WWE Bragging Rights comes to you LIVE this Sunday night from the Mellon Arena, Pittsburgh at midnight exclusively on Sky Sports 1 & HD1.

Ahead of the Smackdown vs Raw themed event, skysports.com got the views of James Coyle on what he believes will happen on the night.

WWE Championship Anything Goes Iron Man Match - Randy Orton vs John Cena

The feud between Orton and Cena is at boiling point and will come to a head this Sunday at WWE Bragging Rights in an hour long Iron Man match. Both men have agreed that this will be their final battle and it's one that I'm particularly looking forward to. Cena has also agreed to leave RAW for good should he lose the match, which makes this a must win situation for the ex champion. Many of you may criticise me for favouring Cena yet again but I have a strong suspicion that he will win this match and regain the WWE championship, it won't be easy though as the Iron Man match is one of the most gruelling and brutal matches in the WWE.

World Heavyweight Championship Fatal Four Way Match - The Undertaker vs CM Punk vs Batista vs Rey Mysterio

The Deadman defeated CM Punk inside Hell in a Cell three weeks ago to win his seventh World Title. An irate straightedge superstar then demanded that he invoke his mandatory rematch clause but to his surprise, WWE chairman Mr McMahon announced a rematch in the shape of a Fatal Four Way including fan favourite Rey Mysterio and powerhouse Batista. In a Fatal Four Way match, the odds are stacked against the champion retaining. The Undertaker doesn't have to be pinned to lose his championship, so here I'm going for another superstar to pick up the gold, The Animal Batista.

WWE Smackdown vs RAW Bragging Rights Tag Team Match - Team Smackdown vs Team RAW

Before I make a prediction for this one, il recap the teams. Team Smackdown will consist of co-captains Chris Jericho and The Big Red Machine Kane, Shad and JTG of Cryme Time, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre and newcomer Eric Escobar. Team Raw will be headlined by Triple H and Shawn Michaels of D-Generation X, The Big Show, Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger and Kofi Kingston. Looking at both teams closely, it would appear that Team RAW have more strength and depth than that of the blue brand but can they keep it together after their fall-out on RAW this week? That remains to be seen. There's no doubting it will be a closely fought encounter with Bragging Rights up for grabs, but which brand will prove they are the superior? Im in the red corner for this one, predicting a victory for Team RAW.

Intercontinental Champion vs The United States Champion - John Morrison vs The Miz

The Intercontinental Champion John Morrison will square off against former tag team partner and "Dirt Sheet" co-host The Miz in what could prove to be the match of the night. Both young superstars have the talent to make this encounter a memorable one, and hopefully that proves to be the case. Picking a winner here is one that I have had to consider from every angle, both superstars have had great amounts of success on their respective brands of late, and both are carrying championships around their waist, but who will ultimately claim the Bragging Rights this Sunday? My vote goes to The Friday Night Delight John Morrison.

RAW Divas vs Smackdown Divas Tag Team Match - Melina, Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly vs Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix and Natalya

Six of WWE's most powerful Divas will have the opportunity at WWE Bragging Rights to prove which of the two brands features the smartest and sexiest, but more importantly the strongest women. Team Smackdown features not only the Womens champion Michelle McCool but also have an asset in the form of The Glamazon Beth Phoenix. Team Smackdown for me should be victorious.

JOHN "SUPERMAN" CENA ONLY HAS 3 DAYS LEFT AS A RAW SUPERSTAR BECAUSE THE "THE VIPER" RANDY ORTON IS GOING TO RUN LIKE A DISEASE THROUGH CENA AND THE WWE

I cant wait for Bragging Rights. I agree with the Cena prediction as I just dont see him leaving raw. I have never watched an Iron man match live on tv so this is a first for me. Im really excited about it, a match that lasts one hour my god it will be epic. I dont think batista will win the world title, i think undertaker will retain but it should be a good finish.
