    You doubt it? seriously? I think he's got a great chance. Top 3 favourite at least.

    Please be joking.

    The ONLY reason he's on TV is because he's good friends with some NFL player. That's it.

    I think this is the perfect year for somebody to enter at #1 and go all the way and win the whole thing. Considering how star studded of a line up it is this year nobody will expect somebody to go start to finish. It would instantly make somebody a full on superstar to go from #1 and win in the most star packed Rumble ever in front of 60,000 people.

    As long as The Miz is in, then I'm happy. Would be a joke if Ellsworth is in. Not because he's Ellsworth and a waste of a spot, but because Mojo had to earn his spot on Smackdown

    Miz is definitely there. You'd easily argue he is a top 3 guy on smackdown at this stage.

    I can see Corbin being the ironman or a least finishing in the top four. He really seems to have clicked in the last month. His entrance/presentation is one of the best in the company.

    I can see Corbin being the new Reigns. Being booed out of every building.

    Yeah Corbin has come a long way since NXT. Being on Smackdown has been good for him. It could actually be what Reigns has the potential to be if he turned heel.

    Was trying to think who would be the underdog who's in there to near the end? Miz should be close, I'd say. And Ziggler to be the Michaels of the Rumble in nearly getting eliminated a hundred times or so.

    Edit: Do you think they'll somehow get the match up they teased on Raw with Brock, Goldberg and Taker?

    What year was it that only 1 guy was in the ring about halfway through? May have been Punk

    Punk started one in 2011 when he was head of nexus and destroyed by horns waggle and cena

    He also started one with sets rolling and made to the final four.

    Which would be fantastic as he is a heel unlike reigns

    I can see Mojo being in the last 4 or 5 guys though especially with his mates team in the Super Bowl the following weekend and with the Gron injured and going to miss it he may well turn up at the RR for a nixer off Vince.

    With go away heat, not from being a good heel. He's been picked for a push, because of his size, he's a terrible promo and very basic in ring.

    It will get worse; I'd put money on at least one other guy from that Battle Royal making an appearance in the Rumble match, in spite of losing it.

    Wouldn't mind that if I'm being honest. Beats Strowman winning it anyway, I like him but he's definitely not ready.

    what if roman loses to owens he enters the rumble and wins.

    this actually wouldn't surprise me and tbh for the meltdown of some fans i would kind of enjoy it but mostly not.

    Orton is going to win I feel. I find it hard to see Orton vs Bray Wyatt for the title as it would mean Cena/Styles will lose the title at the EC

    Cena or Styles vs Orton would be cool

    I don't find anything about another Cena vs. Orton match exciting tbh. Has to be the triple threat with AJ if anything, now that's a quality main event.

    It would be easily done too if Orton won the rumble and Cena won the title for AJ in the chamber so AJ can get his rematch as part of a triple threat at Mania.

    I think it's the best option with Cena vs Taker pretty much ruled out this year. Some of the best WWE matches in the past few years have been triple threats, and this one would honestly have 5 star potential I think.

    Only question is what they have planned for the top guys on Smackdown already. Hardly any leaks this year for WM plans, which is nice.

    I cant wait till either Goldberg or Lesnar are already in the ring and the other comes out , it will be a brawl and a half me thinks.

    I reckon Aj will win, then Cena wins the chamber but sets up Cena/Joe for Mania. Leaving AJ free for Shane.

    It's your only man.

    Balor at number 27 would be worth a chuckle.

    Can't get my head around the idea of another Shane McMahon match, esp with a brilliant worker like Aj Styles ,a heel Dean Ambrose or Miz vs Shane would be much better.

    Shane beating The Miz with help from Daniel Bryan at WM could be a fun feel good moment.
