NFT: WWE Royal Rumble

Old Dirty Beckham : 1/19/2017 11:00 am

Coming up in about a week and I have to say this is the hardest rumble to pick in a long time. There are a ton of people who can win it.

Who does everyone think will win and where do you see mania heading? I think Taker wins it even with the rumors of Cena and Taker match being shut down. Here's what I think happens.

Mania Card

WWE Universal Title Match
Roman Reigns Vs Braun Strowman

WWE Championship Match
AJ Styles Vs Undertaker

John Cena vs Samoa Joe

United States Title
Chris Jericho vs Kevin Owens

Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg

Raw Tag Titles
The Club Vs New Day Vs Enzo/Cass Vs Sheamus/Cesaro

Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton

Womens Title

Charlotte vs Bayley

You?

I got a big upset for Rumble

Sammi Zayn. Its time for WWE to do some unexpected things.

NXT call ups for the Royal Rumble

NYG27 : 1/19/2017 11:11 am : link

I can see a couple of NXT guys get promoted to the WWE main roster for the Royal Rumble. Would be good to see Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura come up. There really is nothing left for them to prove at NXT and they need to be on the main rosters of RAW and Smackdown. This would be a great time to promote them for the Rumble.

I have a feeling Cena gets the record at Mania

Which would suck major balls.

I think Goldberg wins the Rumble. I mean they had him destroy Brock. They're sky high on him right now.

No way do they go with Reigns winning again. It'd be a disaster.

I like Sammi and he should get a push but seems like every time that he does, he gets injured.

Reigns isnt in the match

because he's in a title match at the rumble

Rollins/HHH wil take place at WrestleMania, too.

Dave in Hoboken : 1/19/2017 11:21 am : link

HHH will screw him in the Rumble match.

Anyone know what the deal with Paige has been?

NYG27 : 1/19/2017 11:26 am : link

I know she had a shoulder injury and needed rest for a few months to recover. Then her boyfriend Alberto Del Rio leaves the WWE because he was unhappy with creative. Then in October, she gets her second suspension (60 days) from violating the WWE Wellness policy.

She should now finally be healthy and off suspension. Anyone know if she will be returning to TV?

Hopefully

Tye Dillinger comes in at 10 and Samoa Joe and Pete Dunne are surprise entrants.

Rumble is usually my favorite ppv. The only way they ever screwed it up was bautista winning and no daniel bryan in it.

Also, when do we get a womens rumble match? They have enough to do a 20 women rumble

I can see a scenario where Taker wins the Rumble and wins the belt one last time at Mania. Then he retires. Almost a thank you for him after all his years being loyal to the company... He seems to the be the last of old guard from the WWF days.
Should he? not sure about that, but I think its possible.

Plus

yankeeslover : 1/19/2017 2:57 pm : link

I think Taker deserves one last spotlight and to go out on top. hes the one guy who stayed loyal to Vince back in the 90's when everyone else jumped for greener pastures at that time.

They could go in so many directions

Tom in DC : 1/19/2017 5:08 pm : link

I'd love to see a guy like Zayne win and then have a WM triple threat of Owens/Zayne/Balor.

I know they are setting up Strowman, but I get the sense it's too soon for him.

My ideal WM card (other than tag teams and women) would be

Lesner/Godlburg
Rollin/HHH
Cena/Taker
Styles/Angle
Owens/Zayne/Balor
Reigns/Jericho/Strowman

That leaves Samoa Joe against who, Ambrose?
