WWE continues to modify their WrestleMania 24 plans. The proposed Triple H vs Batista match has been shelved and now Randy Orton vs Triple H is back on the cards for the Raw main event, although a three-way Randy Orton vs Triple H vs Batista bout has been discussed as well. Smackdown's main event is still almost certainly going to be Edge vs The Undertaker and there is talk of using some special gimmick for it, possibly a Hell in the Cell to play off of the Survivor Series finish. However, since they are planning to use the Elimination Chamber for the No Way Out main event, they might not want to bring back the Cell again so soon afterwards. One plan that is set in stone is the winner of the Royal Rumble getting an automatic WrestleMania title shot against his own brand's champion, with the other brand's main challengers then competing in the Elimination Chamber for the other spot. However, there is a better chance than originally thought that John Cena might be able to appear at WrestleMania in some capacity. He has been working exceptionally hard to get back into peak condition after his surgery, with Stephanie McMahon and Brian Gerwitz holding out hope that he might at least be able to show up for a run-in to continue his program with Orton.

Taker to win the rumble then? Assuming Raw gets the chamber.

No, Hunter to win the Rumble then Undertaker to win the elimination chamber.
What's more interesting to me here though is that Batista is going to Raw?

No, I'd bet on Triple H winning the Rumble and Taker possibly winning the elimination chamber match at No Way Out in order to get his title shot at WM.

I thought RAW were having the Chamber... =/ I've read two conflicting reports, one stated the chamber would have SD superstars and a more recent report stating that it would be Raw superstars. I'm going to echo the people that said HHH looks a likely Rumble winner this year. I don't see Edge losing the title and then going on to win Rumble and then headlining WM with Taker, I also don't see Taker winning it twice in a row. |

I think a raw chamber would be better. From an in ring perspective.

I...think I'll just wait and see.
WM is still some months away. Things can 'change' at any moment.

Do a triple threat with Batista, Triple H, and Randy Orton, but then have Ric Flair win the Money in the Bank ladder match and challenge the winner of the main event to a title match right there and then. It'll probably end up being Triple H since he's a Flair mark, so Hunter will end up giving Ric his retirement match afterall.

No matter what the plans are for WrestleMania, I'm certain Nunzio, Charlie Haas and Dave Taylor will not be involved.....

I'm sure they'll be a backstage skit involving Mae Young where if you pause at the right time, you can see the three of them standing around pretending to be having a conversation in the background. |

Orton/HHH sounds like a pretty boring main event, mainly the Orton part.

HHH or Batista winning the rumble would be a real disappointment...

It'll probably end up being Triple H since he's a Flair mark, so Hunter will end up giving Ric his retirement match afterall. This gets proposed a lot, but it woudl take a very creative finish to make Ric Flair winning the MITB AND a World Title match on the same night even remotely believable. |

so my guesstimate for the card right now
Orton vs Triple H
Edge vs Taker
Punk vs Shelton
JBL vs Jericho
Flair vs HBK
Candice vs Beth
8 man MITB

Could we see a double win forthe rumble? Batista and Hunter both win, hence the triple threat that's rumoured?

HHH vs anyone as a main event, to me, equals boring regardless
