So, who do you guys want to win each Rumble and who do you think will win?

For the women's, I want Bianca Belair to win. She is fantastic, and she's been out of the main event scene long enough to be missed. Rhea vs Bianca is honestly something I would pick as the main event of Mania over almost anything else they could do.

I honestly don't know who will win. I think it comes down to Bianca, Charlotte, and Becky if she's going to return. I think for Bianca, it makes sense, but they still have to kind of tie up the stuff with Jade and Naomi, so maybe she's bogged down with that till mania.

I feel like Charlotte could win, but probably shouldn't. Charlotte is 100% one of the best workers, but she has been kind of overexposed. I think fans will be happy to see her back, but pushing her right into the main event of mania might taint that goodwill.

Becky is a similar story to Charlotte, except that she was someone the fans chose initially. That being the case, she kind of gets some leeway that Charlotte doesn't.

As for others... Iyo Sky maybe? She is very over and they seem to want to push her, but I just don't see her vs Rhea or her vs Tiffany Straton as being a Mania worthy match. Match quality would be great, but I just don't see the build working very well.

So for who I think is going to win, I'm still going to go with Bianca.

For the mens, it's a tough call. You have Cena, Punk, Rollins, Reigns, and Mcyntyre all as likely candidates. Jey Uso and Sami Zayn are darkhorses. There are some guys like Bron Breaker that would make for surprising winners, but not shocking. And someone like Brock could come back and win it.

Really the strongest field we've seen in a while. My personal preference would be for Punk. Assuming the current champions remain title holders till Mania, I think the best two matches they could do would be Cody vs Punk or Cena vs Gunther. Cody and Punk could have some amazing promo battles while Cena vs Gunther would feature Cena beating the monster heel for the last time. Of the two, I'd be more interested in Punk vs Rhodes.

As for who I think will win, I dunno. I think they want to milk the Cena thing a bit more, and have him lose here to build more intrigue for Elimination Chamber, especially since he's so heavily advertised for that. Punk then seems like the next most likely candidate, but I feel like HHH has pretty rarely gone for the layup in his booking career. I get the weird feeling that the rumble is so star studded that they may have someone more unexpected fly in under the radar and take the win.

So, I'm gonna go with... Sami Zayn. Can't really give a logical reason for that, but I'm going with my gut.

This is probably the most hyped I've been for a rumble in a while. I accidentally spoiled the last one for myself (I tuned in a bit late thinking it was late enough that I would be able to watch the replay, but instead I got a glimpse of Cody winning) so I'm gonna be super vigilant about this one.

What are your predictions/wishes?
