    Default Royal Rumble predictions

    This is my favourite wrestling event of all-time. I love the Rumbles.

    Any predictions?

    My guess is the New Day wins the six-man tag team elimination match. The Usos retain the tag titles. The Bellas win the women's tag match. The Ascension wins their tag matches. Brock Lesnar keeps the title.

    As for the Rumble, it's harder to call this year. My best guess would be the Undertaker makes a surprise return, wins the Rumble, and challenges Lesnar to a Wrestlemania rematch.

    Tag Title match: Usos vs Miz and Mizdow

    Bella Twins vs Natalya and Paige

    The New Day vs Tyson Kidd, Cesaro and Adam Rose (elimination match)

    The Ascension vs New Age Outlaws

    Rumble match: Ziggler, Ryback, Reigns, Bryan, Rusev, Barrett, Wyatt, Ambrose, Goldust, Stardust, Big Show, Kane, Miz, Mizdow, R-Truth, Fernando, Diego, Fandango, Harper and Justin Gabriel.

    That's just 20 confirmed wrestlers for the Rumble, so there's a good chance of a few nice surprise entrants. Right now, the frontrunners to win the Rumble are Ziggler, Reigns, Bryan, Wyatt and Ambrose.

    And if you notice, Kingston isn't in the Rumble. He'll be there. He's the guy who does stuff like this every year (ignore #1 in this video):

    I'll go with what my cousin who still watches wrestling has told me. I have not cared to watch Wrestling for a while
    Championship match: Lesnar vs Cena vs Rollins - Cena wins then Rollins cashes something in to win

    Tag Title match: Usos vs Miz and Mizdow - Miz and Mizdow because Miz's wife is a smokeshow (this is my pick haha)

    Bella Twins vs Natalya and Paige - I do not think people pay attention to these matches

    The New Day vs Tyson Kidd, Cesaro and Adam Rose (elimination match) - New Day? I am out of the loop haha, no idea who they are

    The Ascension vs New Age Outlaws - Aren't the NAO like 50? I'll go with the other team

    Rumble match: Reigns - They are apparently pushing him like crazy even though he has minimal talent and ring skills. More of just the big guy winning I think

    Not sure if anyone saw the Rumble, but what a disappointment. It started early, with Wyatt eliminating everyone, and then we sat through four straight jobbers come out. Slowed down the match a lot.

    Bryan getting eliminated early was bad. Reigns winning was bad (was never a big fan of his). The Rock's appearance was just wasted.

    If they had a final four of Ziggler, Reigns, Bryan and Ambrose, it would have been different. It could have been an exciting finish, even if Reigns won.

    But the whole Rumble match was bad.

    I didn't see it. I hadnt' heard of half the wrestlers you mentioned in the card, so I lost interest. I guess UFC has taken my full-fledged fight interest...

    I did enjoy Sting's return a couple months ago. So the Rock made an appearance? That would have been fun.

    Looks like Rodgort called Reigns, and you mentioned him as a favorite too

    The title match was very entertaining and the Philly crowd were entertaining throughout the night. I haven't watched WWE in years but I disliked Reigns shortly after seeing him/hearing him during the event and enjoyed the crowd booing the hell out of him, them going so far as to cheer for the Russian heel to beat him at the end. They're going to have to change up the Lesnar/Reigns match at WrestleMania as a result of the reaction, or so one would hope.
