Survivor Series 2008 Predictions

World Heavyweight Title Match
Chris Jericho vs. John Cena
I Say:
The WWE loves to do certain things - That is to say they have become predictable when certain situations arise. Among those things is having a top superstar drop the title in his hometown or to have a superstar win the title in his hometown. Here we have the latter. Cena is returning from another injury and is being given an automatic title shot. I'm not sure if the WWE is going to give him the title, but he will win the match. This of course will set up a Jericho v. Cena feud leaving Batista and Orton to battle for a title shot down the road.
Dave Says: This is a tough one. Survivor Series is one of the big PPV and a title change has a good possibility of occuring but I'm not sure they would throw it on Cena immediately after his return. Not sire if he has yet shaken off all the "ring rust". And maybe I wasn't completely paying attention but it didn't seem like the WWE was building up his return as much as they possibly could have particularly since he is in the main event. I'm going to give this one to Jericho but this is likely the start of a long feud.

WWE Title Match
Triple H vs. Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jeff Hardy
I Say:
First off, Triple H is NOT going to drop the title to a relative newcomer in Kozlov and he is NOT going to drop the title to a guy who's one strike away from being fired (per WWE's Talent Wellness Policy). This is the match that I predicted for Cyber Sunday so I will keep the same pick and say that Trips wins
Dave Says: You don't get to have the Heavy Weight title as many times as Triple H without dropping it a lot of time. Since I predicted that the other title would remain on the champ I predict this one will go to Kozlov if for only a brief period.

Casket Match
The Undertaker vs. Big Show
I Say: This one is easy. Undertaker wins this match. The WWE could get back on one of their swerve kicks and have Big Show win, but I'll stay with 'Taker.
Dave Says: The Undertaker never loses a casket match and he wont lose one now.

Dave Says: I'm not going to devote any time to these so here goes.

Team HBK vs. Team JBL, Traditional Elimination Match
Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, Cryme Tyme and The Great Khali vs. JBL, Kane, MVP, The Miz and John Morrison
I Say:
I see Rey and HBK being the only survivors with JBL being the last of his team to be eliminated.
Dave Says: Team HBK

Team Batista vs. Team Orton, Traditional Elimination Match
Batista, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy and R-Truth vs. Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin, William Regal and Mark Henry
I Say: It will come down to Batista and Orton with Orton getting the win by cheating.
Dave Says:
Team Orton

RAW Divas vs. SmackDown Divas, Traditional Elimination Match
Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle and Jillian vs. Michelle McCool, Maria, Maryse, Victoria and Natalya
I Say:
When it comes to Divas Smackdown seems to take a backseat to RAW and this match will follow that belief. Team RAW wins (No offense Maria).
Dave Says: Team McCool

I Say: Cena, Triple H, Undertaker, Team HBK, Team Orton, and Team RAW.
Dave Says: Jericho, Kozlov, Undertaker, Team HBK, Team Orton, and Team Smackdown.
