No Mercy Predictions for September 17th

Enter your predictions for No Mercy!

It's still a little early in the game, but these are my predictions as things stand right now.

*** Ladder Match, for the World Heavyweight Championship
Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho (c)

Choices: Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, or No Contest

My Prediction: Chris Jericho

Personally, I think they should have held off on this match until Survivor Series.  Why not have had this be Punk vs Jericho, and have Orton cost Punk the match?  Then you could have had HBK come out the next night to challenge Jericho at the Survivor Series.  But anyway..  I just don't see them cutting Jericho's reign short.  I'd really like to see HBK get one more run with the gold, because he's earned it more than anyone else in the company with the things he's done over the last 2 WrestleManias..  but maybe it's for another time. 

*** Match for the WWE Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H (c)

Choices: Jeff Hardy, Triple H, or No Contest
Finishes: Pinfall, Submission, KO / Referee Stoppage, DQ, Count-out, or No Contest
Interference: Yes or No

My Prediction: Triple H, Pinfall, No - no interference

Definitely don't see them giving Jeff the gold anytime soon.  I don't think he'll be in line to get it until at least after WrestleMania 25.  It'll be interesting to see how much offense they let him get in on HHH here, though. 

*** Match for the ECW Championship
Mark Henry vs. Matt Hardy (c)

Choices: Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, or No Contest
Finishes: Pinfall, Submission, KO / Referee Stoppage, DQ, Count-out, or No Contest
Interference: Yes or No

My Prediction: Mark Henry, Pinfall, Yes - interference

I don't understand why they ever took the gold off Henry to begin with.  (not that I'm not happy to see Matt get a world title - but I'd have liked to have seen him get it after Henry ran wild over ECW for a few more months)  I think Henry will get it back with help from Atlas. 

*** Batista vs. JBL

Choices: Batista, JBL, or No Contest
Finishes: Pinfall, Submission, KO / Referee Stoppage, DQ, Count-out, or No Contest
Interference: Yes or No

My Prediction: Batista, Pinfall, Yes - interference

Pretty sure Batista vs Jericho is where they're heading.  JBL vs Jericho was awful when we got it last year, so there's no way they're thinking of doing it again.  Especially with both as heels.  Unless they're thinking about seeing if HBK can get a good match out of JBL!  My "wacky" prediction for No Mercy is that Randy Orton will "inadvertently" cost JBL this match, leading to the new Evolution with Batista and Orton.  Will John Cena be able to overcome the odds and get revenge on Batista with Evolution back together? 

*** Match for the Women's Championship
Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix (c)

Choices: Candice Michelle, Beth Phoenix, or No Contest
Finishes: Pinfall, Submission, KO / Referee Stoppage, DQ, Count-out, or No Contest
Interference: Yes or No

My Prediction: Beth Phoenix, Pinfall, Yes - interference

This is more of a hopeful prediction.  I think Santino may help Beth get the win, so that they can keep Candice strong even in the loss.

*** How many titles will change hands at No Mercy?

Choices:
None
1
2
3
4 or more

My Prediction: 2

Too hard to call this with only the four title matches announced, but 2 seems to be a good number with WWE.

*** Which match will be the final match of the PPV?

Choices:
The WWE Championship Match
The World Heavyweight Championship Match
The ECW Championship Match
A different match

My Prediction: The World Heavyweight Championship Match

Gotta be the ladder match!  I don't think anyone can argue with that.
