SmackDown didn't get any legitimate contenders out of the draft. In fact, they lost one in Benoit. Still, something tells me Batista will not win the title back here. True, he is the only face on the active roster who has a shot; however, Mysterio is on his way back and after he gets his revenge on Chavo he'll take the belt from Edge amidst a power struggle with Vicki Guerrero. For now, I guess Edge will get a decent run, and Batista will move on to battle the big heels by himself. Plus, on the final SmackDown before the event, Batista got a decisive pin over Edge. As we all know, that almost always means things will go the other way at the PPV.
I think the only two with a shot of toppling Cena would be Lashley or Orton. Orton has been geared up for a title run time and time again but he keeps messing it up for himself backstage. Lashley was stripped of the ECW title and vowed to prove himself a champion on Raw. Regardless, I just don't see the title changing hands in this match. When in doubt, go with Cena. He's virtually unbeatable these days.
In a night full of championship matches, there are bound to be some title changes. This is one of them. Chavo has done nothing with the belt, and Yang seems to win every match he's a part of in the past few months. It's time For Yang's title run. Plus, Chavo has to drop the belt before Mysterio comes back seeking revenge. The title would just get in the way of their feud.
Frankly I'm surprised Santino has held the title for this long. That being said, I don't see much of a point in giving the belt to Umaga. Basically, I don't see either one with the belt for very long, so anything can happen.
Cade and Murdoch just got the titles. I don't see them losing them back in 2 weeks. However, I don't see a legitimate win over the Hardys either. I suspect a cheap victory or a blatant DQ. The latter is less likely, so Cade and Murdoch get the nod.
This seems like a setup for a big return match, but who could it be? The return of the APA perhaps? Nah. Maybe, as many of you have suggested, it's the Major brothers. They were just recently drafted to SmackDown and have no feud yet. I guess that's the most likely scenario. No matter who it is, odds are that Douche and Dumbnuts will retain here. They haven't held the titles very long.
