Sweet, I always order the Royal Rumble.

Can't wait for it.

 

[Bulldog Force]

It's my favourite PPV. I love how one minute someone can be bashing another wrestler, then seconds later he's defending him against someone else :lol: It's so random and you never know what's next!

 

[Misanthrope]

With three babyface champions, I'd like to see a heel win the Rumble. But knowing the WWE - it could well be Triple H or Batista.

I can't see any of them winning it TBH. My guess is The Undertaker - he deserves a title reign again.

 

[Big Pete]

...again?

He's already featured in two Wrestlemania title matches over the past two years. Yes some people like to believe he's the WWE equivalent of Sting but surely the bookers can't be as geniused as the TNA bookers.

 

[Jono078]

I reckon Jericho should win the rumble and beat both Batista and Cena at Wrestlemania for the title

Nuh I dunno, it seems every top superstar in the WWE now has won the Rumble, I can't see a new person winning it.

Dude, winning the Royal Rumble gives you the WWE Title shot, not Heavyweight title shot... this year against Edge it was the Heavyweight title shot. Seeing the WWE title itself is now on the Smackdown brand, it's right up his alley.

Hmmm I wonder who'll be #30...probably HHH or Batista, Hopefully Jericho
Um BF...It gives the winner a shot at any world title

...and I'm sure that the winner will take the richest prize in the game, ie the WWE title. Triple H did.

 

[Matt23]

Regarding the winner...after reading the raw spoilers, I'm gonna tip Batista for the win, but i'd prefer Orton or Y2J

 

[Marshall_magic]

What I would have done is I would have had Edge hold the title till the Rumble, drop it to HHH in a title match there, then when Jeff Hardy was supposed to come down (towards the end), have his music go off 15-30 seconds, and nobody come down, then Edge comes in to replace him and wins the match.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

Its gotta be Christian...surely.

 

[Mateo Moi Moi]

I would like to see a heel win the Rumble.
Would set up an interesting couple of months heading into a Mania with a heel running rough shot over the WWE.

Wouldn't mind it being someone fresh to the title hunt (although unlikely seen as it is for a main event at Wrestlemania).

A few heel names I would like to see win the rumble - Orton, Mr Kennedy, Kozlov, Umaga, MVP. All of which are very unlikely though.

Orton and his "legacy" attacking all three champions heading into Mania could be good too.

Yeah - I predicted that ages ago.

Is Umaga still wrestling? I haven't seen him for ages. What's up with that?

 

[Matt23]

Umaga's out with a knee injury

:lol::lol::lol:

Are you that much of a mark?

They go for the title that is being contested on the show they're on, genius.

 

[pennywisealfie]

What ever happened to those big guys. Wasn't there a 3rd one too that always used to wear a weird glove on his face?
