Sheamus defends the WWE title against John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase & Kofi Kingston in the Raw Chamber. PREDICTION: This is the toughest match on the card to call. I see Sheamus dropping the title, though. The odds are too stacked against him. In order of winning, I see Triple H, Randy Orton, John Cena, Ted DiBiase and Kofi Kingston. If Triple H wins, it gives Edge a choice, although we'll likely see HHH-Sheamus at WrestleMania. Orton is likely better off facing DiBiase at WrestleMania, while Cena and Batista seemed destined to meet. And Kofi? Sorry. Won't happen. 
 
The Undertaker defending the World heavyweight title against John Morrison, R-Truth, CM Punk, Chris Jericho & Rey Mysterio in the Smackdown Chamber. PREDICTION: I think it's safe to say Undertaker will drop the title. WWE seems to want an Undertaker-Shawn Michaels match at WrestleMania. In order of winning, I see Jericho, Punk, Morrison, Mysterio and R-Truth. Jericho seems like the safest bet, as Edge will challenge him for the title at WrestleMania. Punk vs. Mysterio is being rumored for WrestleMania. WWE is considering turning Morrision heel, so it doesn't have world-title faith in him like I hoped. And R-Truth? It just won't happen.
 
Maryse vs. Gail Kim for the vacant Divas title. PREDICTION: There is no reason Gail should win this match. Maryse is a much more interesting character, and can do much more with the title in numerous feuds.
 
Drew McIntyre vs. Kane for the IC title. PREDICTION: WWE is high on McIntyre, and he should win this match. Kane doesn't need the IC title.
