WWE No Way Out 2012: Complete Card, Live Stream, Predictions, Rumors and More

While the majority of WWE fans are not getting excited about the 2012 version of the No Way Out pay-per-view, there is so much talent on this card that it's clearly people just being jaded.

Just as most fans expected Extreme Rules to be a train wreck and it was as good or better than WrestleMania 28, No Way Out will be one of the best shows of 2012.

If the fans can just watch the show with angry eyes, they will enjoy the ride.

What They’re Saying

No. 1 contender for the World Heavyweight championship Dolph Ziggler is ready for his shot at a real title run:

"

— Dolph Ziggler (@HEELZiggler) June 12, 2012"

Legendary commentator Jim Ross talks about just how good WWE Diva A.J. Lee is right now:

"

@wweajlee is the most interesting, new diva in WWE. AJ's evolved into a compelling TV persona.#crazytrain

— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) June 16, 2012"

Popular radio show Ring Rust Radio is more optimistic about this event than most hardcore wrestling fans (AKA smarks):

"

No matter what the #Smarks say, #WWE's #NoWayOut will be a great PPV. @CMPunk, @WWEDanielBryan and @HEELZiggler; do we need anything else?

Main Event Prediction

Big Show beats John Cena

With WWE.com speculating on whether Vince McMahon will be cleared to be at ringside and even more questions about Big Show’s job security, this match has all the signs pointing to a John Cena loss.

What better way to give the face of WWE a little time off than by having John Laurinaitis—the biggest heel in the company—fire him. That would get him off TV for at least a few weeks.

The company sees how much heat Show and Johnny Ace are getting and don’t want to throw that away. The WWE can bring Cena whenever they need him, but giving him a few weeks to collect his thoughts will be the best move for all parties involved.

Rumors

According to Wrestling Inc. (via F4Online for paid subscribers), the WWE officials familiar with the situation do not believe that Brock Lesnar will be attendance for the PPV.

With Triple H expected to address the situation with the lawsuits filed against the company by Lesnar and Paul Heyman, many fans speculated that there would be a run-in from the former UFC champ.

While that would be amazing, the WWE knows that more people will watch Raw the following night and would rather save that big of an event for the company’s biggest show.

Triple H will come out at No Way Out and address the situation, but we will see only see Brock if Triple H promises to be on Raw this Monday. Lesnar’s run-in will be on TV, not PPV.
