Yeah i was thinking that too. would'nt it be something if Morrison ends up winning the wwe title? he was being pushed as the top star of ecw with a good ecw title run up until he got suspended for a month. but IMO i still think either Jericho or Orton will walk away this sunday with the wwe title.
It would be a huge shock to everyone if John Morrison won the W.W.E. Championship, especially since thats the Championship that is over everything. So because of that, I highly doubt Morrison will get it, but it'd be a huge shock none the less. To note on Morrison NOT being at the tapings, I think this is just to get Big Daddy V over to Smackdown! somehow. I think Punk will win, only for Morrison to return at the end of the match.. setting up a Cyber Sunday match, where the possible "decisions" could be between Ladder match, Hardcore match, or single's match.
Now, my top thoughts on who'll gain the W.W.E. Championship come Sunday...
Triple H.: You can't even begin talking about possibly rebuilding the top spot, without mentioning this guy. Although its surprisingly (to some) unlikely he'll get the nod, I wouldn't be shocked if he did. I still say Triple H. will be the main point for contender, going into Wrestlemania.
Randy Orton: The top pick to win it all. Several rumors had him winning it to begin with, so maybe they'll stick with that idea? Then again, because he won't be able to continue his feud with Cena.. they could scrap it. I'm happy he won't be able to continue his Cena feud, as it was beyond stale to begin with.. but its unknown if they'll put the Championship on Orton, when they have the ability to go anyway they want with it.
Mr. Kennedy: Top choice to win the World Heavyweight Championship dating back to his MITB victory, but unsure if they'd be willing to let him cash in as the top guy on Raw. Not just yet, anyways. I see Kennedy becoming the Champion soon, but not right now.
Smackdown!/E.C.W. Wrestler: I say it like that, because its highly possible to host some type of Royal Rumble like, Battle Royal to determine the new Champion.. & it isn't unheard of, for an 'outsider' to jump brands & win the Championship. Undertaker, Edge, Kane, John Morrison, Elijah Burke, Mark Henry, Great Khali, Rey Mysterio, M.V.P., Big Daddy V.. they're all top names to be mentioned, but highly unlikely any (with exception of Taker) would be switched over & reign as Champion.
Returning Mystery: Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, even Sid Vicious.. are all top names to be thrown in the mix. The most likely of choices would be Chris Jericho, as his return is unavoidable now. But I wouldn't count H.B.K. out.. as he can return, he just mentioned that he didn't want to, just yet.
Final Thoughts: I ultimately think it'll go to Randy Orton, since that was the original plan & W.W.E. isn't one for changing anything like they once were. I'd like to be shocked by the return of Y2J, or H.B.K. but I doubt it'd happen. (Not to say it won't, I'll keep my fingers crossed) Finally, you could throw in random names like Jeff Hardy, or J.B.L. for pure shock.. (on wwe.com they have a poll, that lists all the Raw superstars) but that would require W.W.E. to think of different ways to go with their original storylines.. & as such, I just believe it'll be Randy Orton. If I could pick, I'd say Jericho, or H.B.K.. Edge even.. but I'm not writing W.W.E.'s storylines.
