I would have imagined Kennedy,and after reading the spoilers it looks to be him (there is no time given except his,and the fact it was the main event,seems to suggest so, and the way the spoilers are written). Good call by the wwe,as its about time Kennedy got a main event push, and KK/Batistas series of matches at the beggining of the year were excellent. However,i would have liked to see him win the rumble, or possibly use the 'Smackdown Sprint' Angle to bring Mark Henry back (love him or hate him).
Now,we have a new situation on our hands: Who will win the rumble,as Kennedy is out the running? My guess is that there gonna either give it to Hunter,Orton or 'Taker. I think the wwe have bottled the chance to give it to a younger guy (kennedy would have been ideal,and i cant see carlito sneaking it). A think am interesting outside bet would be Ric Flair. They seem to have been hinting at one more title run for the nature boy for the last year, and a repeat of his infamous Rumble victory (1991?) might seem on the cards, especially as it was rumoured they might try and run a rocky balboa angle with him or hogan.
