WWE Cyber Sunday preview and predictions: Will Triple H and Matt Hardy retain their titles? Will Steve Austin cost Chris Jericho the World Heavyweight Championship? Will Santino Marella lose the Intercontinental Championship to a legend?
By Rich Twilling Oct 26, 2008 - 10:30 AM |

The following predictions are made without any inside knowledge of the planned match finishes. Better stated, I am guessing like you are. On top of that, I am guessing not only the match outcomes, but the actual matches themselves. Feel free to watch along with Jason tonight as he provides Live Coverage of the Cyber Sunday pay-per-view.
Triple H vs. a) Jeff Hardy, b) Vladimir Kozlov, or c) both of them in a triple threat match for the WWE Championship: This one seems like a slam dunk to me. Hardy will overwhelmingly win the vote and have a solid match with Triple H. Kozlov, like we thought he was going to do at No Mercy, will cost Hardy the match. Triple H retains; Kozlov moves into a feud with Hardy or Triple H.
Chris Jericho vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship with a) Randy Orton, b) Shawn Michaels, or c) Steve Austin as the special guest referee: This is a tricky one. I do not see them taking the title off of Jericho but booking the match may be difficult if they do not. Austin will win the vote going away. It will not be close. I could be bold and predict a Stunner and title change, but I say Austin stays out of the way and Jericho retains. Austin may surprise us and disqualify Batista. Austin stuns Jericho after the match and does his usual shtick.
Undertaker vs. Big Show in a) a knockout match, b) an I Quit match, or c) a last man standing match. I am guessing the last man standing match will win the vote. If an I Quit match wins the vote, Taker wins the match. If a last man standing match takes place, I say Show wins and the feud culminates with a gimmick match at the Survivor Series.
Matt Hardy vs. a) Evan Bourne, b) Finlay, or c) Mark Henry for the ECW Championship: I picked Bourne to win the vote as soon as he qualified, so I am going to stick with that pick. I say this is the best match of the night and Hardy will retain after both men work their asses off to impress the crowd.
Rey Mysterio vs. Kane in a) a falls count anywhere match, b) a no holds barred match, or c) a two out of three falls match. Well, I am hoping they do not do two out of three falls. If they do, Kane wins because Mysterio cannot "surprise" him twice. I predict a falls count anywhere match with Rey winning after a semi-crazy bump off of a production truck or something.
Santino Marella vs. a) The Honky Tonk Man, b) Rowdy Roddy Piper, or c) Goldust for the Intercontinental Championship. I am sure Vince McMahon will be tempted to put the title on the winner of the voting. My gut tells me The Honky Tonk Man will win the vote but I will predict the upset and say Piper wins. Santino will retain and Charlie Haas will involve himself somehow.
Fans choose the tag team match with the following options: a) Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase vs. Kofi Kingston and C.M. Punk for the World Tag Team Championships, b) Jamie Noble and Mickie James vs. William Regal and Layla, or c) The Miz and John Morrison vs. Cryme Tyme: I will predict the tag team championship match and a title change; Punk and Kofi will leave Cyber Sunday with the belts.
Diva's Halloween Costume Contest: I predict Jerry Lawler will nearly have a heart attack. Kelly Kelly, or maybe Tiffany will win the contest.
Shelton Benjamin vs. a) R-Truth, b) Festus, or c) MVP for the United States Championship on WWE.com. I am hoping Festus wins the vote and Benjamin retains. However, I am going out on a limb and predicting R-Truth to win the vote and the U.S. Championship. WWE has been building the Benjamin vs. Truth feud nicely and to throw this out there in this fashion is weak. To keep Truth looking strong, I say he wins the title.
Final Thoughts: I predicted two undercard title changes because I do not see much happening in the major title matches. This show is about Steve Austin making an appearance. The in-ring action could be very good but a noteworthy title change is not likely to happen, in my opinion. Make sure to check back tonight and follow along as Jason provides "Live Coverage" of the show.
