WWE One Night Stand 2008 Predictions [Updated]

It's once again time for another WWE PPV. This time it's One Night Stand - the one night where the WWE goes to the EXTREME! To be honest I was never a huge fan of these types of gimmick PPVs, but I suppose it's better than TNA's gimmick PPV, Lockdown, where all of the matches are in a steel cage. At least the WWE is adding a little more variety to the card.

Stretcher match
Shawn Michaels vs. Batista
I Say: I want to lean towards HBK, but since he won their last meeting I will have to go with Batista. I see a chance that the WWE will go with the storyline that I talked about in my predictions for the HBK/Y2J match at the last PPV; Shawn getting a "legit" injury and Batista not buying it and destroying HBK.
Update: I am changing my pick to Shawn Michaels. Don't ask me why. I just am.
Dave Says: Shawn Michaels is tough to pick against but Batista can't forever lose to him. Batista wins.

Falls Count Anywhere match
Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga
I Say: I get the feeling that Hardy's push is picking up where it left off before his suspension. Hardy wins and then goes on to try to regain his IC Title from Jericho.
Dave Says: Hardy wins by jumping off something gigantic.

First Blood match
John Cena vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
I Say: I really, really, want to say that JBL win win since this feud looks like it may continue, but I've seen this before - Cena dominating a feud. Cena wins.
Dave Says: Jesus, this again? Cena wins.

Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship
Triple H (c) vs. Randy Orton
I Say: In a surprising move, Randy Orton regains the title. Kick to the head anyone?
Dave Says: Deja Vu. Triple H, again.

Five-Way Singapore Cane Match - The winner of the match will face Kane for the ECW Championship at Night of Champions 2008.
CM Punk vs. John Morrison vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. The Big Show
I Say: Chavo? No. Dreamer? You're kidding, right? Morrison? Maybe, but probably not. Big Show? He could regain the title, but not now. Punk? Sure. Why not? The WWE likes to book a face v. face or heel v. heel feud every now and then. Punk wins the title shot.
Dave Says: Night of Champions??? Big Show wins.

Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship
The Undertaker vs. Edge - If Undertaker loses, he will have to leave the WWE.
I Say: I don't really see UT leaving the WWE, but when there are these types of stipulations in a match they tend to happen. Here is how it will go down (or at least how I would book it) - Edge wins the match and title. Undertaker disappears for a while and 'haunts' Edge to the point where Edge demands that Undertaker come back so he (Edge) can kill 'Taker's legend once and for all. UT comes back and regains the title. Book it! Edge wins. If not, another draw.
Dave Says: I will go with Edge winning the title.

Diva's I Quit Match
Melina v. Beth Phoenix
I Say: Phoenix's momentum has stalled since losing the belt. Melina wins.
Dave Says: [Actually Dave doesn't say anything. This match was made after he submitted his picks, but since he ALWAYS picks Melina I will put her in as his pick]

Summary:
I Said: Batista Shawn Michaels, Hardy, Cena, Orton, Punk, Edge, & Melina
Dave Said: Batista, Hardy, Cena, HHH, Big Show, Edge, & Melina
