| HBK vs HHH vs Benoit = Win for Benoit. With all the Canadian hype machine surrounding Benoit's return to Canada, I can see two possibilities... a HUGE Benoit heel turn, or a Benoit win. I cant see them turning him heel anytime soon because there's just a lack of babyface talent right now on Raw.
Cactus Jack vs Randy Orton = Win for Cactus! I know its controversial, I know it seems odd to put the IC strap on Cactus but I think its the ideal way to go forward. It elevates the IC title, which has remained stagnant for absolutely ages now, and it means that when Orton wins it back (which he will), it gives it that much more meaning. I think Cactus goes over if only to elevate Orton in the long run. It just gives the feud a bit more credibility if Foley isnt getting buried in the Won/Lost stat for the feud.
Jericho vs Christian/Trish = win for Jericho. WM Payoff is needed so that Jericho can move on to bigger and better things. I think that he'll pin Trish clean so as not to hurt Christian. I have a funny feeling he'll do it with Christian's unprettier just to up middle finger Christian and use the name of the move in a future promo against them (I know its farfetched but this is a predictions thread, what the hell ;))
Lita vs Victoria = Lita win. I cant see anything other than a Lita win here because, as has been said, theres a Lita-Trish program brewing.
Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair = win for Shelton. To have Shelton job to Flair at this point of his push would be criminal and pointless. It'll only undermine his push and his victories against HHH. Im thinking Benjamin convincingly. Flair doesnt need to look good here, hes the mentor of Evolution, the voice and experience of the group and doesnt particularly need the win because he's Ric Flair.
Edge vs Kane = win for Edge under suspicious circumstances. Unless they want to give this feud some legs (which they havent because the match was just announced and had no backstory whatsoever), then Kane wins. I think theyll use Kane as polishing material for Edge, making him look like a credible high-midcarder again in a solid match. Kane shouldn't be made to job, and it sucks that he is, but I think he will, albeit not in the cleanest of circumstances. Maybe that cast will come into play?
Tajiri vs Coach = Win for Tajiri. I remember reading on a newsboard about a soon to debut oriental wrestler that had joined WWE, I think Tajiri will use him as his 'ace in the hole' after Coach hires some cronies to help him out. |
