Already one of the most anticipated PPV's in a while. Between Rock vs. The Champ (presumably CM Punk) and the Rumble itself, this is a guaranteed buy from me. My first PPV since WM as well.

I think there will be less of them this year for sure. Assuming the WWE title match is what we're expecting, we've got a lot of big names available for the rumble match this year.

As for who, I'd love another Boogeyman appearance, maybe a JBL cameo (get Ron Simmons in there too and have an APA reunion) and possibly some of these rumoured former mid carders coming in.

I think they're building up to have Taker come back, but they've already done that one a few years ago so hope they don't

With the recent news of Shelton being in talks with WWE, I wouldn't be surprised to see him come back at the RR. Honestly, the WWE Title match has sold this PPV with Rock's name on it alone, and given WWE's past 3 shows over the past 3 days, I am hoping they go big at RR once again.

This might be a good way to reintroduce some of the talent that's supposedly coming back.

Shelton Benjamin
MVP
2 legends
Possibly Brock Lesnar
Possibly Undertaker

The ROCK HAS FINALLLY got another title shot....fucking awesome!

BTW, I think a nice surprise entrance would be none other than for pure shits and giggles, Gillberg! XD

In all seriousness, it would be nice to see someone like Stone Cold be one but that wouldn't happen.

Remember when I kept trying to tell you that Dwayne would be wrestling Punk for the title @ Royal Rumble but you'd hear none of it?

Told you so.

O.P updated. Names confirmed for the rumble so far are John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler & 3MB. One of these things does not belong.

This is shaping up to be one hell of a PPV.
