therock picked Chris Benoit

I'd rather see Michaels win but I don't think Benoit will lose the title just yet after winning it at the biggest stage of them all. He should retain especially since it's in Edmonton too. Although could we be looking at a Michaels heel turn after that chat with Bischoff on RAW? Look for a possible screwjob.

Result: Randy Orton wins 0 points
therock picked Mick Foley

Foley has been hyping up his return on a full time basis for a while now, and beating Randy Orton for the title would solidify his status further. I believe he?ll win, he kinda deserves a win especially after battling Evolution for so long and going down to Orton at Wrestlemania. He has to beat the cocky Orton 2nd time round. Also, the Intercontinental Title is one which Foley has never held before. (the only one?)

therock picked Edge

Edge won't be losing his comeback match. Kane's push as the monster heel might take a declining turn after Backlash, look for Edge to start mixing it with the heavyweights after his win over Kane. He'll win with the Edgecution.

therock picked Chris Jericho

Like most encounters when there is a double PPV feud, whoever wins the first usually loses the second, that should be repeated here. Jericho has suffered abit lately since Trish turned him, so he should turn the tables here. I still support Trish though, although the CLB is due for a loss.

Result: Victoria wins 0 points
therock picked Lita

I'm changing my mind on this because I believe a feud between Lita and Trish looked set on RAW after Jericho interfered and Lita got the win. If Lita won the title, that would set up those 2 in a more exciting feud than what would be if it was Trish v Victoria. Those 2 feuding is kinda old now with Lita back, I remember them feuding afew years back. Lita all the way.

therock picked Jonathan Coachman

This match sounds like an inviting opportunity for heaps of interferences. Guranteed it WONT be a simple Coach v Tajiri match. Coach has Bischoff, Johnny Nitro, Al Snow and others who could interfere and cost the Buzzsaw the match. Coach also is skilled in the art of cheating.

therock picked Shelton Benjamin

I doubt whether Shelton's winning run will come to an end against the Nature Boy after scoring 2 wins over HHH. The only one likely to interfere is Batista since the other members of Evolution have their own matches. Benjamin's push will continue here, be interesting to see who he'll feud with next.
