WWE 2007 Royal Rumble Predictions

It's PPV time once again and that means it's prediction time. Let's get to the predictions without wasting any time.

WWE Title - Last Man Standing
Cena v. Umaga
I Say:
Obviously Cena is going to be coming out with the title. There is no RAW PPV before Wrestlemania and there is no way that Cena isn't going in with the title. I realize that Cena could lose the title and then regain it before WM, but the WWE rarely makes a world title change on a non-PPV show unless it's an emergency (i.e. RVD's drug posession arrest). I assume that you can only win by having your opponent not be able to answer a 10 count that there would be no DQ's or countout. Otherwise I would pick Umaga to get the DQ or countout win so he doesn't lose momentum. Therefore I have to say that Cena gets the win eventhough I think that having the match end in a draw (by having both men unable to answer a 10 count) wouldn't harm either guy too much, but I don't think that's possible since the 10 count has to be answered once a wrestler is pinned or made to submit.
David Says: Cena gets the win

World Title
Batista v. Kennedy
I Say:
I would like to see Kennedy pick up the win and the title, but the WWE probably thinks that he's still a little to new to carry the belt. I'll have to pick Batista gets the win. Perhaps by DQ when Undertaker interferes since there seems to be a rift developing between them on SD.
David Says: Batista wins

ECW Title
Lashley v. Test
I Say:
I really hope that Test doesn't get the belt. I'm going to pick Lashley to get the win.
David: I agree with the Mysterious J. Lashley will win.

MNM v. Hardys
I Say:
I really think that MNM should be put back together permanently. I hope they get the win, but the Hardys always seem to pull through. I'll pick MNM anyways.
David Says: (Note from Mysterious J: I don't remember what David picked. I'll guess and say he picked the Hardys)

Royal Rumble
I Say:
I'm not clear as to what the title picture is for any of the belts for Wrestlemania. Because of that I was just going to pick Undertaker to win since there are rumors of a 'Taker v. Batista match @ WM and that's the only WM title match that I have heard anything about. I've changed my mind though. Here is my prediction - The last 3 men in the ring will be Edge, Orton, and HBK. I am pretty certain that at least one of these men will win the match. Edge & Orton will eliminate HBK. While I think that if only one of them would win it would be Edge, I am going very far out on a limb and saying that they will both win; They'll both go over the top rope at the same time. Yeah, I know that the WWE has done this ending a few times before, but the WWE has repeated angles before and I think this time will be no different. Then look for a possible 3-way @ WM unless they have a #1 contenders match before then to determine who get's a shot @ Cena. In the extremely unlikely chance that a Smackdown or ECW wrestler wins it will be Undertaker for SD and RVD for ECW, but I don't think it's going to happen.
David Says: Shawn Michaels
