Your's truely is back with Backlash predictions for this Sunday's Raw PPV. Enjoy!
Tajiri vs Coach
This gives Tajiri a chance to show off his skills. I think Tajiri is a great wrestler but, because of his size, he was hardly given time to shine. This match will be the joke match of the card. I will be severely disappointed if Coach gets ANY offence, unless Al is involved somehow otherwise it should be all Tajiri.
My Pick - Tajiri
Women's Title
Victoria(c) vs Lita
What kind of joke is this? There was a tourney for the Women's Title, yet Vicky hasn't been seen on Raw in ages!! They could have at least had some sort of confrontation last week. I wonder what's going to happen with Vicky's character now that Stevie is (apparently) heel. I think that Stevie will be the difference maker in this match (and, no, I'm not just saying that because I'm a Stevie Mark:p). I mean, Stevie could side with Victoria and help her out, or he could cost her the title. Personally I think it'd make for a good storyline, and it would get Stevie on Raw, if he cost Vicky the title.
My Pick - Lita
Shelton Benjamin vs Ric Flair
Considering he's got two straight wins against The Game, I would be shocked if he didn't pull out the victory. On the other hand, Flair IS the dirtiest player in the game. Could you imagine if Flair won? They could build a Flair/Trips feud around the fact that Flair beat Benjamin and Trips didn't. I'd love to see that. However, Batista will be the difference maker causing Shelton the match.
My Pick - Flair
Edge vs Kane
Now here's a dilema. Push the returning Edge and destroy whatever's left of the "monster", or build the monster and destroy the push. The WWE did a piss-poor job of booking this match. However, the obvious pick is Edge.
My Pick - Edge
Chris Jericho vs Christian & Trish
Judging by the match these two had at WM, I'm looking forward to this match. These two will put on a quality match, and Trish will be there as eye candy. I see the outcome to be similar to the Lesnar/Heyman vs Hardyz match at Judgement Day about a month ago. Christian will somehow destroy Jericho and Trish will come in for the cover.
My Pick - Christian & Trish
Cactus Jack vs Randy Orton
Ah, the good ol' hardcore matches. How I miss them. Anyways, here's what I see happening...Orton gets the win, somehow. After the match, Batista & Flair come out with the Hardcore Title, making Orton the IC and Hardcore Champ. Not only will this make people hate Orton for destroying a beloved legend, but it also brings the Hardcore title back into the fold.
My Pick - Orton
World Heavyweight Title
Chris Benoit(c) vs Shawn Michaels vs Triple H
As much as I hate the fact that this is a rematch I'm really looking forward to this match, especially if it lives up to the standards of their first encounter. Rather than having Triple H tap out, I see Benoit making Michaels tap, thus furthering their feud and pushing Triple H far to the ends of the earth.
My Pick - Benoit
Well, there you go. My Backlash predictions.
Have a great weekend. I will be back Saturday with The Complete Shot.
