I have been reading through all the fourms and through all the blogs and it seems like a lot of people are upset that CM Punk won the MITB again. I will be the first one to say "Why?" It didn't make any sense for him to win the MITB bank again. I have been thinking with the draft coming up I think Punk will get drafted to Smackdown. What I think the WWE is doing is that they are going to draft Punk to Smackdown then he will drop the MITB Briefcase to Matt Hardy(Since he wasn't able to be in the MITB match). I don't see Punk winning the World title again this year and I think that Matt Hardy has good momentum coming out of Wrestlemania. If the WWE keeps the Briefcase with Punk I think he will be the first person to lose the title match. I don't see Punk dropping the case to anybody else, I think if the WWE was going to give it Christian, Shelton, or MVP, I think they would of had either of them win the MITB instead of Punk. So thats my theory about the MITB Briefcase.
My Draft Predictions
The WWE draft is next monday, so here is how I think the draft will go:
Smackdown will get:
Christian
CM Punk
John Morrison(I think they will break up Miz & Morrison)
Rey Mysterio(Taking the IC title with him)
John Cena(Taking the World Title with him)
Michael Cole
Raw will get:
MVP(Taking the US title with him)
Kozlov
Triple H(Taking the WWE title with him)
Big Show
Carlito and Primo
The Miz
Finlay & Hornswoggle
Hawkins & Ryder
Jim Ross
ECW will get:
The Brian Kendrick
Jimmy Wang Yang
Dolph Ziggler
Even if my predictions are wrong(which they probably are) I think Smackdown will get the biggest gain.
Wrestlemania Review.
I posted my original review on a fourm, but I watched the replay so I have a more honest review.

Money in the Bank
Rating: 7.5/10
I thought this was a good MITB. I was a little upset that Punk won but I am over it because Punk is one of my favorite wrestlers. I would of rather had Christian win it. I started marking out when I thought Christian was going to win. This wasn't the best MITB but it was still very entertaining. I thought Shelton Benjamin broke his neck when he jumped off the ladder.

Divas Battle Royal
Rating: 4.5/10
It was what it was. The Santino thing was stupid, but sadly it was still more entertaining than the main events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Handicap Match
Rating: 7/10
I was surprised by this match. When they orignally announced this match I was extremely disapointed. I was hoping Steve Austin would fight Jericho. But they shut me up. I was watching Steamboat and man he can still go. They might as weel should of taken Piper and Snuka out of the match and just had Steamboat fight Jericho 1-on-1. The Rourke thing at the end was mildly entertaining.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy
Rating: 7.5/10
I was expecting this match to be a lot better, it seemed like they rush the Hardys. But it was still a good match. I love the fact that they had Matt win. I like the ending with Jeff Hardy missing the Leap Frog over the big ladder, then Matt putting Jeff's head in the chair then giving him a twist of fate. I was satisfied with the match. I think both wrestler will beneifit from this match.

JBL vs. Rey Mysterio for the IC Championship
Rating: 3/10
What a waste. This match has solidified the IC title as a throw awat title. The IC title has no credibility. Punk and Regal build back the credidbilty of the IC title, Punk drops the title to JBL on a unadvertised match on RAW. Then JBL holds the title for three weeks then he drops it to Rey Mysterio in a 21 second match. WOW! What a waste. They only thing that was entertaing was JBL reaction at the end. The IC title will never be the same again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
Rating:10/10
There is only one word to describe this match and that is EPIC. One of the Best matches in Wrestlemania history. This match made the Flair/HBK match look like a main event on RAW.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edge vs. John Cena vs. Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship
Rating: 4/10
This match sucked. What a waste. Easliy one of the worst Triple Threat matches in WWE history. It was way to predictable, and it was extremely short. Thats all I got to say about that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Champioship
Rating: 3.5/10
I lost intrest in this match after they both hit their finishers 2 minutes in the match. It was extremely boring. I had higher expectations for this match. I thought that Triple H and Randy Orton would have had a good match to make up for the horrible build up. I was wrong. What made it worse then it already is, is the fact that Triple H retained the match. Just horrible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall the show was a decent Wrestlemania. It wasn't the best. I would have to give the overall show 7/10.
My Wrestlemania XXV Predictions
Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels build up.
I am very impressed with the way they are building up the HBK, Undertaker match at Wrestlemania. All the promos they have been having are complete gold. I love what the did on Smackdown with Shawn mocking the Undertakers entrance, then he goes on quoting bible verses. I havent seen this Shawn in a while. He was being extremely cocky taunting the Undertaker, its awesome. It reminded me of something that they would of done back in the Attitude ERA. I also like that they make it seem like Shawn is not intimidated by the Undertaker. They are making the Undertaker look harmless. I hope the match at Mania is exceeds the build up. This is the only good build up they have going on all three shows. I just hope they don't have a copout ending with DQ or something. That would completely ruin everything.
