WWE No Mercy 2007 Predictions

Let's get to the usual stuff - It's Wrestleblogger predictions and I'm joined by Dave.

WWE Championship Match
I Say: Before I go further I just want to say that Dave sent me his predictions before either of us had learned of Cena's legit pec tear from RAW and being stripped of the title (and when the PPV was only 5 matches). I'm going to post his original prediction anyways. On to me. This injury has come at a horrible time. Actually it's never a good time for your top guy to be sideline for up to a year. Mark my words though when he comes back he is going to get a HUGE push. I promise you that. As for the WWE Championship, It's kinda hard for me to make a prediction since no details are available as to how the new champion will be crowned at No Mercy, but a new champion WILL be crowned as Vince said on ECW. The logical way that the WWE could go is to make a match between the man who was challenging for the title and the man who 'injured' Cena - Kennedy. At this point the WWE isn't labeling Kennedy at the man who injured him though. In fact the WWE looks like they may be labeling Orton as the one who injured Cena during that post-match beatdown, but it's obvious that Cena was injured during the match. As I have stated in other posts, it's only a matter of time before HHH gets the title back so they may just fast forward the plans and make the match a 4-way with the two wrestlers that I stated before along with HHH and his NM opponent, Umaga, and then just have HHH get the title that way. I doubt that will happen though. I am assuming that the match will be Orton v. Kennedy with Orton taking the title. For the record I was going to pick Orton to get the title before Cena got injured. Since nothing is known about the WWE Championship at this point, the pick for this match is not going to be held against me. One last thing - There are rumors going around that Chris Jericho could make his return at NM and somehow walk away with the title. That's doubtful if you ask me.
Dave Says: I'd love to see Orton get the title back but Cena is on such a roll right now. *ugh* that I don't see him losing the title in anything less than a major PPV which No Mercy isn't.

Punjabi Prison match for the World Heavyweight
Championship
Batista (c) vs. The Great Khali
I Say: I've read rumors that Edge may return at NM and interfere in the match. The rumors state that since Edge is pictured with a chainsaw in the Survivor Series poster that Edge will interfere in the Punjabi Prison match by sawing through the bamboo. Believe it or not, I don't think that that possibility is that far off-base. No matter what happens I think that Batista will keep the title. I don't think that either of these guys can climb a cage. Let alone a bamboo cage. If you recall the only other Punjabi Prison Match that the WWE has held was Undertaker v. Big Show. Big Show replaced Khali in the match due to him having to be pulled out during that period that all of those WWE wrestlers had unusually high kidney enzyme levels. In that match neither of the participants had the ability to climb the cage and the only reason that Underatker won was because the outer cage was broken open as opposed to being scaled.
Dave Says: WOW. Another Pajabi Prison match!!!! This is gonna be *snore*.......Batista wins

Triple H vs. Umaga
I Say: If this match takes place (see WWE Championship Match above) I think that Triple H will win. It's that simple.
Dave Says: A handicap match huh? HHH vs one measly human being? This is not a prediction of what will happen. This is what will happen. HHH will get a 10 minute entrance. After the match starts Umaga will beat on HHH for awhile because HHH is a team player and wants to put over young talent right before he pummels Umaga and beats him down with a sledgehammer. I expect Vince will get involved somehow. One websight I went on had a better matchup for Triple H at the next WrestleMania. Trips vs all the WWE tag teams and a tank. Triple H would win but not without working hard. Triple H wins this one.

ECW Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Big Daddy V
I Say: I have to admit that I am more interested in seeing a Punk v. V match that I am in seeing a Punk v. Dreamer or Burke match. They need to keep the title on Punk a little longer than just one month. I think that Morrisson will interfere, but that Punk will still keep the strap.Probably by DQ. I am assuming that Dave agrees (he made his pick when it was Burke or Dreamer) so this match will still count against Dave if he gets it wrong. On the brightside, He will get credit for it if he is right.
Dave Says: CM Punk

Finlay vs. Rey Mysterio
I Say: This match is stupid. Rey Rey will will win win.
Dave Says: With all the hype that WWE gave Mysterio I don't see him losing and even though Finlay has a pretty darn good win loss record I still see him as a glorified jobber. Mysterio wins.

WWE Women's Championship
Candice Michelle (c) vs. Beth Phoenix
I Say: Beth will get the title this time. I promise.
Dave Says: No Pick, but he'd probably say Melina.

I hear that the Undertaker/Kane v. Matt Hardy/MVP match that is scheduled for next week's Smackdown may be pushed up and will instead take place at Mo Mercy. If that happens I Say that Hardy and MVP win.

Summary:
I Say: Orton somehow gets the title, Batista, Triple H, Punk, Rey, Beth Phoenix, & Matt Hardy/MVP.
Dave Says: Cena (Yeah Right!), Batista, Triple H, Punk, Rey, & No Pick
