Barret Orton at Survivor Series

The stage has been set. At Survivor Series we'll see Barret vs Orton. The added stipulation to this match is that Barret will fire John Cena if he does not win the title. As far as I see, this a pretty clean cut result - Barret wins the title. However, it is never that clear cut. As far as I see it, there are four possible outcomes to this match.

1 - As above, Barret wins. Likely do to Cena hitting the AA or something on him. Pretty basic, but would work. Probability - Low. Barret is single handedly carrying the WWE on his shoulders at the moment (And I know not many people will agree with me on that one, maybe another article on that soon). I definitely think Barret would be a good champion, but he is likely too young for a clean win, especially with how dominant Orton is at the moment.

2 - Cena officially joins Nexus and turns heel. The way I see this one going down, Cena lifts up Barret for an AA. Cena sets him down, and instead hits one on Orton. Barret pins Orton. After the match the two shake hands or hug and Cena finally puts on a Nexus shirt. Probability - Low - I don't think WWE has the balls to turn Cena heel yet. They just might to counter the Jeff Hardy angle of TNA. I think a Cena turn would be bigger, but then the debate would be which was better, TNA's or WWE's. They wouldn't want to help TNA.

3 - Barret loses. Doesn't matter how he loses. It could end with another DQ even. The most likely result is someone running in to interfere, but the interference would cost Barret the title. At this point Barret goes to fire Cena and we end the show. The anonymous Raw GM now tells Barret he doesn't have that power. Cena tried, and he can't make magic happen. The GM frees Cena of his Nexus duties. We might even get to see the GM. Probability - Decent. It makes the GM actually like able for the first time ever, keeps Cena in the company, and keeps the belt off Barret for the time.

4 - Money in the Bank - That's right folks. The Miz cashes in the briefcase. The way I see this going down is Barret wins. Cena might even help Barret win. So Barret is champ and Cena is free. What better way for Cena to celebrate than by destroying Barret. And I mean completely lay him out. Three AA's, then a minute in the STF. What would be a better time to cash in Money in the Bank? I can't think of one. Now Miz isn't exactly a baby face, but he is probably more popular than Barret. Kids get to see Cena free and destroy Barret so they're happy. Older fans who like the Miz would be happy. So... Probability - High. This leaves a lot of people happy and sets up an awesome match for the next PPV, Miz vs Barret vs Orton vs Cena in a fatal 4 way match. The only downside is that the next PPV is TLC, and I'm not sure if a 4 way table match would work. Orton doesn't like ladders due to his shoulder issues. This would leave maybe a chair match, but I'd almost rather just see that match.

Either way, this match should be a good one. I hope they build up the PPV with some other good matches so that it's worth buying. This ending definitely has some potential and I'm looking forward to it.
