What is wrong here?So now at The Rumble we now have a heel v heel and babyface v babyface matches in the main title matches on the same show?This is weird.Maybe Vince finally has changed his mind about heel v heel and face v face matches.Or will Cena and/or Batista get involved somehow and make them both 3 Ways?Just seems odd hed book both of these matches on the biggest PPV of the year.

The Royal Rumble has usually been the ppv where they try different people in the main event, so there still star power in the Rumble match.

When it comes down to titles, I don't think it should matter. Just because one superstar is a heel shouldn't mean that any other heels cannot challenge for the title unless they turn lol.

I'd like to see how both of these matches are going to be put out.

The Royal Rumble has almost always always had "tester" title matches.
2003 - Triple H vs SCOTT STEINER
2004 - Brock Lesnar vs HARDCORE HOLLY
2005 - None (JBL/Big Show/Angle and HHH/RKO)
2006 - Kurt Angle vs MARK HENRY
2007 - Batista vs MR KENNEDY, John Cena vs UMAGA
2008 - Randy Orton vs JEFF HARDY
2009 - None (Edge/Jeff and Cena/JBL)
2010 - Randy Orton vs SHEAMUS (although Sheamus is Champion)

But if it was, he damn sure passed. |

He was so over it was unreal, but it was definitely a tester match. Agreed that he passed it with flying colours though.

I don't really see Cena or Batista getting involved in those matches because they need some star power for the Rumble.
I don't know what the deal is here...at least it is interesting.
I will probably get flamed for this by all the Sheamus bandwagoners, but maybe Orton can get a good match out of Casper. Sheamus pretty much sucks.
And Undertaker-Rey will be good. Neither one of them has really had a bad match in years, and it is rarely their fault.

I am interested in how these matches go at RR, because they are different.

Thing is, this isn't even the first heel vs. heel title match at the Royal Rumble. At the 2001 Rumble, Kurt Angle defended the belt against HHH, and it turned out to be a decent match.

What's nice about these matches is:
A.) I'll get to see them live.
B.) Sheamus v. Orton is a smart choice I think. This gives the Rumble more star power and makes it less predictable w/John Cena in it.
C.) Taker v. Rey is sure to be a good match. This gives the Rumble more star power and makes it less predictable w/Batista in it.

All RR Championships matches have been like. Thats why i always liked the Royal Rumble . Another one is Bret Hart vs Razor Ramon in 1993

For some reason I think if the matches are unchanged I see Orton and Mysterio winning their respective titles and then loosing them at 'mania.

I have zero interest in either match. I'm not complaining that Batista is temporarily out of the title picture, though.

I know im just pumped for Rey vs. Taker. I know Rey isnt walking out as champ, but these guys have barely touched and i can see them having a great match. Will also give Rey a little more credibility in the main event after this.

Batista will now be in the Rumble because they need as much big time stars as possible in the Rumble match. Triple Threat Matches are waste in the Royal Rumble , especially guys like Batista who would make the Rumble interesting |
