Backlash: #279 (Site) -- #27 (League: WrestleHut 2000)
WrestleMania 25: #247 (Site) -- #17 (League: WrestleHut 2000)
No Way Out: #377 (Site) -- #43 (League: WrestleHut 2000)

Okay, I haven't been doing that great..  time for that to change!

*** Match for the WWE Championship
Batista vs. Randy Orton (c) 

My Prediction: Randy Orton, Pinfall

My Thoughts: The problem with this one is I'm completely undecided on how this match will end.  I don't think Batista is getting the title, but I could easily see him win the match by DQ to keep both guys relatively strong coming out of the match.  It's a distinct possiblity - maybe they made this show so seemingly stacked in good wrestling matches so that we wouldn't mind a DQ finsh in a title match.

*** Match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Edge (c) 

My Prediction: Edge, Pinfall, No - no interference

My Thoughts: Still don't think Jeff's resigned with the company, and if he hasn't yet, I can't imagine he'll get the win.  Hoping for some kind of Jericho/Edge alliance after this, possibly leading to Jericho turning face and challenging Edge. 

*** Match for the ECW Championship
Jack Swagger vs. Christian (c) 

My Prediction: Christian, Pinfall, No - no interference

My Thoughts: I think Swagger will get a win over Christian when Christian is about to get moved to another brand..  but not yet.  There are still a couple other feuds they can do with Christian as champion that they should do before taking the title off of him.

*** John Cena vs. Big Show

My Prediction: John Cena, Submission, No - no interference

My Thoughts: I'd like for Show to get the win, but it's hard to pick against Cena.  If Cena does pick up the win, I hope they'll move him into a program with Orton (and let Orton get a clean win over Cena).

*** CM Punk vs. Umaga

My Prediction: Umaga, Pinfall, No - no interference

My Thoughts: Umaga needs a good win, I can't remember the last time he's won on PPV.  And it's Punk's hometown, that's a signal that he'll lose!  Maybe have him lose here and then cash in the briefcase to make up for it?  (and immediately set up an Umaga/Punk world title feud)

*** Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio (c) 

My Prediction: Rey Mysterio, Pinfall, No - no interference

My Thoughts: There are so many guys on Smackdown who seem perfect for holding the IC title..  why give it to Jericho?  He doesn't need it.  I've heard rumors that he may win, and go into a longer program with Mysterio..  but why not just have Jericho cost Mysterio the title (against Knox?) and set up their feud that way?  No need to have the title in the mix.

*** John Morrison vs. Shelton Benjamin

My Prediction: Shelton Benjamin, Pinfall, Yes - interference

My Thoughts: Again, the same way I think Umaga might get the win over Punk to set something up for later..  I see the same thing here.  I think it's obvious they want to push Morrison hard, so letting Benajmin win here sets up a program later down the line.

*** Who of the following will interfere in Batista vs Randy Orton?

-- 4-Down Note: "Select the people that you think will appear. You can select more than one, and you will only earn points for this question by selecting all of the choices that end up being true. Do not select "None of the above" along with any other choices, or you will be guaranteed to not earn any points."

My Prediction:
None of the above

My Thoughts: If anyone, I think DiBiase and Rhodes will interfere.

*** Will The Miz and John Morrison have any interaction during the PPV?

-- 4-Down Note: "If The Miz appears during John Morrison vs Shelton Benjamin, but does not get physically invovled, it will still count as an interaction."

My Prediction: No

My Thoughts: I think it should be saved for later.  Miz vs Morrison could be a big match later down the line.

*** Will Shawn Michaels or The Undertaker make a live appearance, either backstage or in the ring, during the PPV?

My Prediction: No

My Thoughts: I'd be surprised to see either of them tonight.  I think it might be SummerSlam before they're back.

*** Will MVP interfere in any match on the PPV?

My Prediction: No

My Thoughts: He's feuding with Regal and possibly Hardy..  no reason to have him on the show tonight.

*** Will the Money in the Bank briefcase get cashed in at Judgment Day?

My Prediction: No

My Thoughts: It seems too predictable to do it in Chicago.  I'm thinking Extreme Rules.  One thing I know - Jericho needs to screw Punk out of winning when he cashes it in.  He's the perfect guy to do it.  It would be perfect tonight, he'd get insane heat from the crowd.  But I still think it'll be later.

*** How many titles will change hands at Judgment Day?

My Prediction: None

My Thoughts: And I don't think I'll be disappointed.  Looking forward to almost all of these matches.
