Has it been mentioned who the winner of the Rumble will face at Wrestlemania? I know in the previous brand split they got to choose who they faced. Is it the same? Or if someone from Raw wins, will they have to go after the Universal title and if someone from SD wins, they will have to go after the WWE World Heavyweight title?

I don't believe they've said anything. I'm guessing it'll just be the winner gets to choose which title he challenges for, especially if they end up going a cross-brand route. Unfortunately, WWE doesn't think these details are important enough/don't think the fans care enough to bother mentioning.

Last night, the New Day and Braun Strowman both mentioned that they would be going for the Universal title of they won.

I still say Seth wins it and celebrates in the ring, just as Trips returns and spoils it, attacking Rollins so severely, Seth is "laid up" for several weeks (stalling the confrontations, leading up to WM, for a match between the 2). Later on after Mania, Seth can rehash the fact that he never got his title shot at Mania, and he once again enters the title picture.
Meanwhile, each brand can respectfully decide their own #1 contenders by whatever means (battle royal, tournament, turmoil gauntlet, ladder/contract, ect).

In kayfabe surely the winner would want to fight for the World title.

Finn Balor returns at the Rumble. (The entrance would be great)
Finn Balor wins the Rumble.
Finn Balor appears on RAW with both Kevin Owens and AJ Styles (Who are both still champions) and though it appears as if Kevin Owens is the logical choice, since Finn never technically lost that title, Finn Balor goes for the Bullet Club history and challenges AJ Styles instead.
If Finn Balor is healthy and able to wrestle at WM, then anything other than Balor-Styles just makes me question why WWE hired either guy.

Unless there's some kind of storyline behind a switch, I'm pretty sure the winner will challenge the champion of their brand.

Balor wins. Challenges AJ at WM. Hearts of millions marks explode. Still finds time to complain about Show vs Shaq though.

Any chance Julius Caesar and Cleopatra come out and greet the winner?

Even in kayfabe standards, I would still pass on a shot at the Universal Title.
It just seems so fake still to me. Plus somehow the US Title seems more valuable and prestige on Raw than the Universal Title does.

Plus somehow the US Title seems more valuable and prestige on Raw than the Universal Title does. The issue is we have multiple titles that look identical. Color variations aside, If I tuned in and saw Raw's title, then the women's then repeat on smackdown, I would be very confused on what title is what. |

Here's my theory...
1) Balor comes out at #30 as a surprise. Eliminates Taker and ultimately wins.
2) Meanwhile, Roman wins the Universal title from KO.
3) They play up Roman saying he'd love to face Balor for the belt one day (from the Raw where Balor won #1 contendership) to set up face vs. face match at Mania.
4) Balor wins the title at Mania, after he turns heel by aligning himself with Gallows & Anderson (and Omega if they wanted to pull that trigger). That way, Roman can stay top face like they want.

I wish everyone would stop getting their hopes up. Braun is most likely winning the rumble. Roman is beating Owens and the tile match for mania is Roman vs Braun.

Am I the only one who hopes Balor doesn't win the rumble? Whyyyyy should he? He already can use the "I never lost my title" clause, it'd be a waste in my opinion for him to win.

I mean, as long as WM is bound to be with the 2 hour pre-show, 4 hour scheduled PPV and 1 hour overrun, we will need a very long bathroom break match in there somewhere. |

Wait...this IS still Wfigs, right? The place where people bitched about the FREE chase belts in the basic figures last year being all gold? |
