Looks like a good card, honestly. Been a good while since there was a particularly good Rumble, but surely we haven't seen the last one ever. Right?

Edge in 2010 was the last pleasant surprise winner for me. Blows my mind how it's not used for a babyface to win and chase the title every year.

Elias or bust. Hopefully he at least gets a deep run.

The Elias/John Cena story ongoing is really interesting to me as it's officially Mania season and you would certainly think someone like Cena would begin having a WM feud shape up right about now.

I would think its definitive either Cena eliminates Elias or vice versa in this rumble, based on recent events, but how that plays into WM i can't figure out.

Let us thy rumble! In for a surprise Elias or Nakamura win for something different at least. Please no Reigns again.

Reigns wins followed by all the other Superstars lining up to raise his arm and take a spear

And as the crowd boos lustily, we are interrupted by the opening bars of Cult of Personality, at which point CM Punk emerges from the back, marches to the ring, and asks Roman if he can wear his vest.

I'm in, even though I hate their stupid "more is more" philosophy with the big shows.

Who wants a 4 hour show?

Women's rumble match should successfully suck the life out of the building.

I'm good with four-hour WrestleManias if they actually kept it to four hours (which unfortunately they don't), but it should be just that one show per year. The other majors should be three, and the minor branded PPVs should be two.

Predictions from people on the Rumble match?

I'm (sadly) predicting that Reigns wins. I don't care that they're back in Philly or that SD! could win the match and Reigns could get to Lesnar in a different fashion. Reigns is winning!

Disclaimer: I haven't looked at odds.

Nakamura or sadly Orton are really the only other ones that might be a possibility.

Who I think: Cena

Worth noting, it seems likely the winner of the women's rumble will have some bearing on the men's match IRT Nakamura winning.

Hard to fathom (racist?) Vince McMahon having the RR being won by 2 non American's. If Asuka wins, Nak is a huge longshot imo.

Have they ever done the champ loses earlier in the show, and then wins the rumble? I could see that being a possibility with both AJ and Brock.

Brock winning the rumble is about the worst plausible result I can think of.

So is WWE employing these podcasters now because they think it's a cool thing and will help them keep their finger on the pulse of the universe better?

Or because now that we own these guys, we can shape their opinions and they can't really speak negatively about the creative direction anymore?
