    Anybody else think Triple H will appoint himself special guest referee for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (As backup for Rollins), Cena ends up winning only to take a pedigree and Rollins ends up cashing in his MITB.

    Saw Rovert post a more realistic thing imo; Cena pins Rollins to win the title, Brock goes nuts, destroys Cena, Rollins cashes in and walks with the title.

    I don't like Taker, but imagine he won it.

    A ringful of legit possible winners, the #30 buzzer sounds and nothing happens. A minute goes by and then the lights to out. A bell tolls. The titantron shows 21-1. The crowd go ape. The lights come on and Takers in the ring, full dead man gear. He clears house and looks like a beast. He calls out Brock. They have a staredown. The lights go again and he's gone.

    I see so many different options this year!

    First off, you have Reigns who they pushed massively since his showing at the last rumble, and everyone wanted him to win when it came to the final two - for this reason, I can see him booked extremely strong again, and looking as if he'll have a similar showing to last year only to be dumped out by Ambrose shockingly as it nears the end.

    Ambrose has the crowd on his side, as well as the "oh I'm injured and not cleared to wrestle" gig that usually means he'll be down to at least the last three.

    Bryan had his WM moment already, as mentioned, but has never won the rumble and would be the most popular face in recent years most peoples favourite to win (probably?) The big match I can see for WM would be Brock v Bryan, but one can only dream...

    How long since a heel won the rumble, out of curiousity? Although it is too soon for Rusev, I thought the same of Del Rio when he won so you never know.... Cena wins the Championship at the Rumble, Rusev still undefeated in singles matches until going up against John Cena - America wins, everybodys hapoy... Right? Not my ideal outcome, but I'm sure it has been thought of.

    Batista was de facto heel last year and he won.

    Del Rio won the 40-man in 2011 as a heel.

    I think Orton won in 2009 as a heel did he? (I could google but ... effort)

    Think he was meant to come in as a face but Bryan not winning meant he had to go heel? Not 100%

    Rey Mysterio, biggest heel in 2014, booed at the rumble and booed against Bad News Barrett on the Raw after Mania!:pac:

    EVERYONE was booed when Rey Rey came out. I watched it back the other day and the crowd crapped on pretty much everyone. The crowd only started cheering Reigns when they realised the only alternative was Batista.

    Rollins getting a big pop for eliminating Rey slays me everytime :pac:

    I would like it if Rey Mysterio came out at number 30 again this year, and then they showed Daniel Bryan lying in a pool of blood and sweat in the locker room on the titantron. Just a thought.

    Of course it's the PG Era, so that pool of blood will be replaced by a pool of jelly....

    the time of the Cena Batista double elimination was that supposed to happen ? Because watching back on the network it looked as if Batista fell out of the ring as opposed to been thrown out

    It wasn't supposed to happen, Batista was to hold onto the rope but both of of them tumbled out. Vince injured both his legs making the whole thing a comedy of errors.


    Miz/Sandow vs Usos has been added to the Rumble card.

    I'd say they'll start to tease a break-up now with a view to a match at WM.

    No real surprises in the Poll so far with Reigns clearly the favourite, Bryan second by a mile and then way back everyone else like Ambrose & Wyatt. Wonder who the surprise entrant winner 7% have gone for, maybe Taker to set up the streak ending rematch.

    On WWE Superstars this week, they revealed four new participants in the Royal Rumble. Immediately after the recap of Daniel Bryan’s appearance on Raw, Tom Phillips mentioned on commentary that Bryan would join the six superstars in “tonight’s main event” in the Rumble; the six competitors were Goldust, Stardust, Justin Gabriel, Fandango, and Los Matadores.

    Goldust & Stardust had already been revealed as Rumble competitors, making Gabriel, Fandango, and Los Matadores all newly-revealed entrants.

    Fernando's year I can feel it

    so i guess they will be no Sting apperance at the rumble

    he has 6 appperances 5 left, 1 is wrestlemania so that could include 2 raw and 1 fast lane apperance

    maybe the rumble might be one of those apperances

    I am a bit behind the news so dunno if anyone posted this but I heard Bryan Alvarez hint over the weekend say
    a "legendary" tag team may make an appearance at the Rumble whilst he was talking about The Ascension. I'm guessing Demolition and/or Road Warrior Animal.

    Surprise return:
    At this time, the plan is for Bo Dallas to make his return from injury in the WWE Royal Rumble match. Dallas has been out of action since November 3rd with a foot injury.
    Meh.

    Surprise Entry
    – There are plans for Diamond Dallas Page to appear in the match as well. He would be back as a surprise name and not full time.
    Hell yeah.

    The next best thing to when WWE is great, is when it is extravagantly bad I think.

    He did for WM27, 28 & 29. He suffered a bad injury after his match with cena at wm29.

    Worried he could jeopardise his busy Hollywood schedule with injuries he cancelled his WM30 appearance and aside from his beatdown on Rusev he hasn't been seen or expected to return.

    I think its the most obvious winner in a RR match in years (Reigns), if they don't give him the win I be hugely surprised. Would love a Bryan win but they only bought him back to make sure the fans don't completely **** on the match. I think that's why they are pretty much spending more time on the Triple Threat match, cause they know half the arena will boo the crap out of the RR match.

    My only worry is what they will do with Daniel Bryan during the RR match and on the road to WM 31, I just see him been put into a crappy mid card feud with Sheamus or something. But hopefully I be proved wrong, the only reason I watch the show is for American Dragon.
