The recent episode of WWE Raw had segments with interviews featuring WWE talent answering the question on who will win the WWE title match tonight at the Great American Bash.
The bout in question is John Cena defending his title against the number one challenger, Bobby Lashley.
The main consensus amongst those asked was that Cena would be victorious. I tend to agree.
This way of building up anticipation to the main event was a breath of fresh air. It has similarities to the approach the Ultimate Fighting Championship has started to make in the hype for their pay-per-view shows.
I'm not sure if it will generate a good buy-rate tonight but the idea is a good one and should be used to build up future main events because it adds prestige to the title belts and their challengers.
