I'm with everyone who thinks this could be the sleeper match of the night. I honestly can see them putting on one hell of a fight with Umaga coming out on top. A few reasons for this:

1. It's a battle for brand supremacy, and so they'd probably want Raw to win.

2. The faces can't ALL be victorious. It's pretty obvious that one of HHH/Cena is winning, Taker is winning, there's no heel in Flair/HBK, and, hopefully, Finlay will win his match to end that storyline. A heel needs a decisive win somewhere.

3. As mentioned, Umaga hasn't had a win against a big name in quite some time. Putting him over Batista would put Umaga back on the map...and I'm sure the match would be done so that Batista comes off strong as well so he won't lose any momentum.

4. If the match rules, I can see either Batista getting drafted to Raw or Umaga getting drafted to Smackdown and they can continue feuding, and it would become a proper feud instead of just a thrown-together brand challenge.
