WWE TLC 2009 PPV Predictions
With Sunday December 13, 2009 the WWE will present its latest innovative new Pay-Per-View known simply as "TLC". The 2009 TLC Pay-Per-View event will feature a series of title matches, each with special stipulations: one's a table match, one is a ladder match, and one is a chair match. There's also the combination of all three in the ultimate match, the Tables, Ladders & Chairs match (TLC). During this event, wrestlers will need to make smart use of the weapons available to themselves in the ring, and also try to avoid them. In the WWE title match, all Sheamus needs to do is slam the champion John Cena through a table to win the title. Meanwhile, Christian and Shelton Benjamin fight over the ECW title hanging above the ring, with ladders in play as weapons and jumping off points. Undertaker and Batista do battle for the World Heavyweight title, with steel chairs fully legal as weapons, while DX will attempt to finally win the Unified Tag Team titles from JeriShow. Their match will be the most destructive of all three, the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match.
So who's likely to win this Sunday? Let's take a look at all of the scheduled matches and 2009 TLC PPV predictions...
Mickie James vs. Michelle McCool
This one was just announced Friday night on Smackdown, a week after Mickie earned herself the #1 contender spot for McCool's Womens title. Mickie's won that title plenty of times, and will likely win it again. If Layla's part of the equation, I see her interfering and saving McCool from losing her title. Mickie will win it eventually, just not here.
Prediction: Mickie James wins due to a DQ from Layla/McCool.
Sheamus vs. John Cena
Let's see, Sheamus has run over just about anyone in his path since arriving to Raw. He's knocked Cena down twice, smashed him through a table, smashed Mark Cuban through a table, and ended Jamie Noble's career. All that viciousness, and trash talk, and he hasn't received a scratch from the champ, John Cena. So that will change Sunday when once again Cena overcomes the odds to win a big match, Hulk Hogan style. Expect Cena to hoist Sheamus up for the Attitude Adjustment before smashing him through a table. Still, it's nice to see someone besides Randy Orton, Jericho, or members of DX going against Cena.
Prediction: John Cena slams Sheamus through a table to retain.
Prediction: If not a draw, Randy Orton wins in sneaky fashion over Kofi Kingston.
Drew McIntyre vs. John Morrison
McIntyre is the guy personally signed to WWE by Chairman Vince McMahon. In his short time with WWE he's racked up some wins over R-Truth and a few others, but the biggest victory came just recently over IC champ, John Morrison. Although it involved McIntyre's sneaky tactics outside the ring, he still picked up a pinfall victory in the ring over the current champ. That set up Sunday's IC title contest, and with the path McIntyre's been on, it's hard not to see him taking the IC title to further his career and WWE resume some.
Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins via pinfall to become the new IC champion.
Shelton Benjamin vs. Christian
These guys have claimed they will put on the match that steals the show at the PPV. Most likely, they'll be in competition with the TLC match and Kingston vs Orton. However, these matches are always fun and these two competitors are especially skilled at making them that much more exciting to witness. Many believe Shelton is going to finally get a "major title" if you want to call the ECW belt that. However, there's also talks of changing ECW to a different format. That could mean retiring the ECW title altogether, or changing its name. That won't matter much in who wins this, unless they want Shelton to have won it before retiring the title. That almost makes his win less meaningful if and when it happens and he's carrying the belt. I'll take Shelton as a surprise pick here. Christian's had the title for quite a while, and Shelton's talented and gifted enough that he deserves the title at this point.
Prediction: Shelton Benjamin pulls down the ECW title.
D-Generation X vs. Chris Jericho & Big Show
It's hard to believe DX has been going for so long in the history of WWE without ever winning the elusive tag team titles. On Sunday, they've got a chance at finally putting those on their tasks completed list. The event takes place in Michaels' home state where a victory would be huge for the DX team. After witnessing the beatdown of DX in the ring by tables, ladders and chairs, as well as their impressive non-title victory over JeriShow weeks back, I'm going to take the pick of DX to pick up the titles here.
Batista vs The Undertaker
We all know Batista's been on the warpath with his destruction of Rey Mysterio. Now he'll grapple with a familiar foe in the Deadman, with steel chairs fully legal. Rey Mysterio could come into play in this one, but I think what we will see is Undertaker deliving a Tombstone piledriver to Batista onto the steel chair, to retain his title. This also makes for one of Undertaker's legnthiest title reigns in recent time, so amen to that!
Prediction: The Undertaker retains the World Heavyweight title.

So who's likely to win this Sunday? Let's take a look at all of the scheduled matches and 2009 TLC PPV predictions...

Sheamus vs. John Cena
WWE Title Tables match
Let's see, Sheamus has run over just about anyone in his path since arriving to Raw. He's knocked Cena down twice, smashed him through a table, smashed Mark Cuban through a table, and ended Jamie Noble's career. All that viciousness, and trash talk, and he hasn't received a scratch from the champ, John Cena.

Still, it's nice to see someone besides Randy Orton, Jericho, or members of DX going against Cena.Prediction: John Cena slams Sheamus through a table to retain.
Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton
Kingston has had a huge push, and Orton has been helping him achieve it. He may even eventually be put into the championship picture against John Cena at a PPV. For now he's got to contend with Orton, and possibly Legacy. Of course, WWE could take the high road in this "rubber match" with both guys tied at 1-1, and make this some sort of draw. Let's hope that's not the case. Kofi Kingston can really get himself over as a legit WWE superstar with a major win at this Pay-Per-View. Technically, he's had several other wins over Orton if you count the Survivor Series and his elimination of Orton during Raw's Breakthrough Battle Royal. As much as I like Kingston, if the match isn't a draw, I believe Legacy gets involved, or Orton gets a very quick RKO at some point to steal the win here.Prediction: If not a draw, Randy Orton wins in sneaky fashion over Kofi Kingston.
Drew McIntyre vs. John Morrison
Intercontinental Championship
McIntyre is the guy personally signed to WWE by Chairman Vince McMahon. In his short time with WWE he's racked up some wins over R-Truth and a few others, but the biggest victory came just recently over IC champ, John Morrison. Although it involved McIntyre's sneaky tactics outside the ring, he still picked up a pinfall victory in the ring over the current champ.
