Predictions?

[The Kid]

Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H: I think that Shawn Michaels will pick up a win in this match. I see it being a competitve and brutal but I really wouldn't expect any "Foley-esque" high spots in this match. Michaels getting the win sets the stage for a legnthy absence from Triple H.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Chris Benoit vs. Kane: I can only hope that Benoit will pull off a win in this matchup. This was horribly built and Benoit doesn't deserve to lose the belt in a fued like this. (Kane doesn't deserve a fued like this either, but he's used to getting ****ed by the writing team). I see this match being in the 15-20 minute range and Kane tapping out to the crossface after being in it for a long time, a la when he was in the Ankle Lock from Angle and refused to tap.

Winner: Chris Benoit

Randy Orton vs Shelton Benjamen: I really can't see Shelton picking up the win here. I don't really see this being a clean win, it will probably end in a generic Flair interference. Luckily for Benjamen I don't think that this will end his fued with Orton and I expect to see Shelton winning the fued over all but at this PPV I have to go with Orton

Winner: Randy Orton

Victoria vs Gail Kim vs Lita vs Trish Stratus

My prediction here is Gail Kim. Not much to say here. The WWE really are behind places like Japan when it comes to Women's Wrestling. Too much, the divas are signed mostly for their looks rather than there in ring ability. Even the term diva in my opinion is a little insluting to women wrestlers. They aren't refered to being on the same groud as the men and with these Diva searches it seems they are saying that any good looking girl can be a WWE contracted wrestler. Back to the match, it probably won't be a classic by any stretch but I think that Kim will be crowned Women's champ.

Winner: Gail Kim

Tyson Tomko vs. Chris Jericho: Let me start off by saying CHRIS JERICHO NEEDS THIS MATCH. With that being said, I really can't see Tomko winning this match. I think that this fued is just a transitional one for Jericho until the writers can find an oppertunity to get him into the main event. I feel that Tomko is much too green to even be in a fued of this calibre and I feel that it should be Batista that Jericho is wrestling and not Tyson.

Winner: Chris Jericho

Chris Benoit and Edge vs. La Resistance: This match is going to most likely be very predictable. It will probably be very simalar to their previous encounter with the former champs on the offence for most of the match and then Edge costs them the match some how. Benoit will be the one who is pinned so I makes Benoit seem like even more of an underdog in his match against Kane.

Winners: La Resistance

Eugene vs. The Coach: OK I think that everyone here knows that this match will be nothing more than a joke, which is a shame because from what I've seen, Dinsmore is a talented wrestler who deserves better than that. Fortunatly he at least has a PPV match. Eugene will pick up the win in this match and continue has undefeated streak and possibly even become a legitimate wrestler ( Ok maybe I'm thinking a little too highly of the writers.)

Winner: Eugene

This PPV can be very good or it can be very disappointing. I think that Benoit and Kane will put on a good match. Trips vs. Shawn could be a classic because of their fantastic chemistry. The women's match could impress me if everyone involved works their asses off to produce a good match. I'm intreged to see if Jericho can have a good match with Tomko who might be a better wrestler than he appears but probably isn't.

BTW 200th post congrats to me.

these r my predictions and wants. i didnt no that benoit was going 2 b in 2 title matches, but meh, its gonna b hard for him.

[KusToM KnucKs]

Hell In A Cell
Shawn Michaels vs Triple H

Prediction: Dont Know. Should be one hell of a fight but I just dont have a clue on who is going to win this one. They both deserve to get the win as they are both Legends in My book

World Heavyweight Title
Kane vs Chris Beniot(Champ)

Prediction: Chris Beniot. I really want Kane to pull off the victory but I just cant see Chris Beniot lossing till maybe Summerslam. This could make or break Kane's gimmick so it would suck to see him lose

Intercontinental Title
Shelton Benjamin vs Randy Orton(Champ)

Prediction: Shelton Benjamin. deserve's to win the title and should because it will do wonders for his career. I think that Randy doesnt really need the Intercontinental Title anymore any hey will move up to Main Event sooner or later

WWE Womens Title
Victoria(Champ) vs Gail Kim vs Lita vs Trish Stratus

Prediction: Lita. I couldnt really care who wins this match it should be boring as hell. Ill also probably just fast forward past it

Problem vs Solver
Tyson Tomko vs Chris Jericho

Prediction: Chris Jericho should win this one by a mile. If Tomko gets the win I will be one un happy camper

World Tag Team Titles
Chris Beniot & Edge vs La Resistance(Champs)

Prediction: La resistance. Beniot & Edge dont need it Resistance do. This should also set the seads for a Beniot/Edge fued when they lose and maybe something later in the night

Love vs Hate
Eugene Dinsmore vs Jonathen Coachman

Prediction: Eugene will get the win easy Coach = crap in the ring

Well there are my Predictions and Im thinking that it will be one great PPV

[unpossibl1]

I agree with you all the way, Knucks. Well, except for wanting Kane to win. With just about any other champ, I would say yeah, give Kane the damn belt already. But I think Benoit will benifit more from having a long title reign and cementing his main event status than Kane would from winning the belt at this point.

Other than that, good predictions. :)

[KusToM KnucKs]

Yeah the only reason I want Kane to win is because I fell that if he doesnt beat Beniot then it will probably be the final nail in the coffin of his gimmick as an Unstoppable Monster. Unstopable monsters dont lose 3 PPV's in a row & Kane is on a Hat Trick

[The_Wolf]

so is beniot gonna wrestle two matches?

[adamjday]

Well, I haven't seen RAW in months, but stayed clued up by reading the results, and watching BottomLine. So, here are my predictions:

Hell In A Cell
Shawn Michaels vs Triple H
Well, seen as Triple H is apparently taking some time off to make a movie, I vote for Triple H. HBK has also requested some time off, and this is the WWE we're talking about, so Triple H is bound to win. The two will have some time off following the match, with HBK returning shortly after SummerSlam. To support this theory is a reason stated below...

WorldHeavyweight Title
Kane vs Chris Beniot (Champ)
I would say Kane here, but Benoit is being portrayed as the "giant killer", much like Eddie. They'll get hammered throughout the match, and the build-up to the match, but still somehow win. Also, i don't recall Triple H having a one on one fight with Benoit recently (I may be mistaken). These two will fight at SummerSlam. Triple H is on the SS poster you see!

Intercontinental Title
Shelton Benjamin vs Randy Orton (Champ)
Shelton will dominate, orton will win through some sort of cheating, continuing the feud on to SummerSlam.

WWE Womens Title
Victoria (Champ) vs Gail Kim vs Lita vs Trish Stratus
Lita will win, and continue this thing with Kane. then because of Lita, Kane will have a feud with Matt Hardy.

Problem vs Solver
Tyson Tomoko vs Chris Jericho
Making Jericho lose would be a stupid move, where would it go? Jericho will be having a title push soon, surely, and him losing here wouldn't make sense.

World Tag Team Titles
Chris Beniot & Edge vs La Resistance (Champs)
La Resistance will win, Edge will cost benoit the match resulting in a slight scuffle, and a title match BEFORE SummerSlam. Edge Vs Benoit would suck, even WWE isn't that stupid!!! That can't headline SummerSlam!!!

Love vs Hate
Eugene Dinsmore vs Jonathan Coachman
Eugene, Regal will help him win, when Cade attempts to help out Coachman.

[Mac Daddy]

Triple H
This is the hardest guess on the card, but I predict that Triple H will beat Shawn Michaels in Hell in a Cell. Afterwards, HHH and HBK will both take some time off. When HHH comes back, he's due for a feud with Benoit over the title, and with that, there's no need for Hunter to job here in HIAC.


Benoit
This is perhaps the easiest on the card to guess. Even a fool could see that a Benoit/Edge feud is coming in the very near future, and although I do think Edge will betray Benoit to start it, I don't think it'll be here. My guess is Benoit will walk away with the title via interference from Lita and Matt Hardy/


Orton
This is another hard one. As much as I like Shelton Benjamin, because of his skills and enormous potential, this guy is not over and is not ready for the IC title. At this point, dare I say, Mr. Benjamin would make a lousy Intercontinental Champion. My guess is this isn't the end of this feud and Mr. Orton will pick up the victory of the first of many battles between these two men.


Jericho/Tyson Tomko
I honestly am undecided about this match, but for the sake of making a prediction, I predict Jericho will come out on top. But I have my doubts. As much as I hate the idea, many have said that this is the place Christian will return to continue his feud with Jericho that will go into Summerslam. That's a crappy idea, IMO. Jericho needs to get this business over with, but in the end, my prediction on this one is really wishful guessing.


Gail Kim
Trish Stratus'll be busy with whatever she's doing, Victoria's reign has ran its course, and Lita is involved with the Human Wrecking Machine. My guess is its time for Gail Kim to rise to the occassion once again and become Women's champ.


La Resistance
A given.


Eugene
Don't care enough to give an explanation.

[D-Dogg]

Hell In A Cell
Shawn Michaels
vs
Triple H

Winner: I'm like most i just can't decide i think i would put the favor in HHH but you never know i mean history shows both men have 2 victories over one another and then 2 draws so this is the end of it the one to truly end this feud and will probably be the last time we see HHH vs. HBK ever again so my decision is unknown but if i had to absolutely pick someone the i would go with HHH

WorldHeavyweight Title
Kane
vs
Chris Beniot(Champ)

Winner: Benoit, although i hate to Kane's gimmick destroyed Benoit's title reign is far from over he still has a heck of alot more to accomplish as a champ and truly solidify himself as the real **** in this business i see something to do with Lita and Matt Hardy since both have had alot of RAW time yet Matt isnt even on the card and Lita had a low card match so they will deffinatley appear sometime in the match

Intercontinental Title
Shelton Benjamin
vs
Randy Orton(Champ)

Winner: Orton, Now i saw this match at WWE Tour of Defiance and Orton won with a low blow a role up i think the same type of thing will happen at Badd Blood now Orton doesn't need it anymore and Benjamin deserves it BUT this fued has yet to finish and i think another match at Vengeance and then one last match at SummerSlam maybe with gimmicks thrown in their will settle this score with Shelton being the new IC Champ but for Badd Blood this one is Randy's

WWE Womens Title
Victoria(Champ) vs Gail Kim vs Lita vs Trish Stratus

Winner: Gail Kim, she beat Victoria 3 times in a row and originally was going in this match alone then again with that said this could possibly mean that Victoria retains and then Gail takes it in a one on one ahh well iv made my prediction can't be arsed taking Gail walks out the new Womens Champ

Problem vs Solver
Tyson Tomoko
vs
Chris Jericho

Winner: Chris Jericho, Another match i saw at Tour of Defiance but with a No DQ Stip (stipulation was announced during the show so same thing may take place at Badd Blood) and Jericho took the win and just so you guys know yeah Tomko is crap i don't expect much but if Jerich doesn't win i will very pissed off hopefully Jericho will have one last match in this little fued a one on one with Trish to finally settle all of it

World Tag Team Titles
Chris Beniot & Edge
vs
La Resistance(Champs)

Winners: La Resistance, We need a legit team holding the belts and LR are the best team Raw has also with the Edge/Benoit fued looking to set this winning back the belts wouldn't work also back to WWE Tour of Defiance Edge turned heel during a match with Flair because the fans refused to cheers Edge so possibly this was a sign of things to come

Love vs Hate
Eugene Dinsmore
vs
Jonathen Coachman

Winner: Eugene, He is a good wrestler and Coach is just cannon fodder there will be something interesting in it not just a straight one on one because Coach doesn't do them and having a squash match is crap on a P.P.V and having Coach get the upper hand on Eugene is even worse so all i can say is EUGENE! EUGENE!!! EUGENE!!!!!

[Unknown]

Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H: Hopefully this match will end the feud for a very very long time. I see HHH winning the match cleanly then taking some time off to film his movie. Both men are set for absences but HBK is set for the longer one so I see HHH winning and going into the single's program that should have happened going to WM with Benoit.

Winner: HHH

Chris Benoit vs. Kane: I really don't see Kane winning this matchup. I think they will use Benoit's going through two matchups as a way to build him as a more credible World Champion. Kane is in the middle of a program with Lita and if he does win the belt he'll end up feuding with Matt Hardy over it? Nah, I just don't see his character at this time built up for a World Title run. Benoit needs this win and a strong feud going into Vengeance to get the World Title back into the spotlight because it has really been pushed into the backburner in the past month.

Winner: Chris Benoit

Randy Orton vs Shelton Benjamin: Randy Orton will pick up the win. As Mr. McMahon said, Benjamin wouldn't make a sufficient IC champ at this time. He has no character right now other than being built as a guy with luck. I see this feud going on until Vengeance where it will end in a 2 out of 3 falls matchup. After Bad Blood, Benjamin will hopefully get some new music, will develop more of a mean streak, will drop the happy go lucky character, and will get some more time on the mic to establish his character. A guy who is supposed to becoming an IC champ shouldn't come out to dead silence. It's not his fault as he's been built as a Maven character since coming to Raw but hopefully that will change.

Winner: Randy Orton

Victoria vs Gail Kim vs Lita vs Trish Stratus

I would say Trish Stratus because she currently has the strongest character out of the women but she has held the belt so many times before. At the same time she hasn't held it as a heel so that would be interesting. For it to work though she would have to get some mic skills or just let Christian do the talking because she is more convincing as a heel by her actions. She just can't play a heel on the mic. I would say Gail Kim but they killed all of her steam. They kept her off of Raw when she should have been there last week in some capacity, didn't let her get any real mic time, and didn't let her destroy Stacy the two times they met up to add that viciousness to her character. After a few months of building, I see her getting the belt. Lita doesn't need the woman's title right now. At the same time, she needs to polish her in ring work as she is not up to par with the other ladies. Victoria needs to drop the belt and adopt the psycho character again. It seems that her like HHH's character is much better when she is chasing the belt. This is a real tough one...I'll go with Gail Kim as she's the only challenger for the belt unoccupied at the moment and she can use the title to get her character over more.

Winner: Gail Kim

Tyson Tomko vs. Chris Jericho: Jericho will win. Anything less will be unacceptable. After this feud, he needs to feud with a stronger heel character.

Winner: Chris Jericho

Chris Benoit and Edge vs. La Resistance: Just as many others said, it will just add heat to the Benoit/Edge feud. I then see Edge asking Benoit for a World Title match. Benoit would then give him the match. Throughout the night they'd play up their friendship like Brock and Angle did. Bischoff would then come out and make them tag up against someone (any two heels) to say if they really have a strong friendship. He'll say that two guys that want the World Heavyweight title can never be friends and that the World Title will destroy their friendship because they'll be looking for what's really important which is the World title. After the match, Edge would brutally assault Benoit like Brock did to Angle at the beginning of their single's feud turning him heel. Back to the match, La Resistance will get the win as Raw needs a real tag team with the belts right now to build the division around.

Winners: La Resistance

Eugene vs. The Coach: I see Eugene winning to continue his streak. Hopefully they'll put him in a team with Regal to give the Raw tag division another team. They have to be careful not to overexpose the Eugene character like they did a week ago. Putting him in a tag team would help that as he won't be forced into the spotlight that much.

Winner: Eugene

I see Bad Blood being a successful PPV. Despite the last minute rush, I don't see any match that will disappoint other than the Eugene/Coach thing which is just there for comic relief. Maybe they'll put it in the middle of the card so that it will not make the show seem unbalanced. All four titles being defended at the PPV is a good sign as they need to make the belts seem very important. Hopefully this will be one of the few strong single brand PPVs of the year.

[legendaryken]

My list is going to seem quite familiar to those who have read the posts above, but here goes:

Michaels to win HIAC, but only after he takes a lot of punishment.

Benoit to retain. Kane isn't 'over' enough to headline another PPV.

Orton to retain. Benjamin's not ready yet

Y2J to beat someone we've barely heard of. He's due a break and a major push any time soon.

Gail Kim to be new Women's Champ. They were itching to make her a big star before she was injured.

La Resistance to retain. They can't keep both straps on Benoit for too long.

Eugene....unless there's major outside interference but even then, why let the Coach end an unbeaten streak.

[adamjday]

Well it seems like my prediction about Triple H fighting Benoit at Summerslan will happen, as Triple H's movie seems to have been put on hold, according to Prowrestling.com


Triple H will now be available to WWE this summer season. He was originally scheduled to take time off so he could film his leading role for an upcoming WWE Films production, however due to various un-known problems the movie has no been put on hold.

There are some rumors stating that Chris Benoit/Edge could headline this years Summerslam PPV in August. However, with the news of Triple H not taking time off to shoot his movie, this idea could be scraped as it's likely WWE would like to have Triple H in the main-event of the event most probably getting a shot at Benoit's World Title.

So my reasons weren't quite spot-on, but isn't wrestling becoming too predictable now? i'd like to see how accurate my predictions turn out to be.

[Unknown]

One more thing to add.

I liked the post match interview with Benoit. It made it seem like a real sport and competition. Benoit looked like a star in that segement and was able to hammer home his new catchphrase "Chris Benoit is for real". He was portrayed as a true main eventer last night. I can see a T-shirt coming with this catchphrase. It would sell IMO if they ever had Benoit coming out in regular clothes and the t-shirt :) . That's probably the only thing I think is wrong with his character. It looks like his mic skills have developed so why not give it a go? It would be strange seeing him not in his wrestling attire though.
