Batista hasn't been getting a lot of love around here lately, so I'm sure there are plenty of people who wouldn't mind seeing him drop the title at the Rumble. But what are the chances of that happening? What is your prediction for the outcome of this match and WHY?!

I think Batista will keep the title
the end will probably set up a possible Taker/Batista feud with Kennedy somewhere in there, possibly a match of some sort at No Way Out

I think Batista wins thanks to the Undertaker, and Taker/Kennedy end their feud once and for all in Hell in a Cell at No Way Out. Maybe it becomes a #1 contenders match as well, and then Taker v Batista is set in stone.

So are most people expecting that we get Batista/Taker at Mania for the title?

there will not be any title changes at Royal Rumble unless a serious injury happens
WWE has figured out an excellent formula in order to give fans the most bang for their buck - since the Rumble match is the big draw, world title shots on the show will be given to second-tier challengers.

There's no way they're having Batista drop the title this soon.

But that would mean we get Taker/Batista at 'Mania for the title right? So we either get a title reign for Undertaker or Batista ends his streak, and I'm not sure I like that scenario...

I wouldn't mind seeing another Taker title reign.

Well I don't exactly want Taker as Champion again myself, but it's still a hell of a lot better than Batista.

I like Batista. I like Kennedy. Eitherway I am happy.

I actually think there will be a clean finish. I think Basista wins clean. Kennedy got his push, he'll lose, get frustrated and be the one to push for the MITB match at WM

I wouldn't mind seeing another Taker title reign. I wouldn't hate it, but I'd rather see newer faces. There's just been so many attempts to recapture the past lately in WWE, I would rather see Kennedy win the title and go on to feud with a new face challenger. |

They should have booked Batista vs. Kane to work up to the eventual 'Taker match at Mania. As for Batista/Taker at Mania. I bet it ends w/ a time limit draw that way Batista keeps his title and Taker keeps his winning streak. Thirty minutes of these two trying to put on a match would be painful to watch but fans would still be at the edge of their seats for this one.
My only other concern is Taker getting louder pops than Batista ala Hogan/Rock WM18.

But what are the chances of that happening? What is your prediction for the outcome of this match and WHY?! Batista: Lets be Realistic for a min Even though the board might not give him as much "man" love as they give a Kennedy or a C.M. punk( Or Joe). I highley doubt the WWE would give the title to a no Draw like Kennedy (if he wins it watch smackdowns ratings drop by a large margin). Kennedy is more suited as a U.S. champ. |

Might be they want to work up to a match for them at Mania. I bet it ends in whatever way is good to get people returning to watch.

You know whats funny. When Booker was champ there was a thread about him and whats going on with him having the title all the time. Now that Batista is champ it seems like no one gives a crap. I really can't stand Batista.

I'm gonna have to disagree. It's not like Batista is such a huge draw. In my opinion, Kennedy is both the better wrestler and better talker, is much younger, and has the potential to be a much bigger star than Batista. But that's neither here nor there, because it definitely seems more WWE style to do a match like Batista/Undertaker at Wrestlemania. |

You find Kennedys cheap Micheal Buffer impersonation to be that of a great talker? Granted Batista is very limited. but Kennedy vs undertaker at wrestlemania would be a nightmare! when does a Mid-carder end a long streak at wrestlemania? (anyone who wants to chime in about Holly and Punk try not too there was no way punk was going undefeated. and if it Was Punk Vs Undertaker wrestlemania Punk would J.O.B.) Look at Matt hardy he is twice the worker Kennedy is and he is on lifetime mid-card. |
