Its hard for me to answer these types of questions.

I always see things in terms of wht makes sense and what would be good for business. I would like to see Chris Jericho win the Rumble and win the WWE and/or World Title. But if that were to happen it would be bad for business because Jericho has been treated like Mr Mid-Carder 4-Life.

Dont get me wrong, I know the point of this is to be fantasy, but just for me its hard to think along those lines.

So that said, I dont think there is a problem with Cena or Batista winning.

I can see reasons to have each guy win.

With Batista he could use the Rumble to look dominant, get his first high profile win, and get rolling towards Mania vs Hunter. However, they could just just as easily have Batista get screwed by Hunter and Flair, and set up the exact same storyline without having him win. They could even do something on RAW where they have a "RAW Rumble" and have Batista totally dominate that.

Which would lead to Cena winning. I kinda lean towards Cena winning, only because I think he's more over now, and I think he has a much better chance of still ebing over 8 months from now. With Batista I'm not totally sold that he can do business outside a program with Hunter. I just dont know if Batista is Sid or Goldberg.

Back to Cena. I think a win at the Rumble would be good because it would catapult him to the WWE title picture. He has never really mentioned the WWE title as a goal of his as he's been concentrating on the US title. By having him win the Rumble, he right in the middle of the title hunt, and they have a little over 2 months to build up a program with JBL.

In the meantime, while JBL continues to fued with Show, Cena could use Angle to get him ready for Mania. A match between the two for Cena's title shot at Mania at NWO would be great, and having Cena go over clean would give him that main event credible win that he needs before Mania.

But like I said, either guy is a good choice, for no other reason than they are the most over guys on their brand.
