe
- Douglas Williams defeated Mark Haskins
- Eric Young and Shark Boy defeated Generation Me
- Alex Shelley won The Ultimate X Match
- Rob Van Dam defeated Jerry Lynn
- Austin Aries defeated Low Ki, Jack Evans and Zema Ion (Match of the year?)
- X Title: Brian Kendrick defeated Abyss to win the title
- Main Event: AJ Styles defeated Christopher Daniels
I guess Ill begin with the bad or not so good. First, the PPV was too predictable (except for a 1-2 matches). Second, the main event. Not that it wasn't a good match, but nothing was on the line except for bragging rights. No title, no stipulations, nothing. I think the main event should have something on the line.
The good and the great: Ultimate X was good, not the best Ultimate X, but certainly not the worst either (nowhere close). The RVD and Jerry Lynn match was very good, but I would not except anything less from those 2. TNA contract 4 way match. OMG. Match of the night and definitely a candidate for match of the year. A must see by any wrestling fan. The main event again very good match. Match of the year? Not in my opinion, but it deserves a nomination.
Overall I would give the PPV a grade of a B (guess I'm grading now).

Prediction for Destination X
Low-Ki will win the group match. There is no way that TNA won't take the opportunity to capitalize on a WWE star leaving, even if he was a star in the making and not fully established in WWE. Therefore, that match is a no brainer which makes that one the least interesting to me. TLR

CM Punk "Suspended"
WWE issued the following statement on their website, selling the CM Punk angle:
Raw’s abrupt conclusion Monday night was not due to technical difficulties. The decision to suddenly end the broadcast in that manner was made by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who gave this quote to WWE.com:
“CM Punk was suspended indefinitely for his unprofessional conduct as soon as Raw went off the air.”
With his WWE contract expiring on July 17, one can only assume that this suspension effectively terminates CM Punk’s tenure with WWE.
WWE has also pulled Punk's profile from their website.
