I really, REALLY like that there's not a clear winner this year. I don't believe Brock or Goldberg win (I think they go against each other). Taker wouldn't surprise me, as he could go against either Reigns, Cena or Styles (depending on those title matches). Jericho could be a possible pay off to his story with KO. I don't think Braun wins; my gut tells me him and Reigns eliminate each other and go into a feud for the US title. Outsiders but with a slim chance...a win would fit Miz's "I'll show you how good I am" character direction. Ziggler as a heel could. Big E winning could let them move New Day into the world title picture, which actually could be interesting. Finn return. I don't see a debut, like Joe, winning but my God would it be a great introduction. Bray or Orton, possibly, but see it more likely they get caught in some shenanigans together. I presume we could get a set up for Big Show vs Shaq as well; if they repeat Shaw's entry and repeat him eliminating Show, it could be the driving point for any match between the two. I'd kill for someone to use Cult of Personality to come out :P Plus we can have the annual Kurt Angle rumours. And Tye Dillinger in at #10.

AJ will carry him to a good match at the very least and The Miz has improved enough to in-ring wise to hold his own to a degree. Character wise he's looked strong and booked to his strengths. AJ could easily turn after beating Cena after a long match (showing mutual respect after the match is over) and would be the perfect face to take on The ever rising Miz.

I remeber only one person picked Edge while the rest mainly picked Shawn Michaels in a prediction league for that Royal Rumble.

LeeJM wrote: » Why would a title win for Cena and a Strowman Rumble win cause a backlash? Cena is one of the best characters and best wrestlers in the world. He cut one of the best promos this decade last week. He has a purpose to reclaim the WWE Title and tie the record for most title wins ever. And Strowman is one of the best booked destroyers since Goldberg in WCW circa 1998. Yes in ring he isnt gonna deliver a ****** match like some of Meltzers favourites but so what. Havnt people being complaining for years about no new stars and yet when a young new guy is pushed and booked superbly to the point that he is a viable Royal Rumble winner within 18 months of his main roster debut, all of a sudden you wanna boycott the Network? Or its Vince pushing a muscle guy.....Jesus WWE cant win with some people
SureYWouldntYa wrote: » I never said it was bad, just that it was Vince's wet dream But I wouldn't be as averse to a Cena win as I would a Reigns win since odds are a Cena win leads to him v Taker, who wouldn't want to see that Bit of hyperbole to compare Strowman to Goldberg just yet, it's closer to Great Khali of 06/07 than Goldberg. It's not some mighty push at Goldberg's level he's beaten a heap of jobbers, beat up Sami Zayn but couldn't beat him in 10 minutes, and has the countout matches with Reigns and Rollins
LeeJM wrote: » So the term Vinces wet dream was meant as good thing? To be honest a Cena title win and a Reigns title win mean little until the Rumble match happens and we get an idea for the direction they may be going. I really believe they have changed plans recently and that things may be getting a bit of shake up. The only match set in stone IMO is Rollins vs HHH. Re Strowmans push it has been the most consistent since the initial Goldberg push. By this stage Khali was jobbing to Taker, Ryback once beaten quickly became a loser. Strowman on the other hand while having a really good feud with Zayn has maintained his killer aura. He comes across as dangerous and credible and is the best thing on Raw right now.
