Just because Ambrose defeated The Miz for the title doesn't mean the title won't be defended at the Rumble.

The Miz will surely invoke his rematch clause. He may not regain the title, but there'll be a rematch.
Very true...plus the match may have a special stipulation...
like say a "Street Fight" or at least No DQ.

I think Roman will win and hope he does...why? Because I just wanna see a storyline progress! Ya freaking bored me to death WWE.

The rumble can go many ways but signs point to Braun for that match.

Cent will not win... how about Undertaker returns and distracts him? We always wanted that match right?

Triple H to return and screw Seth.

Somebody will eliminate both Goldberg and Brock... not sure who.

The Undertaker is gonna announce that he's entering The Royal Rumble match as well. John Cena is already booked to challenge A J Styles for the title. John Cena won't be in the Rumble.

There are two stoylines that are still going on from last year's royal rumble. And that being Roman in the one versus all storyline. And Charlotte Flair still the women's champion. Same old stale storylines heading into the royal rumble again.

Is it me or does the Royal Rumble card seem a little bare at the moment?
I'm guessing this week they might add:

Ambrose vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental title...(Because Rematch Clause)
Alexa Bliss vs. Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women's title...(Becky's Final Chance?)
or Becky Lynch vs. Mickie James...(Because why not?)
Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax...(Because I'd rather see it now than at Wrestlemania)
Cesaro & Sheamus vs. Gallows & Anderson for the RAW Tag titles...(Because why not?)
American Alpha vs. Breezango for the SmackDown Tag titles...(Because why not?)

I don't know...the card looks empty...or is it just me?

This PPV is gonna be like 4-5 hrs right? I think they'll get the title matches out of the way in the first two and a half hours( Styles/Cena and Owens/Reigns getting the most time probably) thus giving the rumble match the rest of the show. The rumble this year is stacked and will be used to plant a lot seeds for WrestleMania. A three hour long Royal Rumble match can't be bad right? Surely they'd be sprinkling in those surprise entrants like:

I've been waiting to use this meme in context...

I feel like most Rumble cards are empty since they have a full hour match to air. I guess the longer run time will call for more matches, but I do remember the rumble cards were always quite small

Well yes...but many wrestlers have pulled double duty before on the Rumble pay per views...
And...
I'm pretty sure most of the women's division will be free that night...
A three hour long Royal Rumble match can't be bad right? Surely they'd be sprinkling in those surprise entrants like:
A 3 hour Rumble match?! Oh God...Now I really feel sorry for number 1 & 2...
Wait...how can a Rumble match last that long? a new entrant every 6 minutes?

I'm just saying the card looks a little thin is all...I mean quality over quantity...
but still...

I honestly don't think there will be that many surprise entrants...taking into
account the RAW/SmackDown/205 Live rosters...And I have to be honest...
I'd be happy with Samoa Joe, Tye Dillinger and Finn Balor as "Surprises"

I mean Kurt Angle would be awesome...but I doubt he'll be getting a run...

I just not getting my hopes up...I mean...just the fact its the most unpredictable
Rumble match in recent history is enough for me personally...

I hope your right Moe...I would "mark out" for that...

I don't know why... I just have a feeling they're going with him... I don't think they want him as stale as he is getting & I can just see it happening for some reason. I seen an interview today about him talking about the possibility of headlining WM... and then the other day I seen a WWE video where somebody was talking about how he might win the Rumble.

I kind of get the feeling those were hints.
