Still can't get a read on MitB. Jericho's the 'safe' pick, but he's already over and established, no need to give it to him. Kennedy won last year, don't see that again. Maybe MVP? I don't think they're ready to give any of the other guys (Punk, Carlito, Shelton, Morrison) a big push quite yet. Bryan Alvarez (f4wonline.com) came up with the idea that Matt Hardy's close to return, so maybe they put him in the match at the last minute and heat the feud with MVP back up.
When they announced the match, I thought maybe they'd somehow sneak Punk back into the 24-man tag (since I don't think he'll win MitB) and give him the win over Chavo, but I think they're going to do something stupid like give the belt to Khali.

I'm with you, I have no idea about MitB. At this point, I predict they do a do-over and give it to Kennedy, as they were so high on him before his injury/suspension. Jericho doesn't need it (and he already had a title shot right after he came back). Carlito, Shelton and Morrison would make no sense, as no one right now really care about them. MVP makes some sense, but I'd give him a much better shot a year from now. As for Punk, it makes all the sense in the world to have him win it and start a several-months long feud with Edge, but they don't seem to want to give him the ball quite yet either.
