Professor Wrestling: 'No Way Out' Results

JBL, Michaels Finally Clash

POSTED: Thursday, February 12, 2009
UPDATED: 11:13 pm CST February 15, 2009

Listen up!

Class is in session.

One more stop before "WrestleMania 25," and its name is "No Way Out." In this WWE pay-per-view, we had two Elimination Chamber matches, an ECW title tilt and the next chapter in the JBL/Shawn Michaels drama.

Here's what I thought would happen, followed by what did happen:

No Holds Barred Match: Shane McMahon vs. Randy Orton
What Should Happen: Well, seeing that Orton is a trained wrestler who performs constantly and McMahon only gets in the ring when the storyline warrants it, ORTON SHOULD WIN!! I'm already getting a headache.

What Will Happen: Orton gets bloodied, but still gets the pin.

What Did Happen: Orton prevailed, pinning Shane.

ECW Championship Match: Jack Swagger (c) vs. Finlay
What Should Happen: I'm guessing the returning Christian will play a part in this somehow. He made his big return on WWE programming on the ECW show this past week, beating Swagger in a match. Nothing against the hard-working Finlay, but Swagger should win here so he can face Christian at the big, big show for the ECW title.

What Will Happen: Swagger will get the win.

What Did Happen: Swagger retained. Up next: Christian.

Challenge Match: JBL vs. Shawn Michaels
What Should Happen: Yeah, it'll steal the show. I'm that confident. Here, if JBL wins, Michaels forfeits all of his marketing rights to the bad guy and has to work for him forever. If Michaels wins, he's free of JBL's rule, but remains on his "payroll" for a year. JBL has to win here, to set up their expected WM25 rematch.

What Will Happen: JBL takes it.

What Did Happen: HBK won, winning his freedom.

WWE Championship 'Elimination Chamber' Match: Edge (c) vs. The Undertaker vs. The Big Show vs. Triple H. Vladimir Kozlov vs. Jeff Hardy
What Should Happen: I have a sneaking suspicion Triple H is going to win. Edge is a great heel, but I just don't see him retaining right now, with WM25 on the horizon. I think Hardy should win and face his brother Matt for the title, but WWE won't take that risk. They can probably get the same number of PPV buys with Jeff/Matt in a non-title tilt.

What Will Happen: I'm picking Triple H to win.

What Did Happen: Triple H pinned Undertaker in the end. Man, I'm good.

World Heavyweight Championship 'Elmination Chamber' Match: John Cena (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Mike Knox vs. Chris Jericho
What Should Happen: John Cena isn't going to miss "WrestleMania 25." And he's going to be the champion at that show. So this match is moot. In the end, it should be Cena and Mysterio battling it out. That'll give Rey room to be in a 3-way title match at WM25.

What Will Happen: Cena is the lock of locks here. Bet the mortgage.

What Did Happen: Somehow Edge -- who lost earlier -- replaced Kingston in this one. In the end, he pinned Mysterio for the victory.

That's it. For the record, I was three for five in the big matches -- another stellar performance.
