Prophecies of The Tocc

No Way Out 2008


Randy Orton vs. John Cena

WWE Championship

Prediction:Randy Orton
Prophecy:This situation is so random. They're having the wrestlemania match before wrestlemania, and the way it is set up, there will be no rematch at wrestlemania either. The winner here will face the winner of the elimination chamber. So the question becomes, "Which winners would make the best main event at Mania?" With only 2 heels in the chamber match, and only one who has a shot (JBL), odds are that they're going to give Cena some time without the belt for a change. But it's strange that he got the nod at the Rumble if that's the case. As others have suggested, a draw here could set up a triple threat match. It's so hard to pick a draw though, as they are so rare. I'm sticking with my gut.
Result:John Cena wins

Raw Elimination Chamber

Winner Gets a WWE Title Shot at WrestleMania

Prediction:Jeff Hardy
Prophecy:Odds are that a face will win this match, which means Orton will win or at least draw in his match. So who would be a good opponent for Orton at Mania? Triple H is a definite contender. They have a history and HHH rarely misses an opportunity to headline a PPV. However, Jeff Hardy and Orton's feud doesn't seem over. The crowd would go crazy seeing Jeff win the title at Mania, and Mania is often when they give fresh former-midcard guys the belt (Eddie, Rey, Benoit, etc.). Jeff's even on the poster. It's so hard not to pick HHH here, but I really want to see Jeff come out on top.
Result:Triple H wins

Ric Flair vs. Ken Kennedy

Ric Flair's Career on the Line

Prediction:Ric Flair
Prophecy:I'm surprised Kennedy isn't in the chamber. The poor guy won money in the bank last year, only to have it stripped away without ever redeeming his title shot. Looks like he won't get his shot at Mania this year either. I guess he pissed off the wrong people. Regardless, Flair will not go out at "No Way Out". He'll hang on once again.
Result:Ric Flair wins

SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber

Winner Gets a World Title Shot at WrestleMania

Prediction:Batista
Prophecy:Taker had the shot last year. Finlay will probably never be champ. The rest are heels and won't face Edge at Mania... unless Rey takes the title in his match. I don't see that happening though. It looks like Batista will get the nod here.
Result:Undertaker wins
0 Points Awarded

Edge vs. Rey Mysterio

World Heavyweight Championship

Prediction:Edge
Prophecy:Mysterio hasn't had enough of a push lately to make me believe he has a shot of taking the title here and headlining Mania. Edge retains.
Result:Edge wins
1 Point Awarded

Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk

ECW Championship Match

Prediction:Chavo Guerrero
Prophecy:They're not even trying to pretend that the ECW World Title means anything anymore. C.M. punk was champ and fought in the Rumble to try to win a World Title shot. WTF? And now Chavo, the eternal midcarder, has the title. (Meanwhile, the Intercontinental title holder is main-eventing.) They probably gave Chavo the belt for two reasons. 1: To shut him up for a while. and 2: so C.M. Punk can gain some momentum trying to regain it. The only question is whether Chavo will last until Mania before he gives it back. They'll give him one successful defense. He's been on the receiving end a lot lately so it will go his way at the PPV.
Result:Chavo Guerrero wins
