Welcome to another edition of Shawn's thoughts, in this edition, I'll be continuing predictions for possible matches for this March's Wrestlemania 25. With this year's Wrestlemania being WWE's 25th Anniversary for airing Wrestlemania, it should be an absolute block buster.
Shawn Michaels: I'll be the first person to admit that I hated the JBL/HBK storyline at first, but both men are truly trying to make this believable and wow can Shawn play the "conflicted" individual. We seen the start of a possible backstab by HBK on Raw last week. I even found it interesting when Cena asked him if he was fighting two men or three, HBK had said that look at history and you would have his answer. That seems to tell me that the HBK/JBL storyline will be starting to climax soon possibly with a match between the two at Wrestlemania 25. Another possibility though, is that Shawn Michaels wins the Royal Rumble match, stays with JBL and goes on to face John Cena (if he is still champ). It won't stop there, since HBK is JBL's "Employee", we could see a triple threat match between all three individuals.
Beth Phoenix: Every year we have to have a divas match for the eye candy effect, Beth Phoenix has shown a great improvement over the last year, especially now that she is with Santino. The two make a great team. Now add in Milina Rouka (aka Rosa Mendez) to the mix, it should be very interesting. I could see a possible match between Melina & Rosa Mendez at No Way Out next month, in which Melina will get screwed out of the match which will lead to Beth Phoenix vs. Melina at Wrestlemania 25 with Rosa Mendez in her corner.
Vladamir Kozlov- Well...honestly I am not sure where I'd put this guy. He is definitely a power house, but he hasn't truly impressed me as of yet. With time, I'm sure something will happen. Look for a possible match between he and Triple H at Wrestlemania 25. My gut is telling me that Jeff Hardy will lose his title to Triple H at some point which then the match between Kozlov & Triple H would be for the title.
John Morrison & The Miz: I love this duo, no doubt with the exception of their entrance, it was cool the first few times you seen it. Even Jerry Lawler asking how they can do their entrance is slow motion is getting old. Last month after Armageddon we seen Cryme Tyme taking "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan out of the building saying "Its time". Now WWE mobile is showing Duggan with Cryme Tyme trying to hustle money. A match between Cryme Tyme & John Morison/The Miz is definitely a possibility. Now that leads to Jim Duggan.
Jim Duggan: Jim Duggan is an absolute legend in this business, he has wrestled for as long as I have been watching wrestling. I don't think we'll see Jim Duggan on television yet, but after the Royal Rumble all bets are off. I think "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will get with Vinnie Mac when he returns to set up a big match for Wrestlemania 25 with Chris Jericho to get his revenge. I only see it fitting as he is so skilled in the ring, plus Jericho can still learn a thing or two in the mean time.
Matt Hardy: Honestly I don't see Matt Hardy as ECW Champion for much longer, that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to wear the belt. I think he will lose the belt at No Way Out only to get a rematch at Wrestlemania 25. Who will be his opponent? I think new up comer Jack Swagger is the man for the job. Swagger has shown some improvement over the last few weeks on television, and I definitely see him as a potential big superstar in the future.
Kane: We've been seeing as of late that Kane is "reverting back" to his old style of just beating up people. As Kane put it on Raw, "I'm going back to the days when I would eviscerate people" when he had Kelly Kelly cornered. I think they'll set up another on air boyfriend for Kelly Kelly in which will still end up being Randy Orton, coming to aid after regretting making her cry on Raw after saying it was only a one night stand.
That's it for this edition, check our my next edition on Friday night.
