This time last year, there were a few feuds in place that seemed to be a logical "road to WrestleMania". Then Vince being Vince, decided to impose his nonsensical vision for the WrestleMania card upon us. I expect the same thing to happen this year.
So I could see him booking this nightmare: KO wins the Championship at the Rumble. Shane enters the Royal Rumble, wins and faces KO at Mania. Daniel Bryan will be the special referee.

Like the last 2-3 years, they take easy/money making booking and turn it into a crapshow. I fully expect the same thing this year. Bálor should win the Rumble, giving us The Demon dethroning The Beast at WrestleMania. Instead, it’ll be Roman. Leaving Finn getting either Kane or The Miz. Nakamura should get Styles, in a face vs. face Championship match. Instead, Nakamura will probably get Orton at Mania and Styles will probably get someone like Corbin for the title, after Corbin wins some #1 Contender match on SmackDown Live after the Rumble. #bangarang

I wonder if Samoa Joe will be in the Royal Rumble Match? If Joe is in the Royal Rumble Match then he could be a darkhorse to win it all and if WWE were smart they would have Samoa Joe win it. Why? To set up the rematch of all rematches with Brock plain and simple. Who here didn't love that Joe/Lesnar match back at Great Balls of Fire 2017? I know I did however short it was but if given enough time then their rematch would be even better

To reportedly have Lesnar be excited about a match at this point in Brock's career, to deliver both in the ring and on the mic consistently, to preserve the image of a badass when WWE always paints heels as cowardly chickencraps, dude deserves a bone. Definitely won't be the Universal Championship right now, but I can see him being the next guy to have the IC Championship. At least he should've been; not sure if that ship has sailed after last Monday.

Didn't want to create a new thread but can we talk about Kane and how he's not in the actual Rumble match when he's got one of the most impressive RR stats!
Do you think he will still be in it after losing the title match?

Do you think he will still be in it after losing the title match? Most likely. Just like Reigns last year. I’m sure Kane will eliminate guys like Balor and Nakamura too. And it will come fown to him, Cena and Reigns in the final 3.

If they truly want to make the Royal Rumble Match for the women entertaining or at the very least special then they shouldn't rush it and why I say that? If they rush the entrances and the whole entire finish on it people will be calling for its demise straight away. Furthermore, if they truly want to make this a match that people can go and say that this match can be just as good as the Men's Royal Rumble Match then the women need to have the same amount of time on their match too. I mean a full hour or more for 30 women to fight it out just as the men do.
Imagine if an entrant from the #1 position in the 30-Women Royal Rumble Match were to outlast 29 other divas doing what Michaels and Benoit did? Or doing what Mysterio or Flair did winning it from the #2 or #3 position lasting that long?
However, what I will give to WWE is that with the women's match anyone can realistically win it and that is what makes it so unpredictable in its nature in its entirety.
30 women...1 winner and the winner she gets a title match in the main event of WrestleMania
But what WWE needs to do for the winner is that whoever wins it she should tease both the RAW Women's Champion and the Smackdown Women's Champion depending on which diva from what brand wins it. Like for example a RAW diva winning it and she shows up on both shows meaning she can tease her brand's champion but then show up on Smackdown the next night and tease the WWE Smackdown Women's Champion basically telling her that I can challenge you too if I so choose. Or vice versa if a Smackdown diva wins it she could tease her brand's champion but then jump over to RAW and surprise the RAW Women's Champion basically telling her that I can challenge you too at Mania since I earned the right last night by throwing 29 other women over that top rope.

Here's an idea for Bliss and Charlotte-put them in the rumble match and if either of them wins, they can pick whoever they want to face at wrestlemania. Since they don't have matches, it would be a shame if they weren't in the first ever match.

Probably a good portion of NXT girls will be involved True. I’m hoping for some cool surprises, Legit surprises. Not like Trish or Lita but maybe Kharma or something Meltzer has said NXT is being given 8-9 spots in the women's Rumble, and that there are only 2-3 spots for returning stars. I guess we could see the balance shift a little, but this sort of seems like the direction they're going in. I suspect the idea is that you don't want to have a bunch of big returns for women and then get fans hopes up that something similar will occur in the men's Rumble later in the night. I'd guess the most likely candidates are Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, and the Bellas.
