So who's going to win the Royal Rumble?
Alberto Del Rio? John Morrison? Those are my two favorites, I think. I also think Punk will have something to do with Cena being eliminated.

Ziggie's in the title match. No Rumble for him.

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. |

If a Raw guy wins, it's Morrison. If a SD guy wins, it's Del Rio. Dark horse pick has to be Sheamus.

I still think Sheamus will be working with Triple H at Wrestlemania, and I doubt it'll be a title program unless Triple H returns and wins an Elimination Chamber or something stupid.

I'm not counting out Big Show winning it. This is the most over he's ever been and I dunno if Del Rio and Morrison are quite there yet.

What if there was some shocking winner like Chris Masters or somebody, but instead of going for a major title, he used his shot for the Intercontinental title? How angry would you be on a scale of one to ten?

Probably around a 7. This is technically possible.

I dunno. I like the Royal Rumble more than WrestleMania so to increase my enjoyment of the Rumble by doing something shocking while decreasing my enjoyment of WrestleMania, I guess I would be fine with it.

It might not even ruin Wrestlemania. You'd still have your other title matches, but people would have to earn them some other way. It would just put an Intercontinental title match on the card.
Why am I still talking about this? |

Is Cena even going to be in the Rumble? If not then Punk seems a lot more likely.

I feel like I remember him saying something about wanting the win the Rumble on Raw like three weeks ago. Maybe Punk can screw him out of a qualifying match and go on to win it himself.

Orton's not in the Rumble match if he's got the title shot at the Rumble, is he?

In a TITLE match, though? Everybody in that Rumble is competing for the same thing that the contenders in the title match already have that very night. The only difference is what show it would happen on.

I don't remember anyone pulling double duty after a world title match. IC title match guys have been in the Rumble but that doesn't count.

The closest was Chavo after defending his ECW heavyweight title. It still doesn't count.

And for everybody's information, Kurt Angle lost a triple threat WWE title match in 2005, then entered the Rumble after stealing Nunzio's number.

I honestly can't see it being anyone other than Cena or Punk, and whichever of those doesn't win the Rumble will win the title at Elimination Chamber, and the Rumble winner will then announce that they are facing their nemesis at Mania.
I definitely think Cena/Punk will last until Mania, but unless he's fighting the Undertaker I don't think Cena is ever going to not be in a Mania title match. Couple that with the fact that I think Lawler is gonna get his Mania match this year and the only logical guy for him to fight is The Miz, so they'll have to get the belt off of him in February. |

Actually seems likely that Vickie would put Ziggler in the Rumble after he loses his match.
