I got Daniel Bryan as my 1A in winning the Rumble since he's been so vocal about this being his last run and him and Roman at Mania is a money fued

Keith Lee vs Drew could be interesting. Wouldn't rule out WWE shenanigans in Lee getting a W and Drew winning the Rumble to face Roman at Mania

But, could we possibly see Miz successfully cashing in between now and Mania? Then DB winning the Rumble, and then the WWE title match at Mania is Miz/Bryan.  Keep in mind the Miz is DB's greatest rival, so the story pretty much writes itself if this is the last chapter in his career.

And it all adds up to Goldberg winning, beating Roman at WM, and pissing off everyone YET AGAIN.

[SirLucas]

I am sticking with my WM predictions.
Drew McIntrye vs. Roman Reigns (c) for the Universal Title
The Miz (c) vs. Daniel Bryan for the WWE Title.

[Push R Truth]

I still think Charlotte will win the Rumble. Not that I want her to.

I’ll say Ronda wins and challenges Asuka or Charlotte at Mania.

[mistery]

I honestly don't care who wins the Rumble this year. Because of the favorites that people have right now, none of them interest me.

[Jaws the Shark]

Sky Bet are currently offering odds of 66/1 on former Norwich City striker Grant Holt to win the Royal Rumble, which is a bit silly.

Obviously if any English football player is going to win it's going to be Ade Akinfenwa.

Or, even worse. DB wins the Rumble, beat Drew at Mania and Miz does a cash in on him

Nobody would be able to get Grant Holt's lardy arse over the top rope.

Roman/Ade at WrestleMania would be worth it for the promos alone.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

The Rumble is the only WWE thing I genuinely miss getting to watch, even with no fans.

[Deleted]

Charlotte's announced for the Rumble.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

Any chance we can get a lighter shade of blue for the Smackdown entrants? I can barely read Daniel's name on the dark background.

Guessing like 2019 she'll be in the Roman Reigns role of last-eliminated.

Also, AJ Styles announced himself.

Another year of her squaring up and mean mugging every girl who enters again to force a "Rumble Moment". 

[mcstoklasa]

Bork to win the Rumble

On the other hand, she played a fine foil to Naomi's sequence last year.

[brettappedout (BLM)]

So does Edge return again at the Rumble and eliminate Orton ala Edge/Jericho 2010?
