The Highlanders vs. The Spirit Squad World Tag Team Championship
It's been awhile, but we finally have a Raw Tag Team match where the two teams are actually good! The Spirit Squad do a great job of maikng me hate them and The Highlanders are very entertaining. I'M ROBBIE!!! ......... Anywho, I'm actually looking forward to seeing the Highlanders win, just because the only other face tag team on Raw (Eugene&Hacksaw) doesn't deserve the belts yet and a Highlanders win will allow Cade&Murdoch and/or Vis&Hass to be on TV more and hopefully make the Raw Tag Division more watchable.
Who I Want to Win: Highlanders
Who Will Win: Highlanders
Kane vs. Umaga
As we all know by now, Kane is on his way out and even though he's been through so many fucktastic gimmicks (necrophilia, selling Shane's moves, mask removal) he's still cheered by many, including myself, because he is, w/out a doubt, a draw. He's a monster who has that "I can't be stopped mentality" to all casual fans that make them like to watch. He's one of the very few big men who can wrestle well (Taker, Show, and Umaga are also good) ad has contributed so much to the company. Umaga is a force that I believe can be a great main-event threat AFTER 'Mania XXIII. Plus, Armando has a cool name to go with his good managerial skills. However, Kane needs a win and I wouldn't mind this feud going on 'til Survivor Series.
Who I Want to Win: Kane
Who Will Win: Umaga
Carlito vs. Randy Orton
Jercho syndrome is running wild in the match. Both are trapped in that area we call the "upper-mid-card." Even though Orton is young and has a bad attitude, he can still wrestle and put on a great match when called upon (Summerslam '04 & '05 and WM21). Carlito is also young and I like the fact that his move set grows an extra move with each passing month, even if he's bitching. This feud will last 'til Survivor Series and I don't mind that, because whoever wins at that time could possibly win the Rumble.
Who I Want to Win: Randy Orton
Who Will Win: Randy Orton
Trish vs. Lita Women's Championship
The last match for the diva who made Women's matches watchable. Her match vs. Mickie at 'Mania 22 was the best Women's match I've ever seen and the backstory leading into it was great. She's a 6-time champ and should be 7 just to get the belt off Lita. Lita was great, but neck problems killed her wrestling ability. She's decent on the mic, but that's no reason for her to hold the title. Trish should go out on top and win the title so it can then be vacated and competed for in either a battle royal the next night on Raw or in a tournament.
Who I Want to Win: Trish Stratus
Who Will Win: Trish Stratus
Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro Intercontinental Championship
The rebirth of Jeff has been a total success so far and is really catching on strong. He's more fluent an on the 9/4 Raw, he was quite technically sound to go along w/ those high risk moves. Nitro has been a great champion. Cocky, arrogant, but he gets us to watch him every week. Or maybe it could just be Melina. Seriously though, both of these competitors are well deserving of the IC strap, but Nitro will probably retain just because Hardy might need more than one month of in ring action before he can get the title.
Who I Want to Win: Jeff Hardy
Who Will Win: Johnny Nitro
DX vs. The McMahons & Big Show Hell in a Cell
Could be good, but DX has got to stop being serious. Serious DX isn't a draw. Funny DX is. This match is overhyped, but hopefully won't be the main event. Granted, the 3 WRESTLERS in the match are good, but Vince, as extreme as he is (watch the DVD) should to stick to mic work since he's good at that. This match will be watchable and we will hopefully see an awesome cage spot, but it won't be Match of the Night. The nWo vs. DX won't happen and DX should win just to end this serious shtick and go be funny. Please.
Who I Want to Win: DX
Who Will Win: The McMahons & Big Show
John Cena vs. Edge Tables, Ladders, and Chairs for the WWE Championship
Oh my! Edge vs. Cena in Toronto with John's Raw ftuer and Edge's WWE Title at stake. This main event is awesome. Truly awesome. Now we know Vince has a history of screwing people in their own hometowns and this shouldn't be any different. HOWEVER, Smackdown will be premiering on CW, officially, on the 22nd. What better way to draw viewers than to have the hottest WWE Superstar on the Blue Brand on a new network? This match brings back the old "Anything can happen in the WWE" phrase that we all want to embrace. Both are well deserving of the victory and if Cena does go to Smackdown, then he could win the Rumble and come back to Raw via loophole. Plus, an Edge win could split DX and allow HBK to go against Edge in a feud I'd totally watch.
Who I Want to Win: Edge
Who Should Win: Edge
