WWE No Way Out PPV Predictions

It's once again a WWE PPV weekend and that can only mean one thing...It's time for me to do my best to predict the results of all of the matches. As always, I will also be posting the picks of guest poster David. For those of you that don't remember - David picked more matches than me correctly for the New Year's Revolution PPV and I picked more matches correctly than David for the Royal Rumble.

**It should be noted that I am using the list of matches that I found posted on a newsboard earlier this week. Therefore, I may have incorrect matches listed...Oh Well.

World Heavywight Championship
Kurt Angle (C) v. Undertaker
I Say:
Undertaker is one of a handful of wrestlers that you should never pick against. It seems like he never loses. However, I'm picking against him here. While I think that there is a very high probability that he will win, I just can't pick against Angle. Although I am picking Angle, I am expecting to see Mark Henry to interfere in the match and give Undertaker the DQ win to set up a match at Wrestlemania. Either way, 'Taker isn't picking up the strap.
David Says: Undertaker (but not getting the belt).


Wrestlemania Main Event Title Shot On The Line
Rey v. Randy Orton
I Say:
Rey is another one of the wrestlers that never seem to lose. Reports are saying that Eddie's widow and Chavo will be at ringside to support Rey. I think that having them there is a great idea. Somebody is going to have to comfort Rey after Orton takes his title shot away. Angle is going to Wrestlemania as a face (as much as I hate a face Angle) and having a face v. face as one of the main events is never a great idea (unless it's an ultra-face v. ultra-face such as Austin v. Rcck for a few years ago). Therefore, I can't pick Rey to win and have to go with Orton. While I don't think the Orton v. Rey feud will end at NWO, I see Orton winning this battle.
David Says: Rey


JBL v. Lashley
I Say:
JBL has been doing a great job as of late getting new talent over. Just look at how he sold the Boogeyman's gimmick in the past month or so. Not to mention letting Boogeyman get the pin at the Rumble. Lashley was billed as a monster of sorts when he first came in and he's fallen by the wayside in the past 1-2 months. I am picking JBL help get Lashley over again. Lashley to win.
David Says: JBL


U.S. Title Match
Booker T (C) v. Chris Benoit
I Say:
Benoit reportedly is working either under a short-term contract extension or maybe even under a verbal contract so I see them giving Benoit another U.S. Title run to keep on his good side. Boogeyman's involvement is pretty much a lock and could cost Booker the match and lead to a feud. I don't see Boogeyman being in a U.S. Title feud so there's no need for Booker to keep the belt.
David Says: Booker T


Tag Team Championship Match
MNM (C) v. Matt Hardy & A Mystery Partner
I Say:
I hope Hardy's partner doesn't turn out to be a dud, but it probably will be. Tatanka maybe. I hope it's a new guy and not some jobber or loser like Bob Holly. Without knowing who it will be, I have to pick MNM to retain.
David Says: MNM


Cruiserweight Title
Gregory Helms (C) v. Scotty 2 Hottie v. Psicosis v. Super Crazy v. Nunzio v. Funaki
I Say:
Helms has been getting some favorably feedback since turning heel and becoming Cruiserweight champ. Therefore, I don't see him losing the belt at NWO. One of the Mexicools winning the belt wouldn't surprise me either though. No matter who wins, they're just holding the belt until Kid Kash gets healthy again.
David Say: Psicosis


There you have it. 7 matches & 14 predictions. I feel confident about my picks, but we'll see what happens on Sunday.
