-In what seemed inevitable to most observers, Triple H regained the WWE title last night at Backlash. Triple H defeated Randy Orton, John Cena, and JBL in an elimination match which came down to Triple H and Orton. Triple H pinned with Randy Orton after a Pedigree to win the match and regain the title. Triple H regains the WWE title at WWE 2008 Backlash
Where can one start. This feud has been going on since the dawn of time, yeah really long. Hopefully this pay per view, The Undertaker will take Edge out for good and help put another contender up for the title. Edge will lose and become a ‘good guy’ again. My predict is that The Undertaker will retian his title.
Big Show vs. The Great Khali
This one should eb a no brainer. rumor has it The Great Khali knees are not doing him any justice. The Punjab’n Giant might in need of surgery and with the news going aroung that Khali is returning to his homeland and yet another time he is returning to grace his country. Even when the Great Khali stomped the hell out of the Big Show awhile back..So maybe, expect The Big Show maybe injuring Khali and Khali getting the DQ for the win. Just a thought.. United States Champion MVP vs. Matt Hardy
This match has yet too come, Finally this is going to happen. With Matt getting injured by MVP. Hardy is way over due for the title. I thinbk Vince is going to play with this a little bit to stretch Matt Wins a little bit. This might turn out to be a draw. WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Elimination Match
John Cena, JBL, Randy Orton and Triple H
Holy crap..can this get any more complicated that it already is. When the hell did JBL get into the mix here. Why is JBL here. Could he get the upset and win over HHH, Orton and Cena just to prove apoint.. ECW Champion Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero
Even though Chavo is an awesome wrestler and I respect him very much so, I think he does not have what it takes to be a champion for the people. This man can wrestler but his character is not right for champ. I think Kane will retain his title for a long time.. Batista vs. Shawn Michaels with guest referee Chris Jericho
Here is a train wreck waiting to happen. This story will be going on for at least 2 or even maybe 3 months to come. HBK retired Batista’s mentor, Ric Flair. Great storyline to get the crowd into it at least. But Y2J is the special Ref here. What would he have in store, as he truns heel. Maybe Ric Flair will interject here and take out Jericho and hopefully these two men would recover, but still fight this storyline out for awhile.
12-Diva Tag Team Match
Witht he team of Mickie, Maria, Ashley, Michelle, Cherry & Kelly Kelly to face against The Glamazon, Melina, Jillian, Layla, Victoria & Natalya be one to reckon with. Expect an all out Babe Brawl…This is goingto have lots of T & A Action. Just for fun who care who wins, but if I had to pick one I will say, The Glamazons team…
