WWE Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase: Sheamus went over strong on Raw tonight, and I think he takes on Triple H at 'Mania. With Orton likely hooking up with Legacy and Cena going interbrand with Batista, I say Triple H wins here and faces Sheamus at 'Mania. Oh, and also, a Triple H win here would piss HBK off even more.
World Heavyweight Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk: I think HBK may get in this Friday over Morrison due to his worked injury, but I don't think it'll change my prediction. Jericho wins, faces Edge at 'Mania.
This being the first WWE PPV I've been lucky enough to catch in person, I am really excited to see these matches. It's gotta be better than the last PPV I went to (WCW's Capital Combat)
WWE Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase:As much as I would REALLY love a DiBiase win and match up with Orton at Wrestlemania, I think either Sheamus or HHH takes the belt. I'm going to guess Sheamus, so that HHH can face him at WM and take back the belt.
World Heavyweight Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk: With UT and HBK both saying they are taking time off after WM, it's obvious neither of them will have the title, so I am going with Jericho.
Going by tonight's result, I'll pick MizShow to beat MVP/Henry

I'm going to edit my post by the weekend to reflect the added matches, but as the card stands now.
Not sure if the first two are happening, but just in case.
MizShow over MVP/Henry.. it's too bad they dropped the good MVP/Miz feud for this out of nowhere.
Edge over Batista, possibly by DQ. Seems a terrible idea to go with this match when both guys will heavily factor into WM, but eh.
Maryse over Gail Kim.. they don't like Gail, I'm amazed she even made it to the finals.
I hate to be predictable but McIntyre/Jericho/Sheamus seem likely to me, so I'm hoping for an upset. If I had to pick one, it'd be Undertaker retaining in his, but I'll go with Jericho officially.
Fresh off my 100% rating for last year, I shall enter this
WWE Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase
Sheamus retains somehow - otherwise, what do they do with him at Wrestlemania?
World Heavyweight Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk:
Edit: going to change this one to CM Punk, since there was nothing more on Smackdown. He'll probably still enter and win at EC, but I am changing to punk anyway.
I agree with HBK getting in and winning the EC, and then taking on the Deadman at
Intercontinental Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Kane: McIntyre wins, one can hope
Divas Championship Match: Gail Kim vs. Maryse: Maryse wins.
If they add Henry/MVP and ShowMiz as some others have suggested, I take ShowMiz

WWE Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase: Triple H gets the win, and Sheamus challenges at Mania.
World Heavyweight Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk: HBK replaces Morrison, but does NOT win; after he gets eliminated, he immediately superkicks Undertaker to cost him the match. Jericho then gets the win, Edge challenges.
Intercontinental Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Kane: McIntyre
Divas Championship Match: Gail Kim vs. Maryse: Maryse.

I won't be watching, but that doesn't stop me from picking.
WWE Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase: It's going to be either H or Sheamus. I'll go with Sheamus retaining.
World Heavyweight Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk: While I don't discount the fact they could keep the belt on Taker (and it wouldn't surprise me either, WEEEE think is rarely logical), there's going to be Edge vs Jericho and HBK vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania. One match doesn't need the title belt, and the other is boosted by it. So Jericho wins.
Intercontinental Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Kane: McIntyre wins. Poor Kane deserves better.
Divas Championship Match: Gail Kim vs. Maryse: If WEEE had shown any kind of confidence or willingness to showcase Gail Kim, I'd say she wins this after foiling Maryse's attempt to heel a victory. But, they aren't really pushing her and she's given them no reason as she somehow always looks bad in a WEEE ring. So as it stands, Maryse will win after successfully heeling her way to a pinfall.
I'll edit here if other matches get announced.

Maryse d. Gail McIntyre d. Kane Jericho wins Smackdown chamber Triple H wins Raw chamber ShowMiz over Henry & MVP if it happens Batista over Edge if it happens
Elimination Chamber (WWE Championship): As geemoney pointed out, it will either be Sheamus or Triple H. I don't see Cena as a favorite because I am assuming Cena faces Batista at WM 26. A win here for Sheamus would make him look credible again but Triple H winning would make things interesting for Trips and HBK. I will go with Sheamus retaining on this one just to make him look like a legitimate champion heading into WM.
Elimination Chamber (World Heavyweight Title): Everyone is predicting HBK to fill the void of Morrison's story-lined injury as well am I. Who wins here? Does Undertaker win and head into WM the champion? He has held the belt longer than many of us predicted based on how his body is treating him. Or does HBK win assuringly he will go into the chamber? Jericho is the other possibility where as expected, he will face Edge. Hmmmmm. I will also say Jericho wins setting up a Jericho/ Edge 'Mania match.
The IC Championship: I see Drew McIntyre winning and retaining over Kane and hopefully in a clean manner,
Divas Championship: I forgot who it was, but someone translated what Maryse said but it wasn't nice saying Gail Kim was garbage or something of the other. Either way, I will go against the grain here and say Gail wins her second belt and somehow knows what Maryse was saying in French.

Sheamus seems like the likely pick to solidify him, but Cena could win if Vince has promised Batista the other title shot. Dave did say that he hopes Cena wins. And Sheamus laid them out at the end of Raw; typically if Cena was going to lose, he'd have been the last man standing at the end of TV while they said JOHN CENA IS ON FIRE GOING INTO ELIMINATION CHAMBER.
Ladies and gentlemen, the following public service message is brought to you by your friends from D-Generation X, who would like to remind each and every one of you that if you're not down with that, we've got two words for you... RAW Elimination Chamber: Kofi & Ted are just there to pad the numbers, and with Cena obviously being prepped for an interpromotional confrontation with Batista that may or may not be involved with the Bret/Vince feud, he's not getting the belt either. That leaves Sheamus, Orton & HHH, and I think a three-way between them is one of our WM title matches. Orton winning the title doesn't help further the Legacy split, and Sheamus won't appear worthy to Joe Fan of being in the match unless he's the champ, so Sheamus retains off the back of Orton doing most of the leg work.
SD Elimination Chamber: Truth, Rey and Morrison (if they leave him in), like Kofi & Ted in the RAW Chamber, are only there to pad the match. As much as Punk deserves the belt right now, they clearly don't have faith in him at the moment, so he's out of consideration as well. The only way we get to UT/Shawn Mark 2 is if Shawn costs UT the belt, because if UT remains champ then he's got no real reason to deal with him. That doesn't mean Shawn wins, though - even though DX just had a run with the unified tag titles, I doubt Shawn's going to want to be making appearances on SD for a month and a half. Throw in Edge and it's a pretty obvious setup for Jericho taking the belt. My only hope is that they have the balls to put Jericho over Edge at WM.
I'll take Gail over Maryse for the Divas belt. They've actually been showcasing Gail in the ring, where you can't say the same for Maryse; that's got to count for something. It would also be a face win on a show that's going to be heel-heavy.
Kane makes Drew look good en route to losing to him. He certainly doesn't need the belt.
If Batista vs. Edge happens, I'll go with Edge. Again, heel-heavy show needs some face wins; plus Cena should be the one to escalate things with Batista now (and then maybe you have Batista get retribution by invading the Chamber to cost Cena the match). It also makes it easier to book Jericho over Edge at WM if Edge is going in with two big wins.
smark/net attack Advisory System Status is: Elevated (Holds; June 18, 2006) While the switch from Cena to RVD should alleviate some complaints, the inevitability of the belt's return to Cena (note where Summerslam is this year) and the poor initial showing by the new ECW are enough to keep the indicator where it is for now. The pieces are in place, though, especially on RAW, for improvements to be made to the IWC's psyche in the near future.
WWE Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase: Sheamus retaining, largely because I think he's picking up steam.
World Heavyweight Championship, Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk: Michaels finds a way in, wins the EC forcing the UT to use the rematch clause. This also lets them go last on the show at Wrestlemania.
Intercontinental Championship Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Kane: I like how the IC belt is being used to elevate people from the mid-card to the upper-mid/top. Drew holds on to the belt until some other young riser can take it form him in a two or three month feud.
Divas Championship Match: Gail Kim vs. Maryse: Gail wins here, rematch next month.

MVP/Henry vs. ShowMiz(if it happens)-ShowMiz, easiest pick of the night
Dunno where this Edge/Batista match rumor came from, I thought I had heard they were wrestling on Smackdown Friday. But Edge wins if it happens.
Kane vs. McIntyre-Drew wins clean
Gail vs. Maryse-Gail
After last year's Chamber matches I don't feel there is any really safe pick honestly. Yet I'll go with the consensus predictions.
Raw Chamber-I'll go with Sheamus, setting up him getting sacrificed to HHH at Mania. I really hope they don't have a 3-way with Orton involved. Triple Threat matches are the laziest booking in wrestling.
Smackdown Chamber-Jericho. Either way I see HBK getting involved, whether he replaces Morrison or not. If he doesn't he interferes to cost Taker the match and piss him off enough to come after HBK. If he is in the match he comes in first, lasts until a bit before the last person enters(Taker). It will be him and Jericho as the last two before Taker comes in with Jericho getting some kind of flukey roll-up/reversal pin. HBK sees only one way of getting Taker at Mania. He hits the superkick on Taker as he is leaving the ring and Taker exits hit pod. Jericho cleans up with a Codebreaker for the title. Either way Taker is PISSED at him. And then Taker can cut promos saying that last year he respected Shawn going into their match, this year he's going to destroy him. And that the last time he was this pissed at Shawn he mauled him in the Cell and then put him out for 4 years at the Rumble.
Seems like a thin card, I'd expect one or two more matches. Has any other matches been announced on the Smackdown spoilers? Does the WWE tend to announce new matches on their website? I admit, I don't spend much time on there.
But I digress: Onward to the prediciton!
RAW Elimination Chamber Match: Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston vs. John Cena vs. Ted DiBiase: Geemoney makes a valid point with his prediction, but I admit I don't want to see Sheamus vs. Triple H at Wrestlemania. I'm gonna go on a limb and suggest Randy Orton wins it.
If anything, we never saw the blow up match between Orton and Edge after Rated RKO ended, despite it being an amicable split. Did we?
Interesting how the fans are actually cheering for Orton - is the WWE trying to turn him face, or is it because the fans just refuse to cheer on Sheamus. It's compelling, and as a Randy Orton fan, I'm glad he's getting a chance to be a face again. I thought his last face turn ended too quickly.
Smackdown Elimination Chamber Match: The Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk: So, let's see: Undertaker is injured and needs surgury. Check. Rey Mysterio is injured and needs surjury. John Morrison is "injured" and needs "surgury". Check. That leaves R-Truth, CM Punk and Jericho...but I think I'm gonna go with Rey Mysterio. If anything, I think he deserves a title reign. CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio for the title at WM would inspire me to buy the PPV.
Drew McIntyre vs. Kane: I'll go with Kane. Rubber match at Wrestlemania?
ShowMiz vs. MVP/Henry, If it happens, it'd probably be the first match, right? To add a little fire to the feud, I'm gonna go with MVP and Henry. If you told me five years ago that I'd be cheering on either MVP or Mark Henry, I'd tell you that you were crazy...but here I am. I'm loving their chemistry.
Batista vs. Edge: If it happens, it could go one of two ways. It could end up being a double DQ brawl-to-the-back kinda fight, but if Hart's booked for the show, he could distract Batista thus giving Edge the chance to pin Batista. I can't really predict this one, but I'm going with Edge winning.

I guess I have to start paying attention a little more closely because that is a good point. Batista is a Smackdown superstar if I am correct so would this be another loophole for Batista to get a title shot even if it is on another brand? It wouldn't be the first (and it won't be the last time) that I missed something.
