If Bryan isn't in the Rumble, that would mean he sadly was concussed after all. But thankfully there's the Chamber. I've said this before, but if he really was concussed, wouldn't putting him in the Rumble be safer than giving him a singles match? |

I'm actually not really looking forward to the Bryan/Bray match. I just can't see them giving those two adequate time. Also, it's a guaranteed screwjob finish.

Has anybody thought about the fact that Vince is a greedy bastard who would advertise Bryan to work the PPV, only to have the Wyatt Family "jump him" back stage, leaving Bryan unable to compete at the Rumble?
I'm of the mindset that Punk has a good chance of winning the Rumble and Lesnar's gonna win the belt off of Orton next month.
Giving us a rematch from last years SummerSlam, and 2013's match of the year, the Beast vs. the Best II.
Punk wins at Mania, leaving the stage set for him and Bryan to cross paths a few months later, for the title.
Punk wins clean, but barely, Bryan asks for a rematch, and it's granted.
This time, Punk wins dirty, setting the stage for a Punk heel turn, and the real Bryan/Punk feud to begins.

Something I noticed last night that might change some predictions. Elimination Chamber is in Minneapolis, Brock's home town.

If Bryan is not in the Rumble, then I predict Batista will win.

So with Punk number one, who gets spot two? I'm thinking either the NAO coming in at 2 and 3 or Shield taking 2-4 Why not just toss a couple heels in a row - whether they're ones who are feuding with Punk already or not - to give it the sense that he Authority is unfairly stacking the decks against Punk right off the bat. Say, #2 is Ryback, #3 is Axel (so it's 2 on 1), #4 is Rollins, #5 is Sandow, with a face finally coming in with #6 or 7. |

I would like that a lot, it's like the binary opposite of what happened when he was SES Promo Punk in the Rumble. With this time Punk as the face doing marathon eliminations (except from Rollins) and the next entrants being faces. |

^ containing the complete By The Numbers Video Package. Also Bryan is in the finalized version of the Royal Rumble Match graphics twice, as seen below. Opposite Punk at the front at the start, and once hiding at the back once words morph at the end.  |

Right now I'm going to guess
CM Punk is going to be the marathon man, aka the man who lasts the longest time.
Xavier Woods will be the guy that is thrown out as soon as he enters.
Roman Reigns will have the most eliminations.
Kofi Kingston will once again have the most fancy elimination save
Batista will eliminate Del Rio but Del Rio will come back and eliminate Batista leading to a match at elimination chamber.

If Batista wins, he'll be the second oldest Rumble winner ever behind Vince McMahon at the ripe age of 45.

If Batista wins, he'll be the second oldest Rumble winner ever behind Vince McMahon at the ripe age of 45. And he would be the multiple Rumber winner with the most years between Rumble wins (9 years). Right now, Cena holds this distinction with five years between Rumble wins. |

Haven't gone through all the pages, but as a resident of the Steel City, here's some notes that may be of interest: Sheamus and Jericho will be at the World of Wheels car show in Pittsburgh next Friday and Saturday. Matt Hardy will be hosting some kind of viewing party at a bar across the street from the Consol Arena. Rumble entrants?  |

I think they'll pull a HBK 2003 on CM Punk.
Have him distracted by a Authority member then someone eliminates him from behind.

Hopefully the fancy save by Kofi either is the most over the top, or has a hilarious failure attached to it.

I'd laugh myself stupid if Daniel Bryan's music played and then the Barrett podium extended and he said: "I know that you want to see Daniel Bryan in the Royal Rumble match, but I'm afraid I've got some bad news...."
