If Undertaker wins the rumble, I'm not ordering Wrestlemania I bet Vince is trembling... lmao This year's Royal Rumble looks great. I'll give a run-down of the matches, what I think of them, and what I think their outcome will be. Read it if you want, but no one's forcing you to. Chris Jericho vs. JBLI'm excited to see this match because they're two guys we've never seen face off before, and I'm glad that WWE is giving us a new fued out of Jericho's return, rather than having him in the mid-card. This match, to me, is main event worthy. I was at Raw this past week when JBL dragged Y2J over to the truss (the gigantic, steel tower... look it up) and tried to hang him. As a matter of fact, I was right by the truss and got to see these two guys no less than 3 feet in front of me. It was an awesome sight and made me feel like part of the show, and I'm sure I'll be in the highlight video shown before the match at Royal Rumble. What a great way to remember things. So, yeah, I'm ecstatic about this match, and in my eyes, it won't disappoint on PPV. My Prediction: JBL Reasoning: I know this statement could be proven wrong with Y2J losing to Orton at Armageddon in his first PPV match back, but WWE is not going to have Y2J win this one if they plan on building up this fued to Wrestlemania 24. JBL's going to get the victory, whether it be by cheating, disqualification, etc., and the fued between the two will continue. Career Threatening Match:Ric Flair vs. MVPSmart move on WWE's part not having the United States Championship on the line. There is already a stipulation to this match that is very apparent: If MVP wins, he gets bragging rights that he ended the career of the legendary, 16-time World Champion, "The Nature Boy", Ric Flair. If Flair wins the match, his career continues. So there is a stipulation there, and so I think it is wise that they didn't put the US title up for grabs in this bout. If it was up for grabs, I think MVP would have a more likely chance at winning and retiring the career of Ric Flair, and also because Madison Square Garden is a helluva place for Flair to have his last match. But since the title isn't on the line, MVP stands no chance, whatsoever, thus bringing me to this... My Prediction: After a hard-fought victory, the legendary career of Ric Flair continues on... Reasoning: Already stated. World Heavyweight ChampionshipEdge (c) vs. Rey MysterioI have no clue why they chose Rey Mysterio as the rightful contender for Edge's title, but it is a better choice than Edge vs. Batista for the 4126527366th time, and these two do have a bit of history with each other. In 2003, Edge and Rey were a tag team, they've won the WWE Tag Team Championships together, were the reason Chris Nowinski broke his nose (LOL!) and although I can't remember off the top of my head, I'm sure they've had a few encounters between then and now. This should be an entertaining match with a few good spots from Rey. My Prediction: Edge Reasoning: To further build towards Edge vs. Undertaker for Wrestlemania 24. WWE ChampionshipRandy Orton (c) vs. Jeffery Nero HardyBelieve it or not, this is the match that I'm looking forward to the most. Yes, that's right. Even more so than the Royal Rumble match itself. My reason is because I grew up watching Jeff Hardy and he is one of my all-time favorite wrestling characters (notice how I didn't say wrestling technicians or any of that sort). It would be awesome to see someone I grew up watching and followed from their debut, to finally win the big one. To me, it would be the ultimate "feel-good" moment. I have multiple reasons to believe that Jeff Hardy will win the WWE Championship, as well as multiple reasons to believe that he won't. He could very well win the Championship from Orton because kids love him and he is the biggest babyface and dare I say, draw, aside from Cena, who is out of action for a good time. A lot of young kids look up to Jeff and if WWE wants to really hit hard on that "anything is possible" or "follow your dream" statement, then Jeff Hardy could wind up WWE Champion come January 27th, 2008. It certainly would be the place to do it, being the World's Most Famous Arena. Another reason I'm looking forward to this match is because it has gotten A LOT of attention from the people on this forum and to me that says something. A lot of people want to see Hardy as Champion and a lot prefer that it wouldn't happen. We will all find out come Royal Rumble time. My Prediction: Jeff Hardy Reasoning: Read above. Royal Rumble Match:This year's Rumble certainly isn't as star-studded as year's past. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Undertaker won for the second year in a row. With the *SPOILER* (highlight to see) Elimination Chamber being at No way Out, and Triple H officially out of this year's Royal Rumble, it would make sense for Triple H to earn his right at a World Championship match through *SPOILER* (please highlight) the Elimination Chamber, and have the Undertaker claim victory to the Royal Rumble, facing off against Edge at Wrestlemania 24. My Prediction: The Undertaker Reasoning: See above. ------------------------------------------------- So that is what I think will go down at the 22nd annual Royal Rumble event. If you took the time to read it, thank you, and it would be nice to hear what you think.

I don't know if this has been posted and I don't feel like going through 10 pages, but does anyone think will see JBL, Jericho, Flair and MVP in the Rumble?

I'm pretty sure that they are going to be the Rumble match. IIRC, it's fairly common that the guys not in World Championship matches on the card participate in the Royal Rumble as well.

I doubt Ric Flair will participate in the Rumble match as he is in a one on one match with MVP, and if he loses a match he ends his career. That also makes me thinkg MVP won't participate. JBL and Jericho will probably be in it though. - Vertan

What if Jeff loses his title match, but wins the rumble? He gets screwed in his first opportunity, but against all odds (seeing as though he is one of the biggest babyfaces in the company now) he wins the rumble to get his second chance at WM, where he wins. To be honest, I can't see Jeff Hardy going into WM as Champion, but i do see him leaving it as champ somehow...
Also in with a shout is Lashley (GOD NO!) and suprisingly enough Ric Flair. It would make sense for him to end his career in a championship match at WM.

Updated Rumble list: 30-Man Royal Rumble Umaga Snitsky Hardcore Holly Mick Foley Hornswoggle The Undertaker Batista Kane John Morrison The Miz Shelton Benjamin (Not Yet On WWE.com) Finlay Jamie Noble Cody Rhodes Santino Marella Carlito
Over a week has now passed since Jimmy Yang and Shannon Moore defeated John Morrison and The Miz in Canton, Ohio in a WWE Royal Rumble qualifying match. It appears that WWE are ignoring the situation as they have yet to make any mention of Jimmy Yang and Shannon Moore qualifying for the Royal Rumble match.

I still can't believe Hardy vs. Orton for the title is on the card.
I mean, it seems as though Hardy has no chance EVER in winning. But...I don't know. There's always that "if" factor.
I wonder who's going to win the rumble? I honestly have to idea this year.

I think they really should put the title on Hardy at the rumble, he is so popular and they are making him look really strong. I don't like him headlining mania though so I don't know what is going to happen.

Hardy vs Orton has a very special feel to it. It's going to be a great match and pretty exciting.

I haven't been as excited for a WWE Championship match like I have for this one in a long time. I like Orton as Champion, but it would be cool to see someone I've watched for the last 8 years and followed the career of, to finally win the big one.
