WWE No Way Out Preview

The road to WrestleMania continues tonight in Seattle at No Way Out, headlined by two Elimination Chamber matches, as well as everyone’s favourite Superstar, Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon in a No Holds Barred match.

Can Edge hold on to his title to headline WrestleMania in consecutive years? Will Shawn Michaels become JBL's intellectual property? Will Jack Swagger's losing streak continue with him losing the ECW Championship? For the answers to these questions and more, click on the link below.

WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match: Edge vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H vs. Big Show vs. Vladimir Kozlov vs. The Undertaker

This may be the most intriguing match of the night, and will probably be the best one too. Besides Kozlov, all of these performers have shown that they can deliver on the big stage.

I think Edge will retain leading to a match with Triple H or Big Show (or both) next month at WrestleMania. It seems as though WWE likes at least one Triple Threat Championship Match at WM recently, so Edge vs. Triple H vs. Show is a strong possibility. What's not in doubt is Triple H sneaking into the main event picture, which is why I could also see Triple H winning the title, and going on to face Orton at WM. Stranger things have happened.

As for the others, Jeff Hardy is obviously facing his brother next month, and it'll be interesting to see if Matt gets involved in any way in the Chamber match. Kozlov appears to be Undertaker's next WM victim.

Winner: Edge, still WWE Champion

World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match: John Cena vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Mike Knox

Is there anyone out there who thinks Cena will lose? I doubt it. Jericho is the only one who poses a legitimate challenge -- but unless Rourke and Flair haved backed out of WM, that's not going to happen. At least Kingston and Knox are getting a shot in front of a PPV audience.

Winner: John Cena, still World Heavyweight Champion

No Holds Barred Match: Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon

Orton should beat the shit out of McMahon for 15 minutes, and Orton shouldn't sell anything. That should happen, but it may not. What we can count on: a crazy move performed by Shane McMahon.

How this leads to a match with Cena, and gets Vince and Stephanie involved in the program, is something I can't answer, which is why I could see Orton challenging Triple H at WM.

Winner: Randy Orton

All or Nothing Match: Shawn Michaels vs. JBL

Like most other fans (or at least the type of fans who visit this site), I want to see this angle continue. The best way for that to happen would be with a JBL victory. I expect the crowd to be on the edge of their seats through all the false finishes, as many fans are emotionally involved in this story. I also expect some great heel interaction between JBL and Shawn's wife.

Winner: JBL

ECW Championship: Jack Swagger vs. Finlay

This match should be a good one, but truthfully, I'm more interested in seeing how Christian fits in. Swagger can't lose the title after only holding it for one month, and he needs to look strong after being pinned by Christian on Tuesday night. So Swagger wins, leading to a Triple Threat Match for the ECW Championship at WM.

Winner: Jack Swagger, still ECW Champion

Here's how I see the WrestleMania 25 card shaping up:

World Heavyweight Championship: John Cena vs. Randy Orton
WWE Championship: Edge vs. Triple H
ECW Championship: Jack Swagger vs. Christian vs. Finlay
The Undertaker vs. Vladimir Kozlov
Chris Jericho vs. Ric Flair w/ Mickey Rourke
Shawn Michaels vs. JBL
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy
Money in the Bank Ladder Match
