#30 should be Triple H :pac:

Id enjoy Bryan to be going strong after coming in at 8 or 9, cuts to HHH a few times looking worried. then its coming to spot 30 and its santino, Hunter tells him hes been cut and Hunter puts himself instead.

My fantasy booking is that Bryan wins the Rumble and Triple H inserts himself into the Elimination Chamber to 'help' Orton win but becomes champ in the process.

Del Rio for #5 with rest of the wheel of aggression taking up spots #6 through #10. Rumble writes itself!

Were the original Mega Powers ever 1 & 2?

Very well done.

Where was Kofi saying "I got absolutely no chance do I".

Bryan is such an "obvious" choice it may not happen.

I'd like to see CM Punk win it.

Lord TSC · 18-12-2013 07:11PM

someone from the title match: Cena or Orton

Personally, I don't think Bryan will win. I have no faith in WWE to build him up properly any more.

But I would love to see him go coast to coast. Predictable does not mean bad, and I'd personally love to see it happen.

Must say though, this is the PPV I look forward to the most, and I adore the Rumble. Easily my favorite match of the year, even in it's weaker years.

Demolition were 1 and 2 before. Fought each other and then teamed after the two minutes

A decent amount of guys in the ring before the third SHIELD member gets there. They clear house. Some chump comes in. They destroy him and get rid. Cena comes in and eliminates all three of them.

What I would enjoy is a good wyatts vs shield spot just because the crowd ate it up when they did it on raw.

Unfortunately I can see that happening. Remember when he did it with the New Nexus. They'd taken a load of guys, being led by Punk, then Cena comes in and throws them all out within the two minutes, all so they could do a bit of comedy with Cena and Hornswoggle.

18-12-2013 07:45PM

If wwe did the same thin they did last year with Bo Dallas, who from nxt would you like to see get a spot in the rumble or who do you think is most likely to get a spot?

Personally if love to see PAC get a shot, with the grounded nature of the rumble prob wouldn't be the best idea to have the man gravity forgot introduced... But if he did a big spot in the match would be a pretty memerable way to introduce a character.

Similar thing with Punk and Gallows????? eliminating loadsa people then HHH i think coming in and clearing house and eliminating punk

I think Reigns will eliminate Rollins and then Ambrose will eliminate Reigns

nazmoalex · 18-12-2013 09:58PM

That promo vid is gas!

Hahaha all I can think of is DDP's wife in 40 year old virgin!

Surprise return: Sheamus, Jericho, RVD

Undertaker to win would be a massive swerve. Would set up the main event for Wrestlemania and would be a cool way to end the streak.

CastorTroy · 18-12-2013 10:14PM

I can see the same thing happening during the rumble as happened during mania when Bryan got beat in 18 seconds, if Bryan is eliminated. Would actually be funny if Bryan wasn't 1 or 2 and instead of the fans counting down they just chanted "Yes"

This. IMO the Shield are the only thing that could make the Wyatts interesting so I'm surprised that the WWE are going to let the Shield end before doing it. Seemed like the obvious 6man tag for Mania.

Mokuba · 18-12-2013 11:28PM

Roman Reigns

Reigns will be eliminating at least 5 or 6 in my view.

Alfred Borden · 18-12-2013 11:31PM

Alberto Del Rio

Think its going to be like the year Vince won it, with it being Triple H. He probably will enter at #30 and eliminate maybe punk or bryan.

sophya · 18-12-2013 11:34PM

Alberto Del Rio

Hope that either Bryan or Punk will win. Also think that Big E Langston will have a good showing.

Re : the Shield, I'm thinking that Ambrose will turn on Rollins and Reigns because of the visual of them after the TLC match. Ambrose was laid out after the spear and the other two were talking to each other and not checking on him - Rollins was even checking on Reigns' eye. Plus they could spin it as Rollins and Reigns were tag champions together and are closer with each other than they are with Ambrose.

Who called it that Reigns would beat Kanes elimination record this year?

because I agree!

Always look forward to the Rumble.

rovert · 19-12-2013 07:13AM

Any talk of a Shield break up totally ignores the fact they have unfinished business with Undertaker and that for the past month Undertaker's name has been dropped during their matches.

I think they will have him come close for sure.

Could be wrong though and Ambrose will eliminate him after 2 minutes. :eek:

Yeah. WWE really do seem to be developing the breakup almost by the
week though.

Meltzer seems to intimate Reigns is winning the Rumble:

It’s no great revelation that Reigns is being groomed down the line for one of the top spots on the babyface side with a big push at the Rumble. That said, if anything, the plans right now are even bigger than one would have thought.

With only one World Championship it makes winning the Rumble weird from a booking stand point. As you would normally build up a new headliner by winning the Smackdown belt first and then transition him to the Raw belt but now the Smackdown belt does exist.

beakerjoe · 19-12-2013 10:16AM

Look how fast Diesel was fast tracked after the strong survivor series showing in 94. It could happen at the rumble for Roman. I do doubt it but it would be fresh. They would have to do a lot of work between now and mania and I don't have that much faith in creative.

Lord TSC · 19-12-2013 10:30AM

someone from the title match: Cena or Orton

If the plan is to win the Rumble, I'd rather they don't break The Shield up too quick. I think as a trio, a world title run for a while would be awesome, before Reigns branches off from them a bit.

A rumble win now, with a break up between then and Mania, will only see the break up feud rushed and, most likely, botched....

Rjd2 · 19-12-2013 11:13AM

Roman Reigns

Wouldn't be a massive surprise if he was to win but it does seem a little early.

Either way I'd expect a really strong showing from him.

That hint from Meltzer could just mean the lights going out and Undertaker appearing in the ring battering Reign for putting him out for a year in London. Leading to Reigns vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

The Observer also has Batista and Hogan coming back for Wrestlemania season. Batista is said to be in great shape and Big E Langston mentioned Batista as a dream opponent in a press interview this week.
