Okay…it’s prediction time guys….
WHO YA GOT?
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Big Show Singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
I see Big Show winning by DQ. Remember when closed fist punching was illegal in wrestling? How can a knock out punch be Big Show’s closer? I realize Show is getting older and he needs a low impact finisher....but a punch? C'mon now!
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Sheamus Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
I am loving what Dragon is doing in the WWE! I think he is magic with the belt! That being said...Sheamus is HHH's work out partner and road buddy. As much as I hate to say this....I think politics are going to win and Sheamus walks out the champion.
Maria Menounos & Kelly Kelly vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres
One of two piss break matches Vince has booked for us! Thanks Vince! Well.....Menounos ain't gonna lose folks, so her team will win. Now does she win because Kharma comes out and attacks Beth? Does Natty finally turn on Beth? One can only hope! I hate Kelly Kelly...so I hope she doesnt even get tagged into the match.
Team Teddy (Santino Marella (captain), R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, The Great Khali and Booker T) (with Hornswoggle)
vs.
Team Johnny (David Otunga (captain), Mark Henry, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, The Miz and Drew McIntyre) (with Vickie Guerrero) 12-man tag team match. The General Manager of the winning team will become the General Manager of both Raw and SmackDown.
Ugh.....who cares, right? I hope the match ends in a no contest because 5 minutes into the match the lights go out....then we hear the familiar sound of an e-mail being received...the lights come back on to reveal all team members laid out and a laptop computer in the middle of the ring....REVENGE OF THE ANONYMOUS GENERAL MANAGER!!!
Seriously though...I don't see them putting Johnny Ace in the spot to have so much TV time...I could see Teddy Long getting the knod until Vince comes back and fires him. Why can't we have Steven Regal be the GM and be done with it?!?!?
CM Punk (c) vs. Chris Jericho Singles match for the WWE Championship
Okay, here is the real deal main event of the night. There are some factors involved here that need to be mentioned. This whole "Christian has been reinjured" thing is a scam. I can see him interfering in this match for Jericho. Alberto Del Rio has been out of the spotlight for a bit too...I could see him getting involved against CK PUNK. At the end of the day...and I hate to say this....I REALLY don't see Jericho getting the belt. I think it set's a bad example for a talent to leave the company and then rejoin to be tossed directly into the title picture and win the belt on their first crack at it. But then again, that might have been a negotiating point in Jericho's contract....and he did just sign an extension to take him into Summerslam. Alright...I'm going to go with my heart and not my head and predict Jericho winning the belt! .... (even though I believe Punk will retain
)
Randy Orton vs. Kane
Hey look, another piss break match! Thanks Vince!
Obviously Orton is going to win this...I mean...He's the VIPER and everything, right?
Triple H vs. The Undertaker ……Hell in a Cell match with special guest referee Shawn Michaels
HHH might be a lot of things....but he doesn't want streak broken. Undertaker wins to keep the streak alive and take the year off until he faces Sting next year in Jersey!
The Rock vs. John Cena
You really think there is going to be a winner here? No chance in hell! This is going to be milked into a best of three series for damn sure! I hate the idea of Mania ending without a pinfall....but these two guys in the ring is $$$! Still, someone has to win, right? I predict that the Rock will pin Cena after some type of interference that he is not aware of (probably from the Miz). The next night on Raw....Dwayne will denounce the victory because he doesn't want to beat Cena like that. The two will shake hands again and agree to meet at next years Mania...or Summerslam.
