WWE No Mercy 2008 Predictions

WWE Women's Championship
Beth Phoenix (c) vs. Candice Michelle
I Say: It's been said that the WWE has begun to see Michelle as an injury risk and don't think she can go for the long-term anymore. Because of that the WWE is probably looking to get the most out of her while they can. For that another title run would seem logical, but I think that the WWE would like to see her go a little longer before they put the title back on her. Phoenix wins.
Dave Says: Phoenix

WWE Championship
Triple H (c) vs. Jeff Hardy
I Say: Triple H losing the title to Jeff Hardy? Not going to happen. The WWE Title is THE title in the industry. There is no other title in the entire world that is more prestigious as the WWE Title. I think it's pretty safe to say that Trips figure 'I'm letting this guy main event with me. Why should I drop my title to him?". Trips wins. Could there be win for Hardy w/o a title change? Sure.
Dave Says: Triple H

Winner becomes the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield
I Say: I see Batista winning.
Dave Says: Says: Batista

World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Shawn Michaels
I Say: This is THE match of the night. This may even be the match of the year. It's the culmination of WWE's feud of the year (Jericho himself said that this is the end) and perhaps their best feud in years. I think either guy has a decent chance of winning, but I think that Jericho is going to walk away with the title. Perhaps with Cade's help (BTW, the WWE is wasting their time trying to build up Cade to a top-level guy). Here's a longshot scenario - Kevin Nash helping Shawn win. It's no secret that Nash's contract with TNA has expired so don't be surprised to see the WWE pick him up and join Shawn in a non-wrestling role with a lighter schedule. It's a real longshot though. Also, interesting note - almost all of the Y2J/HBK feud has been scripted by Jericho and Michaels with very little if any input from the WWE creative team.
Dave Says: Jericho

ECW Championship
Matt Hardy (c) vs. Mark Henry
I Say: Henry regain the title, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Hardy retain. To be honest I don't get to see ECW very often.
Dave Says: Henry

Big Show vs. The Undertaker
I Say: Undertaker wins. Help from Edge maybe?
Dave Says: Undertaker

If Mysterio loses, he must remove his mask
Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
I Say: Rey Rey wins.
Dave Says: Mysterio
