The Royal Rumble is, in my opinion, the most exciting pay-per-view of the year. This year especially. It's been built up pretty well and there isn't one guy who you know is going to win the whole thing.
For Raw, I think the superstars most likely to win would be Jericho, Orton, HBK, or Batista coming in as a suprise. Similar to what Cena did last year. Jericho winning wouldn't be that huge of a shocker, but it would be suprising enough. I personally think he has the best chance of winning it for Raw. I don't want Orton to win the Rumble. His storyline is too entertaining to put the title in the middle of it, as I think that wouldn't do much for the storyline. For HBK to win, it would have to go like this. He screws Cena out of a win and helps JBL. Then when the 30th entrant is announced, it's Shawn Michaels, The more I think about that idea, hte more I like it. Now I know they said Batista is going to be out way past Wrestlemania, but didn't they say that about Cena last year too? So, as far as I'm concerned, the WWE has lost my trust. I don't believe them anymore.
For Smackdown, I think the superstars most likely to win would be Undertaker, a semi-surprise; Jeff Hardy, coming in after losing the championship to Edge; Christian, returning; or HHH, being related to the boss and all. I don't really know about Christian because nothing has been confirmed so far. And these days, nothing is secret. If Undertaker were to win, it would be kind of a suprise and kind of not. But I don't expect him to win. I'm pretty sure Edge is going to beat Hardy for the title. So, it wouldn't be a suprise for Hardy to win a chance at the title again, although it would kind of be a waste. I think HHH has the best chance to win the Rumble for Smackdown. He's always in the main event, and if he's not for WrestleMania, I would be very suprised.
