Cody Rhodes is an excellant
well with the way things are looking right now it'll most likley be Cena vs. Umaga, but I wouldn't be surprised if they added some kind of special stipulation to the match, No DQ, Last Man Standing, something like that

DUH it is JOhn Cena vs Umaga again DPX Fan23 for Royal Rumble
Batista vs Kennedy
JOhnny Nitro vs Jeff Hardy I hope Jerk hardy loses I mean he is the biggest ********er so far after how well TNA treated him and made him a star!
I am suprised Matt Hardy has no belt and he was the longest wrestler that stayed and suffered with WWE
I wouldn't be suprised if brothers collide and feud it would make it more interesting like back in the days with the Hart Brothers
I say Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy WM23
also for Royal Rumble Mickie James vs Melina
Batista vs Kennedy
JOhnny Nitro vs Jeff Hardy I hope Jerk hardy loses I mean he is the biggest ********er so far after how well TNA treated him and made him a star!

Pre-Show Stalwart
Out Of The People In The Rumble I Think Chris Masters Will Win Raw Is Desperate For A New Star And They Have Been Trying To Push Him So Hard And As Much As I Hate To Say It He Would Be More Xciting Than Umaga In A Main Event Although He Will Some How Get Screwed Out Of Being The Wrestlemania Main Event
WrestlingDude
Occasional Pre-Show
ehhh i think the 3 main events will be john cena vs. umaga, batista vs. mr. kennedy and lashley vs. test

i reckon umaga will become wwe and mr kennedy will become world heavyweight and winner of the royal rumble being either orton,taker or RVD
With them announcing that it's obvious that it's Test and Lashley for the ECW title. For the other 5 I will go for Cryme Tyme, Gregory Helms if he doesnt face The Boogeyman and two surprises.

It has been announced that it will be Umaga vs. Cena last man standing. I dont really see Umaga champ heading into wrestlemania, so either Cena retains...or Umaga wins , but drops it on raw.
Kennedy Vs Batista......Batista wins after Taker interferes, costing Kennedy his title chance. Leading for a #1 contender match at No Way Out....possibly HIAC.
Test vs. Lashley...i dont know and i dont care.
Rated RKO break up is in sight...so maybe cryme tyme title shot will be up at rumble...and with a fluke win...and RKO screw up...new tag champs.
Look for Kahli to be an entrant in the rumble.
With hostility edge will toss out orton...or the other way around...and look for San Antonios own HBK to be the winner of this years rumble.

I think MVP should win it!!!!
I want Raw's WWE Title match 2 be Orton/Cena & SD's WHC match will prob be "Title vs Streak" Batista (c) vs Undertaker... The WHC match has some spice on the "Title vs Streak" but Orton/Cena would need some hype... Therefore I'd have Randy Orton win the Rumble... Remember that ECW's in it tho & I have a feeling "for the 1st time ever an ECW star wins the Royal Rumble & for the 1st time, WM's main event was for the ECW Title."

I'm Not From Your Country
It looks like the title matches are just ones that have been thrown together in the past two weeks (except for Cena/Umaga) and I'm even more disgusted at the thought of having a normal singles match for the ECW title. This is their one match at a PPV and one chance to really show how 'extreme' they are and they couldn't make it an extreme rules match? Or even a hardcore match. That would be what builds interest for ECW. Now I know that they can't have ER matches every week, but this is at a PPV where they are supposedly showcasing the two most extreme wrestlers in the company and they can't even have a stipulation? I don't think anyone cares about the match but at least a spot-fest would be good entertainment (although I shouldn't expect much from Test.)
The SmackDown main event could be so much better if they had of started the Batista/Kennedy feud a while back instead of this week. At least to build a little interest in the match instead of having everyone know the outcome before it's even happened. Where are the title feuds in the WWE anymore. Right now the best title feud is by far Johnny Nitro vs Jeff Hardy. It's been going for months and now it is the Mercury and Matt Hardy are building off of it. This is the problem with the WWE's world champions today. There is no competition when the WWE can clearly build up stars like Orton and Kennedy to a respectable contender for the title, yet they keep Cena and Batista untouched and unstoppable as champions.
The Raw main even at least has a good stipulation that will draw some interest. And it's good to see that Umaga is giving Cena a run for his money in regards to their feud. It is highly doubtful he'll win but at least the feud has got some interest and will most likely culminate at the Rumble and then die down afterwards.
I am actually interested in this years Rumble on the simple fact that their are many contenders to be the winner. Rumour-wise, it would suggest that Undertaker would be the winner, while HBK is in his hometown and looks like dropping the DX thing, and Orton seems like a worthy challenger to Cenas title as they haven't had a decent feud yet.
I think that a good addition would be to have a tag team tournament for London and Kendrick's titles to reaffirm them as the standout team in the company with the smallest competition. Although there is not many teams there though, only: Regal and Taylor, Cryme Tyme, Cade and Murdoch, Highlanders, and that new '50's team so I don't think we'll see it.
If not for that, then why not a bra and panties battle royal for the Women's title? At least we won't be expecting great wrestling. At least the Rumble is going to give this some good interest and buyrates. Don't be surprised to see some shocks at the Rumble though. It would be good to see them shake things up a bit.

Hogan will come out and break the master lock
i agree with inragedflames, cryme tyme are being pushed, its obvious, use their title match at RR, i think the titles were supposed too go too them soon cause at nyr the titles were never mentioned in the match or lead up, so:
CT v Rated RKO - tag titles
the world cannot stand another victoria v mickie match so itll be a triple threat, throwing melina into it, cause she can wrestle.
this whole breaking the master lock crap is going too come too a head, a legend will break it, mark my words.
APA too reunite, jbl was said too be able too return mid febuary, i recon in the next few weeks it'll be a mystery opponent - jbl and simmons, that'd be awesome.
as for the title matches, they have been already been made - smackdown airs early in australia, and i dont read the spoilers.
now, edge said getting the title at the 3 hr. raw, winnig against cena was top priority, leaving randy all alone, a recon randy will leave edge alone and break rko up, now dx had too end early, randy v cena at WW23

Hardcore Holly might not be in the Rumble yet as he's injured himself. From what I read he might not even he able to sell well if he went in regardless...
Taker to win the Rumble anyway
Cena to win
Batista to retain
Lashley to retain...
Will any belts change hands here?

well... lemme say, KEnnedy should win, not just because i think he should be the champ but because his and Takers feud is one of the best in wrestling right now, and i think the feud should culminate at wrestlemania for the title...
lashley retains
Cena retains
Orton and shawn r the last two in the rumble, edge screws shawn, orton wins the rumble... orton cena WM 23... edge Shawn WM 23
