For what it's worth, WWE sent a preview for RAW to TV stations saying to see the new WWE champion. However, plans can change on a moment's notice. JBL winning the four-way elimination match is considered to be a long shot. Randy Orton has held the title for so long, and since he is running out of challengers, it makes sense for him to lose. Triple H has been in the plans to win the title for months so he's the favorite. Even though John Cena has already held the title for a long period of time recently, business was strong when he is champion so he might win.

Because The Undertaker doesn't have any strong challengers on the horizon, the World Title match with Edge could be hard to call. Either Edge continues to remain a strong contender or someone could end up switching brands.

Shawn Michaels vs. Batista could go either way, but Batista is the favorite since it's their first match of the feud. It's possible that Chris Jericho could screw Shawn Michaels, but WWE might think that is too predictable of a finish.

It's possible that there will be an injury angle with The Great Khali since he is leaving for India.

The Matt Hardy vs. MVP match might not be decisive which could lead to a stipulation match at next month's PPV.

Wouldn't mind seeing somebody switch brands to fight Taker. The current Edge fued is really not good at all.

I blame Vickie and the crappy "La Familia" stable.

I still say Orton's retaining.

There's no way Undertaker is going to lose.

I didn't blame Edge for it, that's the core problem. They don't mesh in the ring together either like Batista does with Taker.

I'll say Orton wins if HHH doesn't but I picked HHH at WM and I'm picking him until he does win because I really do not see Orton's reign lasting much longer. He's going to have to lose it soon. He needed a long reign to become a legitimate main eventer but now that that purpose has been served, any day now.

Heel refs are fucking worthless so Jericho better not get any ideas

Not really anything I didn't know/expected before the pay-per-view, but I look forward to the show.

I want Undertaker to retain. Edge should get a run as the WWE Champion on Raw! I want Orton to retain the WWE title. I hope to god HHH doesn't win. BTW, where is CM Punk?

If you want Edge to get a run on Raw then why would you want a heel champion to keep the belt?

I never really thought of it that way. I want Edge to be WWE Champion in the near future and Orton to retain. Both of those ideas clashing never crossed my mind. Although a Orton face turn would be kinda cool. I know the first time he did it was a failure, but I'm getting a bit bored of him being a heel. Why not try it again?

Turning him would be a huge mistake.
