WWE News: Update on WWE Feuds After over the Limit PPV, Matches Spoiled?

Over the Limit takes place this Sunday, and being that it is the WWEโ€™s third pay-per-view in a seven-week span, the build-up to it does feel a little rushed.ย 

While we have a couple of potentially great matches (the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship matches) on tap, it still feels like the show is being used to set up storylines that will really take off after the PPV.ย 

Although we should be able to tell where these feuds are headed as soon as Over the Limit is finished on Sunday night, we might not even have to wait that long.ย 

Post-PPV advertisements could foreshadow what will happen at Over the Limit and beyond.ย 

"

The following matches booked for upcoming live events give an idea of the feuds WWE will be going with after Sundayโ€™s Over The Limit pay-per-view:

* CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan is advertised for the June 4th RAW Supershow from Greenville, South Carolina.

* John Cena is scheduled to face Lord Tensai and John Laurinaitis in handicap matches at RAW live events.

* Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio in Last Man Standing matches are advertised for SmackDown live events.ย 

"

Although this might indicate what feuds will take place and/or continue after Over the Limit, it might also mean nothing, as is often the case with these advertisements that are done way in advance.ย 

However, these couldโ€”let me stress that could partโ€”indeed indicate that CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan will continue after Over the Limit, and I actually think thatโ€™s likely.ย 

Given whatโ€™s gone on with AJ recently, one would have to think that she may get involved in the WWE Championship Match and screw either of the competitors over (I think itโ€™ll inadvertently be Bryan), thus extending the feud for another month or so. After all, No Way Out is expected to have a Cage match theme, so perhaps weโ€™ll see Punk vs. Bryan in a cage match that keeps AJ out of their business,ย 

As for John Cenaโ€™s feud with John Laurinaitis, I donโ€™t think these advertisements are spoiling much.ย 

No matter who wins the match on Sunday, neither guy is going anywhere, and Iโ€™d be willing to bet that this feud wonโ€™t end there, either. There are so many factors to consider in this matchโ€”Brock Lesnar, Lord Tensai, Big Showโ€™s firing, etc.โ€”that itโ€™s almost inevitable that the feud between Cena and Laurinaitis will continue through No Way Out and perhaps beyond.ย 

The only match Iโ€™m not sure of thatโ€™s being advertised is Sheamus vs. Alberot Del Rio because I think ADR is the least likely to walk out of Over the Limit as World Heavyweight Champion.ย 

I think itโ€™ll be either Sheamus retaining or Chris Jericho winning the title, and wouldnโ€™t be surprised if ADR has moved on to something else by then.ย 

Of course, I could be totally wrong about all of this, though. So, I guess weโ€™ll just have to wait and see.
