    I really think Ziggler has a great chance of winning, after the events of Raw. Can see him entering late...he'll def be in the last 2 anyway

    There is no one winning other than Reigns.

    Don't scoff at this one as their WWE Main Event match last week ruled:

    The idea of the wwe hyping the rumble is to make others look like credible threats.

    It's just like last year when bryan broke free of Wyatt and was over more than anyone and lots of people here were picking him to win the rumble, I stuck to my guns and kept saying Batistia was winning.

    Again Reigns will win. It's almost a guarantee. Especially as Smackdown this week
    ends with Reigns making the save for Bryan

    Cena 10/3

    What are the terms and conditions? Is that at the close of the Ppv? Or theend of the triple threat match?

    113 per cent book for 3 runners. Thieves.

    Clowns of the highest order, I'l wait until a proper bookie (an English one) prices it before having a bet.

    Reigns at 1.72 is free money. Batistia made me a nice bit last year too. Time to lump on Reigns.

    I wouldn't have thought that was a particularly high over round considering most bookies go about 9% for a three horse race and this is a predetermined event. Don't think you can expect much better from any other book either.

    Edit: I also think 11-12% is common for a 1x2 football market.

    If a "Miz gets eliminated so Mizdow eliminates himself" spot doesn't happen then this Rumble will be a failure :pac:

    A month ago I would have said Reigns for sure but I think his weak promos have hurt his stock just enough to make WWE reconsider. Daniel Bryan was the guy everyone wanted to win it last year, and with the story of him returning from injury, as was the story of Austin's win in '01, and HHH's win in '02, I can see Bryan winning it this year.

    My feeling is Bryan, Ambrose, Reigns and Wyatt will be the final four. Bryan will eliminate Wyatt, Ambrose will sneakily eliminate Reigns (revenge for last year), and it will be Bryan and Ambrose facing off as the final two with Bryan ultimately sending Ambrose over.

    In the title match, I think people are forgetting Orton. This is surely set up for Orton to return and get his revenge on Rollins (I know he returned after a Raw ended but that doesn't count storyline-wise). I think Orton will cost Rollins the title, and maybe even his cash-in attempt, and I see Lesnar leaving with the gold.

    I think the Mania line-up will be:

    Lesnar (c) vs Bryan

    Reigns vs Ambrose (who will turn heel)

    Rollins vs Orton

    As for Cena, I think he may be the one to end the Rusev streak.

    I look forward to seeing how wildly wrong this was!

    I wasn't forgetting the thing you mention for the title math, just didn't want to bring it up in case anyone hadn't considered it!

    Looks like a dangerous drinking game.

    Since we have Rose, Cesaro and Kidd against New Day in the preshow, does that mean they won't be in the Rumble?

    Cena now 17/10 on PP. Normally they've been known to drop or increase prices dramatically once they *cough* find out the results in advance *cough*. Daniel Bryan also now 7/4, RR is 4/9.

    Is a cash-in on the cards? Possibly, given that Lesnar and Reigns were overwhelming favourites just yesterday. Could all still change though.

    Lads for the title fight if your betting on the out come do they pay out on the 1st result?
    I.e if cena beats Brock Is that the result EVEN if Rollins cashes in afterwards?

    I'd imagine so. If a cash-in happens, that would technically count as a separate match.

    Any chance a bookie would give you odds on rollins winning the belt by cash in?

    I can see Bryan being given longest time in the Rumble but Reigns winning. Unless they don't think he's fit enough yet.

    I wonder how fit Bryan is. I don't expect him to enter early. I could Imagine Ziggler and Harper to start 1 & 2 perhaps.

    Say it every year but I'd like the winner to come from numbers 11 to 20. It's almost always from the first or last ten entrants. :(

    Odds are like 50/1 for those numbers to win on PP

    New Day will definitely be in the Rumble. You can't have a rumble without Kofi Kingston
