Wouldn't take it that far.
I predict Jerich, Taker or Cena for that spot. Or some other unannounced returning star (insert rumor mill usuals here)
TAKER!?!?!?
SADGLAJHGASJDGH STOP TROLLING THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!
Taker winning the Rumble would be stupid because:
a.) He'd have to win a belt he would never defend.
b.) He'd have to lose so he can't win a belt he would never defend.
c.) It takes a deserved push away from a young up-and-comer or younger vet with years left who could defend a belt they may possibly win.
Jericho isn't winning the Rumble, ever a-GAIN!
John Cena is the only name you mentioned that makes any sense.
But this thread is about Cody, who I did predict to return at the Rumble and win/come close to winning... but a Survivor Series return makes a bit of sense as well. Regardless, Cody has to be pushed hard upon return. Ever since MITB, the crowd has been hot behind the guy and the guy has been performing extremely well in the ring.
kind've messed up that he finally gets over huge for the first time in his career last night, and now he's gone.
Go watch Money In The Bank again........... you're welcome.
