well theres ONLY three people who could possibly win this royal rumble..randy orton..shawn or undertaker...randy orton has a possiblity of winning because it has been talked about lately and rumored for months now..however...with the position that hhh has put himself in it is a bit blurry...orton could perhaps win the rumble but as stated it would have to b built up realllllllly good...also it has been a long time since raw has had a heel champion...shawn could win the rumble to take the place of hhh...he's a well credited superstar and to c the belt around shawns waist would b nice...undertaker could win it to set up the mania match...it all depends on the top people...regardless all these 3 will have a major position and one of them will win the rumble..i would like to c shawn or taker win the rumble..its gonna probably b one of them...

I think that the Undertaker will win to set up the Batista match at WM, but I would also like to see Shawn with the belt again, because shawn is great when he is by himself, and the Undertaker deserves to win the title, because Batista is almost as bad as John Cena, and Batista has about as much charisma as Dean Malenko
I think Orton wins due to Edge costing HBK somehow. HBK vs. Edge/Cena vs. Orton at WM23. That's just my gut feeling. I think Vince probably wants Orton to get over in HBK's hometown to create a bigger springboard going in to Wrestlemania. I will be in the building on Sunday..I hope Shawn wins it, but like I said I think Orton will win.
There would be no way that Cena would't be in the main event of WM, because of his position in the WWE right now, and I dont see him losing to Umaga, and that would mean he would have to lose the title on RAW, and that doesn't happen often unless it needs to be done, like when Edge won the title on RAW against RVD and John Cena, and that only happen because of the drugs issue.

The person who I think will win the Royal Rumble is either Taker or HBK. I doubt an WWECW guy would win. WWECW is the worst of the 3 brands in ratings and wrestling wise. I think an SD! or RAW guy would win.
For RAW I think HBK. He beat the crap out of Rated RKO then comes and announces he once a shot at the title. He beat the crap out of everyone in the ring. He cleaned house on RAW.
For Smackdown!, Im going to go with Undertaker. He also cleaned house today. He not only gave Batista a big boot inenvertantly(sp?) but in the main event he destroyed everyone. He was the last one in the ring.
So I think in the Royal Rumble match its going to come down to Taker and HBK and one of them will eliminate each other. Even though WWE dont like the idea of having 2 faces vs. face matches they might still do it because it can draw. They might turn Undertaker Heel and have Cena and HBK feud out of respect and to see who the better man is. Either way I think HBK is going to main event with Cena and Undertaker is main eventing SD! with Batista. This is what I have gathered from what has gone on the past few weeks.

I think Undertaker is finally going to win his first Rumble this year. That's the only thing or importance that he hasn't done, so I think this is his year. Though it's in HBK's hometown, he's already won 2 rumbles, while Taker hasn't won one at all. This is his year.

Why is there even a PPV section if people are going to keep making threads like this. Because it has a poll, I will merge it with the current Rumble Thread.

Yeah I think it'll be HBK. Taker will still get a shot at Batista at WM.
So I guess Cena Vs. HBK at WM will be face Vs. face, the battle of the t-shirt sales. Whoever sells the most merch that night will win.

No, That wont happen. WWE will want Cena to win to put him over and as for Title vs. Undefeated streak Batista will win to get Batista over. I think both Cena and Batista will retain there title's because WWE dont want to get rid of there money makers. Also because in WWE eyes they are there biggest draws right now as champ.
Deep down inside we all want HBK and Undertaker to win the titles. It would bring Nostalgia into play. Having those 2 wins will mean good things. A rise in ratings because people would want to check these two out as champs and what they do and what WWE does with them.
They also could sell more merchandise then Cena and Batista imo but I guess WWE doesn't think so. Having these two men will also mean sold out arenas. They would come just to see these two. Taker is one of those guys when he makes an appearance it's special because they rarely show up on shows.
But non the less I doubt either title change will happen sadly. Us wrestling fans can only dream.

i am really starting to think hbk will win the rumble because its in his hometown. undertaker can earn his shot at no way out. and as for orton i think edge will blame him for not winning the rumble starting a feud for them two going into mania so i think the three top matches for wm23 will be
wwe championship
cena vs hbk
world heavyweight championship hell in a cell title vs streak
batista vs undertaker
edge vs orton
and does anyone think a raw or sd guy can win the rumble and change shows?? u think that is possible??? i wouldnt rule that out yet!

HBK will win and we'll have another hogan vs. rock situation were the whole building will turn on cena at wrestlemania and get behind hbk, i hope 2 god taker beats batista cause if after all these years its batista that ends takers streak it will be crap, god knows what this leaves for guys like edge, orton (who i think will loose the tag titles to cryme time on raw next week after the rumble) booker, kane etc. at wrestlemania.
yea its possible, it wont happen though, didnt benoit do that a few years back?

No deep down not all of us want HBK or Taker to win... They've been champs before. I want to see a heel Orton as champ. *I don't count evolution fiasco*
HBK and Taker are old and don't need to be put over with a rumble victory, especially with talk that Taker want's to retire, and HBK needs time off.
Nostalgia's great and all, but when HBK gets injured and Taker leaves y'all will most likely bitch about how they still haven't developed current talent enough...because they focused on them during the RR.
Anyways, I'm actually excited about the RR tomorrow because it's one of the first PPV's in a while where there's no definite "Spoiler" going around online and it's speculation.

well i think that there are two options that ciould happen. 1 of them is that taker and hbk could be the last two men in the ring duking it out. but i cannot see taker throwing hbk out just not possible if you auctaully think about it. taker could be trying to throw hbk out and hbk pulls off that out of the rope move than climbs back in the ring and throws taker out. 2nd thing that could happen and which will happen is ortan throiwing edge out, than edge coming back in and throwing ortan out abovisouly creating their match at wretlmania 23. but if that doesnt happen i see ortan winning the rumble by throwing taker out last. than u got ortan making his appearence on smacdown and raw and deciding who he will face batista or cena. obviosly a big fan draw
I think Orton is going to win. Yes, there have been many rumors of HBK winning and going to WM to beat Cena but when you think about it, if Smackdown is going to have a face vs face mainevent, RAW shouldn't. I think Orton should win because Orton Vs Cena would draw more money. Granted, I would love to see HBK win in his hometown but i think it'd be better for business if Orton won. They already made 'Taker and HBK look good on RAW & Smackdown. I think 'Taker would be a 3rd candidate but since Smackdown has won the past few 'Rumbles i think RAW gets this one. Also, they need to have an established superstar go up against Cena. IMO it'll be Orton and if not him, then HBK.

Maybe Fake Rosie enters as a surprise, wins the title the next night on Raw, setting up Rosie vs. the Real Donald at WMXXIII. Wait, I shouldn't have posted this, Vince might read it and like it.......
Edge and Orton will be teased some more, with their final blowout being on Raw in a couple of weeks when they lose their tag titles. Neither will win.
Taker is an obvious choice, as he will face Batista. HBK doesn't make a lot of sense, as they don't want face vs. face in two title matches, and HBK wants time off.
Dark horse pick is ...John Cena. I see him losing to Umaga, then entering as the 30th pick and winning the Rumble to guarantee a rematch at Mania. Usually there is a heel champ dropping the title to a face champ at Wrestlemania. The Cena-Umaga feud has been built up pretty well, and a rematch between the two would be fine as one match in the inevitable "triple main event". Other main events will be Taker-Batista and Shane/Khali vs. Hogan.

I'm pretty sure The Undertaker will win and maybe drop his streak at Wrestlemania... nobody wants this but... Vince is Vince and it might damn well happen. If not... The Undertaker might beat Batista and then drop the title at Survivor Series in something like a Bureid Alive match and retire.

Orton. With cashing in a favor from Booker T. Going with a whole royalty doesn't brea promises angle, and leading to Booker, Undertaker feud before Mania.

lmao it would be sooo ******ed if big vis won, i would shit myself laughing. In all seriousness though Taker will win it, no doubt in my mind
I'm not sure how the rule goes for RR. If a Smackdown person wins, do they wrestle the Smackdown World Champion?
That said, my picks:
Hardyz vs. MNM = Hardyz (crowd pleaser)
Lashley vs. Test = Lashley
Kennedy vs. Batista = Batista
Cena vs. Umaga = Cena
Royal Rumble:
The Undertaker, unless the winner faces Cena, then it's going to be Orton or Edge now that Triple H is out of the picture, possibly with a controversial ending allowing both of them to vie for the title at WM
