It certainly looks like HBK will win, but that poses a few problems. If it's Cena/HBK at mania, Orton and Edge almost have to face each other, since there's no other big time faces on RAW. I don't like the idea of either man turning face, and at the same time, I don't think Edge/Orton are as close to a breakup as others do. They could keep Edge and Orton heel, and do a fatal four way for the title, but that means that likely the RR winner wouldn't be from RAW, (Taker) and it also severly limits the RAW 3rd of the card. But HBK winning would still be fine with me.

Why does everyone think HBK will win?? It would be cool, but usually when WWE has someone look that good right before a PPV they lose. (Jericho before the 1st Elimination Chamber, for example.)
Its either Undertaker or Orton this year. Maybe Edge.

But HBK winning would still be fine with me. Even if HBK wins I still think it'll be a 4 way for the title on the Raw side. Benoit won the Rumble in 04 and still ended up in the triple threat. Same with Rey last year and Rock in 2000. All the Rumble really guarantees is that you are in a title match. |

Virgil or Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. As a kid, I always looked forward to their yearly Rumble appearance.
But seriously, I hope they don't break up Edge and Orton anytime soon. They are what Raw has lacked in a long time...powerful heels. John Cena and DX have been slaughtering anyone in their paths for months on end. Booooring.

Someone (I think Meltzer) that the WWE won't do Cena/Michaels because they're already doing Taker/Batista, and they don't want to do 2 face/face matches.
I wouldn't mind seeing Michaels win, and then somehow do Orton/Edge at the next PPV where the winner completes the 3-way at mania. Either one of them with Cena and Michaels has the potential to be an incredible match (personally I'd rather see Orton in there, because Cena/Edge is played out, and Orton can be tremendous when motivated).
The only other (very slim) possibilities I can think of are Benoit (heel Benoit v. Cena could be OK), and Khali (even though the internet would explode, Khali v. Cena could be compelling if the fans buy it),

Its either Undertaker or Orton this year. Maybe Edge. I don't know. I mean, if I remember correctly, they built up Triple H pretty well when he came back from his injury back in '02 before the Rumble and he still won the thing. And IMO, they wouldn't be doing this whole hype about the "Return of the Showstopper" and the RR being in San Antonio just so that HBK lose in the end and it ends up being Randy Orton that wins or something. I mean, I know it might be predictable, but I truly believe HBK is going to win the RR this year, no matter what the Wrestling Observer says.  |

Well, now that I think of it, will they have HBK/Cena at mania if they do have Taker/Tista? I mean, double face/face main event? I dunno bout that now.

To me it's gonna be down to HBK,Orton or Edge.
As much as I want Taker to get the win, they have already started the program between 'taker and 'tista...it looks like they're destined to meet at mania anyway (from a kayfabe perspective), no need for the rumble win in this feud.
HBK is the logical choice - Orton in my opinion still ain't ready for another title run, and Edge had the run last year with Cena...they seem to like trying new feud's in recent years.

I think HBK & Taker are the only two logical choices, hopefully with Taker winning cos he's never won one before. I think there were more candidates than Benoit in 2004, although once WWE gave Goldberg number 30, they pretty much spelled out Benoit's name in lights. Yeah Kurt Angle said he was gonna win it for the troops that year |
