-Barrett is dressed to compete, so keep that in mind as he could end up on the card.
-They discuss the matches that they are looking forward too tonight.
-The theme of the conversation by the panel is that Cena has been on a run for 10-years, he beat the Rock at WrestleMania and may have peaked. Ryback in hungry and with Cena not 100%, he could be primed to lose the title.
–Miz vs. Cody Rhodes was the scheduled pre-show match. At 7:53PM ET I got the feed back, which allowed me to catch the final few minutes. Back and forth with counters to cross Rhodes, and Miz then won with the figure four, clean in the middle.
