I've been hearing RVD get mentioned as a possible comeback. I think he would be a better RR winner over Sheamus but that's just imo.
Personally though I'd like to see Captain Charisma get back in it for the surprise win.
Hell, DZ is more likely to get a surprise return win over those two. Hulk Hogan as well. Goldberg. The Rock. Ultimate Warrior. Chris Benoit.

I hope DZ comes back for it. I know RVD has been wanting to come back after that short hiatus since late December, early January. I haven't read too much about Christian.. But it does seem like both Sheamus & RVD will be in this RR.

They've announced 20 of the 30 competitors, so yea, Sheamus/RVD make sense. I think DZ should be healthy enough to appear. Still 7 spots. Hoping for Y2J. Probably a couple of old timers, but then you have acts like Ryder or Santino who could appear as well. They could maybe do something with the Bad News Barrett gimmick if he were in the match.

You think Y2J would return at RR again 1 year after he returned at RR last year? Interesting.
And I could've sworn there was 21 with Bad News Barrett in the match (didn't he announce on Main Event last week?)

But now I'm looking at it and BNB is definitely not on the list anymore. So I guess he was trolling.

Still betting Batista will obviously win. The final four will probably be Batista, Punk, Reigns and maybe Del Rio. Punk will give a "Never Say Die" performance and make it all the way to the end before being tossed out by Reigns (or he'll just be screwed over by HHH or one or more of his henchmen, therefore lighting a fire underneath Punk and intensifying his feud with The Authority), Del Rio will get tossed by Batista either before or after Punk, and then it'll come down to Batista and Roman Reigns. Reigns will have already lasted a long time and probably broken Kane's record for the most eliminations (which may play into Reigns' babyface turn in a small way later if that upsets Kane somehow) and Batista will look dominant (not that he wouldn't already) by being the one to finally take Reigns out.

Regardless of who wins (either Batista, Punk or Bryan), I'm betting Reigns is the last man who gets tossed out. Bryan eliminating Reigns last plays into the whole "David beating Goliath" scenario. Punk going the distance and getting rid of Reigns last bares similarities to the 2004 Rumble a decade ago when Benoit had to enter at #1 and then eliminate the Big Show at the end all by himself (Reigns isn't as massive as the Big Show, but still, similar logic.) Plus, the fact that Reigns is the only Shield member to beat Punk in a singles match will make it that much more of an underdog performance on Punk's part at the end.
