Champion vs Champion
(IC champion) Morrison vs (US Champion) Miz
In my opinion, this will be THE match of the entire PPV. Morrison's a human highlight reel and like it or not Miz has improved
somewhat. Kinda iffy on this one, but I'm going with a Morrison win on this one.
Frankly, I don't like how you put it there. "Somewhat" is far from describing the big leap he did since his first match in WWE. And I'm not only talking about his ring skills, but his microphone skills that are far superior to what many can do.
But coming back on the topic:
SmackDown vs. Raw WWE Bragging Rights Tag Match
Raw - DX (HHH & HBK), The Big Show, Mark Henry, Kofi, Swagger and Cody Rhodes
vs
Smackdown - Y2J, Kane, Cryme Time, Dolph Ziggler, Eric Escobar and Drew McIntyre.
If anyone wants a good example of random booking, that's probably the best I can think of to describe that. First of all, you don't put rookies who had as many matches in their entire WWE career as the Undertaker had this year. Yes, I'm talking about McIntyre and Escobar. They might be really talented individuals, but they're far from being serious competition in WWE yet, even if one of them had a match that came after the two World championship matches at Hell in a Cell... Go figure.
So, just for the rookie factor and the DX factor, I say team Raw wins this one hands down. However, this would only be returning the favor as SmackDown literally pwn'd Raw in 2005 when they had a feud like that going on.
Pick: SmackDown
Prediction: Raw
Ironman anything goes match - WWE Championship - Orton(c) vs Cena
If Cena loses he is banned from Raw.
Now this one is screaming "BUT YOUR BETS ON CENA!". Obviously, they won't try to take their money racket away from the #1 brand to go on SmackDown or ECW, though it would only be great to introduce some different feuds over the WWE championship on Raw. So the big question in Vinnie Mac's head is "Do I go for the safe money maker or I try something different so we have a new source of benefits?"
Pick: Orton
Prediction: Cena
World Heavyweight Championship Match
Taker(c) vs Batista vs CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio
It was just a matter of time before they put Roidista in the World title hunt. Same goes for Rey Mysterio. But obviously, these two won't win as this was more random booking than anything else. But then again, we said the same thing about Dave being put in the Khali vs Mysterio match at Unforgiven 2007 and look who walked away with the title..
As for CM Punk, he's still in the doghouse after that story going on between him, Taker and a wardrobe. And since they finally have the chance to give Undertaker that title run they always wanted to give him but abruptly ended each time because of injury, I think it's an obvious winning pick right there.
Pick: Undertaker
Prediction: Undertaker
Champion vs Champion
(IC champion) Morrison vs (US Champion) Miz
Morrison is one hell of a competitor, and so is The Miz. Together, they were awesome, and against each other... This won't be any different. I expect a great match and honestly, I don't care who win in this one because I know I'll be on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Though in this case, it's hard to predict who should come out as the winner as both are on a roll. However, Morrison will have less hard times to catch up if he loses than Miz who is at his first piece of singles gold in WWE. So logically, I would say Miz wins as they need to build his momentum a little more.
Pick: Morrison
Prediction: Miz
Possible Matches (Since having 4 matches on PPV would blow)
But then again, think that a PPV is 3 hours and 1 hour's already off the card for the Ironman match, and at least another hour and a half divided for the World title and the 14-man bout. 2 more matches AT MOST.
Will give my rant once more matches are made official.
