If they really want to stretch out the feud, HBK winning his 3rd Rumble and then winning the belt in Texas is pretty likely/would rule.

If not, then it'll probably be Cena, chasing a heel Batista.

Orton is another guy who springs up as a possibility, he could win the match with help from the stable (which he is obviously going to wind up being the leader of). But I have my doubts that there will ever be another heel Rumble winner again.

Yeah WWE puts way too much stock in 'Face Rumble winner chasing the title into Mania'

Its kinda annoying and old, considering when you look past the list of recent face wins.

2001 - Austin

2000 - The Rock

1999 - Vince McMahon


Thats right guys, the last heel winner of the rumble will be 10 years ago this Rumble.

Technically, Batista was a heel when he won it.

If they're going to have Austin wrestle at WrestleMania, they could bump buyrates for the Rumble by putting him in the match, without really giving away his comeback match as he'd be protected by the Rumble format, give him a chance to shake off some rust without really having to take any bumps. If Austin was somehow forced into the Rumble, with the story that he didn't really want in but when he's out there, his competitive instinct takes over and he gets the urge to win in his blood, and somehow wins it... they'd then have the Rocky story of the retired wrestler having one last title shot at the biggest show of all time.

I'm not saying Austin deserves main event at Mania over the guys who work all year round, but it's the perfect kind of story that WWE likes to build Mania around... can the knackered old Legend defeat the odds and win the title in his first match in 6 years?

I'd buy it.

But then, I'm just a big Austin mark.

I'd say Edge or Jeff have the biggest chance of winning the Rumble. I can't see Cena being very likely, though unfortunately Batista might be.

This would be a great way to bring Austin back. Chris Jericho or John Cena vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin for the World Heavyweight Championship would be pretty intense stuff. Many say that Austin's in good shape now, and could probably work a few matches, so putting him in the Rumble and then working WrestleMania isn't entirely out of the question.

Technically, yes. But he was blatently on the turn, so he was a tweener at that point at least.

Jeff Hardy winning the Rumble, Edge win the WWE title at No Way Out, Jeff Hardy vs Edge at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.

Batista wins the World title at No Way Out after John Cena won the Number 1 contender spot earlier in the night, giving us Cena vs Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship.

As far as ECW goes, anything could have happened by then, so I'll say Matt Hardy vs MVP (with Matt defending) for the ECW Championship.

I would be quite surprised if HHH is not in the main event at Wrestlemania 25. Then again, HHH/Taker at Wrestlemania 25 would be pretty good, and if booked right (sort of like HBK/Taker in 97) could be pretty good. As in, to HHH, ending Taker's streak means more than winning a belt that he has held 12 times.

A-fucking-men.

I'd love to see an angle where someone like Brian Kendrick wins it, and then the next night on RAW, the main eventers are all out talking about how they intend to be the one who challenges for the World Title at WrestleMania, which brings out the mid-carder in a swank suit (possibly with a woman in tow), and they show no fear and proceed to make the point that they won the fucking Rumble, and they're not going to lose their shot.

But anyway, after No Mercy, I am definitely thinking that the World Title matches at WrestleMania will be Batista vs. John Cena, Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy and maybe something like Matt Hardy vs. Edge.
