WWE Judgement Day Predictions

WWE Championship
John Cena (c) vs. The Great Khali
I Say: This is an easy one so I'm going to get straight to the point. Cena wins. They may book the match so Khali still comes out looking strong by having a countout Cena loss, but I'll stay with Cena. I really hope the rumors aren't true and that Snitsky isn't going to be moved to RAW to feud with Cena. Who's next? Mark Henry? Some oversized talent lacking newbie from OVW?
Dave Says: Incredible. The Great Khali is hardly mobile, has two moves and is main eventing a PPV. There is no way they could possibly put the belt on Khali. It's just not possible. He may be about the only wrestler I WOULDN'T want to see get the belt from Cena. Cena will win.

Handicap match for the ECW World Championship
Mr. McMahon (c), Shane McMahon and Umaga vs. Bobby Lashley
I Say: I really want to say that the McMahons and Umaga will win, but I suspect that Lashley will pick up the win to help prolong the feud. He won't get the title though. Lashley will likely pin Shane (or less likely, Umaga) to get the win, and then Vince will claim that since he (Vince) wasn't pinned that he's still the ECW Champ. No matter what happens I see Vince keeping the title and Lashley likely getting it back at 1NS since the PPV is and ECW at its roots even though it's tri-branded this year. If Shane or Umaga picks up the pin will they become the new champ?
Dave Says: This is going to be Lashley's revenge. Lashley will get the belt back.

2 out of 3 Falls match for the WWE United States Championship
Chris Benoit (c) vs. Montel Vontavious Porter
I Say: I've said it for the past couple of PPV that I thought that MVP would beat Benoit for the title and I've been wrong. I'll go with the same pick since the more matches that these two have the more likely MVP is going to pick up the win and his first title in the WWE. This match will go to the 3rd fall.
Dave Says: Well, I've been wrong the last two times these two have met so I'm going for the clean sweep. MVP gets the title.

Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk
I Say: This is a toss-up. Vince presented Burke to the crowd a few months ago as if Burke is going to be a big player in the future of ECW and WWE as a whole. Other that being undersized a bit I believe that Punk fits the bill a little more than Burke does. Punk to win. I see a very, very strong chance of a DQ win due to interference by the New Breed.
Dave Says: CM Punk, only because I don't know who Burke is.

World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (c) vs. Batista
I Say: There is no way that Edge is going to have a title run of less than 2 weeks. With 2 of WWE's top stars on the shelves for a little while the WWE needs to give Edge a quality title run. They have got to keep this feud going for a little while since there is not really any other top-level guy on SD to challenge for the belt other that Batista. I do however see a chance that Randy Orton may jump to SD since he could get lost in the shuffle once the Cena/HBK feud gets going again on RAW. Edge wins and retains here. That is unless there is a Edge DQ which looks possible.
Dave Says: Edge will win.

Carlito vs. Ric Flair
I Say: I see this feud continuing for some time. Either one of these two could win here, but I'll go with the veteran - Flair. I predict that Torrie will be in Flair's corner.
Dave Says: I'm sorry mysterious "J". Flair is an embarrasment. His legacy is being irrepairably destroyed. When Flair wins it makes wrestling seem so fake like when Verne Gagne used to win his company's title all the time. Carlito has never been the same since he left Smackdown so I'm going to give him the victory and hope he can get his career back on track.

Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels
I Say: This match was thrown together too quickly with no build up in my opinion. I can't see Shawn putting Orton over. Shawn with the win.
Dave Says: I'm going to go with Shawn Michaels because A. He's been a helluva worker B. Orton is probably still in the doghouse.

WWE Womens Championship
Melina (c) v. Candice Michelle
I Say: As of this writing, this match has not officially been announced, but looks to be taking place judging by RAW over the past few weeks. I just can't see Melina dropping the title to someone of Candice's calibre of in-ring skills. She has been showing improvement as of late though. Melina gets the win. Again, unless there is a DQ win for Candice after Victoria's interference.
Dave Says: I always choose Melina because she's 10 times better looking than Candice.

Summary
I Say: Cena, Lashley, MVP, Punk, Edge, Flair, Shawn Michaels, & Melina
Dave Says: Cena. Lashley, MVP, Punk, Edge, Carlito, Shawn Michaels, & Melina

Note: PPV results will be posted some time on Monday and not at the usual time - the night of the show.
