Rock vs. Punk--well, Rock can't wrestle all of the time. He just can't. Still, Rocky has a big ego and wants to stay ahead of Cena and HHH for the most title reigns. What to do? What to do?

I predict that The Rock WILL beat CM Punk at the Royal Rumble....but we forgot about "Mr. Money in the Bank". With the road to Wrestlemania underway, it's time to push Dolph to the next level. After Rock wins, I expect Ziggler to run in and take the title. Everybody wins. Punk is the longest reigning champ in 25 years. Rock has the most title reigns and he's free to make movies. Ziggler is champ just in time to main event Wrestlemania before the next MitB PPV.

So who wins the Rumble? Well, what makes for a good Wrestlemania Main Event? Would you like to see Ryback, Del Rio, Kane, Big Show, Cena, etc? No. You've been there and done that. Not worthy of headlining the main event of the biggest show of the year. No, you want somebody big. You want the Next Big Thing.

Forgot about his limited one year contract? Yeah. You were supposed to. So, I predict Lesnar surprising everyone (except me) and appearing at the Rumble and taking it all. Then, we get Lesnar vs. The Elimination Chamber winner (Ryback, Orton, Cena, Sheamus or Daniel Bryan) at Wrestlemania.

It's got to be a big name at Mania. Somebody that will get the crowd hyped. CM Punk will factor in somehow. It could even be a triple threat.

Two major things wrong with this statement.  

1 - Ziggler won the Heavyweight title contract.  He can't run in and beat Rock or Punk for the title. 

2 - Rock does not have the most title reigns.  Cena has 10, Triple H has 8, and Rock has 7.  If he does win at Royal Rumble, he'll only be tying HHH and still two behind Cena.

Sorry!  

I still think anyone but SuperCena or Ryback needs to win the Rumble.  I think Kofi should win it!

Don't know why I had it in my head that Rock was tied with Cena.  Must be (very) old info. 

As for Ziggler, this is the WWE.  Chris Jericho once got into an Elimination Chamber title match just by hitting a guy with a chair and walking into the chamber.  Rules are made to be broken.

I'm with you.  I'd hate to see Cena or Ryback win the Rumble......but I would like to see Cena fight Ryback.  Not because it would be a good match because it wouldn't.  It just seems like it would be a decent spectacle to see two of WWE's biggest faces face-off.  After the Rumble, let's post our Wrestlemania fantasy rosters!

Did something change?  You used to be able to cash in your Money in the Bank contract whenever you wanted to.  Literally, it's how Punk won his first title.

The only three people I can see winning this rumble is either John Cena, The Rock, or Dolph Ziggler.

Dolph has the money in the bank briefcase. He can still enter the rumble, and win having himself TWO contracts for title shots. They could use this as a play to bring back the undisputed championship. It was rumored they wanted to unify they heavyweight titles again.

Cena winning is obviously probably the main route, but also the dullest. I really don't want Cena vs Rock II. They did it last year. It was decent, but it was a once in a lifetime, I don't need to see it again.


I believe CM Punk will win his title match with the help of the shield/brad maddox/heyman. Setting The Rock up to win it at the Elimination Chamber where the shield can't interfere. Though with Vince's recent stip on his RR match the shield may not be involved at all. Either way I can't see a clean victory over The Rock.

Assuming there's some interference. The Rock can always enter the Royal Rumble and win. The RR is always the last match on the PPV card.



The outcome I'm terrified of is that Cena will win the Rumble in record-setting fashion, then Punk will drop the title to the Rock, which will set up Rock v. Cena at WM and ultimately another title run for Cena. That has to be a very attractive scenario from a sales standpoint. They aren't going to keep the title off Cena forever.

That's crappy.  Cancel the PPv and put it back at 'Mania!



Anyone know any websites that stream PPVs? I used to have a bookmark but it was deleted when I rebooted.
