WWE Bragging Rights Championship Matches Preview
Predictions and Live Results for title matches on Oct 25th 2009
Oct 22, 2009
While other Superstars and Divas will be fighting for the pride of their respective brands, 3 Champions and 5 challengers will be battling it out for gold at the first annual Bragging Rights Pay Per View.
Christian (c) Vs. Yoshi Tatsu for the ECW Championship
The choice of challenger in this match is rather perplexing.
While Yoshi Tatsu is undoubtedly a talented athlete and more than likely a future champion, a match pitting him against Christian has no substance at all.
The pair have been friends for a few weeks, but ECW did the 'friends competing for the title' storyline to death with Christian and Dreamer.
Aside from that, the chances of Tatsu taking the title at this early stage in his career seem incredibly slim, so unless there is a huge shock in store this bout will have to rely purely on a fantastic wrestling display.
Prediction: Christian to retain the title. The big question will be how. Perhaps some outside interference from The Ruthless Round-table or Zack Ryder.
Fatal 4 Way for The Undertaker's World Heavyweight Championship
Former champion C.M Punk and best friends Rey Mysterio and Batista will all be trying their hardest to take the gold from The Deadman come Bragging Rights, that is if he still has the strap come Sunday.
Since his return to Smackdown The Undertaker has had a rough time of it, with 'the powers that be' seemingly conspiring against him to keep the gold from around his waist.
However, there was nothing they could do as he took the title inside Hell in a Cell (allegedly helped to the gold by Punk's mis-demeanor behind the scenes) but now Punk has the chance to regain the belt in exactly the same circumstances as he first defended it, just two days before the Fatal 4 Way.
Rey and Batista seem to be involved in the match purely because there's nothing else to keep them occupied at the minute, but it'll be interesting to see if they work together or rip each other to pieces.
Prediction: The Undertaker to leave with the gold by hook or by crook.
John Cena Vs. Randy Orton (c) 60 Minute Iron Man Match for the WWE Championship
While the WWE Championship may be the main prize for victory in this match there is actually much more on the line.
For Randy Orton, the chance to rid himself once and for all of arguably his biggest rival (that is until the next Roster Draft at least.)
For John Cena, his very future on the Raw Brand, as if he loses he will be forced to join either ECW or more likely Smackdown.
Cena and Orton have met a staggering ELEVEN times in Pay Per View matches since first battling at Backlash 07, so splitting them up and moving Cena over to Smackdown where the main event is a little weak would be a good move.
However, what Smackdown's main event really needs is a solid heel, and with Cena getting mixed receptions at best a heel turn wouldn't be that hard to sell to the fans.
Prediction: Orton to win underhandedly, Cena to show up in the 7 on 7 Main event and turn heel.
