Oops :/

So life kinda got in the way of blogging....not having the internet kinda sucked for a long time. But I'm hoping to make this year a consistant one. So lets kick off with predictions for tonights Royal Rumble!

Card:
30-Man Royal Rumble Match
CM Punk (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Championship with John Laurinaitis as special guest referee
John Cena vs. Kane
Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Mark Henry vs. Big Show in a Steel Cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship

Background:

  • Kane has destroyed Zack Ryder in order to get to Cena and make Cena "embrace the hate"
  • Chris Jericho has returned (Fan Girl moment!! *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* ) and has only said that "Sunday will be the end of the world as you know it"
  • Daniel Bryan has turned heel and is playing Mark Henry and Big Show against each other - Show knocked over AJ on Smackdown two weeks ago and now claims "to not know his own strength".
  • Laurinaitis has cost CM Punk to lose against Dolph Ziggler over the last 4 weeks and admited to Mick Foley that he will try and screw Punk out of the championship
  • Brodus Clay is the Funkasaurus
Predictions

Rumble - Chris Jericho or Wade Barret to win

CM Punk vs Dolph Ziggler - CM Punk by submission - I figure that its the only way that he can get around Laurinaitis being the ref....unless we see the early return of Triple H (he's due on Raw tomorrow to review the GM position)

John Cena vs. Kane - No contest - Kane will take the beating that Cena gives while preaching at him to "embrace the hate"

Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Mark Henry vs. Big Show in a Steel Cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship - Even though he's been a pussy heel, running away from matches I think Daniel Bryan to retain via escape of some sort - Big Show throwing him through the cage maybe? (a la JBL & Big Show No Way out 2005)

Other points to consider -

I think Sheamus and Miz will have a god run, Miz being dealt the number one spot after losing a match to R Truth last week. Rumor has it that Brodus Clay is getting his full entrance, so I get the feeling he'll be eliminated pretty soon after. As its the 25th anniversary I wouldn't be surprised to see some legend entrants, specifically Hacksaw Jim Duggan who won the first ever rumble. But who knows??

Hope y'all enjoy the rumble and I'll be back here with my review and reaction later in the week.
