Undertaker couldn't be to far fetched but then again.
Cena...yes...Cena is going to retain.
Batista is going to retain.
Hardys/MNM...I actually say they give us the Hardys winning. | Big Bad

The only people I can see winning the Rumble are Michaels or Undertaker. HBK might have the edge given that the PPV is in his hometown, and he might need a bit more of an angle to get himself a title shot since he's been seperate from Cena, whereas Undertaker has been interacting with Batista lately. | Packman V2

| #4 Posted on 21.1.07 1734.21 Reposted on: 21.1.14 1735.47 | I think that Orton or Edge will win the Rumble, and possibly due to shenanigans costing the other of the 2 the shot. Most likely Edge, but I'm not sure.
I kinda think they might lest Test win, to have Lashley regain at Mania, but who's to say?
I think Cena retains, and I think Batista retains, and MNM get some revenge on the Hardyz.

Umaga beats Cena.
Lashley beats Test (is this Extreme Rules?)
Batista beats Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy(PAUSE)Kennedy will be the champ within a couple of years (he's awesome in the ring, I think) but now...it's Batista's time.
MNM beat Hardyz. That's the match I'm looking forward to the most. | Gugs

I thought this was predictions, not wishful thinking. The WWE wouldn't even let Punk be the final four in the Elimination Chamber with five other ECW wrestlers. I doubt he's going to be one of the final four out of 29 other Raw/Smackdown/ECW talent. I hope you're right though.
I wish the Royal Rumble World Title stipulation was done away with. As long as the winner faces the World Champion at WM it pretty much has to be HBK and UT and that's not really all that fun. I'd rather it was like Money in the Bank and they just got a title shot at some point in time. Then the Royal Rumble winner could be a midcard guy and he could ask for a title shot at a minor ppv and WWE can just test the waters with that wrestler like they did with Edge. Then again I'm probably doing some wishful thinking now. Even if the Royal Rumble wasn't for the WM main event they'd probably still have either HBK, HHH, Flair, UT, Orton, or Edge win since they are the only wrestlers that exist.
Is Rikishi still wrestling anywhere these days? He'd be a good face "legend" who would probably get a pretty good pop as a Royal Rumble entry. | Freeway

I can totally see them doing a Rated RKO vs. HBK angle throughout the Rumble, with faces that would make logical sense chipping in to help out HBK (while heels that would make logical sense chipping in to aid Rated RKO).
Punk is, for now, ECW's #2 face. With Lashley not in the match, a Punk appearance in the final four would make people go "Hey, what is this ECW thing?" | Wpob

Batista, Lashley and Cena all retain, Cena and Umaga will have a bitchin' brawl, and MNM will get a win back from the Hardys. 'Taker wins the Rumble, as a)he's never won it before, b)they'll want him looking as strong as possible for 'Mania, and c)it's easier to set Michaels up as Cena's challenger through some kind of Rated RKO-heavy tournament shenanigans. | Trunzo

| #19 Posted on 24.1.07 0236.06 Reposted on: 24.1.14 0237.00 | It is Royal. It is Rumble. It is the Royal Rumble!
Royal Rumble Its Ownself
Prediction: Undertaker. It makes the most sense for Edge/Randall/Shawn to joust over the Raw title shot for a little longer if everything on Raw is going where I think it's going (Shawn-Cena/The Rated RKOpowers EXPLODE), plus it gives Taker a boost into the main event that Shawn doesn't really need at the moment since he's doing a hell of a job doing it himself.
ADDED FUN BITS:
The Diesel Push: Khali The Hour Of Power: Benoit Garbage In, Garbage Out: The Miz ====
World Smackdown Title: Batista (c) vs. Mr. Kennedy
It'll be interesting to see what Kennedy is able to do in his first big event, espcially with someone like Batista, who isn't exactly setting the world on fire at the moment. Obviously Kennedy is going down, but a lot of his future is tied to this match.
Prediction: Batista retains. === WWE Raw Title: John Cena (c) v Umaga, Last Man Standing
It's almost a running joke about Cena's constant underdog booking at this point, but in a case such as this, it works like a motherfucker. Cena has apparantly taken his Memphis babyface selling lessons to heart this past week and seems to be more and more sure of his role each day. Expect Cena to get little to no offense in the first 10 minutes, only to make the big comeback at the end. That's the formula at its best.
Prediction: Cena retains. === Extreme Buck-Buck for the World Championship of West Philadelphia: Bobby Lashley (c) v Test.
Test's 8 year journey is about to be culminated. Although in the end this can go either way, and unless they're using Test as a go-between for someone else or a rematch, those are the only two reasons Test should win here. If booked properly this should safeguard the weaknesses of both at all costs.
Prediction: Test wins his first ECW championship == MNM vs The Hardy Boyz
While MNM might have a high standing at the moment, the one problem they have is that they managed to come along at a bad time for the division and don't have the same level of cred that the Harys have simply because the Hardys in their heyday had more and better compeititon. This is where MNM get brought up to their level if only for there to be even ground at WrestleMania.
Prediction: MNM wins | CANADIAN BULLDOG
