Royal Rumble Discussion Thread

I know its early, but the Rumble will set the stage for Wrestlemania and it is on deck. Here is a place for discussions, thoughts, and predictions.

your winner of the 2014 royal rumble:

I don't know which one it is going to be, but it is going to be one of these two "best in the world"s

Roman Reigns isn't going to win the Royal Rumble, Indy.

Maybe in 2015...

I'll go with D-Bry.

My heart says Bryan, but my bitter, cynical brain is with Swarley on the Cena pick.

HHH and the "Best for business" crew should have their hands all over the Rumble and #of participants. My dream Rumble

#1 should be Daniel Bryan
#2 CM Punk
#3 Ziggler (a pipe dream)
(all three men last with great spots and even some Bryan and Punk cooperation (Ziggler is a pipe dreram here but its my dream!) until)
#27 John Cena

HHH sends in the next participant

#28... 'Santa Hopscotch Igloo Eskimo Llama Dingo"
The Shield comes in at 28-30 as a unit

Some dissention in the Shield, but they work together enough to send out Cena (triple powerbomb while others are tired and off to the side or something, then they fight each other)

Until the last men are Punk, Bryan, Reigns

Team Work eliminates Reigns, working together

10+ minutes of just Punk vs Bryan

Eventually the winner is Daniel Bryan after several finishers between each Best in the World

Hey, I can dream!

I tend to think Cena is going to take part in some sort of super-match, likely with Taker. He might also be asked to keep Hogan alive for one more match.

I kind of buy the hype that Punk is the odds on favorite to win, but the timing seems almost too ripe for Dragon to win the Rumble and finally win the title at the big one. That is the kind of long ball it feels like the E is playing, despite all the rumors to the contrary.

In my wildest dreams Punk wins the title at the Rumble or CHamber and Punk vs Dragon tears the house down at Wrestlemania with a match that no one on that roster can follow.

Punk/Bryan for the WWE World Title ending the show would be all kinds of amazing. But I can't see them doing it this year. Even though this show might have Hogan paired with Cena and Taker/Brock. I really love this idea though.

I am going to mania this year so I am praying for it. I think the chances are less than 5%, but I am praying to every god and goddess I can think of just incase.

This is a little ranty, but it kinda goes back to the conversation. i really think the "Authority" needs a twist. I thought Cena would be a perfect turn for them (and still would be), but we know that isn't going to happen. Punk would also make a great turn, but he doesn't physically fit the bill. Punk is not above turning on the fans and doing whatever it takes to be a heel though.

In all I see Punk as the most diverse going into the road to wrestlemania. If they could tempt HBK back for one more match that would be amazing. He could just be Punk all the way to a match with Orton. He could turn heel and turn on Dragon. He could pester HHH into a street fight. I think whatever they decide to do with Punk will determine a lot of what happens at Mania.

I'm going to say Bryan will win the Royal Rumble.

But its way too early to pick.

At this point, I'd say that makes the most sense and the ultimate way for him to stick it to the authority.

Personally, I'm burned out on him. But clearly by weekly crowd reactions I'm in the minority.

I'm going to ignore the fact that Indy said he was burnt out by Daniel Bryan and show you this hilarious commercial for the Rumble.

Okay...Orton was great there

Yep, Randy wins that commercial.

Clearly Roman Reigns was the star.

Im not gay or nothing but Roman Reigns is sexy and I would have sex with him.

Rightfully so. You'll be in the majority when he main events WrestleMania this year after winning the Royal Rumble.
