So the Rumble title matches are set then.
The Miz (c) vs. Randy Orton
Edge (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler in a title match is just all kinds of awesome. I don't see him winning at the Rumble, probably because Vickie or some shit, but it's cool cuz he's in the main event so I can't really ask for much else. He's going to put on a good match, he's going to be made to look good, and he's going to win the title at some point this year. Ziggler is on the rise and anyone who has issues with that is an idiot cuz the guy is the goods. The whole Vickie's new man vs her old man thing could make this fued a bit more interesting, especially if Edge kidnaps Vickie.
Orton in another title match is a good thing too as it leaves the Rumble wide open for someone who has never won it before to do so. Think about it, Orton is in a title match, as is Edge, Taker is hurt, HHH is MIA, Rey won't win again, and I think Cena will either have a match against Punk at RR or he'll get tossed by NeXus. So who does that leave us to win the RR? I really only see 3 options here.
1) Sheamus. He's the 2010 KotR, and winning the RR could just further him into greatness. Have him win the MitB this year and the guy has pretty much won a good amount of honors in his first few years.
2) John Morrison. Clearly the WWE is behind him and clearly they want to give him a run with a title, but the question is when? His title match on Monday was pretty damned good and I could easily see him using his athletic ability to win the Rumble.
3) Alberto Del Rio. Safe to say, he's got to be the odds on favorite to win the Rumble. He's been booked strong against Rey, and of all the guys on SD on the brink of main eventing, I see Del Rio being the guy who gets there next.
