WWE TLC 2011 Predictions: CM Punk and Mark Henry Will Be Night's Big Winners

CM Punk and Mark Henry are not going to lose at this TLC event. That much is clearly predictable. The way they will win is not as predictable, but there are some good indicators as to what will transpire.

We already know these fights are going to be filled with drama, but who will be involved and how it transpire is up for debate. Here is my best guess.

CM Punk vs. The Miz vs. Albert Del Rio

Winner: CM Punk

There is no way anyone but CM Punk wins this fight. His era in the WWE has just taken hold, and he is going to get a little run as champ before something unforeseen happens to strip him of his title.

Del Rio has been getting his ass kicked all year by Punk. That is not going to change now. Del Rio will not be a factor here. The far more interesting angle is with The Miz.

Expect some big-time drama to raise the stakes in The Miz vs. CM Punk rivalry. However, Punk will not be stripped of his belt after having just won it at the Survivor Series.

Mark Henry vs. Big Show

Winner: Mark Henry

Mark Henry is going to get the chance to hold onto his belt for a while as the WWE continues to build this rivalry. Also, don't be surprised if they add a new face into the mix in this match. Is there a better spot to bring out the masked Kane than this match? 

You can expect Kane to make a late appearance here and make his presence known.

As far as the rivalry between Henry and Big Show goes, it has been developing for a while. This will be their third straight PPV showdown. Their two previous matches ended in non finishes. It is time to up the ante and crank up the drama.

Henry will prevail, getting a little more face time as champ, and he will also get a little help from the masked wonder, Kane. This will set up a fun dynamic between Big Show and Kane as well as Henry.
