WWE Unforgiven 2007 Predictions

I've got to be honest. For some reason I am not looking forward to this PPV as much as I normally do when a WWE holds a PPV. Let's get to the matches.

Triple Threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship
The Great Khali (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Batista
I Say: When this was just Khali v. Rey I would have said without a doubt that Rey was NOT going to walk away with the title. He would have probably won by DQ or something, but there was no way that he was going to get a clean win over Khali. I can go along with the whole 'suspension of disbelief' concept, but there was no way that Rey would have any chance or beating Khali. Since Batista is in the match I will say that Batista regains the title and then either resume his feud with Khali or go into friend v. friend feud with Rey. I wouldn't mind seeing Rey turn heel and get mad at Batista for being involved in the match.
Dave Says: I'm going to go with Batista. I have nothing to add besides that.

WWE Championship
John Cena (c) vs. Randy Orton
I Say: I get the feeling that Cena will finally drop the title. Yeah, I know I always go against the rule that says 'Never pick against Cena' and then I always end up saying ' I should have gone with the rule, but this time I am fairly certain that Cena will drop the title. I do however had a little bit of doubt though. With all of Cena's rage it seems possible that Cena could go nuts and end up DQ'd. He'd still lose though. Bottom line. I'm saying that Orton will win and likely get the title.
Dave Says: Everything leans towards Cena. He hardly ever loses and this is his change for revenge. I would love to see Orton get the title but I just don't see it happening. WWE seems intent on making Cena their showcase wrestler (besides HHH).

The Undertaker vs. Mark Henry
I Say: Just like Rey and Trips won in their return matches so will the Oldman. Ooops, I mean Deadman. One other prediction. Undertaker will get injured in the match unless it's a short match which seems likely. By the way, Why did the WWE resign Mark Henry?
Dave Say: Always Always Always pick Undertaker. Henry could win but it's not bloody likely.

WWE Women's Championship
Candice Michelle (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
I Say: Although I always pick her to win, Candice is not one of my favorite Deevers. Beth is though, but that's not why I am picking her to win. I'm picking her to win because Candice's time with the belt seems to coming to an end.
Dave Says: I see Beth Phoenix winning the title in a squash. WHAT no Melina match? What kind of weak ass PPV is this?

World Tag Team Championship
Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch (c) vs. Paul London and Brian Kendrick
I Say: I think that C & M will win and the feud with London and Kendrick will continue. That's all I have to say about that.
Dave Says: The RAW tag team division is pretty weak but I have to admit that I'm a big fan of Cade and Murdoch. I see them keeping the titles for now and winning the match.

WWE Tag Team Championship
Matt Hardy and Montel Vontavious Porter (c) vs. Deuce 'N Domino
I Say: If I was booking the match I would keep the titles on Hardy and MVP so that's my pick. D & D seem a little stale. They have basically become the Highlanders of Smackdown. Has MVP been medically cleared to wrestle? Although the WWE did it a few weeks ago BEFORE TNA did it with Team Pacman, I hope that they WWE doesn't have Hardy do all of the work only to have MVP come in for a second and get the pinfall.
Dave Says: This may well be the match where Hardy and MVP break up but I think they might hold the titles a bit longer. I'm rooting for Deuce 'N Domino but I have a feeling they'll lose this one.

No Disqualification match - The No DQ stipulation only applies to Carlito
Triple H vs. Carlito
I Say: In my heart I would hope that Triple H wouldn't destroy Carlito in a squash. I think that Triple H will make Carlito look good. I have some doubts as to whether he will do the J.O.B on the P.P.V. for C.C.C. Triple H will win the match. He will use a weapon (sledgehammer?) when the referee is not looking.
Dave Says: About the only chance Carlito has is if HHH is bound, gagged, shoved in a burlap sack, wrapped in chains and dipped up to his neck in concrete. Although he'd probably swing his big mellon around and pummel Carlito. This is your iron clad, gold star, blue ribbon pick of the PPV. HHH will not lose.

ECW Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Elijah Burke
I Say: Burke is not going to get the title. If they give the title to Burke it will almost look like the writers would rather put the title on anyone who's not C.M. Punk. My pick is C.M.
Dave Says: CM Punk will win.... and I don't care.

Summary
I picked Batista, Orton, Undertaker, Beth Phoenix, Cade & Murdoch, Hardy & MVP, Triple H, & C.M. Punk.
Dave picked: Batista, Cena, Undertaker, Beth Phoenix, Cade & Murdoch, Hardy & MVP, Triple H, & C.M. Punk.

It looks like the Cena v. Orton match will decide who gets more matches right. No ties this time.
