Early picks for the Royal Rumble

Yes but in the promos now they're saying "for the first time ever, every WWE superstar is eligible..."

For some reason they're specifically driving that point home.

Considering that and what Jericho said, it's possible that Punk beats Ziggler then Laurinaitis, in a last ditch effort to get the title off Punk before Raw where he may be fired, gives Jericho a title match immediately afterward. Jericho wins the title only for Punk to enter the Rumble and win that.

Someone who has gone into the Rumble as champion has never "been eligible" to compete in it.

Or Punk or Bryan just wins it flat out as champion and goes on to unify the titles.
