I guess it's cool because it makes the rumble less predictable but it also cheapens it a little because the winner ends up just going after a lesser title.
I agree with this. Maybe I'm old fashioned this way, but I really enjoy the idea of the Royal Rumble Winner's title shot being the story for WrestleMania. The first year it wasn't was Rey Mysterio's win in 2006, which I felt was a mistake at the time. Personally, I think they should have gone with Chris Benoit as the Royal Rumble Winner, and for Angle vs. Benoit to headline WrestleMania 22, but even if they did stick with Rey as the choice for winner, I absolutely disagreed with the idea to put Orton in there with him and Angle. In the past, Angle and Rey had worked some magic matches against each other. Cena and Triple H didn't need to close the show. Triple H could have tapped out near the top of the card and Rey beating Angle in a classic could have closed it.

Since 2006, only Randy Orton in 2009 has closed out a Mania with the Rumble title shot. I would like to see that change, and for the Rumble Winner to start being the guy to get the title shot at WrestleMania again. If they do Rock vs. Cena II, for example, I absolutely think they should give Cena his second Rumble to set up the match. The secondary title challenger gets the secondary title build.

It's seemed backwards for quite a few years now.

If they do wanna go Rock vs Cena II, I think it would tell a good story too for Cena to have to beat 29 other men and work his ass off and give everything he's got just to redeem himself against The Rock and take the WWE Title back.
