Royal Rumble predictions

Hi all here's where to make your predictions for the rumble

John cena to win the rumble match
Cm punk to retain over the rock with help from Brock leaner
Alberto del rio to beat show .... Ziegler to cash in at elimination chamber
Team hell no to lose and break up
Kaitlyn to retain
Cesaro to retain

Until Raw I thought it was 50/50 on the Punk v rock match but I think it's nailed upon for Rock to win now after he swore on God that he'd win, WWE don't go back on statements like that.

Cena To win the Rumble
The Rock Wins WWE Title
Del Rio Retains WHC Title against Big Show
Rhodes/Scholars win Tag titles
Kaitlyn Retains
Miz to win US Title from Cesaro

Agreed Ziggler Cashes in Elimination Chamber to Win WHC from Del Rio

Ryback to be eliminated by The Shield

Sheamus to Brogue Kick Orton and eliminate him. Orton slides back in and nails him with an RKO leading to his elimination, Orton heel turn starting a rivalry between the two

Christian returns

ADR will beat Big Show. Big Show will knock out one of 3MB and end up being 30th man in rumble. Cena after being in the Rumble for roughly an hour somehowgets the strength to o pick up a fresh as a daisy big show across his shoulders and dump him out to win the rumble

@GazzyD, I like your theory on the Sheamu/Orton feud. Would be a great way to turn Orton heel.

Unfortunately I see either Cena or Sheamus winning the Rumble this year. I would like to see Orton win by punting heads on his way through but I just don't see it happening.

Was it last year that the loser of the respective title matches were allowed in the rumble or was it the year before. Because in that case we could see either The Rock or CM Punk (whoever loses) enter and even the rumble.

Other matches;

ADR to bear Big Show. Surely.
Team Hell No to lose. Possible start a feud for Wrestlemania between the two.
Cesaro to beat the MIz.
The Rock beats CM Punk. *Fantasy Booking* The Rock beats CM Punk with help from The Shield thus aligning themselves together.

John Cena to win the Royal Rumble
Im still unsure on Punk vs Rock
ADR to beat the big show
Cesaro to beat the miz
Team Hell No to lose and the first start to there match at Mania
Ryback to Eliminate the shield
Christian to return.

RR Winner: Chris Jericho and then takes on Ziggler at Mania!
Rock beats Punk - rematch Mania

the WWE have really shot themselves in the foot with Mania this year - should Rock v Cena happen again then it goes back on the 'once in a lifetime' tag from their match last year. It also makes it more predictable that Cena will win the rematch as him losing to the Rock twice at Mania back to back is incredibly hard to imagine. If Ziggler cashes in at EC and goes into Mania as the heavyweight champ he's going to have very little credibility and momentum as world champ and if he loses will most certainly look like a transitional champ, someone WWE don't have any faith in as a staple main eventer such as Christian whose world title run in 2011 was purely a reward for service and not a genuine expression of trust in him. They've failed to pull the trigger with Ziggler so many times before. If Ziggler should cash in and win at Mania then I suspect it will be one of the first matches of the night because there's no way someone of Ziggler's status would actually main event Mania, despite the WWE calling the world title match a 'main event'. But I can't see the WWE giving Ziggler the ADR treatment so I imagine the title would be back in ADR's hands by Extreme Rules.

How a year changes things at mania last year I so wante the rock to beat John cena but really didn't think he would... At this years rumble I wan punk to bet rock but don't think he will....

Also a side note ... My kids watched wwe raw for the first time last week and it intrigued me to see after no prior prep talk ie who's bad and who's good ... They (after 1 week) hate Cm punk and love the tooth fairy (this is actually what they called the rock) so wwe have got the audience down to a tee even after 1 week the kids are 6

kaitlyn retain divas title
team rhodes scholars new tag team champions team hell no split (kane vs bryan wm)
adr def big show retains title
adr def ziggler retains title
ziggler wins royal rumble match
the rock beat cm punk wwe title

Well, I think its a dead cert that Rock will beat Punk and Cena will win the Rumble setting them up, again, for Wrestlemania. I personally would like Brock to help Punk retain, especially since they have made a big deal of the Shield not being allowed to interfere, then we have Rock vs Brock at Wrestlemania, which would be fun although difficult to say

I think Kaityn will beat whoever and 'Berto will retain his title. I hope Damien and Cody win the tag titles.

Could something like this work?
Ziggler comes in as number 1, AJ and Big E in toe
Ziggler wrestles the all match still with AJ and Big E at ringside
The buzzer for number 30 goes and no one comes out
Ziggler elimanates the last man thinking he'd won then Big E throws Ziggler other the top rope.
Turns out Big E was number 30.
Big E wins!!!

the final 4 will be Cena, Ziggler, Orton and Sheamus. Sheamus will eliminate Orton, then as revenge he sneaks back in and eliminates Sheamus, turning heel and starting their WM feud, with Orton winning the WHC in the chamber. It will then be down to Ziggler/Cena. Either Big E turns on Ziggles and helps Cena win, or Cena wins anyway. Either way, Cena wins the Rumble

Why would Big E turn on Ziggler this early into the story? That makes little to no sense to me.

I think Cena is a nailed on Certainty to win the Rumble. I also think it'll be a triple threat match at Mania with him, Punk and the Rock, which Cena wins.

Cena will not win.

Heard it here first

I have decided to make my predictions of winners without Cena, as Cena winning has an obvious feel to it. So I'm gonna do this based on Cena being a disallowed option.

With that in mind I think it will be Orton or The Miz. I think the Intercontinental run, the face turn, the figure four, all these things point to Miz being given a proper push soon. Miz vs Ziggler at Wrestlemania seems possible

I'm looking at this mania card
CM Punk vs John Cena
Dolph Ziggler vs Sheamus
The Rock vs Brock Lesner

Not sure about taker, maybe Orton or God forbi big show
I'm also hoping that trips takes the night off

And finally a triple threat street fight featuring the shield

I don't mind that card tbf but i really cant see Undertaker facing anyone apart from Punk or Lesner.

I had a thought watching RAW last night - the only way Punk losing could be made decent would be if he won the Rumble........the Rumble is normally last, right? Or are they going to change it around this year?

The Rumble I believe is still down as the headliner.

I thought so......Punk winning would redeem his loss to the Rock

Rock v Punk.
Vince has told Punk that if the shield interfere in the match, then he will be stripped of the belt. He did not say that Rocky would be given the strap if that happens...
Punk has stated that the shield have got nothing to do with him repeatedly.
Heyman spoke to Brad Maddox on Raw and actually came round to maddox doing something for him.
Maddox and his camerman have subsequently been attacked (I assume by the shield).

So...
what if at the rumble Rock and Punk are on early on, maybe the first match. They go back and forth for 40 minutes, then the lights go out. When they come back up both men appear laid out on the mat. The referee counts to ten and both men are out. Punk retains... but the camera pans out to the crowd and we see a member of the shield making his getaway.

Out comes Vince and he strips Punk of the belt. He cant award it Rock as he didnt win the match, so the Belt is up for grabs in the Rumble main event.

Throughout the night Heyman approaches Mcmahon and Vickie about how unjust this is. He explains how he employed Maddox and he was atacked by the shield (this is discovered during the night), so this shows that Punk isnt working with the shield. He negotiates for Punk to be in the rumble.

Punk comes in at number 1 with Ziggler and goes on to eventually win, with the help of the shield eliminating all the stars including the Rock who also was given a spot given the contraversial ending to the championship match.

Next night on Raw we see how The shield attacked the Rock while the lights were out and Punk just lay down to act as if he was attacked too. Vince cant strip him of the title again as he has already received his punishment, and Punk's championship reign continues. He doesnt look weak as although it is a screwy finish to the championship match, his performance in the rumble keeps him strong.

what do you think?

If CM Punk retains against The Rock, then I can only see Ryback winning the Royal Rumble. If The Rock wins the WWE title however, then the winner of the rumble will be either John Cena or CM Punk.

And somehow, some way we WILL see Brock Lesnar Sunday night. Whether that is as a suprise entry in the rumble, or intefering in the Rock / Punk match, I defo think we will see him.
