WWE No Way Out 2012: Start Time, Live Streaming and PPV Info

Vince McMahon made his triumphant return to Raw on Monday night and announced that the fate of John Laurinaitis is in the hands of Big Show. That's the main storyline heading into No Way Out as the WWE looks to build momentum toward SummerSlam.

There has also been an interesting love rectangle developing between CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Kane and Diva AJ. That should add plenty of intrigue to the WWE Championship match as CM Punk looks to extend his already impressive title reign.

The card also features three other title matches and an appearance by the Funkasaurus, Brodus Clay. He will take on Laurinaitis' henchman David Otunga on the YouTube pre-show. All told, it should be a pretty entertaining show.

Let's take a look at all the key information for the pay-per-view, including some predictions and analysis for the marquee event.

Main Event Preview and Prediction

Big Show has already saved Laurinaitis from getting the ax once by knocking out John Cena at Over the Limit. He'll have to do it again on Sunday night in a steel cage match against the WWE's biggest superstar if Big Johnny wants to avoid the wrath of McMahon.

While it would seem like a Big Show victory is guaranteed, you have to wonder if the company has started to lose faith in its general manager. The 1,000th Raw is right around the corner, and the ratings haven't exactly been through the roof. Laurinaitis' weekly gaffes certainly don't help.

That leaves an outside chance for a swerve to eliminate him from the picture, but no groundwork has been set up for a potential replacement, so it remains a long shot. Look for Big Show to beat Cena and save Laurinaitis for at least a little while longer.

Prediction: Big Show wins

What They’re Saying

Alberto Del Rio was removed from the World Heavyweight Championship match at No Way Out due to injury, according to WWE.com.

"

"The Great Khali did his chop to (Del Rio’s) head, which resulted in a concussion for Alberto,” said Dr. Michael Sampson. “He didn’t get knocked out, but he did have a memory lapse and also disorientation and a neck compression, which the MRI came back as nothing but a sprain."

"

Dolph Ziggler quickly capitalized to become the new No. 1 contender and will face Sheamus for the belt on Sunday.

whoever says its an honor just to be nominated are full of it! see you at #NoWayOut sheamus #AboutDamnTime

Undercard Match to Watch: CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Kane

The creative team has made it seem like the odds are stacked against WWE champion CM Punk in his latest title defense. Between making it a triple-threat match and adding AJ to the mix, there are myriad different ways he could lose the belt.

That said, I continue to believe CM Punk should hold the title until SummerSlam, which is one of the year's biggest events. He's enjoyed such an amazing run that it would be disappointing if it ended in a dirty fashion at a second-tier PPV.

Giving the title to Bryan so the feud would continue is the only acceptable reason for a change, but the company hasn't exactly shown a lot of faith in their ability to carry the program. So CM Punk should retain in an entertaining match.

Prediction: CM Punk wins

Which Star Will WWE Bury? Kane

There isn't a viable scenario where Kane would walk out of No Way Out as the champion, making his presence in the match pretty much useless. He's been floating around to different feuds in recent months, and he doesn't appear to have a real direction.

He's one of the best veteran workers in the company, but without a dominant run to build his character into a powerhouse—similar to Big Show's recent transition—it's tough for him to make an impact. He just hasn't been built like a main-event title holder.

Assuming CM Punk or Bryan win the title on Sunday night as expected, Kane doesn't have a clear path to his next storyline yet. Simply put, things aren't trending in the right direction for the Big Red Monster.

Star Unaccounted For: Brock Lesnar

It's been more than a month since Paul Heyman returned to the WWE as a representative for Lesnar to announce the former UFC star had “quit” the company. It was a way to write him off television for a while since he isn't working a full schedule.

With Triple H scheduled to appear on the show to talk about the Lesnar situation, it seems like things are starting to build toward a potential SummerSlam encounter between the two superstars in what would be a must-see match.

Even though no indication has been made that Lesnar would be at No Way Out, it wouldn't be a major surprise if either him or Heyman shows up. Either way, it's only a matter of time before he's back in the ring.
