That's what I'm thinking, too. I mean, they could have waited a few weeks to pull trigger on Edge vs. Punk, but they kick it off at Rumble time.
The Undertaker and Batista are both being pushed as Edge's biggest threats. I don't think it makes sense for either of them to win because of this reason. It makes the most sense that Edge, Chavo Guerrero, Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins make sure that at some point, those two men go over.
It's got a very small chance of happening, but Punk is the right character to slip through the radar of Edgie Guerrero, and win the Rumble in a shock move.
Reasons why the WWE would do this:
* For some reason The Undertaker does not feel he has a WrestleMania main event in him (injuries catching up again, most likely).
* The heat is not off for the steroids and shit, so they want to push a "drug free" guy.
* Vince suddenly got a hard-on for him, or he really likes the idea of pushing surprisingly people after Jeff Hardy has been so successful.
Most of us have been calling for a shock Rumble win for a while, and Punk has more of a chance than say...Shelton Benjamin or Mr. Kennedy, two other guys people have been calling dark horse picks.
My pick went from The Undertaker to Triple H, and while I'm not ready to go right ahead and say my pick is now CM Punk, I don't think it's as far out of the question as many believe.
