Rumble Predictions

[Zedja]

I know this is kind of the last minute, but what are your predictions for the Rumble?

The card so far is
* 30 Man Royal Rumble
* Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio for the Heavyweight Title
* Sheamus vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Title
* Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson for the ECW Title
* Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James for the Women's Title

My picks in the opposite order:
Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James
Mickie James wins the title. I can't see how they can have her go through the Piggie James angle and not give the title to her.

Christian vs. Ezekiel Jackson
I just can't see Ezekiel as a champion, yet. However I think that he could become something else if he just got better at wrestling.

Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
I don't really want my pick to win, since he can't really wrestle, but having Orton win will just rehash Orton vs Cena. I can't argue that Orton is a better champion though. I'll go on a bit later another reason for this pick.

Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio
I just can't see Undertaker as anything but the champ at Wrestlemania.

30 Man Battle Royal
Ok there are several predictions here.
* Edge will return either as a competitor or as a run in and cause the elimination of Chris Jericho. Maybe with the help of R-Truth.
* One of the members of Legacy will eliminate the other.
* Triple H will eliminate Shawn Michaels and probably win it all.

The reason for this is that I think it will be Sheamus vs. Triple H at Mania, seeing how Sheamus got the title due to training together with HHH. So who better to strip the title off him.

Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels will happen in any case at Mania, but I think it won't be a singles match, but a threeway/foursome.

But I have to say that my second pick to win has to be either John Morrison or Kofi Kingston.

My predictions!

Mickie James wins the Women's Title

Ezekial Jackson beats Christian. I have a feeling Christian is moving to Smackdown in the draft, so this will be used to put Zeke over the next couple months before that (Zeke's win tonight and retains in subsequent rematches).

Sheamus retains over Orton. Perhaps Legacy interference backfires to put more stress on an already tenuous alliance.

Taker beats Rey. Think this can be a great match, but Rey's not winning the title.

Royal Rumble. There's still 5 names not announced officially. I'd be shocked if Morrison and McIntyre weren't two of them. I'll also say Ziggler is in. I don't see Edge actually wrestling in the Rumble tonight. I think it's too soon and it would be foolish to rush him getting back into the ring if he's not absolutely 100% ready to come back. I can see him getting involved though to screw Jericho, but I hope he doesn't wrestle.

I'm also going to predict Booker T returns tonight as an entrant (based on conversations I had with RVD when I was working with him a couple weeks ago, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened) and I will go on a limb and say Orton is also in the Rumble. Perhaps he bullies someone to steal their number ala Kurt Angle a few years ago when he stole Nunzio's number.

Mickie over Michelle to end the "Piggy James" saga ...

Zeke defeats Christian to win the title, and then moves on to defend against Koslov probably at the next PPV ...

Orton wins the WWE Title ...

I am going against the grain here and calling Rey over Taker, thanks to Shawn's interference ...

I am going with Edge to return and win the Rumble, setting up Edge v. Orton at Wrestlemania ...

I do like the idea of Booker returning in the Rumble match itself tonight ... if Jericho hadn't gotten arrested last week, he would have been my pick ...

darkhorse Rumble pick will be CM Punk ...

So Taker, Christian, and Shamus are all still champs...
Totally missed the Mickie v McCool match
Edge returns to win the Rumble.



Kinda disappointed that he was the only "surprise" entrant (I kinda missed the random one-offs of years past, like RVD)

So all my predictions but three (all rumble related) came true. I think Triple H was supposed to win but injured himself and told Shawn to eliminate him.

RVD being in that Rumble is actually one of my proudest moments as a nerdy wrestling fan as I actually had prior knowledge that he was going to be in it 3 days prior. A very stupid thing to be proud of yes, but it made me feel like a real insider.

This may be why I don't have a girlfriend.
