Breaking Point Predictions

BREAKING POINT



After Summerslam, I am 28-35 in my predictions. Here are my picks for Breaking Point.


When the WWE first announced that this pay-per-view was going to feature submission matches, I was very skeptical. I did not think that this would create exciting matches. I am glad to say that I was wrong. There are some very intriguing match-ups on this card. And many of these matches are difficult to predict.



-United States Championship Match
Kofi Kingston (CHAMPION) vs. The Miz

This match was added at the last minute, so there cannot be a lot of storyline reason behind the match. Kofi Kingston seems to be at a disadvantage here. He is used to defending the United States Championship in multi-challenger matches such fatal four-ways. Will he know how to deal with just one opponent? I have no idea who to pick here, so I asked my daughter “Kofi” or “Miz”. She said “Kofi”.

WINNER and STIL UNITED STATES CHAMPON: KOFI KINGSTON



-Kane vs. The Great Khali
Singapore Cane Match

I am not really sure why Kane dislikes the Great Khali. The reasons for this feud are not clear. But Kane won their match at Summerslam, so now it is time for Khali to get a win.

WINNER: THE GREAT KHALI



-Unified Tag Team Championship
Chris Jericho & The Big Show (CHAMPIONS) vs. Mark Henry & Montel Vontavious Porter

The build up for this match has been really well done. You have the “World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry taking on the “World’s Biggest Athlete” The Big Show. And you have two accomplished singles stars in Jericho and MVP. This will be a great match. But the pairing of Jericho and Big Show is just too impressive to lose the titles so soon. They are on the way to a long and dominate run as the Unified Tag Team Champions.

WINNERS AND STILL UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: CHRIS JERICHO & THE BIG SHOW



-WNGETBOROS Championship
Christian (CHAMPION) vs. William Regal w. Ezekiel Jackson & Vladimir Kozlov

Regal lost in an embarrassing 8 seconds to Christian at Summerslam. He looked like a joke. And that is because William Regal is a joke. He cannot win this rematch. If William Regal wins the WNGETBOROS title after such a humiliating defeat only a month ago, then this Championship will lose the tiny bit of prestige it has left.

WINNER and STILL WNGETBOROS CHAMPION: CHRISTIAN



-D-Generation X: Triple H & Shawn Michaels vs. The Legacy: Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase
Submissions count anywhere match

It seems like DX always wins. And they won at Summerslam against The Legacy. But Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase made a good showing of themselves in that match. They looked like they could easily have won. So here is round two of this feud. I think that The Legacy prevails here. The submissions count anywhere stipulation favors the sneaky and underhanded tactics of The Legacy. They can take this match backstage and use any number of strategies to get DX to submit. Hopefully this great feud continues and we get to see round three at the “Hell in a Cell” Pay-per-view.

WINNERS: THE LEGACY



-WWE Championship Match
Randy Orton (CHAMPION) vs. John Cena
“I Quit” match

I might as well flip a coin on this match. Either wrestler could win. Randy Orton has been such a dominate Champion that I have a hard time seeing him lose, especially since John Cena has had multiple opportunities to become the Champions in the last couple of months. But I also cannot see John Cena saying “I Quit”. Cena’s character has already been significantly weakened. He went from being a dominate Champion and THE man in the WWE to a guy who can’t seem to win a title no matter how hard he tries. If he says “I Quit”, that would completely destroy his character to the point where the WWE would need to rebuild him. For that reason, John Cena HAS to win.

WINNER and NEW WWE CHAMPION: JOHN CENA



-World Heavyweight Championship Match
CM Punk (CHAMPION) vs. Undertaker
Submission Match

This is another “flip a coin” prediction. CM Punk just won the World Heavyweight Championship at Summerslam. I do not think that he will lose the title less than a month later. And the Undertaker will never submit. NEVER! I expect Matt Hardy to interfere in this match to extract some revenge on Punk for making his brother leave wrestling. I am going to pick the Undertaker to win, because like I said he would never submit. But CM Punk will somehow retain the title. This match may even be ruled a no contest. It is going to be very interesting to see how this one plays out.

WINNER: UNDERTAKER



Enjoy BREAKING POINT!
