My predictions for tonight’s WWE pay-per-view:

WWE champion John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Randy Orton vs. Mick Foley vs. King Booker: My first instinct is that Cena overcomes the odds once again and retains the title. In this match, however, Cena could lose the title without even being the one who gets pinned. I definitely don’t see Foley or Booker winning. Lashley losing clean on Raw Monday almost makes me think he might win here, but it seems too quick to put the WWE title on him after he just arrived from ECW. That leaves Orton, who has gained a lot of momentum as a character recently. He’s the one that I think should win, but I’m going to stick with my first instinct and say Cena comes out on top.

World heavyweight champion Edge vs. Batista: For the past two pay-per-views, I predicted that Edge would beat Batista due to outside interference from Mark Henry. Edge won both times without Henry. Maybe “The World’s Strongest Man” will come through for me tonight. Even if he doesn’t, Edge wins.

Chris Benoit vs. CM Punk for the vacant ECW title: As soon as Benoit was drafted to ECW and Lashley was stripped of the ECW title, I figured Benoit would be the next champion. At this point, Punk is better suited to be a challenger chasing Benoit.

U.S. champion MVP vs. Ric Flair: In what could be one of the best matches of the night, MVP retains the title. I think it will be done in a way that makes Flair look strong in defeat.

Intercontinental champion Santino Marella vs. Umaga: The fans are not taking to Santino. Umaga regains the title in convincing fashion.

World tag team champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. The Hardys: With Matt and Jeff Hardy seemingly getting pushes as singles wrestlers, look for Cade and Murdoch to keep the belts.

WWE tag team champions Deuce and Domino vs. opponents to be determined: The mystery opponents might be stars from the past, according to The Wrestling Observer, which named Sgt. Slaughter and Jimmy Snuka (who is Deuce’s father) as possibilities. I think whoever the challengers are, they will score the upset and win the titles – only to quickly lose them back to Deuce and Domino on Smackdown.

WWE cruiserweight champion Chavo Guerrero vs. Jimmy Wang Yang: This could be a really good match if they are given some time and the fans give them a chance. I think Yang wins the title.

WWE women’s champion vs. Melina vs. Candice Michelle: Candice is far from what I’d call a good worker, but she has improved a lot from when she started. I just don’t see her as championship material. Melina retains.
