WWE Royal Rumble 2008 Predictions

After a bit of a layoff I am back with yet another edition of Wrestleblogger predictions. Unfortunately, I am not being joined by David for this set of picks. I never received his predictions. Oh well. I guess I win! I can't be sure of this, but I think this is the first time I've done solo picks since the very first edition for Armageddon 2005. On to the picks...

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (c) vs. Rey Mysterio
I Say: Rey winning the WWE Title? I think not. It's no secret that I am not a fan of Rey so I have no problems saying that I hope Rey never wins another WWE Title ever again. I can't see Edge losing here so he is my pick. The only way that I see Rey winning is if the WWE feels the need to give Rey a non-title winning victory to explain a rematch. Interference by Vicki, Chavito, and The Edgeheads looks obvious.

WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
I Say: Hardy will NOT be winning the WWE Title. Hardy isn't WWE Title material right now (not that he ever will be). Randy Orton will be retaining the title in what should be the match of the night. I expect even more huge bumps from Hardy.

Career Threatening Match
United States Champion MVP vs. Ric Flair
I Say: Ric Flair isn't going to be having his last match against MVP. I'm a big fan of MVP, but he's not the guy to end Flair's career. Flair wins in an easy pick.

Chris Jericho vs. JBL
I Say: This is JBL's first PPV match back and he can't lose. After all that JBL has done to Y2J I have to say that JBL will get the DQ victory after Jericho can't control himself and get's DQ'd.

30-Man Royal Rumble (So Far):
Umaga
Snitsky
Hardcore Holly
Mick Foley
Cody Rhodes
Santino Marella
Carlito
Shawn Michaels
Ken Kennedy
Hornswoggle
The Undertaker
Batista
Kane
Finlay
Jamie Noble
Great Khali
Mark Henry
John Morrison
The Miz
Shelton Benjamin
Big Daddy V
Triple H
Tommy Dreamer
Chuck Palumbo
I Say: I'm not going to go through the whole list explaining why each guy won't win. I will just go through the guys who have a chance. Shawn Michaels, Kennedy, Batista, & Triple Haytch. HBK's Rumble winning days are past him, Kennedy isn't quite WM main event material just yet, and I just can't see Trips winning it. That leaves Batista. He will win. Don't ask me why. He just will.
