If I were booking things, I would actually have Jeff Hardy win the men's rumble. It would be a bit unpredictable but work. Plus most of all, his character and well his actual self fits in perfectly with the New Daniel Bryan for a hot feud for Mania season. Jeff got a DUI this year, and he's filled his bump card three times over. He's also unable to do his finish without sandbagging the guy taking it.
I wouldn't trust him with a 'mania title match.

I'll say, #30 being R-Truth seems genius.
I want Rob Van Dam in this Rumble! And also Christopher Daniels, why not.

Becky vs. Asuka at the Rumble should become the new Shelton Benjamin/John Morrison/Carlito return.

I am not sure if they trust him enough,but 100% yes the Men's Rumble winner could use an unpredictable winner(My pref is Kofi,Cesaro,A NXT Call Up or R Truth) next year. A part timer besides Dwayne Johnson winning it will piss fans off,and on the Raw Side none of the potential top guys besides Braun have elevated to a level to Headline WM

The Rumble is my single favourite gimmick in wrestling history. But this is helped by Rumble 2000 being the first WWF show I saw start-to-finish, and so being kinda my WWE anniversary. Coming up on my 20th anniversary! I'm glad 2 people with absolutely no chance of winning are #30 instead of a possible surprise. While I do agree it'll be nice not to be disappointed by #30 (way to blow the heat of one of your best Rumbles in years by having Dolph f***ing Ziggler show up, making his own storyline nonsensical) I'd still rather not be disappointed by them both before the match even starts. And I really like Carmella! Calling it right now: Tye Dillinger comes out at the no. 10 spot. I love Tye, but they've done this, so God I hope they don't do it again. I don't even want him in the match at all, except possibly to come in at nine and look furious about it. Especially if Randy Orton then murders him again immediately. Apparently on Main Event of all shows, they announced Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Vince: "SCREW REALLY TRYING, THIS IS REALLY HARD. Rematches are back." I don't think this is really fair. Becky wasn't pinned or submitted to lose her title, that's legitimately been a way to set up matches before regardless of the rematch clause.

I reckon someone will beat up R-Truth backstage and steal his spot.

I really hope that they are going with Mustafa Ali vs Daniel Bryan for the Royal Rumble. I don´t want any more rematches (just as they promised) and this has been build up really well. Give them 20 minutes and I believe that we can have a solid title defense for Bryan and a star making match for Ali.

Truth will accidentally enter the women's rumble, and will get a quick Santino like elimination. Maybe a double clothesline from Sasha and Bayley. As he is eliminated, Carmella will be at the entrance with a WTF face.

Buddy Murphy will be defending the Cruiserweight Championship on this card in a Fatal 4-Way, with three qualifying matches to be held over the next few weeks (already announced as Tozawa v Gulak, Kalisto v Rush and Alexander v Itami).

As he is eliminated, Carmella will be at the entrance with a WTF face. Truth enters the womens, distracts Carmella, both get eliminated quickly, and then Truth is barred from the mens Rumble as he's had his chance. Makes more sense if the new 30 is someone linked to the Authority like an HBK or Batista.

I’ll be frank, if something like that happens, I’ll doubt any credibility in them trying a Mixed Match Challenge for that prize again. No, it’s not the most important thing ever but if you spent MONTHS building to this outcome just to do a comedy spot and full the spot with the “right” person...like, what’s the point?

I'd be surprised if they did it NOT to do that, especially with who won! It's very WWE.

I hope there are many first-time participants in the Rumble.

Still.what are the chances Braun loses the title match, then takes #30 from Truth and wins the Rumble?

First off I love that the Rumble is in a baseball stadium. It's going to look awesome.
Now about the surprise entrants. Is anyone else worried about the reactions or pops that NXT men and women will get as Phoenix isn't really a hot bed of wrestling (atleast that I know off) and isn't a big smark city?

I doubt that any of the NXT guys will get pops on their entrances.
But on the bright side, it will mean Lars Sullivan getting the Conway Pop.

It’s possible, but the Rumble is such a marquee event for WWE, and one of the few that has tangible consequences for the next few months of TV (setting up WrestleMania title challengers), that I’d think there’d be a decent amount of hardcore fans that would be making the trip.

I would love it if R-Truth wins the mens rumble. Becoming best mates with Carmella has gotten him back over huge and R-Truth vs Daniel Bryan would be a great match.
