OK guys,
Arguably one of the biggest PPV's of the year, sometimes I look forward to this more than 'Mania.....seriously. My and my amigos will be staying up to watch this one live, rather than recording and watching a day later as things usually get spoiled.
What are peoples predictions for this? What are you looking forward to? Who do you think will be the shock entrants this year? and most important....who will win!?
I'd cry tears of joy if Y2J came back, as either a face or the old Y2J.

My bets are on Triple H and The Great Khali returning rather than Y2J. Also, something tells me there will be a female wrestler in this Rumble (Awesome Kong?).

One of my workmates reckons Undertaker will come back in the Royal Rumble match.

I'm not really sure who will win, but my surprise returns are going to be Triple H, The Not-So-Great Khali, Awesome Kong, Booker T and JBL... yep, JBL.

Triple H and Booker T will probably be there. I hope Great Khali's bodyguard will make an entrance and start busting some caps. I think Corre and Nexus will square off, but probably will end up all being thrown out by the Undertaker. Then Barrett distracts him so McIntyre throws Taker out and wins.

An Undertaker surprise would be nice, but I don't think it's going to happen. Christian, maybe?
CM Punk for the win though.

Booker T wont be there
Possible TNA spoilers below...
Booker T might be returning as part of the revamped Main Event Mafia, it's been speculated that this is the "they" that Crimson has been talking about

Well, Let's simplify the Royal Rumble shall we?
1: The Winner has the be from RAW.
Why? Simple, Who from Smackdown is in the Rumble that could possibly win?
Alberto Del Rio, Big Show, Kane, Or Wade Barrett
Let's just go ahead and eliminate the rest of the Smackdown guys now:
They would be:Zeke Jackson, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, JTG, Jack Swagger, DH Smith, Chris Masters, Tyler Recks, & Chavo Guerrero
Also, we can easily set the Elimination Chamber for Smackdown: Edge, Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Kane & Alberto Del Rio.
Or Take out Rey and Add Wade Barrett
2: Even though we've narrowed it to one show, the winner being Raw, our options are limited.
Let's be realistic here, Yoshi Tatsu, Santino, Kozlov, William Regal, Primo, Tyson Kidd, Mark Henry, R-Truth, Ted Dibiase, Zack Ryder, Mason Ryan, David Otunga, Husky Harris, Michael Magilicutty & Daniel Bryan has no chance to pull this out.
So we're left with: John Cena, CM Punk, John Morrison & Sheamus.
One of these four is going to win the Royal Rumble.
3: If you've been keeping count: There are possibly 3-5 open slots
There are 19 Raw Superstars and 17 Smackdown! Superstars listed here. Anyway Who could possibly come back or debut?
A) Triple H - I'm pretty much banking on this one, since he's been ready to go for about a month now. (Odds: 5:2)
B) Great Khali - Perfect early surprise to be eliminated by Sheamus (Odds 4:1)
C) Christian - Maybe number 30, to keep fans interested. (Odds 10: 1)
D) Anyone else not named Undertaker: (Batista, Jericho, MVP, Kaval, Awesome Kong, Sting? Nash?) I doubt anyone I just listed enters, but Who knows? WWE faked out people with Bryan's release. (Odds 50:1)
E) Undertaker - Very long shot, maybe a gong or something to announce his return. (Odds 100:1)
4: So, in Conclusion taking everything into consideration:
CM PUNK will win the Royal Rumble.
Yes, it goes against the grain, but Punk is on fire. He's got the heat, the group, and the ability. The other three all have something going on:
Sheamus - Triple H vs. Sheamus is going to happen again, since Sheamus won KOTR, so that rules Sheamus out.
John Morrison - is not ready just yet, but this time next year, he will be. Although I do expect him to have an impressive showing before going out.
John Cena - I originally was going to pick Cena to win, But that makes Miz vs. Cena at WM, I don't think Miz makes it to WM with the title.
Also have to set Raw's Elimination Chamber. Miz defending against Orton, Cena, Triple H, Sheamus, and John Morrison makes more sense than Adding Punk to that mix in place of Cena.
************Alternate Ending**************
The only other option I can envision is Triple H winning the rumble.
Which puts Miz defending against Punk, Cena, Sheamus, Morrison & Orton in the EC, Which Miz wins and we get Miz vs. HHH at WM
But I don't think that happens, because it means HHH's return and fued with Sheamus is over very quickly and hurts Sheamus a bit, since he has to lose the fued.
**********************************************
Other matches:
WWE Championship match: The Miz(C) vs. Randy Orton Miz upsets Orton for a third time, and only makes him cockier. Winner: Miz
World Heavyweight Title Match: Edge (C) vs. Dolph Ziggler It'll be better than Edge vs. Kane at least. Winner: Edge
2 on 1 Divas Championship Match: Natalya (C) vs. Lay-Cool I think Nattie has run out of opponents. Melina's turn went nowhere, and she's beaten both Alicia Fox and Maryse, so she's gotta drop the title back to Lay-Cool, so they can fued with Beth. Winner: Lay-Cool I don't think there is another match announced, but I'm not looking at the card.
That was way too much typing.

There's so many different ways things could go. I honestly dont see Miz as world champion at Mania......but who knows WWE may be sold with him so if he is champ at Mania.....
Miz retains against Orton at the Rumble thanks to some nefarious means. A-Ry does some interfering, distracts Randy enough for Miz to hit the finale and Miz goes over Orton.
Orton then becomes a surprise entrant in the rumble and wins the thing and continues his feud with Miz heading into Mania.
Then we get MIz vs Orton at mania. With Cena vs Punk coming to a head over the New Nexus angle.
If Miz isn't champ at Mania....
Then I agree with Ricky and see Punk winning the rumble thanks to nexus. And Cena wins the world title at EC.
All in all I still see Punk vs Cena and Miz & Orton or maybe even Miz vs Morrison (non-title grudge match or even both in MITB as horrible as that sounds for Miz.)
Edge will obviously retain against Ziggler. No way is Dolph getting the win. At Mania.....I honestly see Edge vs Del Rio or some surprise return or perhaps Wade Barret. That would be a hundred times better then Taker vs Barret.

They're really teasing Cena vs. Miz on Raw, so even though I said Punk with the win, I wouldn't be surprised if Cena wins the Rumble. Then you can go Punk vs. Orton, Barrett vs. Undertaker, and Edge vs. Del Rio/Ziggler/Who ever at WM.
