Okay, crazy prediction. What if Finn Balor returns...as the Demon...and wins and challenges Gunther at WrestleMania.

The show is this weekend and I still couldn't make a sure fire prediction on who wins either Rumble match.

I can narrow it down to I think 3 favorites at this point, them being: Cena, Punk, Reigns. But who knows really. I'll give a dark horse chance to Randy Orton coming out of nowhere to win it and possibly kick start him vs Cody for the title, though I think they may wait until post-Wrestlemania to do that feud and have that be their summer marquee feud.

For the women I think Charlotte Flair is the standout favorite at this point, I think it's very likely that it will be her challenging Tiffany Stratton at Wrestlemania.

DIY vs MCMG in a 2/3 falls match could be a show stealer if they give it time, and I sincerely hope they do give it time. They'll do well with whatver time they are given I'm sure but I really hope they give it a good chunk of time so they can really steal the show. It'll be match of the nigth if they go down that route.

Cody should retain against Owens, despite the fact that cody is getting pretty stale as babyface champion now. I can't see them taking the title off him this close to Mania though.

I'm hoping we don't see any records like longest time in a Rumble or most eliminations. They seem to want to do that every year lately.

Punk or Cena to win the rumble . Got my bet on it. Odds are awful though to win , so put £40 on both.

So we all know Hendry is a lock without being confirmed…

What are the odds Nemeth is in here so they can continue their feud?

And if he is, do they call him Nic Nemeth? Or Dolph Ziggler?
