Royal Rumble 5 Rumored Winners of the 2016 Royal Rumble

[Mr. Roman Empire]

That is one way they can go with it. It could work good actually. I do prefer Ambrose as a heel and Seth as a face though, idk why. If Daniel Bryan ever does come back, him feuding with one of them would be good too.

I am beginning to think that at the time, Seth getting injured sucked but this may have been the best thing to happen for the WWE in a long time. It forced them to rewrite and rethink everything.

Seths title reign was kind of stinking up the joint. But they put themselves in a pickle because he's such a good wrestler but they booked him like total shit. I was actually really looking forward to Reigns vs Rollins feud that was supposed to happen at Survivor Series. They would of took it to the limit and had an intense couple matches.

The way I look at it now is that when it does happen, they will do it the right way. Seth will be refreshed.

There ain't no way in hell they're gonna have Reigns defend the title against HHH on some shitty middle-of-the-road PPV like Fast Lane.

They're saving it for Mania.

But then who would he defend the title against at Fastlane?

Big Show or Kane:quimby:

I know, it sounds lame. But, enter obligatory Kane/Show vs WWE-WHC that nobody wants to see and WWE does it anyway. Plus, who else are they gonna job out to other than those two clowns? Like seriously.

Plus, HHH vs Reigns is money and it's a WM-caliber match that shouldn't be wasted at Fast Lane, imo.

Ugh that sounds terrible. I guess we'll see. The only way Im seeing Reigns vs HHH is if Triple is already champ walking into WM

Me, too. But are they really gonna screw Reigns out of the title in the span of 2 months? That way, his third major title win would come in the span of like 6 months.

Thats what I'm thinking. My prediction is Vince is gonna take the title off Reigns on Raw on Monday. Tell him the only way he can get another shot is to win the Royal Rumble, and make him be entrant #1.

That, I can see happening. Shades of Royal Rumble 1992 being repeated and everyone fighting for the top prize in the Rumble match itself would be a-okay with me.

But... There's another scenario I can see happening, for that matter. Vince comes out all pissed off next week and says Reigns has to defend his title in the Rumble match itself. That way, Reigns retains and if their goal is HHH/Reigns at WM 32, then a screwjob would happen, as HHH would enter at #31 and screw Reigns out of the title.

ehhh that just sounds too overdone to me, to put that title on the line in The Royal Rumble, a huge traditional match for a title shot.

I think Brock Lesnar will face Sheamus in a match for the vacant WWE title. Sheamus has been pushing for a match with Brock in interviews. Then I think Reigns will face Triple H at Fastlane and have to put his title shot on the line.

So, HHH vs Reigns at Fast Lane 2016 = Bryan vs Reigns at Fast Lane 2015? Meh. HHH vs Reigns, in my opinion, should happen on a big stage, and Fast Lane is anything, but the big stage.

Thats the way I'm seeing it. Unless Triple H crowns himself WWE champion before Wrestlemania. But I don't think there is anyway that HHH is winning the Rumble. It just doesn't make sense for Triple H to go through all that trouble to EARN a title shot against Reigns.

And that way If they book Reigns vs Triple at Fastlane either for the WWE Title or for Reigns title shot against Lesnar at Wm32 then it won't be a throw away PPV no more.

I think there is a certain way he could pull off a win. As it's been said already, Reigns defends the WWE-WHC in the Rumble match itself by entering at #1, he retains. Then, HHH enters at #31 and perhaps with the help of The League of Nations he defeats the already worn out Reigns.

Or they could have HHH vs Reigns for the title at the Rumble, Bork wins the Rumble match and the stage is set.

I guess we'll know the direction they'll be taking this Monday.

 

[The GOAT]

#1 Triple H- This seems like everyones favorite but I find it very unlikely that Triple H is going to win the Royal Rumble. Why would he have to go through the trouble of EARNING a title match against Roman when he can just book that shit anyways??? Exactly, I think Roman will face Triple H at Fastlane for the title

While that is technically true, it didn't stop Hunter from limiting himself to a stipulation in his WMXXX match with Daniel Bryan where the stip was that whoever won got put in the title match later in the night. He could have even abused his authority after the fact like some expected him to and placed himself in the main event alongside Bryan/Batista/Orton anyway but he didn't.

Besides, he'd probably just enter himself in the coveted #30 spot (or strangely, introduce himself as a #31 entrant) to make it easier on himself.

I am beginning to think that at the time, Seth getting injured sucked but this may have been the best thing to happen for the WWE in a long time. It forced them to rewrite and rethink everything.

Seth getting injured was a shitty deal because it sucks to have a long title reign like that only for the person holding it to get injured just weeks before he's scheduled to lose it (dirtsheets said Seth was gonna drop it to Roman at Survivor Series anyway.) It's like when Cena held the title for over a year in 2006/2007 and then got injured and had to vacate it literally just days before he was booked to drop it to Orton at No Mercy '07.

I get what you are saying but I still think this change a lot for future events. Yes, Seth got screwed and it sucks he didn't beat Punk's title streak but things happen and we have to look for the good in this, which is what I am doing.
