One of the biggest reasons we enjoy the weekend is more time with family and friends. We can make our weekends (and weeks) even better by spending more time being social:
This paper exploits the richness and large sample size of the Gallup/Healthways US daily poll to illustrate significant differences in the dynamics of two key measures of subjective well-being: emotions and life evaluations. We find that there is no day-of-week effect for life evaluations, represented here by the Cantril Ladder, but significantly more happiness, enjoyment, and laughter, and significantly less worry, sadness, and anger on weekends (including public holidays) than on weekdays. We then find strong evidence of the importance of the social context, both at work and at home, in explaining the size and likely determinants of the weekend effects for emotions. Weekend effects are twice as large for full-time paid workers as for the rest of the population, and are much smaller for those whose work supervisor is considered a partner rather than a boss and who report trustable and open work environments. A large portion of the weekend effects is explained by differences in the amount of time spent with friends or family between weekends and weekdays (7.1 vs. 5.4 hours). The extra daily social time of 1.7 hours in weekends raises average happiness by about 2%.

Now onto the WWE Title Match between John Cena and CM Punk.
It will be a well, hard-fought match with it being pretty even throughout the match.
CM Punk will kick out of Cena's Attitude Adjustment while Cena kicks out of Punk's GTS. The match will end with CM Punk getting a roll-up on Cena for the 1-2-3.
And as Vince declared, he's gonna walk up the ramp, and enter the ring.
But instead of firing John Cena, he states that Alberto Del Rio earned a Title Match on Raw, and that he was the No. 1 Contender at Money in the Bank.
So Vince will declare a match with CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Title, as Alberto did earn the rights to face the champ at Money in the Bank.
Obviously, Alberto Del Rio will win the match, thus making him WWE Champion.
This would make complete sense, as it's been advertised that John Cena will face Alberto at House Shows, Dark Matches, and rumors have even swirled that they'll be facing each other at Summerslam.
And remember, this isn't necessarily what should happen, although it would be pretty good in my opinion, but it is what I think will go down at the PPV.
