Judgment Day Predictions!

FIRST AND FOREMOST: Take a look at the Judgment Day poster on the right. Kane is featured on it, yet Kane is not even booked for a match on this PPV - will he make some sort of impact? Keep an eye out for that.

Let the predictions begin! Let's go on down the card:

Carlito vs. Ric Flair
This is a cool feud. I think Ric Flair will eventually want to put Carlito over, but I also think that they'll want to drag out the feud beyond this PPV.
Winner: Ric Flair

Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton
We've heard rumors that HBK and Cena will be holding a feud this summer, which leads me to believe that HBK will pick up the win here. This might also be a good way for WWE to punish Orton for his recent actions.
Winner: HBK

Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk
I was going to pick Punk, but then I realized that there's no way for him to move up in ECW with Lashley vs. Snitsky being the next championship feud. This leads me to believe that the Burke vs. Punk feud will continue, and it's fine by me. Through some cheap method (maybe interference from Cor Von?)...
Winner: Elijah Burke

Chris Benoit vs. MVP for the United States Championship
So I've picked MVP to beat Benoit for the past two PPVs...I'll pick him again. He and Benoit put on AWESOME matches and I think the feud will continue.
Winner: MVP

Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Umaga vs. Bobby Lashley for the ECW Championship
This is the match that will put Bobby Lashley over...I'm not sure how well a feud with Snitsky will follow this.
Winner: Bobby Lashley

Edge vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship
If WWE wanted Batista to be the World Heavyweight Champion then they would have had him beat Taker in that cage match. I think Batista will be feuding with Mark Henry anyway while Edge feuds with...Matt Hardy.
Winner: Edge

John Cena vs. The Great Khali for the WWE Championship
This one is actually very tough to call. I think that the purpose of this feud is to try to get Cena over to the point where he's not booed anymore, so if Cena lost and then won it back in the next couple of months then that might really put him over. Yet I've learned...never bet against Vince's guys. (Also: look for some interference from HBK to help Cena pull out the victory)
Winner: John Cena

That's the card! Post your responses, especially your disagreements. I'll post a follow-up to the PPV to see how I did.
