Wrestlemania 24 Predictions
WWE Title
Randy Orton (c) vs. HHH vs. John Cena
This will likely be the main event, and because of that, it would appear that a face will go over. Cena is leaving to do a movie until May, so that leaves HHH as the new champ by pinning Orton.
Winner: HHH
Rating Prediction: ***1/2 - ****
World Title
Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker
With this little of build up, I can't see Edge being the guy to end the streak. I was originally going to say Taker wins via DQ to keep the streak and Edge keeps the title, but I've thought about it and changed my mind since Taker was injured last year and didn't get his long reign.
Winner: Undertaker
Rating Prediction: ***1/4 - ***3/4
Floyd Mayweather vs. Big Show
This will probably be awful with a ton of stalling. I see either Mayweather winning or Mayweather knocking Big Show out and Show then falls on Mayweather for the pin. I'm sure Floyd wants to go over here as most celebrities do.
Winner: Floyd Mayweather
Rating Prediction: *1/2 - **
Career Threatening Match
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
This is pretty much set in stone when it comes to the outcome. The real question is, how good will it be? Neither man is in their prime, but I think they could make tihs a great moment.
Winner: Shawn Michaels
Rating Prediction: ***1/2 - ****
Raw vs. Smackdown
Umaga vs. Batista
This was more or less they had nothing to do with Batista. I see him going over here.
Winner: Batista
Rating Prediction: **1/4 - **3/4
Money in the Bank
Shelton Benjamin vs. CM Punk vs. MVP vs. Mr. Kennedy vs. John Morrison vs.Carlito vs. Chris Jericho
When Hardy was in this, it seemed like a lock he would get the briefcase and walk away Mr. MITB. Now with his suspension, the winner is up in the air. I'm gonna go with someone that no one is picking.
Winner: Chris Jericho
Rating Prediction: ***3/4 - ****1/4
Belfast Brawl
JBL vs. Finlay
Could be solid. I see both guys and Hornswoggle bleeding in this match with Finlay and Hornswoggle celebrating in the end.
Winner: Finlay
Rating Prediction: **1/2 - ***
Bunnymania
Ashley and Maria vs. Beth Phoenix and Melina
Any chance of this match being passable was thrown out the window when Candice was injured and replaced with Ashley, who is one of the worst wrestlers the WWE has. Hopefully it's short.
Winners: Maria and Ashley
Rating Prediction: 1/4* - 3/4*
24 Man Battle Royale
This will be on the preshow. A face will win and the only face that makes since is Kane.
Winner: Kane
Rating Prediction: None
ECW Title
Chavo (c) vs. Kane
Kane wins and ECW goes in a new direction.
Winner: Kane
Rating Prediction: *1/4 - *3/4
