One would assume you can pencil down Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch for the Divas Championship. Would be cool if they could somehow work Sasha Banks into it, but maybe they are saving her for Mania.

Well with the WWE Title being Defended in the Royal Rumble I think closes down who can win it.

I have Reigns as Red Hot Favourite to Defend his Title. I dare say Reigns will come in at Number 1 or 2.

The only other Winner I can see is Lesaner by HHH Screwing Reigns out of the Title so it's set up a HHH vs Reigns Match at Fast Lane where IF Reigns wins he goes onto WM to have the ReMatch from WM31. Then I see Reigns beating Lesaner at WM32

Final 4 of Reigns, Lesnar, Cena, Triple H. Reigns OVERCOMES DA ODDZ and eliminates all three.

Sadly neither would I.

Sadly neither would I.

So, IF Reigns win you think the same thing will happen as last year. He being Booed out of the Arena as WWE Champion?

I think the only (somewhat realistic) outcomes where the audience cheers are Lesnar or Ambrose winning.

It's in Orlando. Not a smarky city like Philadelphia or Pittsburgh.

So does not matter who wins they will get Booed?

Lesaner is a Chance but No Way Ambrose is winning the Rumble

Does not mean there be Fans there to Boo Him though there is less chance.

Fans seem to getting Behind Reigns more then they have been

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

If Triple H wins this will be the worst Wrestlemania ever

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

The crowd will get excited during the rumble for 10 minutes and then take humungous dumps on it.

So be a 3rd year in the Row the Crowd will boo the Ending out of the Arena?

 

[Igloo]

I wouldn't imagine that Triple H is any kind of realistic chance of winning the Royal Rumble. And I love Triple H.

Triple H is paying $3.60 to win. Everyone's favourite sports entertainer Roman Reigns is favourite @ $2.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Perhaps HHH will cost Reigns winning which will set up their match for Wrestlemania. Or The Rock will stop HHH in some way.

 

[cheesedogg]

I picture it to be exactly like Kane & Show in last years Rumble, but it's Roman slowly lumbering around the ring systematically eliminating fan favourites one by one.

HHH and Reigns has there Fight at Fast Lane as Reigns would had to beat HHH to get his Title Match at WM32

If Triple H wins this will be the worst Wrestlemania ever

only if he comes out in a toga

Dangit cheesedogg, even the most staunch Roman hater can't call him slow. He's running around for three quarters of his matches.

Lol sorry man my post wasn't actually intended to come across as a jibe at Roman's athleticism as such, but more dissing the booking of the company & how much that sucked last year & I wouldnt put it past them thinking everybody crapped on it because it was Kane & Show so they'll just book the exact same stupid spot again but replace them with Reigns & hope that works.

Or if he jobs to a former NFL player with no professional wrestling experience.

We don't talk about that dark time, cheese.

Roman Reigns will be given #1 by a mwahahaha-ing Authority. He'll last until about #25 when the Authority's goons (League of Nations and whoever else) team up to throw him out. So starts his "winning the championship at 'Mania" angle.
