World Heavyweight Championship
Batista vs. Eddie Guerrero
-Already confirmed. Should be a good match. Batista walks out with the gold here after putting on a good show with Eddie.
Casket Match
The Undertaker vs. Randy Orton
-I don't think "Cowboy" Bob Orton should be in this match officially, but I see no reason why he can't get involved occasionally. I see Orton winning this when another heel comes down and kicks the crap out of Taker with The Ortons. Probably Doug Basham or Mr Kennedy......Kennedy....
WWE United States Championship
Chris Benoit vs. Christian vs. Booker T vs. Orlando Jordan vs. JBL vs. Rey Mysterio
-Granted, I added JBL and Rey Mysterio in there, but I think this could work. JBL can't win the World Heavyweight Championship, so he goes after "the most prestigious singles title on SmackDown!", which upsets Orlando, leading to a bit of a lovers spat between the two giving us some intrigue as to whether or not The Cabinet holds together.
-Chris Benoit retains the title here, or it is passed on to either Christian or Rey Mysterio. Booker T, JBL or Orlando Jordan don't need the title, and it probably wouldn't work out well if they did have it.
-A lot of people seem to think JBL will face MNM in a Handicap Match at No Mercy. That's actually pretty interesting. I can honestly say that would be a great way to turn MNM babyface. I thought that MNM would join JBL as "unofficial" members of his Cabinet, though. It may not be realistic, but I pictured Batista beating them in a Handicap Match in two weeks, beating them and forcing them to go to RAW, where they would turn face due to Nitro and Melina's previous experience with Eric Bischoff (he fired Nitro, and I'm sure you could make up some excuse as to why Melina was only a RAW Diva for a night or two) and Mercury's ECW background.
WWE Cruiserweight Championship- Winner Takes Title
The Full Blooded Italians vs. The Mexicools
-For this match you need Big Guido to debut on SmackDown!. But anyway, if any member of the FBI wins, Nunzio retains the title. If Juvi, Psicosis or Super Crazy get the pin, whoever makes it takes the title. So if Super Crazy pins Vito, Super Crazy is the new WWE Cruiserweight Champ. I think Nunzio will be on PPV this time around, and I don't think they'll forget his mini-feud with The Mexicools.
-Vito or Guido makes the pin on one of The Mexicools. The 'cools can't decide who gets to make the pin, while FBI shows fluent teamwork. The FBI easily dismantles The Mexicools leading to tension between their ranks in coming weeks.
WWE Tag Team Championship
LOD vs. William Regal & Paul Burchill (vs. MNM vs. Paul London & Brian Kendrick)
-I don't know, I forgot to consider MNM in my predictions. Anyway, Regal & Burchill are my picks for immediate challengers to the belts, and I think they'll take them here. If MNM is in the match, they'll get eliminated by Regal & Burchill, too, just to build tension between the two teams. If a fourth face team is in there, MNM pin them to retain some strength as a tag team.
Tag Team Match
Ken Kennedy & Sylvain vs. Hardcore Holly & Mick Foley
-OK, I know my predictions aren't realistic now, so I'll stop after this. Anyway, I can just see Hardcore Holly being Ken Kennedy's first feud, and he's already got a little something going with Grenier. Put Kennedy and Grenier together, give Holly a partner of choice, Holly chooses a man who is the embodiment of "Hardcore", Mick Foley helps pop the buyrates a little while working with younger talent. Definately not realistic, but I think it would be a good move, especially if Kennedy & Grenier go over.
