Long regarded as one of WWE's premier events, the prestigious Royal Rumble returns to pay-per-view on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013. The event, which takes place at US Airways Center in Phoenix, features the classic Royal Rumble Match, plus Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's first WWE Title Match in more than 10 years!

Already one of the most anticipated PPV's in a while. Between Rock vs. The Champ (presumably CM Punk) and the Rumble itself, this is a guaranteed buy from me. My first PPV since WM as well.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

who do you guys think some of the surprise entrants will be this year?

 

[Postman Dave]

I think there will be less of them this year for sure. Assuming the WWE title match is what we're expecting, we've got a lot of big names available for the rumble match this year.

As for who, I'd love another Boogeyman appearance, maybe a JBL cameo (get Ron Simmons in there too and have an APA reunion) and possibly some of these rumoured former mid carders coming in.

I see a Billy Gunn entrance

it's one of my favorite parts is to see the surprises..

Godfather or Val Venis would be good as well

I think they're building up to have Taker come back, but they've already done that one a few years ago so hope they don't

 

[Postman Dave]

Billy Gunn is good shout following his recent reapperances.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

With the recent news of Shelton being in talks with WWE, I wouldn't be surprised to see him come back at the RR. Honestly, the WWE Title match has sold this PPV with Rock's name on it alone, and given WWE's past 3 shows over the past 3 days, I am hoping they go big at RR once again.

 

[Sabretooth]

This might be a good way to reintroduce some of the talent that's supposedly coming back.

Shelton Benjamin
MVP
2 legends
Possibly Brock Lesnar
Possibly Undertaker

The ROCK HAS FINALLLY got another title shot....fucking awesome!

BTW, I think a nice surprise entrance would be none other than for pure shits and giggles, Gillberg! XD

In all seriousness, it would be nice to see someone like Stone Cold be one but that wouldn't happen.

Remember when I kept trying to tell you that Dwayne would be wrestling Punk for the title @ Royal Rumble but you'd hear none of it?

Told you so.

O.P updated. Names confirmed for the rumble so far are John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler & 3MB. One of these things does not belong.

 

[Postman Dave]

card updated, Antonio Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler & Wade Barrett have also entered the Royal Rumble match.

 

[Sabretooth]

This is shaping up to be one hell of a PPV.
