Wow, we actually got WAYS to go before the Rumble comes, anyway as WWE is probably planning some moderate mixed reception booking we all have our ideas how this ppv should go... lets hear it...

So i'm just going through the world title matches and the rumble itself, that's all I really follow at the moment.

Styles retains... with help from the Undertaker, who costs Cena the match to plant seeds for Wrestlemania. Back story behind it is a guess to me... but we would like to see the match.

Reigns wins, clean, no Rollins, no Jericho interference, I wouldn't give a fuck about the reaction, just do it, end this feud, oh and some point before the rumble Reigns loses the US championship (finally), has to be Jericho to be the champ.

If Chris Jericho is US champion then I guess it makes perfect sense for Seth to face him for the title at the rumble too, Jericho cheats, hits him with the list or something out of the referee's eye.

Now the rumble is toughie, but I like to see it this way. The first 2 entrants are Lesnar and Goldberg, yeah, what the hell, but aye they were the first 2 announced for this match anyway. Then comes number 3, Samoa Joe, oh shit, so this is how the ring will be able to fill up a bit, you just put in a few guys that match up with Bill, Brock and Joe so we don'r have a bunch of guys running in immediatley getting eliminated. Though you will have some jobbers, you also got your Kofi Kingston spot, can't go without that, then you need your returns. Yep, you guessed it, Finn Balor returns.

When Braun gets in of course he will get the most eliminations but he won't win, Samoa Joe will knock him out of there, Braun before hand will take out both Bill and Brock so they aren't and issue anymore. Seth and Jericho will still both enter the rumble, Triple H will return too but he is not in the match. Instead here is where things get interesting, Triple H shows up on the appron and distracts Rollins, incomes Roman Reigns with a spear and he throws him out, signalling a heel turn and allignment with Hunter. There ya go, that'll make people happy.

Now Finn should be the guy to win the rumble and face heel Reigns, and it could end that way, but may I propose an alternative? Shawn Micheals shows up at number 30 and wins. Crowd is going fucking crazy and he challenges AJ Styles at Wrestlemania as the Heart Break Kid gets ready for one more match at the big one. Finn still faces Reigns, earns the opportunity later on.

I'm not sure on the other matches but I would book Jericho to win the rumble... He is going to be leaving WWE again sometime in the summer, shortly after Mania so it would make sense to have his feud with Kevin start now and finish at Wrestlemania.

BUT... If I were to be booking something in particular... I would have AJ win (retain) and have a double turn, making Cena a heel. I know that will likely never happen but this is my show! I think that is something that would basically draw so much attention, people would just be in utter shock. Heck, I would be!

Reigns vs Owens: reigns wins
Styles vs Cena: styles wins, but has to cheat as he sees no other way to beat John
Rumble: Balor

Reigns wins so that they can setup a triple threat with reigns vs Owens vs Balor at mania.

Styles wins so he can still be champ at mania and retain at mania while Cena most likely fights taker.

Balor wins so he looks big in his comeback and goes on to face Owens and reigns.

Perfect setups.

What if Cena wins now and Taker wins rumble
I actually wouldn't mind that. Let taker have his last stint. Although I'd love to see Balor win, taker actually retiring and going out by winning the rumble and losing to Cena is the perfect main event and goodbye.
