CENA'S ACHILLES HEEL
Despite suffering an injury to his Achilles tendon in Europe, Cena competed on Raw last week and paid dearly for it, eating a spear from Roman Reigns to spell defeat for himself and Team Hell No in a Six-Man Tag Team Match against The Shield. Speculation has already begun as to whether The Champ will forfeit his title if he can’t defend it, but thus far, Cena hasn’t said anything. What will the 11-time WWE Champion reveal when he breaks his silence?

RENDER UNTO CESARO THAT WHICH IS CESARO'S
For a guy who just lost the United States Championship, Antonio Cesaro doesn’t seem to have any intention of lying down and letting himself get steamrolled by the rest of the WWE roster. He nearly bulldozed Alberto Del Rio into oblivion last Monday and mounted a title rematch against new U.S. Champion Kofi Kingston on WWE Main Event that, frankly, needed to be seen to be believed. Kingston may have ultimately retained the title against The Swiss Superman, but only after acting as Cesaro’s personal heavy bag for the better part of a half-hour and only before suffering a bitter post-match humiliation. Why the newfound anger? According to Cesaro himself, he’s tired of having things “taken” from him. Look for him to begin a long, grueling quest to return the favor.

HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE
It would appear that a certain group of somebodies have their eyes set on the WWE Tag Team Championships. Unfortunately for eight-month incumbents Team Hell No, those somebodies happen to be The Shield, who had their way with both Kane and Daniel Bryan on SmackDown and seemingly staked their claim to the No. 1 contenders’ spot as the show went to black. If the men in black truly aim to unseat the irascible anger management grads, Team Hell No will have their work cut out for them for a number of reasons, among them the fact that they’ve faced The Shield more times than most and have come up short in each endeavor. Are their days as champions numbered?

CLIMBING THE LADDER
The Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match is becoming one of the more interesting contests for Extreme Rules. Not only does the contest boast three Superstars uniquely suited to its rules — Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Jack Swagger are all Money in the Bank winners — but champion and challengers all also triumphed in singles action on Raw last week. There doesn’t seem to be a weak link among the trio as the bout draws closer. Will one of the competitors begin to show signs of weakness, or is the three-way stalemate destined to boil over when the opening bell tolls at Extreme Rules?

IT'S QUIET. TOO QUIET...
It’s been a couple of weeks since we heard from either Triple H or Brock Lesnar as their Steel Cage Match approaches at Extreme Rules. As anyone can tell you, this is probably not a good thing. These are two Superstars for whom silence is merely a prelude to unimaginable chaos. Will the two titans fire another salvo as their latest conflict draws nearer? And what, exactly, will it involve? Tune in Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network to find out.
