This is probably another one of those PPV's where it looks highly unpredictable on paper, but when they actually compete in Sacramento this Sunday, it's a whole different...animal.
PREDICTED MATCH ORDER
Unified Tag Team Championship match
The Great Khali v. Dolph Ziggler (No-DQ)
ECW Championship Scramble
WWE Women's Championship match
Intercontinental Championship v. Rey's Mask
John Cena v. The Miz
World Heavyweight Championship
WWE Championship - 3 Stages of Hell
WWE Championship 3 Stages of Hell: This one is probably the 2nd most unpredictable match, although a good case can be made that Orton will retain. Orton probably has the narrow edge in Stage 1 - a regular singles match, while Triple H has the narrow edge in Stage 2 - a falls count anywhere match. I think that will lead to the Final Stage - the stretcher match, and I think it will go that way to allow Legacy & Mr. Sledgy to come into play. This could go either way, and I would be content with either outcome, as long as Orton & Hunter beat the **** out of each other. Narrow edge to The Champ.
World Heavyweight Championship: Looks like growing bad blood between CM Punk & Jeff Hardy, and you can't blame The Enigma for his state of mind after the final outcome at Extreme Rules. I see both Superstars going for the GTS or the Twist of Fate/Swanton Bomb combo, but I'm going to make the bold prediction and say No Contest because of possible interference from...Edge.
John Cena v. The Miz: This one will be Miz's biggest chance to shine & show why he's so...awesome. While I do think Big Show will have a say in this one, most likely to Camel Clutch John Cena into next year & maybe "Punch Out" The Miz, I think that Cena will reverse a Reality Check into a STF and make Miz tapout.
ECW Championship Scramble: Most unpredictable match on the card IMO.....obviously. I think it will really depend on the order they come out, and I think there will be plenty of pinfalls and submissions in this one, with plenty of finishers being used. The shillelaigh will definitely be in play here, even if Finaly has to use it behind the referee's back. I think Tommy Dreamer will nail Jack Swagger with the Dreamer Driver and get the final pinfall at around 19:50-19:55. This is generally a pick-em, though.
The Mask or the Intercontinental Championship: Probably one of the more anticipated match IMO. Everyone who follows Lucha Libre enough knows that alot of shame is brought upon any luchador who is forced to unmask and not cover his face. If Jericho does pull off his feat for the "sicko-fans", then kudos to him. But I don't think that'll happen for other reasons, and that's why I think Rey will finish Jericho with the 619/Springboard combo.
Unified Tag Team Championship: Legacy can really set the tone for The Bash, especially if they open the card in their match with The Colon Brothers. I see both teams beating the **** out of each other, but I think Ted Dibiase will nail Primo Colon with Dream Street and win the belts.
Khali or Ziggler: With this being no-dq, I think Dolph Ziggler can fire the chairs at Khali in this one, and he may have to do that to keep away from Khali's big reach. This could go either way, but I think Ziggler will get those needed weapon shots in and get the pinfall.
WWE Women's Championship: I think Michelle McCool is riding on too much momentum to not wrest the belt away from Melina. With a string of singles & tag team victories at SmackDown, Michelle will certainly unload on Melina, because Melina will definitely do the same. I think Melina will try to go for her L.A. Sunset finisher, only to have it broken up and McCool will unload her Faith Breaker to win the belt and be the first Diva to have held both women's belts.
