Predictions: WWE Presents TLC!

Unified Tag Team Championships (TLC Match)
Jeri-Show vs. D-Generation X

Predicted Winner: DX
Reason: Jeri-Show's running campaign has been that DX has never been in a TLC Match, but neither has Big Show. DX has a tendency for not campaigning for title matches, like at the Survivor Series for the WWE Championship, but when it came down to business, they put on a hell of a match. I believe that the next succession in tag team champions who are worthy to transcend all three shows is DX. Jericho has done an amazing job, showing up on every episode of RAW, an episode of ECW, and making regular appearances on his own brand on SmackDown. Jericho even led SmackDown to victory at Bragging Rights, making SmackDown the superior brand. Jeri-Show has held the titles since Night of Champions, while Jericho held it just a bit longer at The Bash with his original partner Edge. Bottom line: Jeri-Show has run its course, its time for the DX Army to have their Generals decorated in Tag Team Gold. Plus, it would give us a chance to see history repeat itself: Jericho became the first Undisputed World Champion followed by Triple H - so now that Jericho is the Unified Tag Team Champion, who better than Triple H to succeed again?

WWE Championship (Tables Match)
John Cena vs. Sheamus

Predicted Winner: John Cena
Reason: Plain and simple, whenever they try boosting Sheamus, and that the rest of the WWE Locker Room can't stand Cena - WWE has to lessen Sheamus and boosting Cena even more. John Cena has been boosted up so high, exactly like Hulk Hogan, that it is not believable that a one-hit wonder like Sheamus can surpass "The Champ." Remember the late Eddie Fatu? WWE build him up as the Samoan Savage, undefeated - just like Sheamus, here - and gave him his first loss. That's what Cena does, he slays the giants, monsters, and freaks.

World Heavyweight Championship (Chairs Match)
The Undertaker vs. Batista

Predicted Winner: The Undertaker
Reason: Batista has been built up as a heel way to aggressively. Sure, Batista has defeated The Undertaker before, but I sense that the Deadman will prevail once again. This may be Taker's final World Title in his career, and I believe WWE wants to make it a long one. And sure, it's easy to be badass when you attack someone from behind, but what happens when you go one-on-one with The Phenom?

ECW Championship (Ladder Match)
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin

Predicted Winner: Shelton Benjamin
Reason: Shelton Benjamin has been in almost every MitB imaginable, and he has always been looked over. Shelton Benjamin is a world class athlete and deserves a major win. His gimmick has been dying out as he's been passed from brand to brand, but he returned to ECW for a second time looking to reinvent himself. 1st stay at ECW he became the Gold Standard (heel), now he is the Gold Standard (babyface). Christian has held the title for too long, and he claims he wants to steal the show, I think Shelton will be stealing the once-coveted ECW Title.

Intercontinental Championship
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre

Predicted Winner: John Morrison
Reason: Did you see that excellent promo-gag that Morrison did towards McIntyre? He was dressed like William Wallace! John Morrison defeated Rey Mysterio for the title back in the summer, and defeated Dolph Ziggler in countless IC Title matches. If anyone were to win the belt, it would be Drew McIntyre, but not tonight.

Women's Championship
Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James

Predicted Winner: Michelle McCool
Reason: As much as I would love Mickie to hold her 5th Women's Title (6th, including Divas') but McCool has held that title since The Bash, longer than current champ in the WWE. McCool has one-uped the likes of Natalya and Melina for those titles, and has always had lengthy reigns. Plus, McCool has Layla on her side, and Mickie could have Maria on her side, but more than likely she won't. I love to have Mickie James hold the gold, but more so, I love to see a long hard fought series of title matches, which will culminate into a big win. This could be the WrestleMania Divas match that we have been all waiting for. Let's not screw it up by making it a short feud.

Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston

Predicted Winner: Randy Orton
Reason: Mark Cuban is calling this the rubber match, since the score is 1-1, but if he was truly paying attention, the score is in Kofi's favor. Kingston cost Orton the WWE Title at Bragging Rights, humiliated him at MSG, and knocked him out at the Survivor Series. Kingston has all the momentum going into this match, but Kofi should also remember that at Unforgiven 2008, Legacy attacked Kofi when trying to protect CM Punk (babyface at the time). Kingston has enough momentum going into this match, but Orton is much stronger. Hopefully, this will be a hard fought match, it a lot of memorable spots culminating into a shattering RKO.
