Wrestlemania Predictions
Wrestlemania is happening on Mach 30th. I'll make my predictions, based on both what I would like to happen, and what I expect to happen.

Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship: John Cena vs. HHH vs. Randy Orton
What I'd like to happen:
Not really sure, to be honest. I'm not a big Randy Orton fan, and HHH and Cena have had massive title reigns. The guy who I really wanted to see win the belt was Jeff Hardy, but his drug suspension killed that chance. I'd have Orton retain, just because no one expects it.

What I expect to happen:
Believe it or not, it's been four years since HHH won at Wrestlemania. Yet every year, people expect him to walk out of Wrestlemania with the WWE Championship.

This year, I think it'll happen. There's a huge potential program with HHH and Cena, but I think it works better with Cena as the challenger. HHH pins Orton to win the belt.


World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Undertaker
What I'd like to happen:
Unlike Orton, Edge is, in my mind, a franchise player for the WWE. I'd have him be the one to end Undertaker's streak, keep the title, and be the heel champion to the RAW face champion

What I expect to happen:
Undertaker doesn't lose at Wrestlemania. Here he'll win the belt.


Floyd "Money" Mayweather vs. Big Show
What I'd like to happen:
The Big Show looks in great shape, and I'd like to see a huge push for the guy. Have him beat Mayweather and look like a monster doing so. Expect the crowd to treat Big Show as the biggest babyface on the show.

What I expect to happen:
Something controversial where both men walk out trying to look stronger. My guess is that Big Show pins Mayweather, then afterwards Mayweather knocks Big Show Out and his group does a verbal ten count.


Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels (Career Threatening Match)
What I'd like to happen:
Flair, in trouble the whole match, turns heel when someone (CM Punk?) comes down to ringside to help him win. Setting up a Michaels-Punk feud and giving Punk the rub of being trained by the dirtiest player in the game.

What I expect to happen:
While being the guy to retire Flair would normally be a big push, Michaels doesn't need it. Still, I think this may be Flair's final match, and I expect him and Michaels to pull out all the stops in a classic that ends with Michaels winning and Flair walking away to cheers.


Money in the Bank Ladder Match
What I'd like to happen:
They announce a surprise eighth contestant- Matt Hardy. Hardy wins the title shot, challenges Edge for the Smackdown Title at Sumemrslam, and either wins the title or renews his feud with MVP for the US title.

What I expect to happen:
Not really sure, to be honest. CM Punk is my favorite wrestler in the group, but I don't think he's being given a big push. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sheldon Benjamin win it, then challenge the winning of the ECW title within the next month. Benjamin's been in every MiTB match, and this could be a reward for him.


SmackDown vs. Raw: Batista vs. Umaga
What I'd like to happen:
A double-turn... Umaga is beating Batista cleanly in the match, and Batista cheats (maybe gets help from Snitsky or the Great Khali) to steal the win. Umaga then heads to Smackdown to continue their feud.

What I expect to happen:
Batista wins a hard-fought battle between the two. No turn.


24-Man Battle Royal - Winner faces ECW Champion
What I'd like to happen:
I like Jamie Noble- great wrestler, great character- and coule easily see him as ECW Champion.

What I expect to happen:
I suspect it comes down to two men- either Kane (his last hurrah) or Colin Delany (as the underdog). Either way, I think Chavo loses the title.


Finlay vs. JBL - Belfast Brawl
What I'd like to happen:
This could be the match of the night. Both Finlay and JBL can brawl with the best, and a street fight match could bring out the best in both. I'm not sure who'll win- probably Finlay, as JBL can take the loss better.

What I expect to happen:
Finaly wins a vicious, vicious battle. Keep Hornswoggle away and this will be a great match.


BunnyMania Lumberjack Match: Candice & Maria vs. The Glamazon & Melina
What I'd like to happen:
Beth Phoenix is the best wrestler, and (IMHO) Melina is the best looking of the four. So I'd prefer that side to win.

What I expect to happen:
Never bet against the one actually appearing in Playboy. Maria pins Melina

Despite a VERY lack-luster year from WWE so far, there a couple high potential matches there. Flair/Micheals, Edge/Undertaker (hate on 'Taker, but he ALWAYS brings his A-game to Wrestlemania) and the MiB match always has plenty of high spots...
