WWE Royal Rumble Predictions

This Sunday night is WWE’s annual Royal Rumble and it also starts the Road to Wrestlemania. Here are my predictions for the Royal Rumble.

30-man Royal Rumble match -The winner will receive a world championship match of their choosing at WrestleMania XXVI
Originally I thought 28 men had been confirm but WWE has only confirmed 24 of them so I apologize for misleading anyone. Anyways, the way I see it going down is the last two men in the ring will be Triple H and Shawn Michaels. It’s been building up for two weeks on TV now so it makes sense. I expect the six spots left in the Rumble to be some big surprises. I hope they do surprise us otherwise it will be another let down by WWE. If I had to choose between Shawn and Triple I am going to go with Shawn because he hasn’t had any major storyline, or accomplishment in a long time and he’s overdue.

Christian (c) vs. Ezekiel Jackson for the ECW Championship
I am going to say Christian will keep his title because Ezekiel Jackson is a great wrestler for a big man but he cannot carry a TV show on Tuesday that already struggles with ratings as it is. Christian has been a great champion and has become a much better wrestler since returning to WWE a year ago.

The Undertaker (c) vs. Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship
I think Rey Mysterio will shock the world and become World Heavyweight Champion again. Batista will probably interfere and cost the Undertaker the title and then go after Rey down the road playing the you’re easier to beat angle. It should also be noted that the Undertaker is in really bad shape and really can’t work a whole lot like he has before. I look for the biggest shocker in WWE history too take place when this match is over.

Sheamus (c) vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship
This match has me confused because it’s a heel vs. heel and the WWE never does that. The fans are solidly behind Randy Orton right now and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is the baby-face in this match. If he is the heel in this match then I wouldn’t be surprised if Ted Dibiase turns on Randy Orton in this match and becomes a face like they have been trying to do for the last two months. No matter what happens, I believe the Legacy splits up at the Rumble. Okay, I know you want me to say who will win so I believe Sheamus will keep the WWE title and remain champion until the next WWE PPV.

Michelle McCool (c) vs. Mickie James for the WWE Women’s Championship
Well Mickie James is scheduled to leave to WWE very soon so it’s obvious that she won’t win the Women’s title. The way WWE has been treating here is horrible. You should never pick on anyone about their weight even if it is a storyline. I really hope Mickie becomes very successful at her country music career and possibly even go to TNA Wrestling where she’ll be appreciated.

Well those are my predictions, love them, hate them but I am glad you read them. Check back Monday for my Royal Rumble Recap and my plans for covering Wrestlemania 26. It’s time to Rumble, it’s time for the Royal Rumble.
