who the hell is going to win the Rumble? - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I'd bet against it. I don't think WWE even knows yet with 3.5 weeks until the event. I highly doubt that they know what the title matches are going to be at Mania atm.

The plan would be for Cena to beat Styles then Taker to win the rumble and have Cena/Taker for the belt.

Of course that would be so awful I think that it's just WWE pushing out fake rumours.

Who wins?

Seriously though I'm totally on board with Miz winning.

With two belts now, they definitely have the creative freedom to have someone weird win and have that match be the non-main event.

Goldberg.

Completely serious.

Don't get me wrong, I will HATE it.

I'm going to predict Balor returns and wins.

I think we are in for a disappointing rumble. There is no doubt Goldberg/Lesnar eliminate 27 men between the two of them. They won't touch each other, just eliminate everyone else. There will then be a double elimination. The ring will be empty before number 30. Number 30 will win by default.

Has someone ever lost the championship and won the rumble in the same night? Might be a cool thing to do with AJ.

I just don't see how they can put those two guys in the rumble without them instantly eliminating each other or going with the other extreme. I really hate the trend of having someone eliminate 10+ others each year, but with these two, the sky is the limit!

With Vince pulling out all the firepower for Raw this week, it almost seems like he's concerned his own show is beating him? For that reason, I think there will be show of strength for Raw at the Rumble where they have their top person win.

Stephanie McMahon is going to win the Royal Rumble.

I'm guessing Owens/Jericho happens at Mania, but isn't for the belt.

Reigns pins Owens at the Rumble and then defends at Mania against the Royal Rumble champ -- Braun Strowman.

They've got nine goddamn belts right now.

Can't have too many non-title matches at Mania. Either that or some belts don't get defended.

I already used this one last year (two years ago?). #30 was Jericho in the light up jacket in my fantasy.

though, zomg, it would work great this year, if Owens' music hits and then he's laid out backstage by Jericho... one time?
