Mickie James def. Melina (to win Women's Title)
Why? - Melina is still in the developmental stages of her wresting ability
where as Mickie's is in full blossom and only getting stronger. They need
a truly credible Women's Champion and Mickie is that. Also you have to
take into account that her feud with Victoria ended WAY too quickly.

MVP def. Benoit (to win U.S. Title)
Why? - This isn't a definite prediction but more of a guess. If MVP pulls
off as strong a match as he did at Wrestlemania then there is no reason
that he shouldn't take the title from Benoit. However, if he does anything
short of repeating that WM performance, then I say Benoit should retain

The Hardyz def. Cade & Murdoch (to retain)
Why? - It's Cade & Murdoch! THE END. But if you really need a reason
then here you go. The Hardyz have a plethora of teams to feud with.
They can pick and choose from MNM, The World's Greatest Tag Team,
their current opponents where as Cade & Murdoch can only choose The
Highlanders or Cryme Tyme. Cryme Tyme had a big boost in popularity
when they came but have since fallen into obscurity like The Highlanders.
Though it's been stated that Vince McMahon doesn't want The Hardyz as
a team, he'd be making a huge mistake giving the belts to anyone else.

Lashley def. Umaga, Vince & Shane (to retain)
Why? - While I would love nothing more than to see Umaga land a pin on
Bobby Lashley and become the new ECW Champion I just don't see it in
the works. They've pushed Bobby Lashley back-to-back at every chance
they get. Even though Umaga is no strapless, thanks to Lashley interfering
it doesn't seem likely that they will give him a new title, especially not
Lashley's. (On a side note: I'm begging them to give Umaga a new finisher)
---
Taker def. Batista (to retain)
Why? - There is no way in hell they are going to have Batista get his title
back less than a month after losing it. Especially against The Deadman, I
do however have a slight fear that the rumors MAY be true and they're
going to try and resurrect his old biker gimmick, in which case he would
drop the belt to Batista and disappear for a couple months. Dear god no.

Orton def. Shawn, Cena and Edge
Why? - One. The champ gets a rematch and if I have to see Cena vs. Edge
one more time I'm going to kill myself. Shawn had his shot at Mania and
he was denied, if he's not going to win it on the grandest stage of 'em all
then he's not going to win it period. Orton being a heel not only has ties to
Cena for a rematch feud, but with Edge for an ex-partner feud AND Shawn
for a heel/face feud. Triple H should be back soon and now that Shawn isn't
pushing DX anymore and apparently trying to let it slowly die it seems to
be in the making for him to get the belt back upon his return.
