Chris Benoit vs. MVP will probably be added to the card. No frills, just some good storytelling. Hopefully Benoit retains. There, I said it. It seems logical to me. MVP counters Crossface, Benoit uses Air Benoit, MVP counters Air Benoit, Benoit comes up with a new way to beat MVP. I don't think Porter needs the US Title, and Benoit can then drop the belt to someone like Paul Burchill, or even Mike Mizanin.
They'll probably have ECW involved somewhere. I can see RVD facing CM Punk. Although I have my doubts about Punk really being with the New Breed, one can dream. Punk should go over here when Elijah Burke helps him out.
Mickie James should win her third Women's Title from Melina. I like Melina, think she's a good in-ring talent, and she's a great heel manager, but I think Mickie James winning here is the logical direction to go. Hopefully a feud with Jillian Hall would follow.
The Hardys facing Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch is something I really want to see. I think it is too early to switch the belts, but I think Cade & Murdoch deserve a good shake. I think a disqualification win for The Hardys would be nice here. Have Cade & Murdoch maybe whip out ladders or tables, setting up a gimmick match for Judgment Day.
I'm predicting an Intercontinental Title Match between Santino Marella and Johnny Nitro. Marella should retain, and get some steam into his reign. This should be a fun little match.
The Handicap Match has me uninterested. Bobby Lashley will retain. Umaga or Shane McMahon should win. Out of all the heels, Vince has the best chance. In other words, I feel this thing is really going to go wrong.
The Last Man Standing Match will be OK. I think the WWE are pushing their luck, though. Batista was inspired by WrestleMania, and expectations were low. I wouldn't expect lightning to strike twice. I'm thinking Mark Henry might come out and cause a Draw, which leads to Mark Henry Main Event Push #4.
The Fatal Fourway actually has me intrigued. They should have run this match at WrestleMania, I think. Edge going over would be the best move, however I'm beginning to see Shawn Michaels taking it. I certainly wouldn't complain. John Cena really shouldn't win, which he probably will, which will burn my interest in the RAW brand, again.
I'd love to see Mr. Kennedy run out just after Shawn Michaels has won the WWE Championship, and cash in his MITB title shot. Kennedy defeats Michaels to become the new WWE Champion, cutting Shawn Michaels' first WWE Title reign in nine years down to minutes. This would lead to a pretty nice feud between Mr. Kennedy and HBK.
