So who's going to win the Royal Rumble?

Ziggler would have been a decent pick otherwise, I think.

I'd really like to see somebody like Cody Rhodes win it. Del Rio would be just fine, though.

Anything's possible, but considering how poorly the guy's been handled, I don't think so. To go from Mr. Money in the Bank to World Heavyweight Champion and then upon losing the title to Rey Mysterio two or three months later, he's since floundered in the midcard, failing to capture the International title and the last memorable thing he was a part of involved a mascot.

I pose this question since I don't have access to either RAW or Smackdown except via YouTube, hence I don't know if the announcing team remind the audience: Does anyone actually remember he was at one time, a world champion or do you have moments where you read or hear something and go 'Oh shit, that's right, Swagger's a former world champion. I forgot about that', because that's something I found myself doing a few months ago as I had completely forgotten. To me, that's the sign of a poorly-booked title reign and a sign of how poorly he's been used since.

If they're going to give him another shot and say 'Hey, you should care about this guy', the Rumble might be his best bet.
