So who wins the Rumble?
- Thread starter Tres Leches
- Start date
Big E Langston, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Kofi(who just beat the champ clean) are all midcarders who could be booked to win and instantly become more credible. Im not saying have Darren Young shock the world and win the Rumble
That crowd would turn on that match or either be totally dead if those guys were in the main event of WM XXX....i would feel sorry as fukk for whatever money anyone paid for the front row.
Leonard Washington
Superstar
couldnt be any worse than taking a chance on Alberto Dorito. And they wouldnt have to put them on last

Smooth sailing from here on out...
Honestly Bryan only has 3 possible matches at Mania that make sense & would matter on the card. He wins the Rumble & gets the title shot, he faces HBK, or he faces Taker.
The Taker match would be the most random one & he would have to be who Bray was calling the devil, but I don't know if the E would bother trying to turn Taker heel for his one match a year.
Alberto Del Rio got a shot but that's just a opening match with Edge being marketed as the main event. There is only one champion now and Blandy is way too boring and lackluster in trying to carrying anyone or being the stand out star...it would lead to Boring chants. And I think once those Taker and Bryan matches are wrapped up, it may come to that anyway.
Sheamus better not come back in the royal rumble, else I want the entire WWE roster to go Wcthesecret on him 
Triple H's bodybuilding, brutus beefcaking friend.

Actually he has the most options
You could have Bryan try to stop the streak
maybe face Micahels
do the Cena rematch that everyone seems to want these days...
be the TRUE ultimate underdog if Lesnar wins the belt in Feb
Bryan ain't goin' against no Taker at Mania, stop bein' silly y'all 
Batista with the comeback and Rumble win? Eh, prob not but he'll be the last one eliminated. By Bryan.
Reigns is gonna shine all up n thru the Rumble. But no win... just more seeds planted for the Shield split, which will likely culminate at Mania.
Punk will prob. do a lot but it's pretty clear HHH is his Mania feud, so some fukkery will happen to take him out.
If Sheamus returns, final four at best. No win for him.
And Brock's pretty much due to take that title next month.
Bryan vs Brock wouldn't be bad for Mania
I do like the fact that there's no clear winner this year... whoever wins won't really be a "surprise" per se, but we're two weeks away and still don't know for sure who's gettin' it.

They're not doing Bryan/Cena at Summerslam unless it's a Triple Threat with Punk or Batista since he's back for 2 years.

it really doesnt matter for most of the top guys who wont win it, because they'll be in the Elimination Chamber next...i just wonder who they settle with for that...

Holy shyt, completely forgot about Sheamus 
For his sake I hope they don't bring him back before Wrestlemania. There's already too many guys fighting for the top 4 matches and he doesn't really fit in any of them. He's just gonna get lost in the shuffle. They should wait till after the part timers leave to give him a feud. I actually wouldn't mind a Fella vs Bautista program
PS: People need to stop putting Brock as a favorite. He's not even gonna be in the Rumble match...

If he wins, I wouldn't expect the 'E to do the proper job in building him up as a credible threat. So what if he beat Orton this time, Kofi has historically been a tougher than expected match-up for Orton, back when we all thought that Kofi was gonna jump to that next level. And nothing came of it.
WWE has plenty of people they could give the Rumble win to ala Shawn Michaels in 1995, but I don't trust them to actually make them into a new star long term. And this is something I'd hope to be wrong about.
Why do people think Dave has such a great chance of winning? I know he's coming back and all but he and Brock Lesnar can't get this belt before D-Bry. It's always easy to have some kind of fukkery go down with an elimination. I can see him and Reigns having a show down and the Shield helping elimante Batista then one of them throwing out Reigns. They can make people look strong just by the way they eliminate them like CM Punk's promo Rumble before Trips brought them shovels.
With Elimination Chamber they could easily get Daniel Bryan in the main event at Mania but I think the title is going to be defended in EC so winner of the Rumble will be #1 contender. I just can't see them delaying the momentum Bryan has any longer.

You really believe that huh
