I bet it's gonna be Cena. He'll win the RR and go on to face AJ Styles at WM. Cena will win the sweet 16 and Flair will be there to hand it to him.
Quote it.

I've already said I'd be shocked if either of AJ Styles or Kevin Owens made it to Wrestlemania as Champion. We should know by now that the guys we generally want to be in the title picture such as Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Edge etc carry the company for the tough, large part of the year, but come Wrestlemania Season it's all about making as much money and drawing in as many casual viewers as possible, and the likes of John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, The Rock, Roman Reigns, Triple H, Batista etc instantly take first priority.
I was fairly sure Finn Balor would be tipped to win it following his injury and the timing, but I'm now pretty sure it's going to be one of either Goldberg, John Cena or Undertaker, depending which way they want to go and how they want to set up Undertaker vs John Cena.
As of now, come Wrestlemania, I think we'll get something like;
WWE World Championship Undertaker (C) vs John Cena
WWE Universal Championship Roman Reigns vs Goldberg
AJ Styles vs Randy Orton (Unless Taker wins the Title at the Rumble with HBK's help, leading to AJ Styles vs Shawn Michaels, and Cena winning the Rumble)
Triple H vs Seth Rollins
Brock Lesnar vs Shane McMahon
Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho

It's either going to be Cena or Balor. Balor, that injury to Rumble win that we've seen before or Cena for the Taker/Cena match.

Roman reigns will tie Austins record by 2018. And break it by 2019. And all of u will cheer him because Vince says so.

I'm predicting Undertaker beats AJ for the belt, and Cena wins the Rumble to challenge the deadman at WrestleMania. I'm not entirely sold on Cena vs Taker, I think it's the big missed opportunity to not have done that match when the streak was alive. But I know between now and Mania, they would get me completely hooked on their match, especially if it was JC fighting for #16.
Other than that, I'd be surprised if it was anyone other than Balor or Nakamura.
The Goldberg wanting the title thing just seems like obvious setup for Brock eliminating him to me, and them having their big final battle at Mania.

Well let's look at the possible top stars in the Rumble and this is with Owens and Styles going into the Rumble as Champion.
Goldberg and Lesnar will take each other out if both are in it. If just Goldberg, Lesnar will stop him. Roman Reigns won't be main eventing anymore Wrestlemanias until a heel turn. Triple H got cheered last year and everybody knows it. Seth Rollins will be in a feud with Triple H leading into Mania. Chris Jericho is a dark horse unless Owens turns on him before Mania. John Cena will be in it but I see him going into a feud with Undertaker for Mania. Dean Ambrose has as much chance as James Ellsworth at the moment. Bray Wyatt or Randy Orton has a great chance but I see one of them turning on the other costing both. Braun Strowman will win a battle royal next year, just not the Royal Rumble. Sami Zayn/Dolph Ziggler/Cesaro have no chance but will be highlights of the Rumble. Not main event guys in WWE's eyes. The Miz would be a good choice but with heels dominating the top titles it looks like he will be staying in the mid card. With all these guys out I could see Finn Balor/Samoa Joe/Shinsuke Nakamura winning the Rumble. All 3 of those men could have past history with the Champions. Either one of those guys could pull out 5 star matches with Styles or Owens.

Ric Flair has a better chance of entering and winning the Rumble than Cena. I believe that Undertaker will do something. It's finally the year of Cena versus Taker.

So its realistic because... you said so? I stopped taking your post seriously when you couldn't differentiate "Their" from "There". Could be Joe, could be Balor, could be Rollins, could be Reigns again, could be Cena, could be a mystery. I don't really see there being one clear cut predictable winner yet. Honestly, this is one of the bigger things the brand split ripple effect has done to make me happy with it: Rumble winner uncertainty. While it's clearly down to a few this year, last year there was really only one expected outcome, as was the year before, even if you were hoping against hope that they wouldn't happen. I realize the internet is going to start generating more and more rumors with vague detail as time passes, and we as fans will dissect it to death until someone out there has come up with the obvious winner, but until that point, I can be happy with the unknown.

However Nakamura would be a bad choice because I imagine it will take a while for the non NXT fans to get a connection with him so he would basically be an unknown guy winning the Rumble.

Honestly the way I would set it up is that I would have Balor winning it as a surprise entrant but with him entering as The Demon King in his demon persona but Balor returning at either #30 or if that is too obvious Balor returning at the lucky number #27 since no one has won from the #27 position since Austin in 2001

I really hope its neither of them actually. Joe hasn't made it to the main roster yet. And although I could see him being a surprise entrant in the Rumble, I don't see him winning. As far as Balor goes, when he first got called up to the main roster they strapped a rocket to his butt and made him number 1 contender his first night. Then later that month he won the title. If he returns at the Rumble and wins it to go on to the Title match at Mania....I just don't like it. Dude's good, but its too much too soon.

How do you figure? The man never lost his title he was forced to surrender it due to injury...a Balor win is perfect it sets up his road to WrestleMania it sets up his path to redemption to redeeming himself especially considering Balor had to sit at home watching as his WWE Universal Championship a championship he never even lost being awarded to someone else and being powerless to do anything about it and not to mention he has been off TV for a good while now so him winning the Royal Rumble Match to go on to WrestleMania in the main event is actually perfect

Joe would be perfect because not only is he a legit monster of destruction he also doesn't belong to a show which would make things interesting. For the first few weeks after the Rumble he could appear on both Raw and Smackdown and intimidate the champions. Seeing him and AJ Styles standing face to face in a WWE ring would be awesome too.
