Undertaker vs. Batista- Chairs Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Do they finally get the belt off the banged-up Taker? I could totally see it here, but I'll go the safe pick and take the Dead Man.
John Cena vs. Sheamus- Tables Match for the WWE Championship: Tables match is a good way to give Cena the win without Sheamus having to take the pinfall loss.
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin- Ladder Match for the ECW Championship: Christian retains, since it seems like only in the last few weeks have they been building Shelton.
Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Degeneration X- TLC Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship: I could totally see DX winning, especially after tonight, but I'll go with the champs retaining.
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre, Intercontinental Championship: This is the belt that'll change hands, I'd guess. Big Mac wins his first championship.
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston: I'll go Orton winning here to get some of his heel heat back and continue this feud.
EDIT:
Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James- Women's Championship: Tough one here. I'll go with McCool retaining, but the feud won't be over.
Batista. Hey, we (well, me and several others, anyway) were wrong when we thought they'd use the multi-man title matches the last two months to get the belt off Taker without him taking a pin, so maybe he'll take one here. Or he'll take, um, whatever it is one takes when losing a chair match.
Cena. Obviously the win for Sheamus is that he's here.
Christian. Don't know yet whether Shelton's going to end up with the belt, but if he is it will take at least another match.
DX. I just can't even see HHH letting Jericho taunt him about how he's never going to win the belt and not then winning the belt. For whatever reason HHH is at his most "holding them down" when it comes to Our Role Model.
McIntyre. Morrison's been champ long enough and they're going to go with the McIntyre as golden boy and future world champ for a little while, anyway.
Kofi. By far the toughest one to call for me, but I'll go with the optimism here. I think they're really trying to establish Kofi.
EDITED TO ADD: Mickie. This is tough. The storyline with Mickie's humiliation should really set her up to win...but, then again, if VKM was high on Mickie, they probably wouldn't be doing the storyline anyway. I'm thinking she'll get some sort of DQ or other win that doesn't get her the belt.
Undertaker vs. Batista- Chairs Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Batista gets the belt and goes on a huge tear until Edge comes back to challenge him for the belt at WM.
John Cena vs. Sheamus- Tables Match for the WWE Championship Sheamus bores the crap out of me. I hope Cena squashes him Miz-style, but I'll say he wins and we get a rematch at the Royal Rumble to fill time.
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin- Ladder Match for the ECW Championship Christian wins. This match steals the show.
Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Degeneration X- TLC Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship Jericho's been on the hot streak of a lifetime, but I have DX winning here to give Jericho the opportunity to build himself up as the Rumble favorite.
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre, Intercontinental Championship Vince is apparently really high on McIntyre, so he'll get the belt here. The series of rematches should hopefully be entertaining.
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston Orton wins and sends Kofi back to Jobberville. Orton begins his own build as a Rumble favorite.
No Miz? No Swagger? No Punk? This looks like a terrible show.
WTF? It looks like a terrible show because it's missing three people? It's got two potentially great ladder matches, Orton/Kofi finally getting some time, and Batista and Undertaker and their crazy chemistry. It looks like the best WWE card in months.
Predictions: Batista, Sheamus, JeriShow, Orton, McIntyre, Christian. I think Sheamus gets the win here so they can big him up as being WWE champion so quickly, and it's a safe kind of match in which Cena can job without losing too much face. He'll drop it back to him fairly quickly.
Undertaker vs. Batista- Championship: Batista. Its too early to depush him.
John Cena vs. Sheamus- Tables Match for the WWE Championship: Cena, duh.
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin- Ladder Match for the ECW Championship: Christian. It will be the match of the night.
Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Degeneration X- TLC Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship: JeriShow. They need Jericho on Raw more then they need anyone else.
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre, Intercontinental Championship: Morrison.
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston: Kofi. He has earned it and Orton has bee very overused all year. Its time for some new stars.
John Cena. Sheamus dominates most of the match until Cena catches him and put him through the table. Sheamus no sells it and beats on Cena some more, leading to a rematch at Royal Rumble
Undertaker vs. Batista- Chairs Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Undertaker avenges two straight weeks of chair beatings to retain.
John Cena vs. Sheamus- Tables Match for the WWE Championship Sheamus via shenanigans. RAW needs a shake-up, and this is it.
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin- Ladder Match for the ECW Championship Shelton
Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Degeneration X- TLC Match for the Unified Tag Team Championship This smells like a fill-in angle until they decide who best to beat the champs.
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre, Intercontinental Championship Drew should win to allow Morrison a title chase. He hasn't had that since moving to SmackDown. He got the belt because Rey pulled his wellness.
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston Orton via Legacy.
"To be the man, you gotta beat demands." -- The Lovely Mrs. Tracker
World Heavyweight Championship (Chairs Match): Undertaker (c) vs. Batista- Undertaker has held the belt despite being nagged by what his body is telling him. This could be the hardest match to predict but I will go with The Animal taking the belt and giving the Deadman some rest. Also, what about the feud with Rey and Batista? Is that over now or will Batista end up losing to continue this feud? I still say Batista winning the belt.
WWE Championship (tables match): John Cena (c) vs. Sheamus- I will agree with Geemoney about having John Cena win without having "The Celtic Warrior" get a loss via pinfall.
ECW Championship (ladder match): Christian (c) vs. Shelton Benjamin- Shelton has been gaining some momentum but enough to become the new ECW champion as Christian retains in what should be a good match.
Unified Tag Team Titles (TLC match): Jeri-show vs. DX- I will go with DX here actually. I can definitely seeing the end results going both ways with Jeri-Show retaining and "proving" their dominance but I could also see DX winning their first tag titles together.
IC Championship: John Morrison (c) vs. Drew McIntyre- Drew has been dubbed as the future of the company and thus he wins the IC belt and we will see if he wins how he carries himself and the belt.
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston- Kofi has been gaining steady momentum and it seems that the WWE is now pushing the "fakin' Jamican" (korny I know) but I see Orton winning to keep his status as the top heel on Raw and pushing this feud a little bit longer.
Undertaker beats Batista in a Chairs Match thanks to Rey Mysterio's interference. Both Undertaker and Batista suffer legit injuries during the match, proving that the Chairs Match is the most brutal match in WWE history this month.
John Cena defeats Sheamus in a Tables Match when Cena rolls out of the way and Sheamus puts himself through a table. This will count even though it doesn't count most of the time in Tables Matches.
Christian defeats Shelton Benjamin in a four-minute Ladders Match to retain the ECW title.
Chris Jericho & The Big Show defeat Shawn Michaels and Triple H in a TLC Match to retain the tag belts.
Kofi Kingston defeats Randy Orton and goes on to fight John Cena at the Rumble.
Drew McIntyre defeats John Morrison to win the IC title.
Probably some woman will beat some other woman to win or retain one of the women's titles.
Undertaker vs. Batista: If Rey wasn't so beat up, I'd see Batista winning it, and following that, a Batista/Mysterio program for the title. You know, yeah - I think that will work. My vote's for Batista.
John Cena vs. Sheamus: I'll pick Sheamus, just because I think Cena's boring, and having someone new with the title sounds pretty enticing.
Christian vs. Shelton Benjamin: Damn, it's about time we see ECW on a PPV. Christian retains, but it's gonna be a fun match anyhow.
Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Degeneration X: DX doesn't need the belts, but it'd still be nice to see them win it. I'll go with that. DX wins it.
Mickie James vs. Michelle McCool: I like Mickie James - I think she's hot. I'll pick her. Otherwise, I really could care less. I did find the entire "Piggie James" routine to be a bit offensive though.
John Morrison vs. Drew McIntyre: John Morrison retains. This should be fun, but I'll stick with John.
Randy Orton vs. Kofi Kingston: Kofi wins it, but not in a decisive victory. I could see Legacy get involved. Doesn't DiBiase's movie come out soon? Maybe a face turn is in order....?
I agree with It's False. 2 1/2 out of 6 of the matches have potential. I'm being generous with the Jerishow vs. D-X match cause Show's gonna be "out" most of the match causing Jericho to pick up his slack.

I have it at 5 out of 6. Christian/Shelton, DX/Y2JTBS, and Kofi/Orton will all be good to great. Undertaker/Batista have a track record and Morrison is awesome.

.. and someone other than Orton and DX's facing Cena. Thats what we wanted, right?
I have it at 6 out of 6. This looks like a solid card.

Totes magotes. At the very least, that match will be way weird.
And now they've added Mickie vs. Michelle, so for six minutes, you've got the best girl babyface vs. the best girl ... athlete.
Cena retains the WWE Title, Batista wins the World Title, and Shelton wins the ECW Title, and earns his long-overdue first world heavyweight championship. (If only winning the ECW Title wasn't today's equivalent of winning the European or Television Title).
DX wins the Unified Tag Title, and earns the right to annoy the hell out of us all on both shows.
Morrison retains the I-C Title; Orton defeats Kingston to (rightly) get his heat back a little bit, but it doesn't put an end to Kofi's push, as the charismatic, immensely talented "Jamaican" Superstar continues to look like a million bucks.
Michelle retains the Women's Championship.
Christian/Shelton is the match of the night, assuming they give it any time. Which they very well might not.

Batista - anyone else think they are considering unifying the belts at WM 26? Who better than these two guys to do it? Although I can't imagine HHH not being a part of that kind of match, if it ever happened.
Jerishow
Mickie
Morrison - I think they hold off on Drew winning the belt for a few more weeks.
Shelton - no one else is picking him, and ECW is apparently going the way of the dodo anyway, so what the hell?

McIntyre over Morrison
Christian over Shelton
Michelle over Mickie due to Layla-ference

I really don't care about the t-shirt one way or the other, to me it's irrelevant. My basic point is that he makes money selling "sin." What's more, he helps WWE make money by selling "sin.
