Cena seems most likely to win, but if he is feuding w Taker, then he won’t win... If Cena is not feuding w Taker, then Cena wins and beats Styles to break Flair’s record... Nakamura seems a likely winner if not Cena, by I cannot see him being given that honor this early in his WWE run

If Taker IS in the Rumble, then I have every reason to believe that Cena will eliminate him and that will be the start of the feud for Mania. My guess for the final four in the Rumble are: Cena, Roman, Taker, and Nakamura. If they eliminate Nakamura too early, I think the crowd will shit on it. I'm really not interested in the men's Rumble or the ppv this year. It looks like a shit sandwich.

When Vince wants to flip the audience that he hates so much off, THE AUDIENCE THAT KEPT HIM SO WEALTHY WHEN WCW WAS ABOUT TO KILL WWF, he sends Roman out. And Vince will sit back and laugh hysterically because he enjoys the agony and frustration of the people. When is the last time Vince McMahon said thank you to the live crowd and viewers at home? I don't think he's ever done it. That shows you how much scorn he has for the audience and it's not a recent thing, you can go back to almost any show in 1995 and see how he wants to punish the fans with the shit shows he was putting out there. I saw a match with Connecticut Blueblood Hunter Hearst Helmsley in a Hog's Pen match with Henry O. Godwinn and Hillbilly Jim as Special Guest Referee and the stipulation was the winner was the person who backdropped or bodyslammed his opponent into a pile of pig shit. And that wasn't a match on Raw, it was a match on a WWF PPV. So, Triple H was the loser and he throws a tantrum and he does it by flinging the mud and pig shit INTO the crowd. I mean, to force the fans WHO PAID MONEY TO SEE THIS and then have the heel in the match fling MUD/SHIT at them is asking for a riot. Somebody in the audience got pissed off enough he actually threw a can of soda at Triple H and thankfully it clocked him in the head. What Vince is gonna do after Roman wins, and yes I believe Roman is going to win, is he's just going to have his production department mute the boos and replace it with generic conquering hero music in highlight pieces so in the highlights on Raw the next night, the build to Mania, the video package before the match with Brock, and 15 years from now, when Roman goes into the Hall of Fame, they'll have video of him celebrating winning the Rumble with a cheering crowd in the background. Fans can boo, they can tweet, but the one thing the fans can do is crash the celebration. I'm not saying you violently assault people, but throw a half empty drink into the ring, throw bags of popcorn, wadded paper, chant, boo, and if you can get enough people to join you, jump the barricade and storm the ring and disrupt the show. Again, don't hurt people, but vent the dissatisfaction with the show in a way it disrupts Vince's plans. Because for the past year Vince's plan has been Roman and Brock and 3 years ago, in the same building where he had Brock in a triple threat match and had Roman win the Rumble to set them up for Mania only to do the exact same thing to the chagrin of his PAYING AUDIENCE, is more than an insult, it's robbery. I know Fromage is gonna pop in here and say something like you should never jump the barricade or disrupt the show, that it proves nothing. Firstly, when the last guy in the Rumble is eliminated and Roman's on a turnbuckle pointing to the fucking Wrestlemania sign, at that point the show is over and you're not disturbing people who are still in attendance because they're probably booing. What does hopping a barricade prove? It proves that you don't fucking care anymore and you're done with WWE and if you're not alone when you do it, if there's enough people to join you, you can make that statement and in a way that carries a lot of weight. And I'm not saying all this because I want it to happen, I don't. I don't want to see the same fucking thing happen that we saw three years ago because the Royal Rumble 3 years ago, on top of the one the year before and Punk's departure, killed so much interest I had in WWE and it has never really returned. I'm just accepting reality and I think Vince is going to try and do a mulligan from the 2015 Rumble thinking that people have accepted Roman Reigns, that he was right, will never admit 2015 was a mistake, and Vince will think something like, "GODDAMMIT! I CREATED RAW, I'M CREATING ANOTHER FOOTBALL LEAGUE, I'M SO RICH AND SUCCESSFUL, WHO ARE THESE INSIGNIFICANT WORKER BEES TO TELL ME I'M WRONG! I'M VINCE MCMAHON, I CREATED THE BIGGEST ACTOR IN HOLLYWOOD! I'M ALWAYS RIGHT! I KNOW EVERYTHING! I just have lost total faith in this company. EDIT: And for the record, I started writing this about 30 minutes ago and I see that Roman is officially entered into the Rumble. Not a surprise to me, I knew he'd be in it because for the past 2 months I've come to believe he was going to win it. Because Vince doesn't give a shit what we think.

But it's also stupid. Remember a couple years ago where fans jumping the barricade happened a few times in a short span? WWE cracked down on that meaning if anyone jumped the barricade they would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. So you jump the barricade and you're likely banned for life from any future WWE live event (which if you're tired of the product that may not be a big deal) but also heavily fined or maybe even given some jail time. Is a TV show you don't really like worth getting a criminal record for?

I guess throwing trash in the ring is the only solution.

I may even turn it off once Nak is eliminated I can see Nakamura's elimination getting the same result as Bryan's elimination which is boo-urns. Besides Nak, who is in the Rumble that people are going to want to see win? Jericho? Yes, he's the only guy I think on Smackdown that people would like to see win a Rumble and wrestle Styles at Mania. My hope is that Y2J is in the Rumble and wins because besides Nakamura, he's the best option. But if Jericho's not in the Rumble, who else is there? Bryan? There's speculation he's going to get cleared to do a match with Shane, but I'm starting to think that if Cena isn't wrestling Taker or Styles, he's going to be representing his brother in law in a match against Shane. Ziggler? People haven't given a shit about him since 2015. Orton? He did it last year and he's not involved in any story atm to warrant a Rumble win. Owens or Sami? I don't think having them do a handicap title match only for them to lose and have one of them win the Rumble is something people want to see. I haven't been hearing much positive stuff about how they're being used lately on SDLive. This is just not looking good, the entire ppv isn't looking good. We just had the best Takeover show in a long while and the non tag title matches at the Rumble look really bad on paper. The men's Rumble is something I'm dreading, so that leaves the women's Rumble and the tag title matches to hopefully save this show. Also, we've never seen two Rumble matches in one night before, so I'm wondering how that's going to be received. I think doing it is going to hurt the men's Rumble more because we'll be stuck seeing a lot of the same stuff in the Men's Rumble that we just saw a couple hours earlier in the women's Rumble.

There are a lot of favorites to win this year’s Rumble; such as Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, Shinsuke Nakamura, and more. Recently WWE Hall Of Famer Edge did an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard and was asked about the Rumble. “The Rated-R Superstar” gave his pick for this weekend’s main event, and said that he’d like to see former New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) star Shinsuke Nakamura punch his ticket for WrestleMania – likely setting up an AJ Styles vs. Nakamura match for the WWE Title: “I think it would be awesome,” said Edge. “Nakamura has that kind of Jeff Hardy intangible, and then you add in the history with him and AJ. The North American audience and, to an extent, the worldwide audience, has not seen what Nakamura brings to the table. We’ve seen flashes of it in his matches against Sami Zayn and Randy Orton. As evidenced by his New Japan work, he can be a very special performer. It would be nice to see him at least given that shot. From there, it’s up to him whether he sinks or swims. Sometimes, not everyone adapts to the style. “It’s a different company, it’s a different audience, it’s an entirely different hurricane. Sometimes styles don’t translate. Rey Mysterio was a master of doing that. No matter where he went, Rey could make his style adapt. But not everyone is Rey Mysterio. I love Nakamura, but it’s a transition for anybody who comes to WWE. You start him off with Sami at NXT, and talk about having the ultimate meal set for you: you get this amazing selling babyface and get to have this spectacular match. As I’ve talked about on the podcast, NXT is a different beast from WWE. “But I think he and AJ can be one of the main events, and I also know the people want it. With the proper build, AJ-Nakamura could be the match on last. That’s why I’d like to see Nakamura win the Rumble. He and AJ would have an amazing match, and that would give a different flavor to WrestleMania. You’d also have Brock-Roman and maybe Cena-Taker, as well as the women’s division, so then you’re pretty much set with a solid card.” Source: http://www.sescoops.com/edge-wants-shinsuke-nakamura-to-win-the-royal-rumble/
