I've got so little faith that they're going to do a good finish that I've talked myself out of ordering it. I'm gonna watch the spoilers online, and if it reads like a good show I'll get the replay, but I have this really strong feeling that it's going to have an ending that's going to make me feel like I've had just about enough of Raw. And I really don't want to spend $50 just to be pissed off.

I hear ya.

Not really anything we couldn't figure out, but Meltzer's list of possible finishes:

--Some notes regarding tonight's match and the finish possibilities:
*Cena wins clean - Would be a disaster of a finish and not happening..
*Punk wins clean and then stays - Also unlikely, particularly the latter.
*Cena wins with outside interference and goes heel - If Punk leaves, then who does that leave as the top face on Raw? Rey Mysterio? Big Show? Not happening either. Now Cena winning with outside interference that Cena isn't aware of is possible. It would be better for Cena is to use that finish, but Cena gets a 1-2-3, and refuses the win with the idea that he risked his career after already winning the match.
*Punk wins and then loses to the Money in the Bank winner - This is the finish most seem to expect, and there are a number of ways to do this. He could beat one MITB winner by overcoming the odds and be easy pickings for the second. Or he could lose to the first with lots of outside interference including from Vince McMahon, who screws him at the end. Or he could beat both, and Vince sends a third guy out there. The latter finish would be the best if the third guy would be someone like Chris Jericho or Batista who is a big name but hasn't been on TV. As best we can tell, that is unlikely. Or someone other than Alberto Del Rio could win MITB (Miz would be the best to win in this situation), lose, and then Del Rio is put in again since Del Rio earned the title shot in the three-way. Either way, Del Rio would be the most logical guy to win if you don't have a surprise guy. First, he's not as over as his push yet and this is a show that a lot of people care about so it's a show you can make a heel in. Plus, Del Rio vs. Cena has been the SummerSlam plan all along, and this gets you there, and SummerSlam would be stronger with Cena as challenger and Del Rio as champion.
*The main thing working against some offshoot of the latter is the feeling that people would be predicting it. It may make the most sense, but there is the feeling that you have to surprise the audience, particularly tonight with the idea you're getting a high concentration of Hardcore fans (although if this angle really is to work, the highest concentration should be casual fans who aren't thinking much past Cena vs. Punk, who wins, as opposed to a bunch of shenanigans after the main event ends).

--Cena and Punk did their planned match on July 5 in Brisbane, Australia. They are doing a different finish tonight but the same body of the match, which involves kicking out of each others' finishers and the like, and went about 30 minutes. With Punk not wrestling for a while, he's going to leave everything out there because it's the biggest match of his career.

I don't think there's any way Punk leaves the arena with the belt. Which would consequently be the only finish that I think would shock me in any way. If I had to guess, I'd say it will be Punk winning via interference (he should win clean, but they won't beat Cena clean ever), and then losing to Del Rio to set up the Cena/Del Rio feud.

I don't think they can have Cena win clean because I believe there would be a legit riot in the arena...

What I would love to see, though, is an offshoot of a finish some random guy on the net proposed, that Del Rio wins Raw MitB, Sin Cara wins SD MitB, Cena beats Punk via interference (vince), Del Rio cashes in on Cena and then Sin Cara cashes in on Del Rio. He wins with Punk interference, unmasks revealing it's Daniel Bryan in Cara's mask (they could do it with Punk, but I think the size diff would be too obvious), and they leave together through the crowd, with Vince going nuts on the ramp.

That was brutal power bomb on Sin Cara. I don't get why they would try a spot like that. I hope he isn't going to die

Injury angle so he can run back in late in the match and win.
