Royal Rumble 2011

**Damian Rey** · 11-12-2010, 07:27 PM

I was thinking about who could possibly be getting set up to win the upcoming Rumble, and thought to myself that it has been a long while since WWE used the Rumble as a way to catapult a mid carder into the mai event. I think the last guy to win the Rumble that hadn't had a world title or been a main eventer prior to winning the Rumble was Mysterio in 2006.

Since then, we've had Taker, Cena, Orton and Edge pick up Rumble wins. I'm curious to see who, if anyone on either rosters, could you see winning the Rumble match and hasn't been a main eventer prior to winning.

On Raw, the two guys I see having a remote chance are Wade Barrett and John Morrison. Barret for obvious reasons, though he may win the title as soon as Survivor Series. Morrison was in the WHC Elimination Chamber main event this past year, and seems to finally be picking up steam with his Sheamus feud that
s developing.

On SmackDown!, the only semi believeable choice to me would be Alberto Del Rio. They've built him up to be an upper mid carder since his debut, and he's gotten over rather quickly. Also has the look of a main eventer to go with the ring work and mic skills.

Thoughts?
