Happy New Year people!
Just thought I'd make a bold prediction for the Rumble, No Way Out and Wrestlemania, based on what I've read on the net.
Firstly, to set up Edge/Taker, Taker wins the Rumble for the second straight time (I hope not, but it's a guess). Who else can possibly win? Any suggestions?
Secondly, considering HHH ain't in the Rumble, he wins the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out to become No. 1 contender for Orton's title.
Thus setting up the great Orton/HHH match we've all wanted to see for ages...wait a moment...we saw it twice at No Mercy. I really hope WWE changes its Mania plans on the Raw side. This would be sooo boring.
I heard talk of Batista winning the Rumble (no problem with that) and coming to Raw to face HHH, who would have won at Armaggedon and again at the Rumble. Obviously those plans have changed but I would suggest keep Batista as the winner and have him face Orton at Mania. Or even an Evolution triple threat. Anything but HHH/Orton.
There ain't many possibilites this year for the Rumble, considering it basically has to be a face who wins. That leaves, apart from those mentioned above, HBK/Finlay/Jericho/Kane/Matt Hardy...not a great selection to say the least. I mean HBK would equal Austin's record so I doubt that plus what would be the plan? Finlay, nope. Hardy, nope. Kane, nope. Jericho's in a feud with JBL so nope.
