    I think if Sting is facing Triple H at WrestleMania, there should be no one else involved. Sting should come to the ring unaccompanied, and Triple H should have no one with him either, really. Dolph Ziggler vs. Wade Barrett should have been happening tonight at this event I feel.

    This is the important part; doesn't matter how few or many are in it if the booking in the weeks before hand sucks. I enjoy more people since that gives the chance for more surprise entrants, but if everyone goes in knowing Reigns is winning, then it doesn't matter if he goes through 19, 29 or 39 other people....

    Depresses me that nothing has changed in three months; they've made zero effort to build anyone up but Reigns, and even he's been lackluster.

    I stand by an earlier prediction; Bryan and Reigns will be the final two, with Reigns throwing Bryan out for the win, and then Vince not understanding why everyone will turn on Reigns...

    ...especially after Bryan gets back in the ring and shakes reigns hand, cause that will mean we have to like him

    Sting is 55 now, not particularly good in the ring so its not a singles match i would be hyped for.

    I would prefer to see a singles match. There's enough devices and gimmicks that he could use.

    Yeap, was going to say that too but found the thought too depressing. They will nearly definitely try and get Bryan to pass on some of his overness like that. Also fully expect multiple beat downs on Bryan with multiple saves from Reigns over the coming weeks.

    Would not be surprised if Mr Ziggles is no.1 nor if he lasts longer than anyone else in the rumble

    then just like his "push" at survivor series he doesent enter a big storyline after (cos I don't see him having a big Mania match, though maybe he will be involved in Stings feud for the weeks when senor vigilante does not show.

    It would be so much more beneficial if Ziggler faced Triple H than Sting in my opinion

    Perhaps a 6 man tag match with Ryback involved too? Big Show and Kane on Trips team?

    Recovering apparently but he might be around soon.... Epic Mad Man Manson chops on him now too. He was on the WWE Youtube doing an injury update last week.

    Would love Sheamus to return and replace Corporate Kane in the Authority. Become a dangerous ass kicking heel again. If he costs Bryan the Rumble tonight, serious heel heat right there

    Sweet Jesus no. Keep those 3 as far away from any decent storylines as they can for wm31.

    If they have to be there I hope its Big show and kane against ryback and rowan on the pre show. Then I can skip it

    If it does come down to Reigns and Bryan in the end , I hope they go for around ten minutes and let Reigns really earn the win

    The odds on The Rock went from 100/1 to 12/1 and they're now sitting at 4/1.
    Is that price determined on how many people are betting on it or how is it judged?

    I don't think he will either, but just curious about the odds. Like you say, if he does anything, he'll just give Reigns a rub.

    I can honestly see The Rock being in The Rumble then Rusev dumps him out after 10 minutes. Then we get Rusev vs The Rock at WM 31. Would be awesome.

    I'm nearly sure that I saw an interview with the Rock about 2 years ago talking about fighting Roman at 31.

    Working tomorrow myself so it will be a case of covering my eyes and ears until I get to see the rumble tomorrow evening.

    His odds are shortening at a crazy rate, 7/1 into 9/2 on William Hill in the past half hour
