    May be early but can we put the usual no betting talk post here please?

    I think Charlotte will be teased as the winner but will either be Last eliminated or eliminated not long after entering.

    I'll make a really risky prediction that someone will be knocked to the outside and stay out for a long time

    Imagine if Lana and Bobby Lashley won the rumbles although MVP and Hurt Business have made Bobby relevant again

    Big E and AJ as last 2 would be great for me. Two new possible winners.

    Omos to get involved in last 6. On the apron Big R spears him to floor, going out second rope. AJ to eventuslly think he last man standing. Big E to get back in and throw AJ out.

    Would give heel AJ sonethimg to gripe about and a storyline leading uo to mania.

    Thats my fantasy booking anyway

    Very possible

    Other possibilities i think
    Seth Rollins returns as a face and wins it. Seth vs Roman at mania

    Edge returns and wins. Edge vs Drew or Roman

    Braun Strowman returns and wins. Braun vs Roman

    Very open rumble match this year, looking forward to it

    It's just a shame that it's lost its buzz, surprise entrants, wrestler debuts etc it's just stale now

    Won't be the same without the live crowd. I doubt we will see any major debuts or surprise returns this year

    Most possible in the women's rumble imo could be
    the return of Ronda and maybe a legend appearance by Lita or Trish

    Mens surprise might be
    Edge returning again. Nothing going about WWE signing that Jay White guy or as talked about every rumble the CM Punk in ring return

    Has Tessa Blanchard signed with WWE, could she be the surprise women's entrant?

    I'm think Lacey and Ric will cost Charlotte continuing their feud, Lana to return to cost Nia so maybe the on fire Bliss to win the women's rumble :p

    Have 9 competitors from Smackdown Raw and NXT each. Each brand gets ones supriseentrant to represent their brand. Both female and male rosters.

    Brand v brand Survivor series victories determines placing in the Rumble. Winner gets preferential numbers.

    Entrants have to qualify, none of this declaring stuff.

    That gives atleast 9 matches between 18 wrestlers on shows leading up. Gives show a direct purpose, helps with fueds before and after. Imagine if Orton was knocked out by Humberto and didnt qualify for the rumble. There is a story right there.

    Orton could then get in as another brands wildcard.

    Winner can decide which title he wants to go for in the end, of he chooses a different brand then the one he represents, the brand he is leaving gets a draft pick.

    Everyone gets a purpose, a sporting dynamic os created where wins and losses count.

    Haven't heard much on tessa actually, Taya Valkyrie is officially done with impact also

    Can't see Jay White going to wwe, I think they'd save his debut for fans if he did to get that mark out moment

    Rhea doesn't need this, she's already gonna be a star. Give it to someone else, a surprise winner.
