Honestly, a certain part of me keeps wanting to say how blatant they're being with the Reigns stuff lately is some elaborate way to swerve people with a more left-field pick like Ziggler, Ambrose, or a surprise Bryan return or something just due to how they're pretty much setting him up for the same sort of failure they got out of Sheamus and Batista winning it (and how there hasn't been a completely unexpected Rumble winner since 2008 and the last time before that was what, 2004? 1995?), but by the same token, I'm hesitant to actually think that because of how little self-awareness WWE actually has. I don't like Reigns, but I don't think that's fair to him for WWE to intentionally stir up resentment for the guy and set him up to fail. I don't think in this case it'd harm him. If he lost it'd probably drum up some support for him really since it'd come off like WWE's easing up on his push; he'll probably get booed at the Rumble either way and people'd pop when he got tossed but I don't think any longterm damage would be done.

So third straight year of the commercial outright telling you who's going to win the Rumble, right? commercial possibly. But posterwise? No, the rock didn't win the rumble in 2013... and Batista wasn't on the poster for 2014....

No joke, this is the style of poster I miss the most. It showcases a bunch of wrestlers (which is how you sell an important battle royal) and is rendered as an awesome piece of art, rather than a Photoshop job.

Wanted a title with "YOU'RE WELCOME!" Close enough.

Yeah because WWE never did this endlessly during the Attitude era..... Please. Let's stop being silly, gang. I don't know if you were supporting the comment you quoted or not, but these posters don't really give away the winner at all.

Also, apparently this is fake. Check out the link to DeviantArt where the artist mentions it's fake. Still better than the one WWE made for Fast Lane.

That chick with the "I'm only happy when it Reigns" sign is going to be ecstatic.
