Prophecies of HBK SHAWN MICHEALS
Night of Champions 2009
Maryse vs. Mickie JamesDivas ChampionshipPrediction:Mickie James
Prophecy:The storyline for this feud has been pretty straight-forward: Maryse is ducking the better competitor in Mickie James, who seems to have her number. Mickie has had her number so well, that the WWE forgot that they need to make their champ look strong at some point, lest lose any interest in the match. So Maryse pins James in a tag match and sprays her with ARROGANCE v2.0. I still don't think the result is in doubt unless they want to stretch this for SummerSlam. Mickie becomes the 2nd woman to win both Women's and Diva's titles here.
Result:Mickie James wins

Michelle McCool vs. MelinaWomen's Championship MatchPrediction:Michelle McCool
Prophecy:This is exactly the problem I had with having this match at The Bash. That is, WWE Creative got lazy and just went with the "assumed" rematch, not even announcing the match officially until the Friday before the PPV. Consequently, there's no reason to care.
This is my lock.
Result:Michelle McCool wins

Kofi vs. Show vs. MVP vs. Carlito vs. Miz vs. SwaggerSix Pack ChallengePrediction:Jack Swagger
Prophecy:I like Kofi Kingston, but I can't help but feel that WWE doesn't have confidence in him as a top title holder yet, as evidenced by the fact that his first PPV title defense is a big cluster match where pretty much everyone has picked against him retaining. I have to follow the crowd, unfortunately for Kofi, because the awesome force that is Jack Swagger simply cannot be contained.
Result:Kofi Kingston wins

Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph ZigglerIntercontinental ChampionshipPrediction:Rey Mysterio
Prophecy:Eventually Ziggler can be IC level, but not here and not now. Rey just won the title back in a great feud with Jericho, so there is no need to have him drop it now. The only way I see Rey dropping this is if they are planning for him to be the next challenger for Punk after the Hardy feud ends. Actually, that might work, but I'll still go with Rey in this match.
Result:Rey Mysterio wins

Jericho & Mystery Partner vs. Rhodes & DiBiaseUnified Tag Team Championship MatchPrediction:Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase
Prophecy:I am intrigued by the TBD partner, but I don't want to get to exicted because these things usuall fail to deliver (Hogan in 96 being abormal). I would love to see Christian, but I won't hold my breath on that one. No matter what way they go, I think Legacy wins the titles to get Jericho into a more prominent role on SmackDown.
Result:Jericho & Mystery Partner (Big Show) win

Tommy Dreamer vs. ChristianECW ChampionshipPrediction:Christian
Prophecy:I don't get this at all. This should be Dreamer vs. Kozlov, not Christian. Dreamer should have lost the title a month ago, but I have no real desire to see Christian win the belt again. I guess I'll pick Christian to win since he'll have better matches with Kozlov or Shelton Benjamin, while Dreamer can start working with Abraham Washington.
Result:Christian wins

Orton vs. Cena vs. Triple HWWE ChampionshipPrediction:John Cena
Prophecy:It's not so much who's going to win, it's what's next. Let's see...they haven't elevated anyone on Raw to even potentially be a threat to any of these three men, so I bet we're in for at least two more PPV's of rematches, no matter who wins the belt. Wow, I yawned just thinking about it. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe Cena takes the belt and Triple H and Orton finish their eternal feud in a big gimmick match at SummerSlam so we can all finally move on. Of course, that will probably mean Cena-Show part XXVII as well, but what can you do?
Result:Randy Orton wins

CM Punk vs. Jeff HardyWorld Heavyweight ChampionshipPrediction:CM Punk
Prophecy:It's pretty obvious what's going to happen here, even without including Jeff's contract status. WWE tipped their hand by mentioning that John Morrison will probably be the next challenger for the World title, then having him beat Punk twice. Speaking of which, what's with having Morrison able to beat the World Champion cleanly, twice, while also being unable to beat eternal midcarder Kane on Superstars? Anyway, I can't entirely believe they won't go a different direction, but the possibility of Punk-Morrison possibly headlining SummerSlam is so incredible I just have to go with it.
Result:Jeff Hardy wins
