No Mercy WWE Title Picture Still Not Clear
Now just two days away from No Mercy, the WWE is still deciding on what to do with the WWE Title picture. For sure they are going to go with Randy Orton in the main event in some regard, and after that, the opponent is still up in the air. Right now there seems to be two options being bantered about. The first is which taking the Triple H and Umaga match and adding Orton, making it a main event triple threat for the title. The other is using the return of Chris Jericho, which appears to be for sure happening from reports I am hearing, and simply throwing him in the match and then giving him the title. Putting the belt on a returning Y2J is not that far fetched, and would likely give a bit of a ratings boost right off the bat.
As far as option one, I have stated over the past few days and will state again that I don't like the prospect of putting the belt on Triple H right now. I am confident we will see him with the strap, likely at WrestleMania 24, but to throw it on him now as a way to simply draw some quick ratings or to make the fans happy for awhile is a bad decision. HHH is getting some of the bigger pops without the belt, so like most people agree on - he does not need it to get over.
On another topic, we posted last night the 2007 WWE Survivor Series poster featuring what we are hearing is a returning Edge. The premise for Sunday and for Survivor Series is that Edge will interfere in the Batista-Khali match, and that will lead to something between Edge and Batista for the Survivor Series. I have no idea about why he is holding a chainsaw, but some have stated it could mean he'll do something to the Punjabi Prison structure, but I'm not really buying that one. Posters for PPV's are a dime a dozen, and I don't think that him holding a chainsaw has any real effect on what will happen on that show.
This weekend we will have No Mercy Pre and Post shows on the site. Be sure to check back all weekend long for all the breaking news, as well as our thoughts and predictions for the event. The prematch show will post Saturday, while the post match show will be online soon after the event ends on Sunday night.
