Elimination Chamber Predictions

Eimination Chamber PPV Predictions

02.20.11

Non-Title Match
Alberto Del Rio vs Kofi Kingston

This match really means nothing since the title is not being defended. I can't imagine Kofi winning against the challenger for the World HeavyWeight title at Mania either. Most likely some sort of outside interference by Del Rio's ring announcer but in the end I see the win by submission.
Winner- Del Rio

Elimination Chamber Match for #1 Contendership to WWE Championship
John Cena vs Randy Orton vs R Truth vs Sheamus vs John Morrison vs CM Punk
The survivor of this match goes on to Mania to challenge for the title. The most logical winner would be a face if Miz remains the champ. Cena will most likely prevail but I think Morrison would be the better choice. A Miz/Morrison feud heading into Mania just sounds better than anyone else. But I can't go against the obvious pick.
Winner- John Cena

Elimination Chamber Match for the World HeavyWeight Championship
Edge (c) vs Rey Mysterio vs Kane vs Wade Barrett vs Drew McIntyre vs Dolph Ziggler
This match just got a little more interesting because of the removal of Ziggler. The winner goes on to face Del Rio at Mania so just like the other EC match I see a face walking out victorious. I hope they add someone else to this match to even things out as well. Maybe Big Show, Christian, or even Jack Swagger. Could we have the Edge vs Del Rio match that we've been expecting or does Rey face off against his old rival? I think Rey is the better choice for a Mania build up so Edge can finish his feud with Ziggler.
Winner- Rey Mysterio

WWE Championship Match
The Miz (c) vs Jerry Lawler
It makes me cringe to think that Lawler could win the title. I like the King but his time has long long long past to hold any title belt. I see Michael Cole getting involved somehow to allow the awesome one to retain his title and head to Mania as the champ.
Winner- The Miz

Royal Rumble Predictions

Pay Per View Predictions 01.29.2011

These are my predictions for the Royal Rumble this Sunday from Boston, Mass.

Divas Championship 2 on 1 Handicap Match
Natalya(c) vs Michelle McCool & Layla
After a successful title defense against Melina on Raw, Nattie has to face her two biggest rivals once again. Either Vince doesn't think Melina deserved the ppv match or he believes LayCool are just a better fit. I personally think Natalya is representing the Divas title great but LayCool without the title just doesn't seem right. I can see LayCool winning here to start the possible feud with Beth Phoenix heading into Mania.
Winner- LayCool

WWE Championship Match
The Miz (c) vs Randy Orton
A lot of people like to bash The Miz for not being the typical champion but with the help of Orton, he has represented the title very well. Miz is playing that beatable champion part perfectly. This is one of the more memorable feuds for Orton over the year and I give both men incredible kudos for staying relevant during the whole Cena vs Nexus charade. I don't see Miz going to Mania as the champion but I don't think he loses here either. The Elimination Chamber ppv is a perfect setting for him to drop the title so he can proclaim he wasn't officially beaten for the gold. Alex Riley puts Miz at a huge advantage here and I just can't bet against him. He is well..... Awesome!
Winner- The Miz

World HeavyWeight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs Dolph Ziggler
I figured this to be an easy win for Edge. That was until Vickie added the "No Spear Allowed" stipulation which means if Edge uses his finisher then Dolph becomes the new World Champ. Being at that disadvantage, does Ziggler actually have a legitimate shot at winning his first main title. He was an incredible IC champ, he has been a work horse for the company over the last 6 months, and he is dating the current interim SD General Manager. All those signs would leave me to believe he has everything it takes to walk away with the gold around his waist. But here's the only problem; would Vince honestly allow Miz and Dolph to hold the 2 prestigues titles with his biggest pay per view right around the corner? And therein lies the problem. If this was at SummerSlam I would give the nod to Ziggler. Unfortunately, this is just bad timing for the young star. He has everything that it takes to be the face of the blue brand but I just don't see it happening at this ppv.
Winner- Edge

40-Man Royal Rumble Match
This is being advertised as the biggest Rumble in history. The 24th Royal Rumble now has 10 extra participants which to me only men one thing... more jobbers who don't stand a chance. But oh well. It could be the best match of the year as it really never disappoints. We haven't had a multiple Rumble winner for quite some time. The five past winners are Edge, Orton, Cena, Taker, and Mysterio. Orton and Edge are in title bouts so neither one can become muliti winners. Mysterio doesn't have the right story right now to win. Taker can never be counted out but I don't think he is going to be in the title picture at Mania. That's if he even makes it to Mania with all of his reoccurring injuries. That leaves me with Cena. All signs lead right to the Chain Gang leader winning this. For one, the Rumble is in Boston in which is where he is from and second, he has been the focal point of Raw since the beginning of Summer ala feud with Nexus. How about Triple H though? He has been rumored to make his return this Sunday. I can see him coming in just to eliminate Sheamus and re-spark that feud heading into Mania. Christian, Evan Bourne, and Chris Jericho could all make returns as well which is why this match is so damn special. Out of the 40 superstars, I must narrow this down to 5 possible winners. My top five are CM Punk, John Cena, John Morrison, Sheamus, and Alberto Del Rio.
Winner- John Cena

T.L.C. Predictions

 My Predictions for the WWE TLC Pay Per View on Dec 19th 2010.

#1 Contender Ladders Match
John Morrison vs Sheamus

The Shaman of Sexy seeks to dethrone the newly coronation King of the Ring in a contest of ladders. While both Sheamus and Morrison have completely different styles the ladder match plays to both of their strengths. Morrison has a platform to jump off of and Sheamus can use the ladder like a hammer to hit JoMo with. John is amazing on his own, but with a ladder I expect him to do some amazing acrobatics to help justify his #1 contender status. While Sheamus isn't anything to sneeze at he won't continue his legacy that he started last year at TLC. Morrison has a date with destiny at the Royal Rumble when he faces off against his former partner in crime.
Winner: "The Monday Night Delight", John Morrison.

Tables Match
Beth Phoenix/Natalya Neidhart vs LayCool

This must be a first; a diva's tag team tables match. It's going to be harder for either member of LayCool to put Phoenix through a table then for Beth to do the same. It isn't easy being skinny I guess. LayCool definitely isn't defenseless with their advantage on the experience front. Also there's a question of unity; can Beth and Natalya trust each other or will Beth want to make a statement with WrestleMania on the horizon?
Winner: Heart of the Phoenix

Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Kofi Kingston vs Jack Swagger

I always thought Ziggler and Swagger would make a great tag team. Kingston would make the best use of the ladder of the three however Swagger will soar to an IC title reign.
Winner: The All American American Intercontinental Champion

Chairs Match
John Cena vs Wade Barrett

Such a big match wasted with a stupid gimmick. Then again they're both big guys and could do some damage with a chair. Normal booking would have John get his revenge and that's the safe bet. Still, Barrett is the breakout star of the year and I wouldn't count him out. While I think the booking has been rushed I want to give a shout out to Barrett getting so pissed at Otunga that he would reinstate Cena to force Otunga in a match with him.
Winner: The women and the children aka John Cena wins

World Heavyweight Championship Tables, Ladders, Chairs Match
Kane (c) vs Edge vs Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio

Kane has been a dominate champion even though they've made him look like a bitch recently, Edge is the undisputed master of TLC matches, Rey can fly and Del Rio has been on a roll. I think Kane wins and starts a heel vs heel feud with Alberto Del Rio.
Winner: Kane

WWE Championship Tables Match
The Miz (c) vs Randy Orton

Last year Sheamus shocked everyone by defeating Cena and becoming the new World Champion in a tables match. The surprise win came earlier this year when Miz cashed in his MITB briefcase. The question is can Miz do to the Viper what Sheamus did last year to Cena? The answer is yes! The Miz will retain and it will be Awesome.
Winner: The Miz

WWE TLC Pay Per View Predictions

PPV Predictions 12.17.10

Here are my predictions for this Sunday's WWE TLC pay per view from Philadelphia, Pa.

#1 Contender Ladders Match
John Morrison vs Sheamus
These two square off for the third time to resolve this feud and it's for a shot at the gold. Sheamus may be the new king of the ring but Morrison looks to be on a good roll as of late. Could be a show stealer in my opinion and in all honesty needs to be a platform for Morrison. If he wins this match and Miz retains the title, we could have Miz vs Morrison at Royal Rumble. That makes me excited. Just Sayin.
Winner- John Morrison

Tables Match
Natalya (c) & Beth Phoenix vs Laycool
This makes me wonder if this is Vince's way of matching the knockouts cage match from impact last week. Just a thought to ponder. Anyways, I love this match-up. Two strong divas vs two sly/cunning ones. Beth and Nattie have a huge upper advantage and that makes me think they will lose. Somehow that gorgeous Lalya will figure out a way to save Michelle McCool and in the process send Nattie through a table.
Winners- LayCool

Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
Dolph Ziggler (c) vs Kofi Kingston vs Jack Swagger
A good triple threat match with three veterans of this type of stipulation. Swagger is a revent MITB winner so he knows how to overcome ladder matches with the odds against him. Ziggler has been champ for a long time and has no real reason to drop the belt unless he moves to the main event. Kofi is just Kofi and honestly doesn't need the title at this point. I'm pulling for Ziggler here just because if he loses the belt, he might be lost in creative over the next few months heading towards Mania.
Winner- Dolph Ziggler

Chairs Match
John Cena vs Wade Barrett
The re-hired John Cena gets his revenge against foe Wade Barrett. Wade actually asked for this match though. The big concern here is will Nexus get involved. I don't see how they wouldn't want to help out their leader and destroy the man who has been beating them down. This is a match where the odds will be stacked against Cena and yet he finds away to prevail. This chapter has been written before many, many times.
Winner- John Cena

World HeavyWeight Championship Tables, Ladders, Chairs Match
Kane (c) vs Edge vs Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio
You throw two heated feuds together into one big match and the result will be nothing short of impeccable. Edge and Mysterio will do some high risk maneuvers while Kane and Del Rio can cause some ground damage to their foes. This should be one brutal match with possibly an unexpected twist. Before I thought Edge would finally beat Kane but now with the Rey and Alberto in the mix, I might be leaning towards a first time champ in Del Rio. The man has made such a huge splash since coming to WWE and is deserving of the spotlight. It would just be a major twist in the business. The Rated R Superstar is still my odds on favorite.
Winner- Edge

WWE Championship Tables Match
The Miz (c) vs Randy Orton
It's so weird to type the Miz as champion but in a good way. The Miz has looked like such a beatable champion that I feel he has to win this one. There is a reason you have Alex Riley around so you can use him as a distraction. Orton would win a lot of his matches with help from Legacy so I don't see why Miz wouldn't do the same. Plus I am really pulling for this Miz vs Morrison match at the Royal Rumble next month. It's hard to go against my favorite wrestler over the last 3 years but this is the Miz's time to shine.
Winner- The Miz

Survivor Series Prediction

Welcome to my pay per view prediction for the annual fall classic, Survivor Series. This ppv was on the chopping block but is now the host of the biggest storyline of 2010. Here are my predictions on the current card for this Sunday.

John Morrison vs. Sheamus
These two should be in a traditional survivor series match but atleast it's some way to get them on the card. Morrison needs a good push to the main event level and maybe a feud with Sheamus is a way to do it. No matter what the outcome is, these two need to be injected back into the title picture in some capacity. A win here helps Morrison more than it would help Sheamus.
Winner- John Morrison

WWE United States Championship Match
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Ted DiBiase (w/Maryse)
A throw together match last minute for the 2nd most prestigious title on Raw. Stupid booking on the part of creative team. Bryan was supposed to feud with CM Punk before he was injured but having DiBiase inserted is ridiculous. At least have a #1 contender match to somewhat make it more deserving. No way does Bryan lose this match.
Winner- Daniel Bryan

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Dolph Ziggler (c)r vs. Kaval
The season two winner of NXT will take his title shot against the man who has perfect the sleeper hold. After watching a couple of Ziggler/Bryan matches recently, Kaval & Dolph should not disappoint. I'm a little torn of who should win here. On one hand, Ziggler has brought some good attention to the IC Championship but now it's time he moves on to the main picture. Kaval needs to hold a title to get some credibility in the WWE. If they don't have anything for Dolph in the near future than I would prefer he hold onto his gold.
Winner- Dolph Ziggler

2 on 1 Handicap Match for WWE Unified Diva's Championship
Michelle McCool & Layla (c) vs. Natalya
I've been picking her to win the Divas title for the past few pay per views and she always disappoints. Is this third times a charm? I hope so. With the Hart Dynasty splitting up, there is no need for Nattie to pick sides if she is the Divas champ and defending her title all the time. Double sharpshooter for the win.
Winner- Natalya

WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Nexus (Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater) vs. Santino Marella & Vladimir Kozlov
One of the most bizarre tag title matches in a long time. the Nexus duo should win here but if not I wouldn't be all that suprised. Just the thought of Koslov and Santino holding the titles makes me laugh which might be what creative is after.
Winner- Gabriel & Slater

Team Del Rio vs. Team Mysterio
Alberto Del Rio, Jack Swagger, Drew McIntyre, "Dashing" Cody Rhodes & Tyler Reks vs. Rey Mysterio, The Big Show, Kofi Kingston, M.V.P & Chris Masters
The one and only traditional tag team elimination match on the card. Looks like a good match-up of good guys vs bad guys. I see this coming down to Mysterio & Del Rio with Mysterio picking up the victory.
Winner- Rey Mysterio 

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Kane (c) vs. Edge
It's good to see the Ultimate Opportunist back to his old tricks. Even though Kane has been on such a hot streak as of late, Edge has the upper hand going into this match. With the distraction of Edge kidnapping Paul Bearer I think this is where Kane loses the gold. He was supposed to drop the belt to Taker but due to an injury that wasn't possible. I see Edge winning here and there being a 4 way ladder match at TLC next month.
Winner- Edge

WWE Championship Match (Free or Fired, Win by Pin-Fall or Submission Only)
Randy Orton (c) vs. Wade Barrett (w/ John Cena as Special Guest Referee)
A match full of stipulations. No Disqualification! No count out! Nexus banned from ringside! How is it possible for Barrett to win? Oh yea, he has an ace up his sleeve. If John Cena wants to keep his job then he must award Wade Barrett the WWE Championship. If Cena screws Orton from his gold then he will be relinquished from being Barrett's lackey for good. Thus will be a match full of close calls and most likely some outside interference. Even though Nexus is banned, I see the Miz getting involved in some capacity. I don't know if allowing Cena to be fired (kayfabe) is a good choice due to how the general audience would react. My prediction is that somehow Orton gets knocked out by outside interference which allows Barrett to pick up the win.
Winner- Wade Barrett

BraggiNg Rights PPV

Raw vs SmackDown. Red vs Blue. Carrot Top vs the Smurfs? This is the one pay per view a year when the brands face each other for superior bragging rights. There is a goofy Sir Stanley Cup trophy knockoff involved as well. Last year the Blue brand won the most matches to earn the trophy and the ego boost. Here are my predictions for the Bragging Rights ppv of 2010.

Brand vs Brand Match
Intercontinetal Champion Dolph Ziggler vs US Champion Daniel Bryan
This could be the one match that stands out to make this show worth watching. I give Bryan more credit than anyone on the roster as of late and it is so well deserving. Other than that bullshit squash match against Sheamus a couple of weeks ago, he has looked good in either his matches or promo work since returning at SummerSlam. Ziggler is another person high on my list of must see wrestlers in the business. He holds gold on SmackDown, dating an authoritative figure on that brand, and is destined to be around for a while as long as his ring work continues to grow. These 2 will mesh well together and we should get some dramatic close call finishes. I'd like to see Daniel win here but I have a feeling there will be some interference that swings in Dolph's favor.
Winner- Dolph Ziggler

Divas Championship Match
Layla (c) vs Natalya
Nattie gets another shot at team LayCool after that bullshit finish last ppv. Too bad they wont be given more than 5 min to wrestle because I think they could surprise some people with their move sets. I think this might be the perfect time for LayCool to drop the title. Layla loses the match and Michelle  puts her down so much that Layla turns on her. Either that or maybe a return by Beth Phoenix to help Nattie win to set up some good diva tag matches between the four. Either way I think Neidhart gets her first title reign on Sunday.
Winner- Natalya


7 on 7 Brand vs Brand Elimination Match
Team SD- Big Show (captain), Edge, Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, Tyler Reks, & Kofi Kingston vs Team Raw- The Miz (captain), R-Truth, John Morrison, Santino Marella, Sheamus, CM Punk, & Ezekiel Jackson
There are a lot of new faces in this year's match compared to the last. Some big surprises on both as well. Reks and Santino will be the first eliminated as neither really deserve to be there. This leaves some good match-ups. Raw's team overall doesn't look as strong as their competition but SmackDown has a lot of feuds going on within themselves that I think will ruin there chances. Hatred between  Del Rio & Mysterio and Edge & Swagger will jeopardize them winning the trophy this year. Raw has the one key player on their team that will out shine everyone and his name is The Miz. Not only is he cunning when it comes to winning big matches (ala MITB) but he has that Alex Riley guy in his back pocket who can distract a SD wrestler long enough to help Miz pull out the victory. Plus it helps put Miz over even more into the Awesomeness category (not like he needs it).
Winner- Team Raw

Random pic of hottness...

WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton (c) vs Wade Barrett (w/ John Cena)
One of the best champions over the past few years vs the possible future of the company duking it out for the prestigious gold. Orton has looked strong since defeating Sheamus for the belt but Barrett has had some major wins in his column as of late. Wade defeated the great John Cena last ppv in which forced Cena to be his little slave boy. With the C-Nation now part of Nexus, this could be the one chance Barrett has at defeating the Viper. I never thought Sheamus would win the title at such a short period in the company so I can't rule out the chance for the leader of Nexus this Sunday. Now put Cena in his corner and he now holds the bigger stack of chips against the current champ. Hopefully it ends up Cena either costing Barrett the title or Orton RKO'ing Wade and Cena one after another to get the pin fall.
Winner- Randall Orton


World HeavyWeight Championship (Buried Alive Match)
Kane (c) vs The Undertaker
A little surprised at this type of match in the PG era but it is a good way to end this current feud. One person will be buried and result in (most likely) some time off. If Kane loses, I think he takes a mini vacation and returns at Rumble or if Taker loses then have him only be gone for a few weeks and return to cost Kane his title at the next ppv. I love Kane's title reign as it has been well deserving for such a long career and this could be the perfect way to lose the title. To his brother in a match that suits both characters. Undertaker looks to be making his last run in the business so maybe a title reign for the next couple of months would be fitting. Also, Taker is one of the best to put over young stars and losing the title at a ppv to an up-and-comer could work.
Winner- The Undertaker

Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!

Bragging Rights

Brand vs Brand Match:
Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs US Champion Daniel Bryan
Two of the WWE's most promising young stars face off to to prove the supremacy of their respective titles. These are both guys who the wwe seems to like but are hesitant to really get behind. Both of these guys have momentum and need to win but I would say Ziggler needs the win a little bit more. Still, it seems they have more plans for Daniel then they do for Ziggler.
Winner: Ziggler

Divas Championship Match:
Layla El (c) vs Natalya
It's good to see Natalya's push continue and the Diva's championship get contested with an actual feud. Between them pushing Natalya and NXT season 3 being all divas I wonder if this is the start of the WWE caring about woman wrestling again. Natalya may win by dq but lay-cool will keep the belts and next month there will be a three way match with both members of Lay-cool and Natalya
Winner:Natalya by dq
7 on 7 Brand vs Brand Elimination Match:
Team SD- Big Show (captain), Edge, Rey Mysterio, Jack Swagger, Alberto Del Rio, Tyler Reks, & Kofi Kingston vs Team Raw- The Miz (captain), R-Truth, John Morrison, Santino Marella, Sheamus, CM Punk, & Ezekiel Jackson
Why have this match so close to survivor series? Smackdown's team looks much more impressive on the surface but Raw's team has potential. I kinda wish the WWE played a little more with the history of the guys in the match. Like how Big Show and Edge both used to date Vickie or Edge and Rey Mysterios former run with the tag titles or Showmiz or the dirt sheet. The real question in this match is which team will disintegrate first and if Nexus will make an appearance.
Winner: Raw(big Zeke)

WWE Championship Match:
Randy Orton (c) vs Wade Barrett (w/ John Cena)
Wade Barrett finally get's his title shot and I think he might win it. The question is dose the WWE want to give another wrestler their first world championship in a year. Unlike Swagger and Sheamus, Wade Barrett is going into his potential title run looking like a legit maineventer. Having a solid group behind you that includes John Cena doesn't hurt either. He looks like he could win. Then again, he's going up against Randy Orton who seems to be the most over face in years and has more than enough experience with gang warfare. It could go either way.
Winner:Wade Barrett

World HeavyWeight Championship (Buried Alive Match):
Kane (c) vs The Undertaker
I feel this feud should of ended last month and Kane should be facing Orton here, but whatever. To put it short I think Undertaker wins here even though I think there's more mileage left in Kane's title run then with Taker as champion.
Winner: The deadman.

Hell In A Cell '10

This Sunday is the WWE's pay per view Hell in a Cell. With only 2 weeks in between pay per views, we are about to embark on a another concept/gimmick Sunday night which has a few titles up for grabs. Here are my predictions for the card as it stands right now since there is always the possibility of change last second.

Unified Divas Championship
Michelle McCool (c) vs Natalya
Not sure why McCool gets the title match two pay per views in a row. I think LayCool will pull out the win but in my heart I must cheer for Natalya in her first championship match.
Winner- Michelle McCool

US Championship Submissions Count Anywhere Match:
Daniel Bryan (c) vs The Miz vs John Morrison
This is a great triple threat match but I feels it's way too rushed. The Miz deserves his title rematch and Morrison is taking some of the personal hatred out of it. Does Miz or Morrison even have a good finisher to pull off a win? This is a match that needed at least 4 weeks to build towards to showcase Miz and Morrison being able to go toe to toe via submission with Daniel Bryan. It will start out with Morrison and Bryan brutally attacking Miz for the first 5 min leading to Morrison turning on Daniel when he puts Miz in the LeBelle Lock. There should be some "Holy Shit!" moments outside of the ring but in the end, Daniel Bryan should walk out still the US Champ.
Winner- Daniel Bryan

World HeavyWeight Championship Hell in a Cell Match:
Kane (c) vs The Undertaker
These are two of the biggest superstars of the last decade. The brothers of destruction face off once again the the beloved gold that Kane has held for a few months and hasn't looked more dominate since his mask was on. Kane had the upper hand at NOC ppv but the Undertaker has been rejuivinated by the return of Paul Bearer. The man who carries the urn can give the Deadman his evil powers back but is it enough to defeat the current champion. This is the only match that should be a hell in a cell match. It's referred to Taker's playground and I'm sure this will be one brutal fight. Undertaker could win the title and carry it for a few months to allow Kane to be more involved in the Bragging Rights and Survivor Series pay per views. Or does Kane win and help set-up a future WrestleMania match? We are looking at a win-win situation here. I love Kane's title reign since it's more than well deserving but I think Taker is looking at calling it quits within the next 6 months. If Kane loses here, I'm also afraid he gets shuffled back to jobbing out to younger guys by Rumble. Bearer give Taker the upper hand and it's almost too obvious.
Winner- Undertaker


Random pic of hottness... 

WWE Championship
Randy Orton (c) vs Sheamus
Now this is a perfect example of a match to end a feud. This will go back and fourth with some close finishes but in the end the Viper will prevail. I just can't see taking the belt off of him after just 2 weeks and the fact that he's the golden ticket on Raw right now. Unless Jericho would be fooling us all and somehow gets involved, I see Orton giving Sheamus a few RKOs in a dominating fashion. Hell maybe even a punt which leads to Sheamus going to SmackDown in a few weeks to freshen up that show.
Winner- Randy Orton

John Cena vs Wade Barrett
This match has some serious stipulations attached to it. First off, Nexus is banned from ringside via orders from the mysterious Raw GM. The outcome of this bout is where things will be shaken up. If Cena wins then Nexus must disband which could lead to some of the members going into single paths or tag teams on Raw or SmackDown. But what if Mr. Barrett pulls out a surprising victory? John Cena will be forced to join the group in which he vowed to take out one by one. Honestly, this is the way I am leaning towards. The rules state that members of Nexus can't interfere in the match but what about a mystery assailant or say a NXT season 2 rookie that is looking for an opportunity to join the group? Say, Mr Perfect Jr? If this would occur, Cena could go the path of destroying the faction from within. Another way to go is the anti-hero heel Cena that we have all heard the rumors about for the past 3 years. I know Cena is a huge marketing tool for the WWE but look at what Hogan did for WCW when he stepped over that invisible line between good and buy guy. With Randy Orton becoming the top face on Raw these days (even though its a bad ass face like Stone Cold was) it could be the perfect time for the chain gang leader to switch up his look a little bit. Heel turns can be a big boost in one's fan base. The last person to go full heel that took his character to all new highs was Batista. He may have been hated by the under 12 year old's, but his promo and in ring work went to levels of amazing. Anyways, back to this match-up. Barrett can hold his own against Cena and it should be a good back and fourth bout. I have a bad feeling about Cena winning but I'm praying for a heel turn.
Winner- Wade Barrett

Night of Champions Predictions

This Sunday the WWE presents their yearly Night of Champions pay per view in which every title must be defended.. These are my predictions for the matches as of right now as the card is always subject to change.

CM Punk vs Big Show
This match really serves no purpose on a ppv dedicated to only titles being defended. Hopefully this is WWE's way of ending this feud so these men can either get into the main title picture on SD or take some time off. The Big Show should lose this match and focus on promoting his upcoming film, Knucklehead, and CM Punk should come out looking strong and take SES to the world title match next ppv. Show has had the upper hand against SES lately so Punk needs to win this one cleanly.
Winner- CM Punk

WWE Tag Team Title Match
Hart Dynasty vs ?
I think they will throw Dashing Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre against the Harts but I wouldn't be suprised if it was a 4 way tag match. Santino/Koslov and maybe the Uso Brothers could be involved that way. I didn't realize that the Harts have had the belts for 5 months now and maybe that's because the titles are never defended. If they change hands I want Rhodes and McIntyre to hold them but only if that means we get  those two on Raw on a regular basis. But since there are no opponents as of yet, I must give Bret's apprentices the nod.
Winner- Hart Dynasty


Unification Lumber-Jill Match
WWE Divas Champ Melina vs WWE Women's Co-Champ Michelle McCool
So the WWE has ruined the divas divison and this is their way to make things a bit more interesting. I would have preferred Divas tag titles but who would Maryse want to team with to win those. Melina is always strong in the ring but McCool has that little fiesty partner always lurking to help interfere. Either Layla helps Michelle win and they feud over who is the real champ or Layla costs McCool the match and they feud that way. Either turnout it should be the demise of LayCool down the road.
Winner- Michelle McCool

Random pic of hottness...

IC Title Match
Dolph Ziggler vs Kofi Kingston (Dolph will lose title if counted out or DQ'd.)
When I originally wrote this prediction I had Kofi pulling out the win mainly because Ziggler has only managed to hold on to this title by pulling shenanigans. That in itself should mean a clean victory over Kofi would legitimize him as a good IC champ. Plus Kofi wears a head band around his neck and that just bothers me on so many levels. Ziggler needs to either take Kofi out with a sleeper hold (which is so epic for the win since it's such a basic move) or the Zig-Zag. No help from Vickie, that hot ass cougar in his corner, or that new eye candy Kaitlyn.
Winner- Dolph Ziggler

US Title Match
The Miz vs Daniel Bryan
If there was one match that made me want to purchase this ppv, it's hands down this one. There is only one problem; it won't last for more than 10 min. There are so many matches on this card that this one will get a limited amount of in ring time to really put on the performance that both these men are capable of doing. Other than that, it's still a must-see match-up. I hope Alex Riley some how gets involved in this match so Bryan has an excuse for a rematch at Hell in a Cell ppv next month. That's where Bryan should win the title so Miz can cash in his briefcase.
Winner- The Miz (because he's awesome and I can't argue with that)

World HeavyWeight Title Match (No Holds Barred)
Kane vs The Undertaker
A brother's feud that has been reopened, but in PG! These two men have had epic battles in the past but the attitude era is over so no more catching each other on fire or burying the other one alive. This will be a good ol' fashioned squared circle beat down. The odds are always stacked against the Undertaker's opponents in any match but it seems like Kane's title run has been very dominant. After watching the Deadman struggle to beat CM Punk last week on SD, I don't see how they can give Taker the belt. The little brother needs to prevail this time.

Six Pack Elimination Challenge Match for WWE Title
Sheamus vs Edge vs Chris Jericho vs Randy Orton vs John Cena vs Wade Barrett
This is the hardest call of the night. Not only because of six possible winners but six possible story-lines that could result. Sheamus could win and finally look like a strong champ since he always seems to win out of luck (Irish luck that is) and maybe result in Triple H returning to challenge him. Edge could win since he hasn't been champ in a long time which could make things interesting. Have Ryder become his lackey once more and do his dirty work. If Jericho wins then it just proves once more that he is the best at what he does. I love Y2J with the belt because it puts his heel character at even a higher level. Orton winning the championship is almost too obvious. I would like to see him champ but rather at Survivor Series than NOC. But if Raw wants to improve ratings against Monday night football then having your most "over" wrestler with the strap could be a good thing. If Cena wins then I will shake my head in displeasure. He doesn't need or deserve the title at this time. Cena as champ really serves no purpose story-line wise other than Nexus being involved. Barrett seems like the biggest long shot but it would really put Nexus at a whole new level. Wade with the title would make Nexus this era's 4 horseman type of faction. If Barrett would win the title than the other members need to capture other gold like the US and Tag Titles to really put them over. My gut says to play it safe with Sheamus retaining but I really love the concept of Barrett being champ.
Winner- Sheamus


Until Next Time...

Money.In.The. Bank.

Money in the Bank has been a highlight of every WrestleMania of the past 5 years. This match has given us some of our biggest stars and most spectacular moments. Like King of the Ring before it, it has catapulted many mid carders to super stardom. In fact, it has a 100% of the time in so much as every individual who has cashed in their money in the bank briefcase won a would championship.



However, I would be remiss if I didn't point out a few things. While an amazing concept match, I feel having giving it its own ppv is a mistake. A large part of the MITB's greatness was that you never knew when it was going to be cashed in or which champion it would be cashed in on and having two at the same time may add to some fun moments but I feel ultimately would kill some of the suspense. Besides, wouldn't it have been more prudent to have a war games ppv instead where team Cena fights team Nexus.Now for the predictions.

UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: The Hart Dynasty vs. the Uso's



This match makes me sad for the tag division. The Uso's have been great since their debut, same with the Hart Dynasty. Still, you cant have a solid division with just two teams. I'll go with the hart dynasty on this one because I feel the belts will get caught up in the nexus storyline and there aren't really any face teams to challenge the USO's

Winners: Better then the best.



DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:Alicia Fox(c) vs. Eve



It's kinda remarkable that this match doesn't feature a blond. The diva division on Raw may feature the most diversity of any division in all of pro wrestling history. Alica Fox needs a win, but i don't think the wwe really cares.

Winner: Eve by DQ



WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Layla(c) vs. Kelly Kelly



Wow, 2 women's matches on one card, Let's see if combined they'll get 5 minutes. After the draft, I was excited for the smackdown woman's division. It looked like they started to care. That didn't exactly pan out. Still, they've done an all right job building to this match so let's see what happens.

Winner: Layla



WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Rey Mysterio(c) vs. Jack

Swagger



Jack Swagger was robbed by the masked man. Now, he gets his title back. This is going to be a nice juxtaposition of styles with Swagger's size and armature background and Mysterio's speed and power of flight. Swagger should win here,but I'm counting on a non finish and for Swagger to reclaim his title at Summerslam.

Winner: The 6!!!! 1!!!!! 9!!!!!



STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP: Sheamus(c) vs. John Cena



I really can't tell you. It .could go either way. We may even get a third participant. We may get a face turn for Sheamus. It's all really about Nexus. Yea.

Winner: Sheamus?



RAW MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH: Randy Orton vs. John Morrison vs. Mark Henry vs. Evan Bourne vs. Ted DiBiase Jr. vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. The Miz



Orton: Has his feud with Edge and has Bourne out for him. Would be perfect person to have something like MITB, you'll never know when he will strike.



John Morrison; My personal favorite for this match and he should spectacular in it. He's in the same spot where Edge and Punk was when they first won threes. Still, I don't think Vince sees it as his time.



Mark Henry: He may end up winning just as a WTF moment and he wouldn't exactly be a bad person to hold it.



Evan Bourne: Coming in with some momentum and part of me thinks he'll win. Even if he doesn't this could be a star making performance for him, just call him Shelton Benjamin 2010.



Ted DiBiase Jr.: Big match for him, but I don't see him winning. Then again who saw swagger winning.



Jericho: Chris Jericho with the briefcase would be a lot of fun. He doesn't need it, but hey why not?



Edge: Poor Edge. He's been in two feuds this year that should have been great but both have underperformed. Not to take away from his history with Money in the bank because no one has more history with this then him, but both Orton and Jericho have beef with him and every1 else sees him as the #1 threat. Still, if there's an opportunity open...

The Miz: The only reason the miz won't win is because it would be obvious. This is his night.

Winner: Hard match to call as in everyone could win, but I have to go with the Miz.


SMACKDOWN MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH: Big Show vs. Matt Hardy vs. Christian vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Kane vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler

Big Show: Seriously, do they have a latter that wont break? Dose he even need one? I like show I was excited to see him get a title shot when he came to Smackdown, but I don't see him winning.

Matt Hardy: My initial instinct is no chance in hell, but if he will ever get a shot at the main event this is it.

Christian: My personal favorite for this match. Smackdown could use another main eventer and it's his time and his kind of match. He has shown the same kind of heelish attitude Edge had when he first won the briefcase.

Kofi: Should be great int his kind of environment and the wwe has shown this guy some love so he could very well win this here.

Cody Rhodes: I like his solo run better than his former partner and but I don't see him winning.

Kane: One of the most underrated guys in the biz, but his time in the main event I think is over.
Drew McIntyre: Apparently being the chosen one is not just a gimmick as he was apparently scheduled to win MitB at mania and here before his visa troubles. I think it would be a mistake to give Drew this kind of push now.
Dolph Ziggler: Poor guy can't seem to catch a break. He's got all the tools to be a star and this would be the perfect chance to give him a shot.
Winner: Christian

Money In The Bank Preview

This Sunday, the WWE is taking their fan favorite concept match from WrestleMania and forming it's very own Pay Per View gimmick. The Money In The Bank matches have given us some of the greatest "Oh My God!" moments and has been a launching pad for so many young stars. Would Edge, CM Punk, and the latest winner Jack Swagger been given such a huge push without their victories? Who's to say. But by holding a  briefcase that grants them a championship match at anytime & anywhere, it's the perfect opportunity to win a top title. Will Edge or Punk once again walk out victorious or will a new main eventer be born by standing tall on top of the ladder? My Pay Per View Predictions...

UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
The Hart Dynasty(c) vs. The Usos
 This feud has been dragged out so much as of late and hopefully this match ends the sharade. The Uso's are the new bullies on the block and even though are very talented on the mic, they haven't shown anything too special in the ring (at least in tv matches). The only way I see the Harts dropping the titles is a.) Tamina gets involved and the finish is dirty or b.) the 'E wants the a rematch to happen at SummerSlam. I still lean towards the Harts and the beautiful Natie to pull of the 'W'.
Winner- The Hart Dynasty


DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Alicia Fox(c) vs. Eve
Apparently the WWE is really big on Alicia's work and look. Tall, beautiful, and bad ass finishing move. It doesn't really matter who walks away the winner because Melina will be back any day now and she's top diva in my book. I'll say Fox pulls out a foxy finish.
 Winner- Alicia Fox


WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Layla(c) vs. Kelly Kelly
I don't get how they announce them as co-champions on SmackDown but yet Layla has to defend her title solo. Doesn't seem fair. I hate to see LayCool lose the gold but Kelly Kelly is so over with the crowd that they don't even remember Mickie James anymore. Layla should retain but this will be my shocker of the night.
Winner- Kelly Kelly

Diva Break...

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Rey Mysterio(c) vs. Jack Swagger
Rey suprised us all by winning the title at Fatal 4Way since he's was rumored to be taking time off to heal up. By having the masked warrior winning, it seems that Rey is healthy enough for a title run and I don't see any reason for him to lose the gold right back to Swagger. If the Undertaker was to return next month then I'd say Swagger wins here so they could feud. If Rey drops the belt then it was a poor choice for him to win in the first place.
Winner- Rey Mysterio


STEEL CAGE MATCH FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
Sheamus(c) vs. John Cena
The somewhat boring guy vs jar of mayonnaise. I would prefer seeing Sheamus walk into SummerSlam the champion but without Cena in the main event could lower buy-rates for the WWE. Having Sheamus lose the title would make his second reign look even more like a fluke then his first did. I say let the young cat walk into the Summer's biggest stage as the champion to see if he has what it takes to become top heel. And if this match is last on the card, maybe a suprise "cash in" could happen and a first time champ could be crowned. That'd shock the hell out of some fans.
Winner- Sheamus


RAW MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH
Randy Orton vs. John Morrison vs. Mark Henry vs. Evan Bourne vs. Ted DiBiase Jr. vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. The Miz
This is the more top "dogs" match and will probably be less hardcore than the SD version but after seeing Orton RKO Bourne mid-air, I think this match could the better of the two. All these guys will probably hit their finisher atlerast once if not multiple times. Randy doesn't need a briefcase for a title shot, he's the viper and does what he wants anyways. Morrison is almost there but winning won't put him over. Henry doesn't have a shot in the dark. Bourne is a rising star in the company and his stock keeps growing in popularity. I could him winning only to be the first MITB holder to lose when he cashes in. DiBiase would look good holding a gold briefcase and rub it in everyone's face. Plus, Maryse gives him an upper hand in my book. Jericho, like Orton, really doesn't need to win since he's always a contender. Also Y2J might be taking time off this fall to tour with Fozzy so it doesn't make much sense for him. This leave Edge and Miz. My two favorites to be victorious for different reasons. Edge because he has mastered this type of match and has made "cashing in the briefcase" so damn interesting. I mean, there is a reason he's called the Ultimate Opportunist. The Miz on the other hand, with the win, would bump up to the next level which is where he needs to be as a legitimate threat for the WWE Championship on any night. He's done everything correct in the 'E since his arrival and I think it's his time. He's almost followed the footsteps of Edge in a sense. I think Edge has the best odds of winning but I'm going with the "Awesome" one.
 Winner- The Miz

SMACKDOWN MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH
Big Show vs. Matt Hardy vs. Christian vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Kane vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler
Even though this match has two "big guys" involved, there will be some serious high flying spots. With Hardy, Christian, and Kingston all being big time risk takers, this match will make it worth spending the money. I don't think it will steal the show but these guys will put on one hell of a performance. I can cross off Matt Hardy and Ziggler since neither are in any spot to deserve a title match. Rhodes also seems like a very unlikely winner even though he is Dashing. The Big Show falls in that same category of guys who really don't need to hold a briefcase for a Championship bout.  This leaves Christian, Kingston, and McIntyre. Kingston is a top face on the blue brand but I think still has a long run  of IC Champ before his big break. McIntyre is the so-called "Chosen One" so it could make sense for him and I prefer heels holding a title contract because their mischievous. But, I have to say not only does Christian look like the odds on favorite but damn it, he deserves to win. Ever since returning to WWE, he has put on some of the best matches, put over plenty of younger talent ala Sheamus and Swagger, and has always been in most fans eyes as a top contender. He no longer deserves to be treated like the Jannety of E&C and needs his own spotlight. By winning and cashing it in on Raw against Edge (if he was champ) would be one of the greatest moments in the 'E's history. If Rey leaves due to injury soon, Christian could take over as a top face on SD other than the Taker. There are so many possibilities with Captain Charisma winning that I don't see why Vince wouldn't want him to. He's my choice and I'll be royally pissed if he doesn't walk out vivtorious.
Winner- Christian

Until Next Time...

... I'm Just Sayin!

Fatal 4Way

This Sunday is another new gimmick by the WWE. The Fatal 4Way is featuring multiple 4Way Championship matches. These are the matches with my predictions.

Intercontinental Title Match: Kofi Kingston (c) vs Drew McIntyre
 Drew is drawing major heat as of late but I think it's more to do with his feud with Matt Hardy and not Kofi. I wouldn't mind seeing Drew win the title back here but only if that means Matt gets in the title picture as well. Unfortunately, one face on the blue brand needs to hold gold so I give the nod for Kofi to retain. Don't be suprised by a run in by verison 1.0.
Winner- The Jamaican Kofi Kingston (from Ghana?)

United States Title Match: The Miz (c) vs R-Truth
I don't understand why the championship would have switched hands on Raw instead of a ppv but with that, it sets up this match. R-Truth wants his title back and will come up only short of his goal I imagine. The Miz only looks good with gold hanging from his shoulder. Without the title, Miz is just another mid-carder filling up time on Raw.
Winner- The Miz

Divas Title Match: Eve (c) vs Maryse vs Gail Kim vs Alicia Fox
The only women's match on the card and yet they will only be given 5 minutes I bet. Eve has been solid since winning the title but it just doesn't seem right not having Maryse as champ. Actually I am sad every time I think about it. Maryse will be champion soon but I don't think this is where she wins.
Winner- Eve


World Heavyweight Title Match: Jack Swagger (c) vs Big Show vs Rey Mysterio vs CM Punk
This match has some many tangiles that I will most likely steal the show. I know that doesn't say much but this will make everyone go home happy. Expect many near falls and plenty of reversals. There is only one major problem; Big Show. He will have to get knocked out of the ring and take a good 10 min break on the outside so Punk and Rey can put on their spectacular performace. I said last pay-per-view that Swagger needed to win to solidify his title run. Well, since that match, he has been on the losing end in some form of fashion. It's that old case of "here you go, be a champion but you're going to lose every match on free televison" kind of story for Swagger. I can see Big Show winning here but then again I think that's the wrong direction to go. If they want Swagger vs Taker at SummerSlam then The All American American needs to retain the title.
Winner- Jack Swagger

WWE Title Match: John Cena (c) vs Randy Orton vs Edge vs Sheamus
The machine vs the viper vs the ultimate opportunist vs the jar of mayonnaise guy? This has so many great "coulda and shoulda been"  story-lines involved but have been pushed to the back burner because of the NXT Rookies invasion. Cena has been champ for some time now (no surprise there), Orton is guy who everyone wants to see as the champion, Edge is probably most deserving, and Sheamus is just there until Triple H comes back. Can you imagine if Batista was in place of Sheamus? It could have been epic. The sad thing is that I can almost see Sheamus winning here after Orton hands him the win after giving Cena or Edge and RKO but re-injures his shoulder and can't cover for the win. They keep saying that Cena only has a "25%" chance of winning (as if we can't figure that statistic out) and yet I still put him as the odds on favorite here. Unless Orton is really okay pysically, then I can see Edge winning to continue their feud until SummerSlam.
Winner- John Cena


Until Next Time...

... I'm Just Sayin!

Over.The.Limit.

Ted Dibiase (w/ Virgil) vs. R-Trut
I'm torn on this. It seems they're trying to push Dibiase but I don't see R-truth losing this one. I think Virgil will turn on dibiase and we'll see a r truth/Virgil vs the two dibiases at the next ppv.
Winner: R-Truth brothers gotta stick together

Divas Championship Match: Eve vs. Maryse
It's too soon to take the belt off Eve and due to the lack of anyone else we may even see a long term feud between maryse and Eve.
Winner: Maryse by dq

Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk:
I agree with Andrew that this is the most underrated feud at the moment, but I disagree with his pick of winner. While it may be weird to see punk with a shaved head, i doubt they will add another member to the SES. Besides rumors were that they were bringing in Kaval to feud with Rey Mysterio and he may be the masked man so this would be the perfect launching place for this feud.
Winner: Mysterio de Mexico

Intercontinental Championship: Drew McIntyre(c) vs. Kofi Kingston
I think I'm the opposite of a lot of people on this but i don't see anything in kofi and I like McIntyre. While I see Kofi getting another run with the belt soon I think they're heading for an extended feud.
Winner: Kingston by DQ

Randy Orton vs. Edge
I'm calling it now, feud of the year and hopefully it goes on as long as the jericho and hbk feud did. I think Edge wins this one.
Winner: Edge

Unified Tag Team Championship: The Hart Dynasty vs. Chris Jericho & The Miz
The Hart dynasty is a great tag team but I think both Miz and Jericho have unfinished business with the Big Show and the other way to feud with him is to win the tag titles.
Winners: Jerrimiz

World Heavyweight Championship: Jack Swagger(c) vs. Big Show
The Definitive answer in the age old question: Dose size matter or is it how you use it. Simply put Jack swagger cannot lose this match, he must win. Now that the wwe doesn't care about smackdown till it arrives on syfy latter in the year and giving the big Show a title reign wouldn't be the worse thing in the world but outside Punk who would he feud with. And Swagger is potentially the next great heel.
Winner: The All American All American jack Swagger.

WWE Championship: I Quit Match John Cena(c) vs. Batista
I want nothing more then for Batista to win the belt here. He has been great as a heel. However with the rumors being that he's leaving the wwe and he just lost a match by ducktape tells me thats not going to happen. Then again...
Winner and new transitional champ to HHH: Batista

Over The Limit Predictions

This Sunday marks the arrival of a new pay per view by the WWE called Over The Limit. Below are my predictions for the card as of right now.

Ted Dibiase (w/ Virgil) vs. R-Truth
This should be a quick 5 min match with Truth winning with a little help from Virgil. It doesn't seem like he's going to be hanging around long so this is one of those week long appearance contracts to help pay for the wife's new kitchen kind-of thing. DiBiase doesn't boost/hurt his career with a win or lose here so I give it to the fan favorite.
Winner-R-Truth 

Divas Championship Match
Eve vs. Maryse
Divas don't get the time of day to wrestle so I see this being a quick and easy win for Maryse. I like Eve as a champion but Maryse looks better with the gold around her waist. Honestly, she looks good in anything.
Winner- Maryse

Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk
If Mysterio loses, he must join the Straight Edge Society. If Punk loses, he must have his head shaved.
This is the grudge match of the most over-looked feud in recent memory. Two of the best skilled performers in the ring and the E would rather focus on muscle heads to headline their ppvs. The conclusion of this match is huge for both superstars. I can't see Punk having all of his hair cut off but yet having Rey join the society would be a huge twist as well. I'm leaning a little more towards the Savior winning with some outside help.
Winner- CM Punk, because he's better than all of us 


Intercontinental Championship
Drew McIntyre(c) vs. Kofi Kingston
This match is a disappointment for me for one sole reason; Matt Hardy is out of the picture. It was Drew and Matt feuding 2 weeks ago and now they jump to Kofi. I can see either Matt or even Christian getting involved in helping Kofi win here. Drew needs to drop the title for the main reason that he's getting boring by holding onto the IC title.
Winner-Kofi Kingston

Randy Orton vs. Edge
Aw yes, the best match on this card. You have a great back story to go along with a feud based not on a championship but over hatred. These two are going to have a nice long feud all Summer long and this is just step one into making it the feud of the year. Orton, who is so over with the crowd that it makes Cena cry himself to sleep, versus Edge, who has reverted back to his conniving/sneaky ways in which makes him so dangerous. Both men are at the top of their games right now and should easily give the crowd their moneys worth. Picking the winner is tough solely on the reason that I see them having multiple pay per view matches in a row. I say Edge wins this one to help boost his ego and yet infuriate the Viper to seek revenge.
Winner- Edge 

Unified Tag Team Championship
The Hart Dynasty vs. Chris Jericho & The Miz
You have newly crowned champs vs recent title holders both with the Big Show. The Hart Dynasty is in a win/win situation in my mind. If they win, they have defeated two of the best in the game right now. If they lose, they've been defeated by two of the best in the game right now. I like ChrisMiz being champs for the sole purpose of possible amazing promos together but it seems like Vince is high on the Harts.
Winner- The Hart Dynasty 

World Heavyweight Championship:
Jack Swagger(c) vs. Big Show
The All-American American takes on the knockout king what should be a make or break match for Swagger. He needs a victory to stay at the top of the card and be a legitiamate champion. I like this little feud and by having Big Show lose, he doesn't lose any credibility since he will always be threat for the title. With Cena as the champ on the flagship show, I like Swagger being the counterweight on the blue brand. Plus, I want to see Swagger Doctor Bomb the big man  then slap in a bad ass submission move to solidify him as the future of the business.
Winner- Jack Swagger

WWE Championship: I Quit Match
John Cena(c) vs. Batista
The man who never quits versus the man who can only be defeated by duct tape. Submission moves, chair shots, and bulging veins will be the highlights of this match. Batista is saying farewell (so we've been told) to the wrestling business so there is no need to give him a one day title reign. Cena wins here with disappointment written over all of our faces. Don't be surprised by a sneak attack from the jar of mayonnaise with ketchup hair (Sheamus if you didn't know) either following the win by Cena or even prior to the match even starting.
Winner- John Cena

WWE Draft Preview & Predictions

The annual WWE Draft is upon us once again. We are only hours removed from the Extreme Rules pay per view and tonight's Raw will be a special 3 hour show. I am assuming the Draft will be the same process as it has been for the past few years; a superstar from each show will compete and whomever the winner is, that brand gets a random pick from the roster. I don't particularly like this concept but without having a General Manager on Raw, there is no reason for a traditional type of draft.

Many superstars need to be moved due to lack of people to feud with and others need to be moved just to give their characters a fresh look. There is always one major problem with moving wrestlers from one show to another and that is the championships. I can't imagine them having the Intercontinental or United States championships on one brand so you must take that into consideration. This is the current roster and which categories I place the superstars:

Raw Roster

Main Event

Faces – John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H
Heels – Sheamus

Mid-Card

Faces - Evan Bourne, Christian, Kofi Kingston, MVP

Heels – Ted DiBiase, The Big Show, The Miz, Cody Rhodes
 

Low-Card

Faces – Primo Colon, Santino Marella, Mark Henry, Yoshi Tatsu
Heels – Carlito, Chavo Guerrero, Vladimir Kozlov, Chris Masters, William Regal, Zack Ryder

Diva's

Faces – Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Melina, Eve Torres, Bella Twins
Heels – Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox, Jillian Hall, Maryse

SmackDown Roster
Main Event

Faces – Edge, The Undertaker
Heels – Batista, Chris Jericho, Jack Swagger
 

Mid-Card

Faces – John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, JTG, Kane, Matt Hardy, Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith
Heels – Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, Luke Gallows, Shad Gaspard, Ezekiel Jackson, Dolph Ziggler 

Low-Card

Faces– Finlay, Goldust, 

Heels – Trent Baretta, Caylen Croft

Diva's

Faces – Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Tiffany
Heels – Layla El, Michelle McCool, Serena

I'm going with each brand getting six picks on the Monday night Raw show.

Raw to SmackDown
Randy Orton
Kofi Kingston
Big Show
Ted DiBiase
Christian
Gail Kim


SmackDown to Raw
Batista
Edge
Drew McIntyre
John Morrison
Shad
Michelle McCool

Now the supplemental draft will take place on Wednesday and I think the superstars should be moved as follows:

Raw to SmackDown
William Regal
Carlito
Zack Ryder
Rosa Mendes


SmackDown to Raw
Goldust
R-Truth
Layla El
Tiffany

This is a total of 10 superstars/divas moved from each show to the other. Without having ECW anymore, I think this is the maximum number of moves the company will make to shake things up a little bit. My biggest concern here is the rumors of Batista leaving the company shortly. In this case, they need another top heel on Raw which could be perfect for the Miz, Drew McIntyre or even Edge to return to his natural roots.

Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!

eXtreme Predictions

WWE EXTREME RULES 2010 PAY PER VIEW PREDICTIONS

Strap Match: Shad Gaspard vs. JTG

Tag partners turning on each other are nothing new. The question is not who's going to win but can either get over on their own more then they did as a team. Shad has gotten more mic time so I'll go with him.
Winner: The black one 

Street Fight: Sheamus vs. Triple H

The young up and comer trying to take an established veterans place. this is a match I'm looking forward too if only street fights tend to be HHH's forte. Worst case scenario we get two big guys kicking each others ass. If this feud is going to continue Sheamus needs to pick up the win.

Winner: HHH 

Punk's Hair vs Rey Rey's Freedom

I hope these two will actually get some time with this one as they could have an incredible match. The ultimate underdog's speed and high flying offense vs Punk's cunning and straight edge technical skills. After this match, we may have a new member of the SES because i hate the thought of a bald Punk.

Winner: Self Respect(Hopefully) 

Steel Cage Match: Edge vs. Chris Jericho

This is one of the most disappointing feuds I can remember. These are the two most well-rounded performers in the WWE and while they deserved their title spot at Mania it was a little underwhelming. That's what happens when you build a feud around the less effective finisher in professional wrestling. I'm thinking Jericho wins here and their feud turns into a tag war as Jericho seems to be starting a feud with christian on NXT.

Winner: Jerikco!!! 

Extreme Makeover Women's Title Match: Michelle McCool vs. Beth Phoenix

Michelle McCool you will now know the name of the one true God. Beth Phoenix. That is all.

Winner: Glamazon 

Extreme Rules World Title Match: Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton

High stakes booking. Neither man can afford a loss here with Orton still finding his way as a face and Swagger going from joke to champ in about a week. This is my pick for match of the night since you have two solid in ring performers with the to best story-lines of the year thus far.

Winner: The All American All American World Champion 

Last Man Standing WWE Title Match: John Cena vs. Batista

It's a shame that Batista waited this long to get good and I'm starting to think he's putting in the extra effort because he wants to leave on a good note. Anyway he isn't leaving with the title so that leaves...

Winner and still champion: John Cena

Extreme Rules '10

Extreme Rules has taken over for the previous Backlash show which normally features rematches from WrestleMania. These are my predictions for the Extreme Rules 2010 pay per view.

* Strap Match: Shad Gaspard vs. JTG
They started as a dominate tag team who were released from their contracts only to be re-signed and feud mainly with the Hart Dynasty has finally split up. There is no more Money Money, Yeah Yeah. This match is all about who is the better superstar from this once great tandem of street thugs.  Shad has revealed his inner heel and is tired of carrying his long time friend. All teams eventually split up and are thrown into the singles pool while trying to sink or swim. This match will show if they can actually work well as singles seeing as they should know each others move-set pretty damn well. Shouldn't be more than 5 minutes of punches followed by a nifty high fly move by JTG to pick up the win.
Winner- JTG 

* Street Fight: Sheamus vs. Triple H

The veteran vs the rookie round II with sledgehammers and steel pipes. I normally like street fights but not in the PG era for one reason... no blood. How can u hit someone countless times on steel steps and sledgehammers without breaking open the skin. This should end the feud between these two, and since Triple H won the Mania match, I'll give the nudge to the Celtic Warrior. Don't be surprised by screwy finish (interference by someone else, not real screws)
Winner- Sheamus 

* If CM Punk Loses, He Loses His Hair: Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk
On Raw, we got a little glimpse of what could happen to Punk if he loses which means I doubt the "Savior" will be defeated on Sunday. Punk gives everything to the wrestling business but I doubt losing his hair will be one of them. I imagine Gallows and Serena will have some influence in this match which gives Punk the upper hand in any situation.
Winner- CM Punk 

*Steel Cage Match: Edge vs. Chris Jericho

This is the one match that would tempt me to purchase this pay per view. Two of the best wrestlers on the roster in 4 sides of steel is a dream match. If it is even close to as good as their Mania match, it will surely steal the show. There is one key difference between this match and the Mania match... no championship on the line. Edge should get the pin-fall here after using the Spear!
Winner- The Ultimate Opportunist

* Extreme Makover Women's Title Match: Michelle McCool vs. Beth Phoenix
 This match will take less than 3 minutes which mean I won't elaborate anymore than one sentence.
Winner- Michelle McCool 

* Extreme Rules World Title Match: Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton
The new World Champion gets his shot one of the best in the game. Orton is so over as a face with the fans it has to making Cena a little jealous. Who would have guessed that bad ass persona would work? Oh yea, Stone Cold. Duh. This title defense will either make Swagger look like a true main-eventer or a one and done champ. Let's hope he continues a nice title reign. But if Orton wins, he could be the top face champion on the blue brand after the draft is complete. Doubtful. I'll say give the young guy a chance to shine.
Winner- The All American American 

* Last Man Standing WWE Title Match: John Cena vs. Batista

These two had a terrific performance at Mania which means I expect nothing less than 20 minutes of them barely standing up on the count of 9. I would like to see Batista walk away with the title because I think a heel of his level only looks more dominate as champion but unfortunately it's hard to beat a man who doesn't seem to have a weak spot. Cena doesn't lose cause he's a glorified douche.
Winner- John Cena 


I will post my WWE Draft predictions on Monday since the winners of the championship matches will have a big influence on my decisions. Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!

WrestleMania 26 Predictions

WrestleMania. It's the pay per view that wrestlers/superstars strive to showcase on. It's the one show that the fans look forward to every year. There is a reason this one show is known around the world as the "Grandest Stage of them All". WrestleMania is that one place that sports entertainers put on their best performances that they are capable of doing. These are my predictions for WrestleMania 26.

* Triple H vs. Sheamus
This match features the favorite veteran vs the heel rookie with a fast start in the business. Sheamus has only had one other big one-on-one match in his short lived career. That other match featured Cena, whom he defeated for the title. This match is supposedly  the make or break in Sheamus' career. I highly doubt that since HHH has hand picked the young man to be the future. I can see Triple H putting over the Irish pale face superstar to prove that Hunter knows talent when he sees it.
Winner- Sheamus


* CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio
These two have been putting on great promo's as of late and are not getting enough credibility for it on WWE television. Punk has solidified himself as the great heel of the WWE but the problem is he is facing the one superstar that everyone cheers for no matter what. Rey looks like an underdog here since the Straight Edge Society will be in Punk's corner which mean he is my favorite to win.
Winner- Rey Mysterio


*Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Ted DiBiase
This is one match I am looking forward to but also highly disappointed. The deconstruction of Legacy should have been so much more of a story but it has been watered down due to its timing. There are so many other huge story-lines going on right now that people are kind of over looking this match. I won't be surprised if these three manage to tear the roof down. Hopefully they give them enough time to put on a good story. Orton's fan base is growing faster than Kristie Alley's waist band during Christmas dinner. A win by either Rhodes or DiBiase could help jump them to the next level and even continue a feud with Orton. In the past, I like to pick Orton when he gets beat down weeks before his big matches.
Winner- Randy Orton


* Money In The Bank Ladder Match: Christian vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Jack Swagger vs. MVP vs. Matt Hardy vs. Evan Bourne vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston
One thought comes to mind about this match; cluster-fuck. Having ten wrestlers going for one briefcase is ridiculous. There will be some breathtaking moments, that's a guarantee with Shelton and Christian involved, but there will also be some miscommunication leading to minor injuries I predict.The hard part is trying to think of who will prevail. Christian has to be the favorite because he was top champion only a few weeks ago. Kofi is just on the outside of the main event, but you could make a case for Swagger, MVP, and even Kane.
Winner- Christian


* Unified Tag Team Title Match: The Miz and The Big Show vs. John Morrison and R-Truth
ShoMiz needed competition for their titles. This is why we have the pairing of Morrison and Truth. I don't see Miz losing any gold any time soon. Unless Daniel Bryan gets involved some way, there is no reason for them to lose.
Winner- ShowMiz


* No Holds Barred Match: Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon
The match that has me most excited for. My favorite wrestler of all time against the big bad CEO. With Hart's health conditions, don't expect to see to much offensively. Vince will beat him down most of the time until Bret is able to lock him up in the shapshooter. Bret screws Vince.
Winner- Bret "The Hitman" Hart 


* Career vs. Streak – Win By Pin or Submission Only: Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker
The match that stole the show last year... round two. There will be plenty of reversals and near falls. As a fan of wrestling, records are respected but also made to be broken. I'd hate to see the Undertaker lose at Mania and his beloved streak end. Taker is about to retire so maybe he feels okay with HBK beating him out of mutual respect. I hope the streak lives on but I have a bad feeling about not picking the one they call "Mr. WrestleMania".

Winner- Shawn Michaels 

* WWE Title Match: Batista vs. John Cena

I can't even to begin at how impressed I am with Batista's work over the last four weeks. At first I figured these two would be involved in the Hart/McMahon feud but now with the title being the main focus makes it more rewarding. The match has all the perfect ingredients for a great story to be told inside the four corners. You have the "face" of the WWE vs the "jealous" powerhouse champion. Hopefully Batista can walk away the champion along with a long title reign to give his heel gimmick some serious credibility in the history books. Unfortunately, this is WrestleMania and sometimes the good guy must prevail to send the fans home happy. This match doesn't have a No DQ stipulation so I can also see the Animal getting himself disqualified to retain the title and allow a rematch at Extreme Rules (the next pay per view).

Winner- Dave "The Animal" Batista 

* World Heavy-Weight Title Match: Chris Jericho vs. Edge

The match that has been set for the past 6 months has finally arrived. You have former tag team champions squaring off against each other on the big stage. Edge, the Royal Rumble winner, has a lot of momentum coming into this bout versus the current champ who is rightfully the "best in the world at what he does", so he says and I can't argue with that. This match should be nothing short of great technical wrestling but unfortunately it will be over looked by the fans due to its poor build-up. If the MITB winner would cash in at the end or even in the middle of the match, it could be put over as the top match on the card, but I highly doubt that event will take place. Both men have a argumentative/ legitimate shot at walking out of Mania with the WCW World Heavy-Weight Championship. The 2nd toughest choice on the card (Taker/Shawn). Edge losing to Chris would look worse than vice-versa.

Winner- "The Ultimate Opportunist" Edge

Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!
