This is really just for my own record.
Here's what I think might happen at No Mercy
Santino will interfere (cause a distraction) Candice wins and the problems increase between Santino and Beth leading to a split sometime before next PPV which will also result in Santino losing the IC title, either before or at the next PPV. I see a feud/storyline evolving with Beth and Batista over the coming weeks.
Koslov will interfere in the Jeff vs Triple H match so that the result will be a double DQ or Triple H will retain without either he or Jeff actually officially losing the match saving face for both.
Undertaker vs Big Show if shown before Triple H match will actually be the pointer to who "Wins" that match. If Big Show pulls off a win by Vickie making her appearance and distracting Undertaker allowing Big to get a sneak win, then Triple H will keep the belt, If Undertaker wins then in all likelihood Jeff will actually be given the win and the belt. Here's hoping for both scenarios.
Matt will retain the belt in a pretty clean match. As it should be.
If Matts match is first, then Takers after that before Trips we might get a good indication of how Jeff will fair. It would be really nice to have them both hold a title, they just might go with that, here's hoping.
Batista vs JBL is really only a formality, they can't exactly just hand Batista the opportunity without making it look like he has worked for it so of course Batista wins this and goes on to challenge the winner of the HBK/Chris Jericho match............coming to that in a moment.
Kane vs Rey Rey is most likely, well 99% guaranteed also, Rey to win causing Kane to be even further pissed off and go completely mental because of it resulting in a continuing feud because lets face it, what else is there for Kane to be doing, better this than jobbing. They have quite a few potential scenarios for this feud to be kept interesting enough and take it to another PPV without becoming boring because one might be that a stipulation for the next is that if Kane loses he has to put his mask back on........
Now with Batista having won his match, HBK vs Chris can have two outcomes, one being that will Batista having obvious history with Shawn there is an already made storyline ready to be picked up on and it would make sense, sort of, to re-ignite that. So HBK would win and it becomes HBK vs Batista at Cyber Sunday. The other outcome would be for Chris to win resulting in the same scenario but with less intensity and history than a Bastista/HBK match which only works as both are faces because there is history and both can be faces but quite aggressive and nasty at the same time. If it turns out that Chris wins and becomes a Chris vs Batista feud (Heel vs Face) then I fully believe Batista will get the belt at Cyber Sunday. I have always believed Chris is only a sort of caretaker for the time being until they could work it into Batista getting his title shot. I think if this happens they will eventually give Shawn the belt closer to WM 25 to allow him time to be sufficiently fit to have his Final match at WM 25 which I believe will be the case. (Undertaker's not going anywhere folks, well not permanently, maybe another hiatus to re-invent)
I really can't tell for sure about HBK and Chris' match, the end result achieves the same effect which is that Batista gets his hands on the belt either way at Cyber Sunday. Randy won't get a title shot for at least a couple to three months after he actually returns to the ring so there is no need at the moment to put him into this equation.
That's all I think. I'll see how I've done after sunday night. Most likely totally wrong on all fronts, or at least if not totally wrong then the majority will be and probably for the wrong reasons, I'm that good at picking the real reasons, mostly because I over-think, I think.


What we can really hope for right now is that Shawn wins his match, and that Jeff wins his match. It would be really nice to have a new womens champ but I'm not getting my hopes up. I guess we won't find out till sunday if you're right or not.
