Judgment Day is coming. Sure, you’ve been hearing that from crazy people street corners for years, but I can absolutely, positively guarantee you that Judgment Day arrives on Sunday. Granted, it will be WWE Judgment Day and not the biblical version, but the fallout could be just as monumental. Well, not really, but it’s still a big show.
Triple H defends the WWE Title against Randy Orton inside a steel cage: Triple H pinned Orton in the main event of last month’s pay-per-view to kick off what feels like his 500th title reign (it’s actually No. 12, but who’s counting?). He had Orton locked in crossface finishing hold when the self-proclaimed “most powerful entity in WWE” William Regal stopped their match the next night by having the production truck cut the tv feed. This past Monday night, Hunter beat up Orton to close out the show.
These things usually work better when the fans are given a reason to think there’s at least a small chance that the champion could actually lose, but I digress. Orton wants to reduce his schedule this summer because his wife is expecting a little Legend Killer. As such, there’s really no reason to think that Hunter is going to drop the strap this early in his run.
Undertaker will face Edge for the vacant World Hvt. Championship: The Dead Man beat Edge to regain the Smackdown version of the World Title at WrestleMania 24. He successfully defended it against The Rated R Superstar last month at Backlash. Taking all that into account, you might think Taker is a lock to regain the title that Smackdown general manager Vickie Guerrero stripped him of last month. That just seems to obvious, though. There has to be some reason the company took the title away from Taker, right? My guess is that this is their way of putting the belt back on Edge without actually having Undertaker lose. In other words, I smell a cheap DQ finish.
