It's going to be a good match. CM Punk and The Rock are the 2 of the best mic workers in the WWE Right now.
I hope the Rock introduces a new belt after he beat the longest reigning WWE Champion in the last 20 years. Foley and Flair will probably help the Rock if The Shield attacks the People Champ again.
Alberto Del Rio vs. The Big Show Last Man Standing match for the World Heavyweight Championship
I expect Del Rio to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. It's going to be a good match.
ADR is a transitional champion because I expect Dolph Ziggler to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase after the last man standing match.
Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan & Kane) (c) vs. The Rhodes Scholars (Damien Sandow & Cody Rhodes)
I think It's time for the WWE to give the WWE Tag team championship to The Rhodes Scholars. I would love to see Sandow wins his first WWE title.
John Cena
Randy Orton
Sheamus
Dolph Ziggler
Heath Slater
Jinder Mahal
Drew McIntyre
Antonio Cesaro
Wade Barrett
The Miz
Ryback
Titus O'Neil
Darren Young
Kane
Daniel Bryan
Surprise Entrants
Tommy Dreamer
The New Age Outlaws
The Shield
Ric Flair
Brock Lesnar
I pick Ryback or John Cena to win the Royal Rumble Match. To tell you the truth I want to see the Rock vs. Ryback at Wrestlemania 29.
I came into this thread after the 2K wrestling game thread.
The only guys on that list I really know anything about are The Rock, Cena, Kane, Rick Flair, and Brock Lesner. I vaguely aware of Orton, Sheamus, CM Punk, and The Miz, but I couldn't tell you anything beyond what they look like (don't know any of their signature moves). Everybody else I've never heard of before. That Ryback guy looks like the 2nd coming of Goldberg (mixed with the face of Deebo from Friday).
How WWE is gonna position Cena into the upcoming WrestleMania will be revealed at this event. Likely without Undertaker, I can only imagine Cena headlining the WM against either CM Punk or the Rock if available. With Punk likely to defend his title again, the belt's value will be all-time high at the WM and having Cena winning it at that event would be perfect.
RyBack could just face the Shield in a 3-on-1 match with some stipulations.
Not that I watch much anymore, but Cena/Rock II sounds incredibly boring.... Unless of course Cena finally turns heel.
The closest we'd ever get to see Cena being a heel is early 2006(WM vs HHH, ECW PPV vs RVD) but that's more to do with the crowd reaction than storyline.
Pretty sure Rock beats Punk and Cena wins the Rumble. That's the only way they'd be able to "reluctantly" set up another WM match between the two even though the big sell on last years WM was that the match was "once in a lifetime".
As far as Punk goes, the storyline I'd probably go with is Punk loses the title and goes on a rant over the next few weeks about how his title reign was "the most impressive streak in WWE history"...that triggers a match with Taker because his WM streak is "the most impressive streak in WWE history". I think with Taker they'd want him in a match with Punk cuz they need someone who can get a really good match out of him while takin care of him at the same time
