Here we go ladies and gents. This PPV is the start of Wrestlemania season and it's going to be a crazy season for sure. So many different variables and they all start Sunday. Let's go down the list.
Team Rhode Scholars facing Team Hell No should be the first match. It's going to be a fantastic tag match. I mean it should be, these teams have been feuding for months and they know each other pretty well. Team Hell No have done their job in restoring the tag division and now it's time for them to split and go their seperate ways and that starts this Sunday. Team Rhode Scholars win the tag titles. I don't know what's next for them but I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Del Rio and Big Show will have an all out war at the Rumble. I'm not interested in the feud. I'm really not interested with any feud featuring Big Show. Del Rio will get the win but probably won't make it out the World Champion. It's a Last Man Standing match with Big Show! And he's got an anger problem! I think Del Rio wins, Big Show gets mad and Ziggler cashes in, due to the fact that he's either #1 or #2 in this year's Rumble. I've been predicting Ziggler's cash in for awhile but it makes much more sense now. Del Rio defeats Big Show but walking out as World Champion? I don't think so.
CM Punk and The Rock. The match in the making since July. This is going to be interesting. Will it be better than Cena/Rock? Probably with Punk's superior wrestling skill. How will this all end? Well, it SHOULD end with Punk retaining so he can set up his clash with The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 29. It's just the right main event for Punk to do. If he faces Taker WITHOUT with historic reign intact, the match, while good, won't convince anyone that Punk will win. With Shield banned from ringside, can Punk really retain against Rock? Yes! I think we'll see Lesnar come back and set up his match with The Rock at Wrestlemania. I'd rather see that than Cena/Rock right now to be honest. Bottom line, I'm predicting that CM Punk will once again retain his WWE Championship. Maybe with Lesnar, maybe without. Punk is walking out as champ.
Ah, the Royal Rumble. This year's Rumble is unfortunately predictable. With Rock and Cena on the same card and with a rumor of a rematch in the works, it's pretty obvious that Rock wins the WWE Title and Cena wins the Rumble, BUT, I will not be predicting that. Once again, this is another good year for WWE to use the Rumble as a way to propel one of their younger talents. Del Rio in 2011, Sheamus in 2012, it's a good thing to do. Who do I think deserves the win? Wade Barrett obviously. The man has been on the verge of a breakout since coming into WWE but they refuse to pull the trigger with him. Let him win the Rumble and start his eventual feud with the World Champion. Cesaro's another guy who could win, but he's a REAL dark horse choice. Randy Orton, while not a young superstar, could definitely use the victory with his imminent heel turn coming. Ziggler, if he doesn't cash in, could be the first MITB contract holder to have his contract and WIN the Rumble, but he just has to last the whole match.
This year's Rumble is very hard to predict. I'm hoping we see some returns but not just one night returns, I want guys who can stay with the company. Particually, Shelton Benjamin. I will be highly upset if I don't see him run down and join the fray at the Rumble. Anyway, my final prediction for a Rumble winner, for the 3rd year in a row, I'm going to pick Wade Barrett. My #2 is Randy Orton and #3 is Dolph Ziggler.
Yes yes, I know, SuperCena is going to win and head to Mania blah blah blah. I don't want to see it, but I think we'll know the winner of the Rumble and Punk/Rock by match order. If Punk/Rock main events AND Cena doesn't win the Rumble, then Punk will retain thanks to Cena and we'll get Rock/Cena 2 at Mania. If the Rumble main events and Rock wins, then Cena wins the Rumble. If it's vice versa, you got a dark horse/wild card winning.
Anyway, it should be very interesting to see what WWE has in store for us at the Rumble. What suprises await this Sunday? I can't wait to find out!
