WrestleMania 26 Predictions
We've been in the desert since Wednesday night, and now it's time to give you some final predictions for the big show tonight:
The Streak vs. The Career
The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
This should be the main event, but word is it won't. Michales has been talking about retiring for awhile, and the Taker streak is the one real thing left in the business. Taker wins an emotional match, better than last year.
No Holds Barred Match
Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon
As much coverage as this match is getting, this is going to be a stinker. Hart is so limited, and Vinnie Mac is getting close to 70. With that, look for a brawl, some blood, and a Hart win in about 15 min.
WWE Championship Match
Batista (c) vs. John Cena
I love the build for this match, with Cena losing and getting beat up every week, but there's no doubt the fan favorite goes over here. Cena is the face of the company, the biggest since the Rock. Look for Cena to win, get the belt back in a good match that could be last, and have a long feud with the Animal.
World Championship Match
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Edge
A well booked match, and again, the fan favorite should go over here, but for some reason I can see them allowing Jericho to keep this belt a little longer. Edge will get the belt at some point, but I am not sure here. Jericho wins in an upset.
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Kane, Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, MVP, Christian, Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, Jack Swagger, Matt Hardy, Drew McIntyre
The latest rumor has Drew McIntyre going over, as he seems more and more on the fast track to the top. Christian is another choice many seem to favor, but again, this is a match for an up and coming guy, and I think today that is Drew McIntyre.
United Tag Team Championship Match
Big Show and The Miz (c) vs. John Morrison and R-Truth
Slated to be the opener, and I love the team of Show and Miz, and I look for them to go over here with a win. Morrison is rumored to be going heel sometime in 2010.
Triple H vs. Sheamus
Total filler match, and while Sheamus is an up and comer, they won't allow HHH to fall here. First real filler match for HHH at Mania since 17 in Houston vs the Undertaker.
Triple Threat Match
Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Cody Rhodes
I still don't see Orton as a fan favorite, and I think we could see a swerve here where in the end, Orton and Rhodes team up and beat DiBiase, pushing the son of the "Million Dollar Man" to be a face. Orton pins Ted, setting up the swerve.
Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk
Love this match, and look for this feud to have a long run. Mysterio is slated to join the "Straight Edge" life if he loses, so I say he wins here to stay as is and then his family gets more involved as the feud goes.
10-Diva Tag Team Match
Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Gail Kim and Beth Phoenix vs. Michelle McCool, Maryse, Layla, Alicia Fox and Vickie Guerrero
No shock they put all the ladies together for one match. With Vickie involved, look for her to get beat up, and the face ladies to get a win.
The Streak vs. The Career
The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
This should be the main event, but word is it won't. Michales has been talking about retiring for awhile, and the Taker streak is the one real thing left in the business. Taker wins an emotional match, better than last year.
