WWE Survivor Series 2009 Preview and Predictions

The 23rd annual Survivor Series takes place in just 24 hours, and the card is unlike any that we have seen this year.

Two Triple-Threat matches with major titles on the line, and tons of Traditional Survivor Series action in store. Let's get to the card.

MATCH 1: Team Mickie (Mickie James, Divas Champion Melina, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres) vs. Team Michelle (Women's Champion Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Layla, Alicia Fox)

Something the WWE Universe is not used to seeing is an all-Divas Survivor Series match. Both sides have their strong points, with former Women's Champs James, Melina, and Kim on one side, and the reigning champ McCool on the same side with former champ Phoenix.

I see the match going like this: Eve, Kelly, Jillian, and Layla will be the first ones to go. Phoenix will pin Kim, and James will then eliminate the Glamazon soon after. From there, James and Melina clean house, leaving them the last two standing.

Winner: Team Mickie

MATCH 2: Team Morrison (Intercontinental Champion John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Finlay, Shelton Benjamin) vs. Team Miz (United States Champion The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Jack Swagger)

Odd picks for some of these teams. On a different note, tensions have been rising between the U.S. Champ and the All-American American. With Sheamus and his destructive tendencies, he may be one of the first eliminations, being disqualified.

In the end, I can see it down to Morrison and Bourne against Swagger and Miz. Swagger KO's Bourne with the gutwrench powerbomb, and then, as Miz tries to finish off Morrison, Swagger turns on his teammate, allows Morrison to pin his former partner, and then Morrison clinches the win with Starship Pain.

Winner: Team Morrison

And now, the most anticipated of the three Traditional Survivor Series matches.

MATCH 3: Team Kingston (Kofi Kingston, ECW Champion Christian, R-Truth, MVP, Mark Henry) vs. Team Orton (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, William Regal, CM Punk)

This was set up after Kofi decided to be one of the few to stand up to the Viper. Preventing Legacy from costing John Cena the WWE Championship was first, and then, when Orton decided to retaliate, the former U.S. Champion de-customized the NASCAR stock car that Legacy had given to Orton, even giving it a new paint job.

The line-ups give the match a better rating, as it features someone on each side who is feuding with an opponent (Kingston/Orton, MVP & Henry/Legacy, etc.).

This one is also harder to call, as the caliber of each participant is extremely high. For the sake of the underdog and the good guys, I'm giving it to Kofi.

Winner: Team Kingston

MATCH 4: Rey Mysterio vs. Batista

Yet another David vs. Goliath matchup, but this one looks like it could be a showstopper. After the Fatal Four Way last month in which Batista was unable to win the World Heavyweight Title, he attacked long-time friend Mysterio, blaimg him for the loss.

Now they will settle it once and for all in the ring. Although Rey may be expected to pull off the same old underdog win, Batista knows him too well.

Rey will hit a 619, try to hit a splash, but Batista catches him in mid-air and finishes the luchador with a Batista Bomb.

Winner: Batista

MATCH 5:  WWE Championship: John Cena (c) vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels

Weeks ago, RAW guest hosts Joey Logano and Kyle Busch shocked fans everywhere by putting Cena and the two members of D-Generation X in a triple-threat match with the WWE Title on the line.

DX seems to have gotten more serious lately, and so has Cena, who has gone to lengths to try to divide the two by using the match as leverage.

With them always breaking up each other's pins here, it will divide them long enough for Cena to pull off the win.

Winner: John Cena

MATCH 6: World Heavyweight Championship: The Undertaker (c) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Big Show

Why do both major title matches have to have the same concept of champ versus tag team? Despite this, there is a bigger problem between the champs than DX. Jericho has already proven that he doesn't mind selling out his own partner to win the World Championship.

Big Show may take this to heart and focus more on Jericho than the Deadman. And the best part, this may finally be the end of Jeri-Show! Woo hoo!

Show knocks out Jericho with the punch, giving Taker the opening to pin the thesaurus-reading, guest host beating, brain-dead Muppet head.

Winner: The Undertaker

Well, that's it folks. Any comments or feedback is appreciated, as well as your thoughts on who will walk out triumphant.
