I will be attending the 2008 Great American Bash tomorrow at the Nassau Coliseum. I am truly looking forward to this event. The card will have some great matches and perhaps some history will be made as well. To that, here is my predictions for the Pay-Per-View.
Matt Hardy (c) vs. Shelton Benjamin for the WWE United States Championship:
I think they will keep the belt on Hardy. Regardless I think this could be a great match. Shelton can show off some good moves of his. He's improved a lot in the ring since his stint on Raw where he did absolutely nothing. I think they'll keep the belt on Hardy for a few months before it's decided to drop it to Shelton.
John Morrison and The Miz (c) vs. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder vs. Jesse and Festus vs. Finlay and Hornswoggle in a Fatal Four-Way match for the WWE Tag Team Championship:
Finlay and Hornswoggle. Morrison and Miz have surprisingly made a competent tag team. It's interesting to note that their characters don't seem to care about each other, but only in keeping the belts. I like that new twist on a tag team. The Edgeheads and the team of Jess and Fest I don't think have shown enough to warrant a win for tag team gold. I think we will see the disintegration of the Morrison and Miz to a loss to Finlay and Hornswoggle. It's Team Ireland's time.
Mark Henry vs. Tommy Dreamer in a singles match for the ECW Championship:
Mark Henry. Tommy Dreamer unfortunately has been held back. I don't think it will be a squash match (I hope it isn't), but if anyone will be beat Henry, it certainly won't be Dreamer.
Natalya vs. Michelle McCool in a singles match for the WWE Divas Championship:
Natalya. Honestly, I haven't paid much attention to the Smackdown! women's division. However, I will say both are capable talents. I think this one will go to Natalya based on that she'd be a better champion but also is a member of the Hart family.
John Cena vs. John "Bradshaw" Layfield in a New York City Parking Lot Brawl:
Though I don't want it to, John Cena. It's simple. The WWE is marketing John Cena as Superman. No one can beat the man the kids love and the grownups love to hate.
Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho in a Singles match:
Chris Jericho. I think this will be a great match and may possibly the best on the card. We got two great technical wrestlers who have a limited high-flying repertoire. They both have past wins and loses to each other. Both of them have their respective fans who cheer and boo them. While the two have fought before, I think they will both put on a good show.
CM Punk (c) vs. Batista in a Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship:
CM Punk. I don't think that Batista is going to win back the belt just yet. I give CM Punk perhaps until the end of the year before he drops it to Batista or someone else. This should be an interesting match considering the two different styles with Punk's martial arts expertise and Batista's power moves. Perhaps some interference with Kane I predict.
Triple H (c) vs. Edge in a Singles match for the WWE Championship:
Triple H. Triple H rarely ever jobs. I think this will be no exception. While I hope Edge wins, I don't think he will. I get the feeling that there will be some sort of interference. Perhaps Undertaker or Vickie Guerrero?
