Prophecies of therock

No Way Out 2009


SmackDown Elimination Chamber

WWE Championship

Prediction:Edge
Prophecy:Smart money says Edge retains here and goes on to probably lose at Wrestlemania. Why is Kozlov in this? Didn't he just lose a match to HHH/Khali? Anyway, I can't see Edge losing until he faces possibly Undertaker again at Wrestlemania. Going for a guess, I say next week another "accident" happens to Jeff and Matt Hardy takes his place in this match...either that or Matt interferes in this and takes him out to set up their Wrestlemania feud.
Result:Triple H wins

Shawn Michaels vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield

All or Nothing for HBK's Contract

Prediction:John "Bradshaw" Layfield
Prophecy:Since this storyline has just started to pick up and gain momentum of late, it would be a pity to end it here. I think it would make far more sense for a storyline like this to conclude at Wrestlemania where we finally see HBK put away his "boss" and set himself free. Plus if this ends at No Way Out, would they have enough time to set up decent Wrestlemania feuds for both men? I know the idea is floating around for Taker v HBK, but I'm thinking JBL wins here and HBK takes the Wrestlemania rematch.
Result:Shawn Michaels wins
0 Points Awarded

Jack Swagger vs. Finlay

ECW Championship

Prediction:Jack Swagger
Prophecy:ECW really needs Swagger to hold this title for a while yet, at least until Wrestlemania. ECW is looking empty at the moment with only Dreamer, Finlay and Swagger in the title frame, although each main event for the past few weeks has been awesome. Now with Christian on ECW (which was a great move by WWE when you think about it) this will set up a Christian v Swagger Wrestlemania feud. Dreamer steps up sometime around mid year, but he'll get the gold for sure.
This is my lock.
Result:Jack Swagger wins

Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon

No Holds Barred

Prediction:Randy Orton
Prophecy:I'd love to see Shane win this, and although this type of anything-goes environment is his speciality (think of his past matches against guys like Big Show/Kane) Orton will win here. It's hard to say what's going to happen next in the Orton-McMahon saga, but I guess we'll know by the end of Wrestlemania. I say Stephanie pulls a swerve and assists Orton at some point.
Result:Randy Orton wins
