No Mercy Predictions


No Mercy comes this Sunday with the unfortunate news that WWE champ John Cena is out for 6 months to a year after a pectoral injury. This news and the fact that no title match has been announced as of this point, make it a tough event to predict. Any match could be changed or altered based on this news. Vince McMahon could easily emerge from backstage to set up a new stipulation on one of the matches, or to create a whole new match for the event. Randy Orton was the #1 contender for the title and has no opponent as of now.

Here's predictions for the WWE's No Mercy card based on this info:

Great Khali vs. Batista
(World Heavyweight Title)

Two men enter the bamboo structure, 1 man leaves, as World Heavyweight champion. Batista's been a champ for only a month so it's tough to see him losing this one. In addition, looking at the agility of both wrestlers, you'd have to believe Batista has the serious advantage to be able to climb out of this one, even though Khali will probably deal out some punishment.

Prediction: Batista gets beat up and bruised a bit but will escape the Punjabi prison to remain World Heavyweight champion.

Triple H vs. Umaga

Triple H is undefeated in Pay Per Views since his return. He defeated King Booker in singles action at his Summerslam return, then defeated Carlito in a No DQ match which was against his odds at Unforgiven. Triple H wins yet again, despite the Samoan Bulldozer looking for serious revenge. It's also possible more competitors get added to this match to make it for the WWE title.

Prediction: Triple H wins via pinfall over Umaga to continue the Game's winning streak at PPV's.

Beth Phoenix vs. Candice Michelle
(Women's Title)

Beth Phoenix looked poised to capture the title in her first attempt at Unforgiven. However Candice came up with one of the surprises of the event, beating the Glamazon to keep her title. To go out on a limb here, Phoenix captures the Women's title at this event, giving way to 2 title changes for the card (WWE also). It seems bound to happen.

Prediction: Beth Phoenix defeats Candice to become the new Women's champ.

Rey Mysterio vs Finlay

A grudge match added from Smackdown based on Finlay's repeated attacks of Rey. Finlay seems to have taken a role of helping wrestlers establish their path towards a title, as he gets put into matches with Kane, Matt Hardy and now Mysterio. Mysterio takes the win here although it wouldn't be surprising to see Finlay win with a DQ coming into play in this match.

Prediction: Rey Mysterio wins, either by pin or due to a DQ.

Big Daddy V vs CM Punk (ECW Title)

Punk has had the title just a short time like Batista. He was decimated in the ring by Big Daddy V a few weeks ago on ECW. Punk is a fighting champ and should pull out of this match somehow. Perhaps the Boogeyman interferes, or somehow V is counted out, but Punk will be leaving No Mercy still the ECW champ.

Prediction: CM Punk wins to retain his ECW title

WWE Title Decision

The No Mercy card is relatively easy to predict with the exception of the vacant WWE title. There's 4 names who seem poised to be wearing the belt and those would be Mr. Kennedy, Randy Orton, Triple H and Chris Jericho. Triple H already has a match, with the other 3 wrestlers not having any matches set up. The fair thing would be a Raw battle Royal (since Orton is the only true contender for the title), or some sort of mini tournament. There could also be a Triple Threat or Fatal Fourway set up. Maybe Vince says all the non title winners at No Mercy go into a Fatal Fourway as the main event with Randy Orton, etc.

It's incredibly tough to call here, because we've also seen Hornswoggle win a title and Vince McMahon win the ECW title. Wouldn't be surprised to see that come into play here. Anything is possible here but Orton is #1 contender and has been for weeks. Seems like he might be our next WWE champ.

Prediction: Randy Orton becomes new WWE champ, if not for some other major surprise at the event (Chris Jericho).

It wouldn't be surprising to see at least 1 more match added such as a Cruiserweight title match or a series of matches to determine the up for grabs WWE title. No Mercy makes for one of the most interesting Pay Per Views of the year due to the surprise factor over the WWE title.

Enjoy the event, and feel free to leave your comments on who will be next WWE champ (note: keep comments short or they won't be added).

my perdiction is a match that wwe has done recently for the cruiserweight title, a open challange gauntlet match. This is an easy way (without having ANOTHER royal rumble)to have a tournament and to introduce a new wrestler like Chris Jericho

E-Rocks prediction: Chris Jericho has a great debute and beats Mr. Kennedy to become WWE Champ

Haha.

I'm hoping it'll be Jericho, but I'll be happy if Orton retains too.

HHH is fine where he's at.

anonymous #2, John Cena won't be involved in this event sad to say..I'd like to see Jericho return to become the surprise champ too.

e-rock that's a good idea too, wouldn't mind seeing like a 6 man match for the title, something different. They could even have it with the various winners from the other matches (like HHH or Umaga, Mysterio, Finlay) and then throw Orton, Kennedy and Jericho into it..

For some reason I think John Cena will be there regardless if he's to wrestle of not. See they are playing a contradicting game on us. See its believed to be real because of the photos of the sugery and its believe to be and angle or story line because right before Cena did the hiptoss on Kennedy JR (Jim Ross) had said It would Not be the right time for Cena to get and Injury or some what of that nature and also Cena kept on saying "I will be there regardless the circumstances." I watched the replay on wednsday. Im going to re watch it at this moment. I guess we will have to wait and see at No Mercy.

XxTwistOfFatexX that's a good point, Cena may be there just to hand the title over similar to how Edge did on Smackdown, but the injury appears real. It was reason for Vince McMahon to make a serious announcement before ECW started live this past Tuesday. Should be an interesting event overall!

cena is the classisc " love em or hate em"... and there is such a majority of people who hate him...even if he is faking the whole thing they would use that injury for cena to still be undefeated as champ and take a year off after close to 2 years of action every week...
personally i just want jericho to return because i was a jericholic since he was in wcw and his move was called the lion tamer instead of the walls of jericho.. but kenedy i think is the best wreslter /personality as champ
