4 man tournament on Raw, to determine Superstar of the Year

Quote :

WWE announced on their website that they will hold a four man tournament to determine the Superstar Of The Year Slammy Award winner.

Round 1:
CM Punk vs. John Cena
The Undertaker vs. Randy Orton

Finals:
Winner of the two matches face off. The winner will be crowned WWE Superstar Of The Year.

Taker/Orton was a great feud 4 years ago and I am looking forward to seeing their match tonight. Punk lost to Cena a couple of weeks ago, so I will be a little upset if he wins again tonight. Hopefully. Lucas Gallow will make sure that doesn't happen.

I hope Cena doesn't win...I wouldn't mind Taker either but I want Punk to win. His feud with Jeff Hardy is probably the best this year and the TLC match was amazing. I still wonder why the didn't nominate Triple H...but eh who cares. I hope Punk vs Orton main events for tonight though.

Orton over Taker via count out, sucked. Cena squashes Punk, sucked. Cena vs. Orton again, not a bad match, but Cena wins and that sucked.

Triple H hasn't done as much as Cena, Orton, Taker, or Punk. Punk, Cena, and Orton won the WWE/World title numerous times this year and Taker came back and won it, along with retaining it in a fata four way.

I don't think Orton beating Taker via count out sucks, albeit I didn't see it. With tournments like this, I always expect some kind of cheating or cheap win. It makes more sense that Orton would get a cheap win or cheat instead of Cena.

As much as I hate Punk getting squashed can't say I'm surpised. As I predicted, after Taker took the belt off from Punk, he lost what he built up and drifted down the card. In fact, it seems Punk is usually in the first match instead of in the middle of the card. I really think WWE has dropped the ball on Punk...again. Right now, he is being used as tools for R-Truth (from what I read, the reason for the feud what to get Truth over) and Luke Gallows. Although, I think that has been pretty effective, if I was in charge, Punk wouldn't have even lost the title to Taker and probably feuding with Batista or Rey at this moment. Just sucks to see this happen to Punk.

As for Cena winning, it makes the most sense. The slammies are used for storyline purposes only, and it builds Cena up (which I guess they don't even have to do) in his rematch with Sheamus.

Last year, they went with the unexpected and chose Jericho though and it was at the end of his WHC runs.

If I recall, Cena was coming back at that time and in his return match was against Jericho (in which Cena won) so I assume that was to build Jericho back up after having him quickly lose then win back the belt from Batista.

To me, the Cena choice is to obvious, especially since he lost the WWE Champshion the night before.

The thing I didn't like about the Taker vs. Orton count out is the match was very short. If they would have given it more time and then Orton gets the count out win, I would have been a lot happier with it.

Even though Cena winning was pretty obvious, I don't see a problem with that in the slightest. I mean, Sheamus won the belt at TLC, that's good enough for me.

I wonder what is next Cena and Sheamus? In 2006, Cena lost the WWE title at New Years Revolution, to Edge, only regain it 3 weeks later, at the RR. Will Cena take the belt right back or will someone else get a title feud against Sheamus?
