Prediction:

NAWA World Title Match:
The Gambler vs the Dark Warrior(c):

The Gambler has been rising up the ranks over the past year, scoring a series of impressive victories. At the same time, the Dark Warrior captured the NAWA World Title at WrestleClash III, using an ether soaked rag. On the same night, The Gambler became the number one contender for the NAWA World Title beating Agony. The Dark Warrior brushed off the Gambler's chances of winning the NAWA World Title but he paid for it when the Gambler pinned the Dark Warrior in a six man tag team match a couple of weeks ago on Glory. Just last Thursday on Glory, the Dark Warrior attacked the Gambler after his victory with Christopher Daniels. The Gambler is definately the underdog in this title defense but as he proved with his victory during the six man tag team match a couple of weeks ago, it only takes one more and three seconds to win a match. Can the Gambler capture the NAWA World Title or will the reign of Destrucity continue for the Dark Warrior?

Prediction:

NAWA Cruiserweight Title Match:
Richard Ramos Ricardo, Attorney At Law(w/Mr. Fernado) vs Tony Mamaluke(c)

Tony Mamaluke worked hard for two years, attempting to capture singles gold and finally won the NAWA Cruiserweight Title at WrestleClash III, beating Teddy Hart. Richard Ramos Ricardo, Attorney At Law decided he wanted a chance at the Cruiserweight Title and after Mamaluke's title defense two weeks ago on Glory, he punked out Mamaluke, knocking him out with a briefcase. Mamaluke didn't take too kindly to that and as a result, the match is made for the NAWA Cruiserweight Title. Ricardo wants to capture gold but Mamaluke isn't willing to lose the Cruiserweight Title less than a month after he won it, so Ricardo won't get the title without a fight. Something's got to give and we shall see at Unholy Alliances this Sunday night.

Well, since predictions are so heartily welcomed...

Title matches first since I'm quite confident in these.

The Gambler won't be able to dethrone the Dark Warrior in this one, not a hope in hell. Probably. And although Mamaluke has just won the cruiserweight title, you're really into the RRRAaL character right now (and rightly so) so I'm going for a quick title change.

Right, the Unholy Alliances tournament. This is a tough one. My train of thought is that for the final match to be interesting, it's got to be between two viable winners. So...

Match #1: After the match Raven had at Wrestleclash, NO WAY is he going out of the tournament to Norman Smiley and Brian Kendrick. Raven and Sabin advance.

Match #2: I think Jerry Lynns partner is supposed to be A.J. Styles, might want to correct that there. The Lynn/Hall clash intrigues me, I'm thinking Harry Harris might make an appearance here, which would result in Lynn and Styles going through.

Match #3: Both Teddy and Killings are on a bit of a slump right now. Daniels and Punk both got the hell beat out of them at Wrestleclash but I'd expect them to pull through here.

Match #4: Waterman is the obvious challenger to Dark Warrior so I don't see him going out at the first hurdle. Besides, neither Stasiak or Bentley strike me as being the sorts to take the duke, even if there were interference, so Waterman and Sacrifice advance.

QF #2: I know I'm doing this out of order, it'll help me explain my thought process better. Remeber that interference I just mentioned? Something goes down here involving the Triumvirate and Waterman is cost the match, enabling Daniels and Punk to advance.

QF #1: Raven and Sabin vs Lynn and A.J. then. What this boils down to is which Wrestleclash rematch will we see in the final of the tag team section of the tournament: Styles and Punk or Daniels and Raven. Raven's been a little quieter lately, plus the Triumvirate are always on a roll, so Lynn and Styles advance here.

SF: I'm really really torn here. Daniels and Punk was my initial pick, but I'm starting to sway towards Lynn and Styles now I've started thinking about it. I'll say Lynn and Styles because it gives us face vs heel in the final, but if I'm wrong, I still get to claim I was right because Daniels/Punk was my original gut reaction.

Final: I don't see the Triumvirate breaking up for a Lynn/Warrior match and besides, they can't be TOO dominant, else it's the nWo all over again where they never lose. Styles takes the tournament. If, on the off chance Daniels and Punk do make it, Punk'll take the win.
