Predictions

WWE Championship
This match seems interesting.I dont see it being good but I think it will be interesting.With Lashley and Cena being so high and mighty on Vince's list neither of them will lose clean to the other.If Lashley lost clean then they have nothing for him because hes supposed to be unstopable.Probably a double count out.

World Heavyweight Championship
Meh....the rivary was good two years ago.Now it popped up out of nowhere.Kane has become more sluggish and there is no way Edge is losing.I hope they give him a clean win.For sure though Edge is leaving champion.

ECW Championship
This match should be match of the night if the writers didn't screw it up.This is going to be an amazing match.I think Nitro will win but set up another match at Summerslam where Punk will win.

United States Championship
MVP is on fire as of now and this could be match of the night as well.Both men are just so talented.I see this being a solid contest.MVP will probaly win with the use of the ropes or something like that.

Womens Championship
This is just way too overdone.This is over with.Of course Candice will win.

Texas Bullrope Match
This is probably going to suck really bad.I see it just as a way to get Cody on tv.Randy Orton with the win,

Khalis Open Challenge
This is going to suck so bad it will be amazing.Batista with the horrible win.

My Predictions

WWE Championship
This one to me isnt going to be very good it wont be terrible though..It'll be interesting if theres some type of interference or DQ..either way Cena is superman and will retain.

World Heavyweight Championship
This wont be anything special its been built up good so far..id like as well to see Edge get a clean win but i predict Edge wins with a spear and foot on the ropes no way hes dropping the belt here...this will continue

ECW Championship
This one should be match of the night givin proper time Punk and Nitro are both skilled in the ring and they can steal the show with this one but i see Nitro retaining somehow and dropping it at SS to Punk

US Championship
This should be a very good match and could possibly be better than the ECW Championship match..it will prabaly be a good 12 minute or so match with Hardy winning i just think he will come out on top with his push and this will lead to a rematch at SS

Texas Bullrope Match
Nothing great Dusty is alot older and wont be moving around good..Cody will somehow get involved..These bullrope matches seem to dissapoint..orton with the win and will be off to SS to face Cody

Womens Championship
Yawn...is about all I can say about this one this feud is getting very boring i hope it ends with Candice winning and bringing Jillian up to feud with her...Candice wins in a boring match

Batista vs Kahli
This is going to be a car crash in the ring..Batista wins with a spear and they do pretty much the same thing they did with Cena OMG OMG he just beat Kahli boring match should have a good laugh watchin this one

The PPV to me is not gonna be worth watching i see one title change and thats the US Title..ill just save up for SS with the King of Kings returns

 

[Freedom 35]

my i cant believe im picking these matches predictions

WWE Championship
i have no idea how this will play out and thats bad because it doesnt interest me ive got lashley winning because if he loses to cena it will be clean and a clean loss would kill his momentum either that or a DQ because cena is so "fired up" to win hell get out of control and hit him with the belt

Bullrope Match
theres no way orton will lose because its not like a win will help Dusty in the future because this could be his last match i see cody trying to help but getting rkod anyway orton will win

ECW World title
if i were to order the pay per view this would be the match id want to see Nitro finally interests me and cm punk is going to be huge for years to come and they should put on a great match i have nitro winning to further the feud between the two

Womens title
doesnt matter at all to me neither are exciting but i will go with candice because shes from the mother land of wisconsin

US Championship
this match is very interesting to me because it has all signs pointing to matt hardy and both wrestlers are very talented. I see alot of nears falls and lots of momentum changes if they are given enough time this will be the match of the night

World Heavyweight Title
the buildup to this match has been great and any match with Edge in it cant be bad even with an aging kane who cant move as well as before i dont want to see Edge winning in a weak way but he will win with a foot on the ropes probably theres no way he wll lose the title

Batista vs Khali
isee the both botching moves and severely injuring each other and are both never able to wrestle again the winners are wrestling fans around the world

 

[SrWilson]

WWE Championship - LOL Lashley winning would be interesting like Foley says the odds are cena won't keep the title much lon......oh what am I talking about Cena is super man he retains.


Bullrope Match - Cmon its obvious Ortons gonna win am I the only one who smells a heel turn from Cody on his dad?


ECW World title - I predict Nitro will retain it here hes only just gained it for a start, I predict punk will get a rematch at summerslam and win it there.


Womens title - Candice will retain im sure.

IC Title - Umaga wins nuff said Jeff wil just get beat down.


US Championship- This should be quite good Chavo has held the title a long while now so that alone could dictate its time for a switch here.


World Heavyweight Title - Poor Kane he has never been rewarded the world title for a decent run and sadly thats not gonna change here, Edge will retain via cheating roll up holding tights or ropes no doubt.


Batista vs Khali - Oh Man this will be bad SERIOUSLY bad I suspect Big Dave will win here though. Hopefully it will be Kept short.

 

[A.J.]

The World Heavyweight Championship Match at the GAB will be Khali defending against Kane and Batista in a Triple Threat Match

Now if you feel like discussing this here please do so. Once Smackdwn is over this will be in the Offical GAB Thread...

 

[Cracker5000]

This will be a crapfest unless they decide to utilise the no DQ rule which might make it remotely interesting to see some guys beat the crap out of each other with tables, chairs etc.

 

[Bap]

Yeah No DQ might just make this thing step up a level. Hopefully Kane will up his game and they'll have him becmoe the victor maybe through Batista rather than Khali then maybe continue the Khali and Batista feud with Rey stepping in against Kane. Could be intresting cause then Kane would have had previous feuds with MVP and Matt Hardy which would elivate any matches that may come with them for future fueds and also make it intresting when Undertaker comes back for a Kane Vs. Undertaker angle.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I was looking forward to just Khali vs. 'Tista. But this triple threat has added another dimension of shit. It'll be freakin' awesome. Clumsy Kane, Crap Khali & Blown Spot Batista. IN ONE MATCH. Bring it on. I cant wait. Hey add Mark Henry make it better.

Forget Hogan/Warrior at Halloween Havoc. There is a new most entertaining shit match coming along.

 

[Lil Wes]

Damn i was really wanting to see how bad just Khali vs Boretista would be but o well it will be just as bad even if you throw Kane in there,I agree on whoever said this should be No DQ then it might be a little more watchable...but im guessing Batista wins this was just a way for him to get the belt back off a giant like Khali in an overcoming odds type way but If that happens where would they go with Rey they might pull another face vs face match down the road with them..It'l be interesting to watch just to see how bad it is...I actually cant wait to see this

 

[BrooklynBuc]

I don't see Batista winning. I'll bet that Khali gets the win by pinning Kane and then it will be Batista vs. The Great Khali at SummerSlam. Batista has had multiple chances at winning the belt, and if they havent given it to him yet, why do it now?

The only other far-fetched possibility to me is if Kane gets the win by Batista taking out Khali then Kane chokeslamming Batista and pinning him. This could set up Kane to defend the belt against whomever, and leave Batista and Khali to continue their feud. Either way, I see the Batista/Khali continue past the match, whether it be for the title or not.

 

[Chaze2k1]

My Predictions for GAB

WWE- I really dont see a clean victory for either guy in this one, Lashley wins by DQ but Cena is still the champ for one more month.

World- Now that Edge is not the champ (Spoiler), This match will be a Triple Threat with the current champ losing to a former champ

IC- Jeff Hardy will become the new IC champion, which will open a lot more of a variety of contenders for it.

US- MVP will win but to only setup a gimmick match between these two at SS (Ladder)

Bullrope- Another Legend Killed by RKO, I think the Cody Heel turn as very good possibility to get him over as wrestler.

ECW- Jon Morrison retains his title somehow, most likely to cheating this feud will continue through summerslam

Women's- WHO CARES

 

[RatedR_HBK11]

My Predictions:

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley
This is just a set up match for HHH's return. Lashley won't win because of the possible politics involved that HHH wants to be the one to take the belt off Cena, the guy he "made." Cena by way of a "powerful" F-U

ECW World Champion John Morrison vs. CM Punk
Don't see Morrison losing to Punk after just establishing a new gimmick. Corkscrew neckbreaker and then 1-2-3. SummerSlam should set these two up in a Hardcore Rules match for the title.

Women's Champion Candice Michelle vs. Melina
Another match I won't be watching. Make it a 4-way Bra and Panties match for the belt and I'll buy the PPV.

Dusty Rhodes vs. Randy Orton (Texas Bull Rope Match)
Duh, we know what happens here. Cody turns heel, RKO, touch 4 turnbuckles...match over.

United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy
I hope and pray that Matt Hardy doesn't win because SD! really has something special with MVP. His matches with Benoit show that he can get serious, and isn't to be taken lightly. I understand MVP losing to Kane...but losing to Hardy kinda insults Benoit as well as Porter...MVP can pin Benoit twice successively to take the US Title, but he gets hit by a ToF "out of nowhere" and that's pretty much it? MVP better win.

Intercontinental Champion Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy
Well supposedly Jeff has some strategy to beat the man who chews his title after winning a match. Something tells me that strangely enough, it won't work. Umaga squashes Jeff and retains.

 

[A.J.]

Um just letting everyone know that do not post spoilers about who is involved in the WHC match at the GAB until Smackdown airs and announces it. If you want to talk about it check out WWE Spoilers in the WWE Forum here at WZ

 

[A.J.]

You know this match will be horriable as but at the same time great due to the horriableness. I really can see Khali walking out as champion still. I can see it now he gets taken out by Kane and Bug Dave like a double slam through the SD announce table. Kane and Big Dave battle around and Dave hits the Batista bomb on Kane. Khali re enters the ring and tosses out Dave and then double handed chokeslams a getting up kane for the win.

Then at Summerslam we have Batista vs Khali. Really i think khali will be champion longer then we think.

 

[Mexican Geek]

With Rey returning sooner than later with a sense of URGENCY!!, I see Khali winning this one, and then, they could make a David vs Goliath angle with Khali and Mysterio, they did it once, they can do it again.
here's a sample... I didnt remember it, Rey is actually shorter than me (and maybe than anyone here at the forums LOL!)
Here it is:

...........DAMN!!!!!

EDIT***
The image has a webpage printed at the bottom, of course, i'm not intending to make any kind of advertising or whatsoever, i just google Khali vs Mysterio on googleeeee images
Thanks.

 

[RatedR_HBK11]

I actually think Kane will make the match a little less rough to see...but should Boreista win, I'll quit watching SD!...I seriously will, lol.

 

[Ticked Off Texan]

To put it into words I'll use a quote from comic book guy ..

"WORST MATCH EVER"

And I thought Cena vs. Lashley was gonna be crap, but this adds a whole new level of crapness.
And I agree with whoever said no DQ, it would be entertaining to see these three beat the shit outa each other with so weapons.

But to keep with the spirt of the week. KHALI OWNS!! Khali will definatly win and stay champ until the end of time!

 

[A.J.]

No DQ would be great for this match but I dunno if we could ever have to worst main events then we do have here. I still believe that Kane will be pinned after Batista does the work thus creating a Batista vs Khali match at Summerslam. There is no way the great khali will be a two day champ. So all hail Khali

 

[Bernkastel]

I'm somewhat looking forward to this match, I was all fired up about the Kane vs Edge match, but now we get Kane vs Khali vs Batista. Khali I don't mind all that much, I can even get why WWE would put the title on him. Khali sucks, people hate him, he gets great heat. WWE is merely capitalizing on the potential attention and heat Khali would get if they made him champion. Batista on the other hand sucks balls. I fucking hate this man, seriously the only time I'll bring myself to watch a Batista match is when he's facing a wresltler I care about, and there aren't many of those left in WWE. Kane is my favorite wrestler and I have been supporting him through everything since I started watching WWE back in 2000. I will only watch this match for Kane's sake. Hell if WWE desides to make Kane the weakest link and take him out of the match and have Batista win the damn thing, then I'm won't watch it at all.

 

[Ticked Off Texan]

My predictions

WWE Title: Cena vs. Lashley
Will be a good 30-40 minutes of complete shit. I see either a DQ or a count-out with Cena being the victor and giving a huge heel push for Lashley. But if not Cena wins HHH comes back and beats Cena at SummerSlam

ECW Title - John Morrison vs. CM Punk
If put on the right way this could be the saving grace of the GAB, both of them have more talent then Cena and Lashley combined. I see Morrison retaining the title here.

Women's Champion Candice Michelle vs. Melina
ummm ...don't know ... don't care .. 'nough said

Dusty Rhodes vs. Randy Orton - Texas Bull Rope Match
Pretty obvious here, Cody interferes RKO, sets up a fued Orton touches the corners and hits an RKO on Dusty for good measure.

US Title: MVP vs. Matt Hardy
This is, I belive, the first time I'm looking more forward to a US Title match then a WWE title match. This will be a great match see as how both have been improving a lot over the last few weeks. I see Hardy winning and MVP being pushed for the WHC.

Intercontinental Title: Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy
Don't really know about this one ... I'd like to see Hardy win after a swanton.

Carlito vs Sandman - Singapore Cane Match
Of course Sandman will come down, drink a few beers, smash Carlito around and win.

 

[Derf]

Ok, I'm not going to post my predictions, but I would like to point somthing out. Almost everyone here thinks that ECW is the C show, right? Has anyone else noticed that in three of the PPVs since WM23, we all saw the match of the night to be an ECW match. Judgement Day Burke vs Punk, Vengence Punk vs Benoit, and now GAB Punk vs Nitro or whatever his name is. Now either we all think Punk is the best guy in the WWE right now, or we should all cut ECW a bit of slack, they've been putting on great matches lately. (or trying to, Vengence is my point) For those of you that claim WWE sucks cause you don't see wrestling on it anymore, just watch a few recent ECW matches with the up and comers, and then shut up.

 

[THe WHoLe FuCKiN SHoW]

this ppv is gunna suck mostly cuz the best wrestler they have in the company right now, mr kennedy, doesnt have a match for some reason. hopefully kennedy will interfere in this match, thus creating a rivalry with whoever wins and getting a title shot at summerslam where he could win and save us from lashley and cena. then we could have a good fued for the title for the first time in a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time between kennedy and HHH.

 

[Shocky]

Carlito vs. Sandman
Well with the stipulation being a Singapore Cane Match, I could see the Sandman actually winning this one. Sandman is in Vince's good graces right now, and Carlito has been in the doghouse since Wrestlemania.

IC Title Match:
Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy.
Summerslam is around the corner, and in this instance, I agree completely with Triple H. Keep the IC Title as far away from the Jackass disaster as possible. Umaga is in that match, so Jeff Hardy is getting the IC Title back, yippie.

US Title Match.
MVP vs. Matt Hardy
Damn it, they take the tag belts off of the Hardy's a month ago only too...strap them both with individual titles. Hardy has been on a tear lately, and I don't see him losing this match. I think this opens the door for MVP to move up the Smackdown Ladder.

Bull Rope Match:
Dusty Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
What the Hell? Is there really any point to having this match. Randy Orton has established himself three years ago as a Legend Killer. I know it's to get Cody Exposure, but honestly, too much. Orton in a squash. Dusty might make him bleed but nothing more.

Womens Championship:
Candice vs. Michelle:
Could give two shits, Candice, I guess.

ECW Championship:
John Morrison vs. CM Punk:
Ask me this question a week ago, Punk gets the nod, now, I'm not sure. There is no point in giving Morrison a much needed gimmick change, only to have him drop the title right away. There are three guys in the WWE right now, Kennedy, MVP, and Punk that are going to be the future of the company, but giving any of them World titles within the next 6 months is too damn early.

WHC Triple Threat:
The Great Khali vs. Batista vs. Kane
Holy Crappola. I'm not sure how many times I have started in a pay per view thread with, "This could be the Worst Match Ever", but this one is added onto it. Both of the Cena/Khali matches lived down to their hype as worst matches of the night, I can't see how this one will be any different. I would love for Khali to retain, but I think Big Dave Dudd wins, setting up Dudd vs. MVP at summerslam, even though it should be Khali vs. Mysterio.

WWE Championship:
Lashley vs. Cena:
Well, it would have been the worst match of the night, but see above for that distinction. Lashley said that Cena was pretty much good at one thing, and that's hyping a match, now that's not fair, Cena is also horrible at promos. That promo that has gotten so much love from Monday, was shit. It was boring, stale, and uninspiring. I could give a crap about this match before, I care even less now. I can't see Lashley tapping out, because that would effectively kill his push. I could see Lashley winning, but I've fallen for this trap before, and I won't bite on it. The Great White Hype with the win.

Looks to be another WWE Lackluster, with the ECW Match looking to be the MOTN (again) on paper. Lets hope neither Morrison or Punk are called home for "family emergencies."

 

[A.J.]

I 'm going to do my predictions again now as it looks done

My Predictions:

WWE Champion John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley
Another match that Cena will win but prolly in a DQ. As if Lashly loses there what they do with him? I think a DQ or a double count with happen so they can have a rematch at Summerslam in a gimmick match. So Cena should walk out as champion.

Intercontinental Champion Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy
Hardy only wins as there no need for Umaga to be a champion come summerslam to mess with those Jackass guys. So Hardy wins

ECW World Champion John Morrison vs. CM Punk
I really think John will win then they set up the match at Summerslam where Punk finally wins it. Should a good match and could be the MOTN. But i just see John retaining for this time. no way they do a make over and he just drops it like that.

Women's Champion Candice Michelle vs. Melina
Its been done to death and well Jillian and Phoenix are heels so of course Candice will win.

Dusty Rhodes vs. Randy Orton (Texas Bull Rope Match)
This match is nothing but a match to get Randy over and he can have a title shot at Summerslam hopefully. Both will bleed and boring.

United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy
MVP is really becoming something special in the ring. Hardy has been good but its MVP time and he should win hopefully clean be nice ot see that once in a while. This could another MOTN. But i do see this as a long on going feud.

World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali vs. Batista vs. Kane
Horriable match that will look great do to the horriableness. Khali gets taken out by kane and tista. Then Tista hits the batista bomb on kane and Khlai re-enter the ring and takes out Batista to pin Kane. thus at Summerslam we have Khlai vs Batista.

Singapore Cane Match: Sandman vs Carlito
Humm McMahon likes Sandman for some reason so Sandman wins.

Another WWE PPV that i will not order

 

[justinsayne]

My Predictions:

Lashley vs. Cena- WWE Title
I think this one is going to Lashley because they seem to be puttin Cena way over and makeing it sound like Lashley doesn't even stand a chance, I see Lashley pulling out the big win and being the guy that finally takes the belt from Cena

Khali vs. Batista vs. Kane- WHC
I don't see them takeing the title off Khali this fast, he just won it less than a week ago, I think they're going top keep the belt on Khali until SummerSlam, where he he drop it to either Kane or Batista, which ever one doesn't get pinned in this match

John Morrison vs. CM Punk- ECW Title
John Morrison is going to win, it just doesn't make sense for them to give him a whole new gimmick and then have he drop the belt so quickly afterwards, Morrison will retain either by DQ, Count out, or he screw Punk out of the title, with either feet on the ropes or holding the tights, a typical WWE heel finisher

Umaga vs. Jeff Hardy- IC Title
I think Jeff is going to win the match but Umaga is going to keep the title, Umaga will snap and and get DQed, I do see Jeff winning the belt before SummerSlam but just not at the Bash, most likely on Raw in a couple of weeks

Candice vs. Melina- Women's Title
I don't give a shit, but for the sake of makeing predictions I'm going to say Candice, Melina is in the doghouse and Candice has been dominateing for awhile, so I say Candice wins this one, keeps the title, and then moves onto a new feud with either Jillian or Beth Phoenix

Orton vs. Dusty Rhodes- Texas Bull Rope Match
Looks like we are in store for another Orton legend killer special, I see Orton delivering another concusion in this one, with Cody running in to make the save only to get hit with an RKO of his own, Orton wins, and I think this one is going to be better than what people think, I have a feeling this may be the bloodiest match on the card

MVP vs. Matt Hardy- U.S. Title
MVP to win, Matt Hardy just doesn't have the drawing ability to worthy of a US title run yet, just my opinion, I think MVP has alot more to offer in his current reign and giving the belt to Matt would just not be the right move for now

Sandman vs. Carlito- Singapore Cane Match
I'll be surprised if this goes more than seven minutes, sandamn is going to win, and Carlito is going to get the shit caned out of him, I see Regal trying to get involved only to take a cane to the face, and I would be surprised if Hacksaw comes running down to off-set Regals interference, but Sandman with the win in a short match

Chavo vs. JYW vs. Funaki vs. Moore vs. Noble- CW title-CW Open
I'm not going to waste a lot of time on this match, I see Chavo winning, though I'd rather they put the title on Noble, it will probably end with JYW being the last man eliminated, with a screwy Chavo finish, this match will be forgotten about before the next one starts

I think this ppv is going to follow in the footsteps of the ones before it, in other words it is going to suck, their really isn't any matches that standout to me, and I could care less about who really wins
