Actual Winner: Yes! Yes! Yes!, motherf*ckin YES! the cword will sh!t on virtually anyone else

Want this.

and the rumble should be the main event not Cena vs Orton (especially if heel Orton wins)

Expect this with Cena clearning house as entry 30

But Wrestlemania is the pinnacle of all his year's work. This is what has all supposedly been building towards. I will very much resent Batista if he does win the Rumble now and gos onto Mania and I think that will be common enough. Bryan deserves it. Batista does not.

Batista drew the highest rating in the last two years on Monday. That's why he deserves it in the eyes of WWE. Ratings = more money.

Bryan kinda confirmed his entrance into the royal rumble in a recent interview.

"As of now, I'm not in the 30-man Royal Rumble match, I'm trying to get involved in it. (WWE) COO Triple H doesn't want me anywhere in the Royal Rumble match," explained Bryan.

Bring back someone else who used to be something and you'll get the same too. I'm sure the Rock's first return would have been much higher, so would Hogan and Austin. His return was crap and therefore the novelty will wear off super fast.

I think there is a definite possibility that Punk could win it to further his anti-authority storyline.

But there is a much bigger chance that he'll be eliminated to further it and Batista will win instead.

Ideal scenario, number 30. Daniel Bryan. Winner alright.

If Bryan is in, I'd rather he show up with an earlier number (#2 maybe?

). Give #30 to Korporate Kane or summat. Be great if it came down to Punk and Bryan.

Come on, WWE, there's still time to give Bryan the win and put the belt(s) on Triple H for a month at Elimination Chamber. Have Orton RKO Batista out of the Rumble as an act of self preservation...

1am. Other than DST and Wrestlemania, it's always 1am.

CM Punk pouring a drink on the curb for the other 29 superstars is a great touch:

If you're hoping to see Wade Barrett in the Rumble, then I'm afraid I got some bad news for you

As mentioned already, Kane is in line to overtake HBK's record for most eliminations. Personally I'd rather so the old school Kane gimmick break the record. Not sure if this has been suggested already but I'd love to see Kane (in his current persona) come out and clean house, getting the record plugged by the commentators etc and then just as he's about to break the record he gets thrown over the top rope leading to a fued between that superstar and Kane/Authority into EC and WM.

Isnt he only two behind or something? Would hardly be cleaning house if he can only eliminate one first.

Personally, I wouldnt waste a spot on Kane. He hasnt wrestled in months.

2nd Row Donkey · 25-01-2014 11:20PM

Only two required? Well that puts a swift end to that idea then!

Dolph Ziggler said on Twitter that he’s been at the gym working out, which suggests that he’s been cleared for physical exertion following his recent concussion.

– Chris Jericho, notorious for teasing his fans about rumored WWE returns, has dropped a hint about an appearance at the Royal Rumble. He wrote on Twitter:

Headed to Pittsburgh to rock the World Of Wheels at Lawrence Convention Center TODAY from 12-3pm! Let's get ready to rumble Jerichoholics!

I think that would be the considerate thing to do. Honestly wouldn't expect mod action taken against someone who didn't especially as you say seing as it has spoilers in the title but yeah id say most would come into a PPV thread before it starts not expecting spoilers and would at least like the option to decide if they want to know that or not hense the spoiler tags would be appreciated... good shout rovert

rovert · 26-01-2014 02:12AM

I ask this because:

Take this for whatever it's worth but the newly black dyed hair Kevin Nash is staying at the WWE hotel for the Royal Rumble in Pittsburgh, PA. Nash checked in there tonight.

I hope he doesn't get another text message from Hunter.

Seriously BH there's different tiers of spoiler I feel. The reddit/Dolphin guy for example too. Not suggesting separate threads but rules of engagement CLEARLY STATED I think are needed for both our casual fan friends and the hardcores.

maybe I worded it weirdly or you thought I was being sarcastic or something but I honestly agreed with you... nobody will go back and check the OP so i know thats a waste of time but ill see if something can fit in the thread title if you want it clearly states, otherwise our posts here on the subject are as clealy stated as itl get im afraid.

According to Wiki, 1 will tie it, 2 will give him the record.

Can we expect

Sheamus

to be in tonight's Rumble then?

MitchKoobski · 26-01-2014 02:27PM

Any chance of an NXT entrant this year? Even after no one gave a **** about Bo Dallas.

Wouldn't mind seeing Tyler Breeze or Sami Zayn make an appearance.

I've tried to get through to a human in UPC today to order the ppv but having no luck. Anyone know how? I'm surprised it can't be ordered online at this stage.

Andersonisgod · 26-01-2014 03:23PM

After much consideration and going back and forward on it, I've ordered the event. I'm cautiously optimistic of a good show.

chopperbyrne · 26-01-2014 03:36PM

How much does this cost on sky and do you need your sky box hooked up to the phone to order it through the guide?

It's a pain in the arse alright, your best bet is to contact the technical department (the only one open on a Sunday) and they will sort it for you!

Deadlie · 26-01-2014 05:14PM

I only use the telly for th Xbox, never watch anything on cable, use the internet to catch the lot - is there anyway for me to order it, or am I streaming from the Internet's dark alleys?

artvandulet · 26-01-2014 05:48PM

Roman Reigns

I got through to UPC by reporting a fault. The fault being that there was no way to order the ppv any other way!

Diabhal Beag · 26-01-2014 05:52PM

Anybody else up at 6 tomorrow and wondering is it worth the sleep after?
