Could We Really See A New Champion at WWE Unforgiven?

Now it looks like they were able to do it with the draft. Unlike the other names in the scramble, he has never even made it to the upper-mid card. In fact he's the only guy in the match who has never held a singles title.

So who will win these matches?

The match is advertised as only recognizing the winner of the match as the champion, so if you won it at the 10 minute mark at the end of the match you were never the champion. It's like the winner an Iron Man match you can get the 1st pin fall, but it's only the real winner of the match that counts.

So who do you have as the real winner? We will probably have a big gimmick match from Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho to headline the PPV. Undertaker will probably have a match with someone from La Familia or maybe all of La Familia.

ECW will have a world title match (in all actuality, they could use a scramble, as Henry, The Miz, Morrison, Finlay and Hardy all could use the ppv to gain momentum.)

Kofi seems to be chasing the title he never lost and a diva's or woman's championship match is on every ppv. (Beth vs Mickie has the most momentum). We may even see Team Priceless and Cryme Tyme have a tag title match.

After those matches have gone on, you bring in your title matches.  When you have two of the same matches both for titles in order to keep them both exciting you need to pull a swerve.

In other words, if someone retains in the first of the two matches then you lead the viewer to believe that the odds are beatable, so it's predicable and unentertaining to see the second match carry out the same way. 

With CM Punk being the new champion, he will benefit greatly from retaining over Kane, Cena, Batista and JBL. Overcoming those odds will give him even more credibility.

It's one thing to beat Kane, Batista, and JBL, but to beat them all at once gives you a big boost. None of the opponents really need this win right now anyway.

Cena will probably benefit more from not being champion right now as fans like him as long as he isn't holding the belt for a year at a time. Batista can be looked at is a similar manner.

This match is a way to prolong a one-on-one rematch between the two as long as possible (if Mania is possible).

Kane looks to have an interesting storyline with Mysterio in the works and doesn't need the belt right now to get over, and JBL is beyond his years for being the centerpiece of a show but he can still be an entertaining antagonist. With nobody really needing the win, there we look at the Smackdown scramble.

HHH, the 12-time World Champion, is in a match with four superstars who altogether have a total of 0 world title reigns.

Needless to say, he doesn't need the belt to get over. So let's look at his title reign so far. He had a full-fledged feud with Orton that they milked dry. Then he had the rematch that the WWE has been wanting to do for years with Cena.
