While there will certainly be a lot on the line in 16 days time, a great prerequisite to the aforementioned All-Star clash that will be the upcoming SmackDown match between Randy Orton and Kane. Orton had a recent slip-up against Daniel Bryan on the latest edition of WWE Raw and while he was forced to tap out in the match, the nine-time World Champ certainly possesses the ability to get back to form but he'll have to do so against one of the most dominant and highly recognizable figures in the sport.

Sheamus and Damien Sandow are set to throwdown in the Dublin Street Fight, a match that pits two high-energy stars against one another in a battle where anything goes. A longstanding rivalry exists between Sheamus and Sandow and while The Celtic Warrior will certainly be the favorite to walk away the winner of this bout, fans can expect a strong showing from the former Ohio Valley Wrestling product. If it comes down to it, Sandow may even display his 'Silencer' move to finish off his Gaelic opponent.

In addition to Kane vs. Orton and The Dublin Street Fight, one of the most interesting Friday night matches will surely be a joint match pitting The Usos and Christian against The Shield. The Usos claimed a Number 1 Contender's Match on Raw last time out and now that their set to battle Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in a championship match, the team elected to help Christian retaliate against The Shield. The task of walking a way the victors will certainly tough for the team considering The Shield has only 1 loss in their career but because Christian will certainly be motivated, expect this match to be one of the best evening events.
