There needs to be an end to the Christian speculation. There is NO WAY he is winning the Royal Rumble. End of. If WWE can't even be sure he'll be ready for WrestleMania, why would they have plans for him in one of their biggest matches? Not to mention he's a glorified midcarder. It's not going to happen. John Cena and Edge were both supposedly not even close to being ready to wrestle at WrestleMania much less the Royal Rumble. They both still returned and won. |

Christian will NEVER win the Rumble, much less this year(if he was healthy). The Christian blindness is just crazy Christian is arguably the most deserving star on the roster to never win the World title. As someone said, he's over, super talented and he oozes charisma. The only ones that are blind are Vince and his creative team. If Christian retires having never won the strap, it'll be a travesty. I SO wish he could come back, but I don't think WWE's trying to throw us off. Ever since Cena returned to win the Rumble "early" from his injury, everyone thinks they exaggerate an injury and the recovery time. I don't think they believe Christian is a big enough star to go through the trouble of keeping his return a huge secret. I hope I'm wrong, though, of course. |

John Cena and Edge were both supposedly not even close to being ready to wrestle at WrestleMania much less the Royal Rumble. They both still returned and won. Both are established main eventers and believable Rumble winners. Christian isn't. And just because they returned doesn't mean every other injured superstar will return early and win the Royal Rumble. I think people need to give up on the fascination with Christian. He is talented but he's never going to be a big draw and he's never going to be the super main eventing World Champion that everybody thinks he is. |

I hate to hear that about Captain charisma. He is one of my all time favorites, and i hope he recovers soon, and finally gets that Worlds title. he deserves it.
It would be sweet if this was all a work, as some mentioned, last year they said Edge wouldnt be back in time for Mania. then strolled in to the Rumble and won.
I will say this though, as much as I love Christian, it would kind of blow for WWE to once more let someone suprisingly enter who has been hurt and then win. its been done a lot recently with Cena and Edge doing just that.
No matter what though, I hope Christian is back soon with gold around his waist. and not just any Gold, but World heavyweight Gold.

Not sure whether its true that Christian won't be in the Rumble. I hope he is, he's one of my favs and I feel he would do great in main events. Sucks if he is out for awhile.. Don't really know anything about the new guy(Batista look alike) but he's probably still better than Otunga at this point. meh

In or not. He has zero chance of winning the match. At best, he eliminates Del Rio. He could come and go adrift of story threads in the match. Still very touch and go with his chances of getting MITB this year with the other non-world champion guys circling the main event fringes.

Christian may be 'deserving" but that can be said for lots of people. I like him but its a known fact Vince only thinks of him as a mid carder and much to small and skinny. Theres a reason the farthest push hes ever got has been as I-C and ECW champ in his whole WWE career.
Jim Ross stands a better chance of winning The Rumble than he does.

Ok, I LOVE Christian, I really do. He deserves it. But there is no way he will ever win the Rumble, or a Main World Title, because Vince & creative do not see him as champion. I want to, but he NEVER will. People thinking he's going to surprise everybody and win the Rumble are crazy. He was struggling with Drew McIntyre when he left. He's not going to hop right into title contention and face Edge at Wrestlemania.
If he's back at all, he'll be in the Money in the Bank, and NOT win it. That match will go to Del Rio or Sheamus or Morrison. You know, someone being pushed. He'll never make it past mid card, despite having all the talent in the world. Hope all you want, but its not happening this year.

It's 2011 onwards WWE. Everyone wins the strap eventually.

Christian had the same surgery that Cena had a few years back, with the torn pectoral, how long did it take him to return?

Jericho and Batista are out of the rumble too.
Look at Jericho's book schedule in February! I don't think he will pop by for the rumble, win it and disappear for his book signing tour.
I'm going with Cena to win the rumble.

Christian will NEVER win the Rumble, much less this year(if he was healthy). The Christian blindness is just crazy To be fair, I just think a lot of people think he deserves a World title run due to him being a very over, very talented, very charismatic superstar who has been fairly successful in his time in WWE. All he needs now is a World title. I see no reason why WWE couldn't build an Edge/ Christian fued/ storyline going into WrestleMania 27, it has the potential to be fantastic. I've been saying MVP deserved a run for years because he had of all those qualities, and everybody jumped down my neck for it, saying that he doesn't "draw" PPVS and that he's too old. What makes Christian any different? |

- WWE development feels that Mason Ryan is a long way from being ready for the big time. It's said that Ryan is a nice guy who understand his limitations and shortcomings. Last summer when he won the FCW Heavyweight Title, he couldn't understand why he was being pushed and recognized that most other guys in developmental were better than him. - Several WWE officials are under the impression that Christian won't be back in time for this year's WrestleMania event. His situation is described as "touch and go." Wrestlezone So i guess that takes Christian out of the rumble. My respect for Mason Ryan just shot way up. I've always considered him a big, bulky, younger version of Batista that found his job because he was big, bulky and younger than Batista. It's nice knowing that he's willing to wait until he is ready rather than accept the superstardom thrust upon him by WWE. Still, if he sucks in the ring, I'm not going to like him unless, like Batista, he can pull together a character at the last minute and make it work. I don't think he's ready yet, few FCW guys are with Tyler Black being one of the exceptions (though his mic work needs practice). |
