WWE Vengeance Predictions

World Heavyweight Championship: Edge (c) vs. Batista
Dave Says: I see Edge keeping the title. I've had a pretty good run picking Edge of late and I think I'll stick with it.
I Say: Edge is going to have the long title run that was intended for Undertaker before he got injured. For that reason I want to pick Edge. I was looking at SD's roster and there is no other main event good guys so I am going to pick Batista to win by DQ or Countout, or even have the match end in a draw. That way the feud can continue.

John Cena (c) vs. Mick Foley vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton vs. King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell)
Dave Says: This is a tough one because I could see any of these guys winning besides Mick Foley. Bobby Lashley could win the trifecta having been champion in all three brands. King Booker could be given an immediate push upon entering RAW and Orton could receive a well earned second title run. I'm going to go with Lashley because the WWE seems particularly high on him.
I Say: Dave is right. Foley is not going to win the match. I too might tend to pick Lashley, but let's face it - The WWE Title is THE title in the industry. It's the title that everyone in the business wants to wear. All of these struggling wrestlers, whether it be in TNA or the local indies, who bash the WWE would do anything to wear the WWE Title for a single day. Back to Lashley - Yeah, he gets a big reaction, but he is weak on the mic and he's not well-rounded enought o hold the title. I will go with the safe pick and pick Cena.

Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs. Ric Flair
Dave Says: God almight. Ric Flair has this horrible tendency to win with his chops an awkward back body drops. I'm going to go with Flair this time because every once in awhile the WWE feels compelled to throw Flair a bone for being a legend in the sport.
I Say: As much as I like Ric Flair, I don't see him winning the title. MVP is my pick, but there could be a DQ win for the Nature Boy. The only reason that Flair is on SD is as a mentor for the younger rosters of SD and ECW.

Chavo Guerrero (c) vs. Jimmy Wang Yang
Dave Says: Yeah, ok. I'll pick Jimmy Wang Yahng because he has a more interesting gimmick. I have nothing more to say on the subject.
I Say: I really don't care. The cruiserweight title is a joke right now. I too will pick Yang.

Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch (c) vs. The Hardys (Matt and Jeff)
Dave Says: I don't think the WWE would put the belts on Cade and Murdoch just to remove them right away. Cade and Murdoch will retain the titles
I Say: I see the Hardys having more title reigns in their careers, but not yet. C & M retain.

Melina (c) vs. Candice Michelle
Dave says: My honey Melina will win.
I Say: One of the WWE's oldest trick in the book is to have a wrestler defeat the champion numerous times and then fall short when the title is on the line. I am going against that philosophy here and picking Candice to win the belt.

Santino Marella (c) vs. Umaga
Dave Says: Umaga will destroy Marella. Umaga is not the type of character who holds a belt but in the occasion it seems innevitable. There is zero chance that Marella will get a clean victory over Umaga. The only way he might win is through DQ but I see Umaga winning.
I Say: Marella is a joke. The only reason that he has the title is because it helped get Lashley over during his feud with Umaga. I say that Umaga wins the title back and Estrada will make his return here or once Umaga captures the belt.

Chris Benoit vs. CM Punk
Dave Says: My crystal ball sees Benoit getting the championship.
I Say: I agree totally. Punk is the future of ECW. Benoit is the present. Benoit becomes ECW champion.

Summary
Dave says: Edge, Lashley, Flair, Yang, C&M, Melina, Umaga, & Benoit
I Say: Batista, Cena, MVP, Yang, C&M, Candice, Umaga, & Benoit
