No Way Out Preview

Jack Swagger vs Finlay

I feel this match will open the show and I think it will be terrible. This match is exactly what is wrong with the current ECW.

On one hand you have Jack Swagger—a man who has been on the main roster for about six months and is already champion and while he has a lot of potential he does not deserve to champion already.

On the other hand you have Finlay—a washed up old veteran who should never be anywhere near any championship never mind a world championship.

Any credibility he had in recent years was lost when they turned him face, put a hat on him and made him dance with around the ring with a midget every week. Jack Swagger will retain and should be put over cleanly. Expect Christian to make an appearance whether it is during or after the match.

Winner: Jack Swagger

Shawn Michaels vs. JBL

This match will be best if it is kept short as JBL is horrible in the ring. Even though Shawn Michaels is excellent in the ring, he will struggle to carry JBL. The build up to this was strong to begin with but has become a bit stale lately and I hope this is the end to this feud. It’s a nailed on guarantee that Shawn Michaels will win because of the stipulations added to it. I would like to see Shawn Michaels to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV.

Winner: Shawn Michaels

Elimination Chamber: Edge, The Big Show, The Undertaker, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, and Vladimir Koslov

This chamber match is reasonable strong with a few possible winners. Edge and Triple H are favourites but The Undertaker does have an outside chance.

On the other hand I don’t think there is a chance of a Hardy, Show, or Koslov victory and would have preferred to see Shelton Benjamin or even MVP.

They will plant seeds for a Koslov and Big Show match at WrestleMania XXV. The final two will be Edge and Triple H with Triple H picking up the win and carrying the title into Wrestlemania. Matt Hardy will play some part here as well.

Winner: Triple H

Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon

I can’t help but feel this match is a part of something much better and because of this feeling I can’t take this match seriously.

From where I see it there are two outcomes here.

The first being Randy Orton destroys Shane McMahon with the help of Priceless and Stephanie McMahon, who turns on her family and joins Legacy. Or, Orton and Shane McMahon pretend to fight and eventually turn on Stephanie McMahon and Shane joins Legacy. Either way, one member of the McMahon family will turn and join Randy Orton. As for which one that’s a much harder call but I’m going with Stephanie.

Winner: Randy Orton

Elimination Chamber: John Cena, Chris Jericho, Kofi Kingston, Mike Knox, Rey Mysterio and Kane

This chamber match does not compare in quality to the Smackdown one. The main reason is there is only one realistic winner and that is John Cena.

I have no problem seeing Kofi Kingston in here as he can provide some good spots and will have a good showing here. My main problem is Mike Knox. What has he done to be in this match? He is currently involved in a terrible feud with Rey Mysterio. I just don’t understand why CM Punk is not in this match. The final two will no doubt be Jericho and Cena with Cena getting the clean pin fall.

Winner: John Cena
