So many ways to go here. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Brock Lesnar won the Royal Rumble or he interferes for Punk.

I'd like to share a video of the most painful elimination that has yet to be beaten: Snitsky eliminates Paul London

Ya I think/hope Lesnar interferes in the Rock vs. Punk match. The Rock has been really mocking
Paul Heyman in his promos and McMahon didn't say anything about Brock interfering in his match
just the Shield. The Rock and Brock are featured on the WM poster. So a lot of things add up
except would the WWE put Brock on a PPV without promoting him?

My favorite Rumbles are 1992 & 2002 & 2007

I think Cena will win the Rumble and Rock will beat Punk setting up Rock/Cena II at WM for the title.

This has been one the worst builds to the Rumble match itself in many years. Its been a couple of Cena promos, one of which was god-awful, and that's been it. Nobody seems to be getting a consistent push, other than mid-carders like Barrett and Cesaro and while its great that they're pushing them winning the Rumble seems a little out of there weight class.

Cena, Ziggler, Sheamus, Orton, Ryback those guys seem like they should be the favorites in this match but none of those guys are getting a consistent push going into this match. This would actually be the perfect situation for a returning guy to win it. Lesnar or Taker would seem like the most logical choices if they go that route.

I would say Ryback, but The Shield won't let that happen lol. Going and hoping with The Show Off.

How about Ziggler wins the Rumble challenges Del Rio at WM has a long brutal match with him
but loses then Big E. Langston lays out Del Rio after the match and Ziggler cashes in the MITB
to win the tittle?

I'll guess that Cena or Big Show win it this year.

I'm not sure which is my favorite of all time though, I was just watching the 2003 Rumble again yesterday and that wasn't too bad.

It's been too long for WWE with Cena without the Title, I'm guessing he's winning the Rumble and taking the belt at WM off Rock. Which likely means Rock is winning it as well. I think it's the wrong direction but it is what it is.

That does make sense I didn't think of it that way but I just figure they will take the chance to push someone new or Cena back into the title scene.

This but it kind of seems too obvious and they have gone the surprise route the last few years but maybe it just is what it is.

I think Orton wins the Rumble. I just have a feeling and think he's been slumming on the mid-cards a bit too long now.

I think it is going to be either Cena, Orton, Sheamus, or Ryback to win the Rumble, and my wildcard which I doubt it but my wildcard pick is Dolph Ziggler.

sportsinteraction.com is now allowing you to bet on WWE events lol.

So if you're feeling strong about someone winning, might be an idea.

This site is taking bets too. I've been following it this week. I think Team Hell No is worth putting some money on.
