WWE Judgment Day 2009 Preview

Judgment Day is here once again with some exciting matches but unfortunately, nothing of significance is going to happen. There are four title matches, but if all goes according to plan, all four champs should retain.

Randy Orton defends his WWE title against Batista. Batista has lot so many title matches over the years that every time he challenges for one, it's so obvious that he won't win. Orton will retain.

Over on Smackdown, Edge defends the World title against Jeff Hardy. These two have had some spectacular matches agaonst each other, but Edge should win to set up a potential feud with the Undertaker.

Christian defends the ECW title against Jack Swagger and Rey Mysterio defends the IC title against Chris Jericho. Expect both champs to retain.

Here's my picks for the rest of the card:

John Cena over Big Show
CM Punk over Umaga
John Morrison over Shelton Benjamin

2009 WWE Backlash Preview

Traditionally, Backlash has always struggled coming off the heels of Wrestlemania because the build for the PPV has always been short, usually just three weeks. This year is no different as again WWE hasn't had enough time to build for the PPV. The lack of build shows as Backlash appears to be a PPV that will struggle to attract buys.

Despite that, I still feel inclined to give my predictions for Backlash. WWE's poor ability to build for its PPVs, Wrestlemania 25 included, will have to wait for another time.

The main event is a six-man tag between Legacy and the McMahon family. If anyone from Legacy gains the fall, Randy Orton wins the WWE Championship. If anyone from Triple H's team wins, Triple H retains the title. Since Orton has been so buried in this feud and we all know how much of an egomaniac Trips is, I expect Triple H to retain.

Next up is a last man standing match between Edge and John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship. Since both heavyweight titles are on Raw, I predict Edge will win and take the title to Smackdown. This should be a good match and may be match of the night.

The Hardys continue their heated rivalry in an I Quit match. Matt has won every match so far in this feud so I expect Jeff to win to even the score. This also has match of the night capabilities.

Here's my predictions for the other matches:

Christian over Jack Swagger to win the ECW title
Chris Jericho over Ricky Steamboat
C.M. Punk over Kane
