It's time again for another post of PPV predicitions, this time is for the WWE's Night of Champions live from Dallas, TX. And before the 2008 Draft this last week it looked like it was going to be easy to predict...however the WWE really decided to change things up and thus the card tomorrow has all sorts of side storylines dealing with the brands.

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Triple H (c-SD) vs. John Cena (RAW)

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Edge (c-SD) vs. Batista (RAW)

I'm putting these together because RAW and SD! will each need a top title, thus it is assumed that whomever wins one will dictate the result of the other. Of course that's if CM Punk doesn't cash in his "Money in the Bank" title match, however that seems unlikely. So who will win and where? Well to be perfectly honest I've heard opinions going either way in these matches, however I think it'll be fairly simple for one reason, that god awful Spinner WWE Championship belt. That will be the belt Cena will always hold until his card is done since it was especially made then later redesigned for him. So Cena wins the WWE Championship while Edge retains the World Heavyweight Championship.

ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Kane (c-RAW) vs. Big Show (SD) vs. Mark Henry (ECW)
This is the match that's outcome has changed throughout the week because the match changed over the week. Kane went from SD to RAW bring the title with him meaning RAW vs. SD for ECW Title then on Tuesday Henry gets into the match only to be drafted by ECW the next day. So members of three brands are battling for the strap of one. Well to be honest, it has to be the ECW wrestler so Mark Henry becomes the ECW champion.

WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes (RAW) vs. Ted DiBiase & ??? (RAW)
Well it's going to be new champs, but who will young DiBiase's partner be? I say Cody Rhodes.

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
John Morrison & The Miz (ECW) vs. Finlay & Hornswoggle (ECW)
I see new champions since all four men are from ECW, though it might be a short reign unless they're going to build a tag division on ECW. Finlay & Hornswoggle get the duke.

WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Matt Hardy (c-ECW) vs. Chavo Guerrero (SD or ECW?)
With the ECW-SD talent exchange this one is a little hard to predict since I don't know officially where Chavo belongs. But ECW & SD will be taped on the same night until August 4th when it'll be RAW & ECW, but with Triple H now on SD they need a strong "La Familia" faction to counter him thus I see Chavo returning to SD with the US Title.

WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Mickie James (c) vs. Katie Lea Burchill
Both are RAW competitors so no other outside factors. With the injury to Melina, the Mickie seems to be the only one for established faces to take on Champion Katie Lea. Thus I have to go with Mickie to retain.

Rumored

WWE INTERCONTINENTIAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Chris Jericho (c-RAW) vs. ???
It is rumored that this match will take place. Though WWE hasn't officially announced it. So if it does take place, I'll say Paul London takes the spot and wins the belt to further the Michaels-Jericho feud. This allows the title off of Jericho who doesn't need it and puts in play between London and a new Lance Cade or leads to a London turn on his mentor Michaels like Cade did via surrogate Triple H.

WWE DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Natalya (SD) vs. ???
I've heard that a new title will be introduced soon, however I don't know if a match will take place on the card. I doubt it, however if it does I see Michelle McCool getting the shot with Natalya winning.

However I see only one of the above matches taking place with the rest of the announced card and that's the IC Title match.

So there are my predictions, I guess we'll find out how good I am.

Hello everyone, it's time again for Pay-Per-View predictions this time for TNA's annual Slammiversary event this time coming from the Memphis, TN area.

2008 King of the Mountain Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Title
Samoa Joe (c) vs. Robert Roode vs. Booker T vs. Rhino vs. Christian Cage
Well, every King of the Mountain Match has seen a new champion crowned however there is no way Joe is losing the gold two months after losing it. So Joe breaks the trend and his title reign gains momentum leading to a date with Booker T at Victory Road in Houston next month.

A.J. Styles vs. Kurt Angle
Wisely TNA has been building to this match ever since Karen Angle helped A.J. then Tomko join Team Angle so when Kurt was shifted out of the Main Event/TNA Title picture he'd have something big. They've also rehabilitated A.J. in this angle and over the past month as he has turned face. Since this feud will probably end at Bound for Glory, I see Angle winning via nefarious means.

TNA X Division Title Match
Petey Williams (c) vs. Kaz
An injury has kept Williams out of the action but his interviews have kept him relavent. Kaz is on a roll over the past few months after getting loose from the Super Eric-Black Reign-Rellik mess. Like the Styles-Angle feud, I think this is meant to be a while so Steiner or Khan help Williams retain but Kaz looks strong.

TNA World Tag Team Title Match
LAX (c) vs. Team 3D
I would be hesitant to say that LAX lose the belts a month after winning them, however the Tag Title plan for the summer was thrown out when Tomko decided to go to Japan in April. I see either team winning, but I think LAX retains to keep the value of the titles up but I see this match leading to rematch at Victory Road where Team 3D could have a better odds of winning.

The Beautiful People & Mickie Knuckles vs. Gail Kim, ODB, & Roxxi
Well with Mickie Knuckles just newly introduced, she's not getting pinned. But I think that the Beautiful People aren't getting the win either. The faces winning probably by DQ of some kind.

TNA Women's Title Match & $25,000 Fan Challenge
Awesome Kong (c) vs. ???
I think whomever is Kong faces she'll beat, however I think that unlike the other challengers her opponent will have a lot of fight in her surprising everyone.

Well those are my picks and we'll see what happens.
