Let's hear them.
I'm going with Kennedy right now, as I believe he will turn babyface next year.

I really want a heel win, like a proper heel to win. I didn’t consider Batista a heel when he won, so it’s been ages since a heel won this thing.
So I would go for someone on Smackdown, hmmmm, uhhhhhh, yeah scrap that, Smackdown has no good heels right now, unless MVP wins, which won’t happen.
So a Kennedy win would be good with a face turn, but I don’t think he deserves it.
I’d love for Jeff to win it and have a mega push, he’s the most over guy they’ve got right now.

Wait, what the fuck am I saying? Jericho for the WIN!

ooOOOO
Or Edge

I say Edge wins and challenges Taker for the title at Mania.
And if Jericho's around maybe he'll win and challenge Orton.
The other guess is Kennedy winning and challengng HHH.
I think one of those 3 will be the WM main event.

Cena, He will go 1 - 30 And already have the title.

Spoiler: Cena Wins
That, or The Swog. I'm sure Vince would push his own son, right?

There are a lot of guys I want it to be, but I can honestly see them giving it to Bobby Lashley. It should be Chris Jericho, with Mr. Kennedy, MVP and Matt Hardy being outside options. Edge wouldn't be completely horrible, either.

Lashley sounds about right. He's coming back around December, that gives him just enough time to squash Kennedy AND win the Rumble.

For once, I'd like the winner to not be so ridiculously obvious. I know WWE isn't pushing Shelton anymore, but if he was in the upper mid-card, he'd be a nice surprise. Maybe even someone like Jeff Hardy. I don't think he should be champion, but he'd be pretty exciting chasing the title provided he can remember to show up to every show.
I just want to be surprised and excited. If they can make it seem like Kennedy won't be winning the Rumble, but does, I'll be happy in the end.

Though I wouldn't mind Edge winning it, provided he doesn't have too much ring rust.

Alls I know is I don't want the Rumble winner to win at Mania. It's made Wrestle Mania so dull.

I could see Mr. Kennedy giving a performance like Ric Flair in the 1992 Royal Rumble. He comes out early, with the colour commentator all like "he can do it," and then he actually does do it, and surprises everyone.

Also, I'd mark out pretty hard for a Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Hardy end to the 2008 Royal Rumble. That would be fucking sweet as shit. Especially if Matt Hardy won, going semi-heelish on his younger brother.

Kennedy or Jericho. Either of them would be good for me.

John Cena.
Seriously.
He makes a surprise return at the Rumble as a late entry, wins it. Works a light schedule while he recovers and then wins the title back at Mania.

Edge, if he's back in time, I can see it being him.

Vince will win.

Jericho last eliminating Kennedy or Edge.

Face - Jeff Hardy
Heel - MVP

I did say in my RTW, Edge has done it all but win the Royal Rumble, sadly don't see it happening, as I say he proberly won't even take part in the Rumble match itself but as an challenger to Undertaker or Batista.
Honestly, wouldn't mind to see Kane get an nod but won't happen.
So I'm going to go with
Triple H
God Dammit.

Hunter or Michaels will win...slight possibility of Jericho pulling one out, but I wouldn't bet on it...

Jericho will have the belt before the Rumble
Massive crazy points for me if this prediction is true~

30 men will enter, 1 will leave.

30 men will enter, 1 will leave.
Which isn't really true, I mean, they all leave. More like, 30 will enter, 1 remains.

Spoiler...Cena wins.

Which isn't really true, I mean, they all leave. More like, 30 will enter, 1 remains.
Which also isn't even true, from the year(s) there have been multiple winners. I guess even my overgeneralized prediction was off the mark.

Cena is gonna win
any other option will not work

The only year there were 2 official winners was the year that Hart and Luger co-won. Which was gay. Cena and Batista sort of co-won, but the match was then restarted. And then Vince tore his quad getting in the ring(I don't remember, was that an accident or what? The semi-co-win, not Vince's quad.)

I'd hope it goes to either Kennedy or MVP.
Kennedy could use it the most, depending on how well WWE push him between now and the Rumble.
MVP is the total package, so he doesn't really need it, but the earliest I think MVP should win a World title should be Backlash - Summerslam, during the comedown from WM.

Nah it would be too early for MVP IMO. They can easily save him for say Wrestlemania 25.
