Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Cena broke Stone Cold's record last night for Shortest Victorious Rumble Appearance.

I am so ing happy that Cena is back... I am so stoked. His return was a shock which is a rare thing in this day and age and I am glad, can't wait till 'Mania when Cena beats Orton for HIS WWE Title BTW, I just finished watching the Royal Rumble which was the first PPV I've seen since No Mercy (Kinda funny, Last PPV I watched was the first PPV with Cena not as champ in a long time and the next one I see is Cena's return) and I thought it was a damn fine card and the finish was electric... Unbelievable, welcome back Cena

Well predictable Triple H buried everyone in the rumble and had himself come out on top ... oh wait.
Cena returning was glorius and unexpected. And him winning the Royal Rumble was great because he is in the category of the greats and the reaction was amazing. I have a feeling we'll see Cena vs Triple H at Mania which I'm fine with since out of the top 4 Raw guys (Cena, Triple H, Orton & Michaels) it's been the least done, or maybe a triple threat match.
The Rumble itself was neither here nor there, Edge/Mysterio was a good match as well. Overall decent PPV not the best but still good.

Oh for FU** sake. All that momentum WWE had built up, and all the atmosphere has been lost IMO. This Rumble was a big anticlimax. I knew Flair was going to win, and having MVP get the 3-count but it being "reversed" is perfect, as it gets Flair over, plus it doesn't make MVP seem as weak as he would have done just tapping. Did anybody else hear the announcer saying "M-V- T" instead of MVP lol? Jericho/JBL- I called submission win for Y2J, but got the next best thing. They were the two viable options IMO. A DQ where Jericho snaps or a submission via the walls. Either way happy Jericho went over against JBL- Who has severe case of moobs, btw Tbh I enjoy this fued and don't think we've seen the last of it. Maybe a NO HOLDS BARRED at WM? Who knows... Edge/Mysterio- First off, I liked this match. I liked the finish especially with the mid-air spear. Secondly; why the f*** can't they just leave the Guerrero name at peace, where it is revered and respected? Oh, and why does Edge now do the Kurt Angle fireworks point during his entrance? Good match though. Hardy/Orton- I knew Hardy didn't have a chance in hell at winning. However I do think this match was somewhat anti-climactic. It wasn't as intense as thier fued had been previously. In any event, a good match and I loved the finish with the RKO- EXACTLY as I expected it to go down. I think they have to build Orton up as a credible Champion. It's all about perception. If he gets a few clean wins over the top face it would draw more heat for Orton IMO simply because he is so cocky and people know he is good, therefore can't wait to see him knocked off. The only thing people hate more than a cocky champion who hangs onto his title by a thread (Like JBL for e.g.) is a cocky champion who does nothing but brag about himself but actually has some rights to be so cocky. Same goes for Edge, who seems to be getting a few clean wins now. Rumble match- Taker 1st= WTF!!!! HBK 2nd= I predicted this about a minute after Taker's gong sounded as no#1 Khali getting eliminated so early was bull**** (Not because I like him but because he was the biggest man in the arena and he eliminated like 8 men in 2 minutes last year- but now look at him) Big Fatty V being eliminated by HHH= LOL Taker/HBK was actually well-done how they were eliminated. I thought we may have had a Taker/HBK setup for WM but nah Und'i destroyed Snitters instead. By the way I CALLED KENNEDY ELIMINATING HBK about a week ago lol Cena- I am not a Cena Mark by any stretch. I like him. I think he is a great guy behind the curtain and the sort of guy i'd probs want to have a beer with. I like his character, and he is good for the WWE. He definately needs to learn some more moves though. I don't get the logic behind the HUGE Cena fans. They seem to be so led along by the WWE hyping him up each and every single damn week as Superman. It's like they think "He wins all the time so he must be a good wrestler yay" Don't you EVER get tired of his matches? Are you really too much of a mark too see that he only has 5 wrestling moves? Don't you EVER get sick of seeing him win EVERYTHING? I like him in small doses, but I am sick and tired of the same old stuff from him, he wins every damn time. If he learned some more moves and actually learned something about wrestling then I would accept him more. I will cry if we have to endure another lengthy reign from him. He just makes everybody else look like S**t. For example, Last year at WM, he made HBK tap out. The year before he made HHH tap out. He also made KURT ANGLE TAP several times in main events during thier fued. That, to me is just a fu**ing slap in my face. To have him win is one thing, but to have him make legends such as HBK and the greatest technical wrestler of all time tap out is too far. The WM main event- Well no doubt were facing the prospect of HHH and Cena in the main events. But tbh I see there being more guys worked in somewhere. Look at the big picture- HHH Cena Edge- WHC Orton- WWE Champ The logic would suggest Orton/Cena and Edge/HHH or Edge/Cena and Orton/HHH. But... What about Taker, Punk, Jeff, HBK, Batista? You can't tell me that ALL these guys are going to miss out on WM main event action? Also, I reckon a Tista heel turn soon. Oh, and what are the odds of a Rey turn? The way he was acting last night after Vickie got involved was rather heelish. Coupled with the resounding boos... A few thoughts from me

3. I marked out for Cena returning. I actually wasn't expecting that, and that he eliminated HHH as well. Very nice. Glad to see him back. It will make my trip to Wrestlemania that much better. Amen. It was a nice surprise. I've always been a big Cena fan, but will agree that he has become watered down and repetitive. Despite that, it was still awesome to see him back, because he's the only big star in the wwe currently that I still enjoy watching. You guys can complain all you want about Cena being the same old crap, but you should be glad to have an unexpected ending, something you always complain the WWE never has. Especially since it was looking like Triple H was going to win. And I don't mind Triple H, but you'd have to agree that him winning the Rumble would've been predictable and unexciting. And to those to say he didn't get a big pop are lying. Yes he got booed more, It's NYC for christ's sake.. but his music hitting, and him standing in the isle got a great reaction.

Wrestlemania 24 Spoiler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cena Regains the WWE Championship after an FU to Randy Orton. Or how about Cena regains the WWE title before WrestleMania and heads into WrestleMania as the WWE champ and then takes on The Undertaker. Title vs. Undefeated streak?? I can see it coming a MILE away. It is so obvious that match will happen. 'Taker wants to retire soon and I'm sure he's got to lose at some point. It makes sense if you think about it. 'Taker will lose to a young guy that still has many years left in his career and Cena would be THE guy, if anyone, to beat 'Taker's unbeaten streak. Trust me, it'll be WWE Champion John Cena defending the title against The Undertaker's unbeaten streak and 'Taker will lose by tapping out to the S.T.F.U. If you think that match won't happen, you are only fooling yourselves. I've been watching wrestling for a long damn time and I can see this match happening for sure. If it does happen, don't say I didn't warn you. It's an interesting Idea, but I don't think the WWE will change the long time formula WrestleMania. Meaning that the Winner of the Rumble always gets a shot at Mania, not at No Way Out or on RAW. Plus, I don't think they'd move either Undertaker or Cena from their respective brands..

Are you seriously alluding to Triple H being an ego maniac when he just let John Cena make him his bitch AGAIN? I mean, damn, "well, its better than Triple H winning again." Anti-H marks think they have everything figured out, but whenever he loses, they always have something stupid to say. Not all of this is directed at you in particular, but still, I'm seeing more comments like yours than there really should be.

Ah you got my comment all wrong it was intended to be a sarcastic comment. Because people before the Rumble were saying Triple H would make himself win and making it seem predictable, I was saying what they were saying and then putting the Oh wait there to say that it wasn't that at all. I agree with everything you've said I've constantly found people bitching about Triple H and I've been arguing against them for a while now and I'm not even a huge Triple H fan. Just saying you took it the wrong way but I should've made it clearer.

Cena returning actually was unexpected. Kudos WWE. HOWEVER. Him winning was good, MAINLY because he never won the Rumble. I just hate the fact that they're basically going to make Cena unstoppable again....

This PPV was filled with so many botches it wasnt even funny. Well, actually it was, but still.
The whole event was lame. the best part was the royal rumble match itself. The whole PPV was so predictible that i guessed everything that would happen next.
My prediction is cena is going to win at NWO and will face HHH at WM23

what was the point of the rumble, if the person wins now gets to use his chance at another PPV besides mania.

While I did enjoy Cena's absence I'll admit I marked out like a little kid when his music hit. Anyone that was at the Garden on Sunday and says they didn't mark out is lying, the roof damn near came off that place and I'm incredibly happy that I was there for that.
Plus having him take out Triple H was great, I'll take the lesser of two evils any day.

I will be admit it, I was totally shocked, but I wasn't happy to see him, because I knew what the outcome was going to be.
