Who is gonna win the 2016 Royal Rumble?

[Jmare007]

This is probably the worst Rumble/Mania lead in the past couple of years too lol. Like you finally have Roman as champ but does he stay champ and defend against Cena at Mania? What happens with Triple H? do they fight at Rumble? Does anyone really care to see Roman/Brock II or Roman/Cena, the latter would at least be something new. Sting is injured, Seth is injured, Bryan is cleared but who knows what happens, Cesaro is injured. Who does Taker wrestle that he hasn't already? If Triple H wrestles Roman before Mania, who is there for him to wrestle? If Cena does wrestle Roman, who does Brock wrestle? Not to mention they can't book a mid-card feud for shyt (see the IC Ladder match where they just threw everyone together). Honestly this could be the worst one the past three years and it's supposed to be the biggest. I agree they have booked themselves into a corner, it would be interesting to see how they get out of it. There is no MITB contract left and The Rock or Austin ain't walking through that door.

I feel like we've all been saying this since the Summer of Punk

Reigns vs Triple H
Lesnar vs Cena vs Undertaker?

It's the only way I can think of to get all five of them on the show realistically. That would probably be the worst scenario though. I think Cena vs Undertaker main events with Lesnar vs Reigns as the co-main event. Someone said Triple H vs Ambrose, thats not a bad idea. They could do Triple H vs Sheamus II but then we'll be getting a lot of re-matches.

Reigns vs Cena is the most interesting match to me and the match that I think would sell the most PPVs but I can't imagine what Brock, Undertaker, and Triple H would do in that scenario. Undertaker could face Sting if he's healthy but will he be? Brock vs Sheamus could be good but would they do it? Brock vs Del Rio? Maybe if Brock aligns with The Authority they could do Brock & Triple H vs Undertaker & Sting.

So we're ignoring the Cena/Taker option?

Because by all means, THAT's the biggest match they can put on this year. It's something that technically, hasn't been done. Sure, there was that one time in 2003 when Cena was still on the come-up, but that's like going into WM III thinking "ah, we already saw Hogan/Andre back in 1980 at Shea Stadium"... not quite then what it is now. It's gotten to a point where we've stopped expecting it to happen because they've avoided doing it for years, but it seems more likely to happen this year. To a casual fan right now, that's a match I could see them willing to drop money for, and if not for them, definitely for their kids.

There's rumors of a Goldberg/Lesnar match at Mania...

If true then that eliminates Lesnar from the list, down to Cena and Triple H...

The biggest match they can do is Bryan vs Lesnar...not two guys less over than him at the last two WMs.
