since I posted last night Punk has moved in from 25/1 to 20/1.

Can't decide whether to bet now and get the odds or wait for the outcome of the championship match

I doubt it will be as Shango, but I could see an appearance by the Godfather.

Maybe as Kama Mustaffa

[SheamusFan]

Guys, you're not going to believe this! PAPA SHANGO IS ENTERING THE ROYAL RUMBLE!

[Chael Sonnen]

Opportunity for a major curveball here. I hope WWE doesn't play it safe and move forward with Cena/Rock II. Add Punk in there and make it a triple threat.

Rock wins the WWE Championship
CM Punk enters at #30 and last eliminates either Cena or Ryback
John Cena wins an Elimination Chamber match to get added into the main event of WrestleMania.

Rock/Cena/Punk for the WWE Championship.

[Chael Sonnen]

All three members of The Shield are expected for the Royal Rumble tonight. Gregory Helms and Chris Masters were spotted with WWE crew in Phoenix.

Wings on at 7:30 tonight, I'll have the stream running in the background. I onlt really care about the Rock and Rumble matches though.

[SheamusFan]

I posted a spoiler thread. PLZ NO MORE SPOILER TALK HERE.

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Why would anyone want to be spoiled for THE ROYAL RUMBLE.

As disappointed as I would be with Punk losing tonight, him winning the rumble would be absolutely incredible. A triple threat main event for WM29 is what I would like to see, although I know Cena would go over clean.

[Chael Sonnen]

Part of me wants Rock to win so there's a possibility of Punk in the Rumble.

Another part of me wants Punk to retain to keep the reign going and being challenged by Undertaker at WM. Streak vs Streak.

Punk isn't going to win end the Undertaker's streak, and the Undertaker isn't going to be champ. A UT win by DQ is not going to happen in a WM main event. I just don't see a way out of that. If the Punk/UT rumors (and they are barely that) are true, then Punk will do the job. He owes the company a few jobs after a 400+ day reign anyways.

It will add fuel to the feud if he wins the Rumble after dropping the Title. Or Punk wins, and Rock wins the Rumble. He's never won it. I'd rather he finally win it than some others who haven't and shouldn't be in a WM main event.

yeah, i hit ignore on the other thread just so I don't get tempted...besides the old survivor series format, RR is my favorite PPV

[chuckdobbins]

Legitimately pumped for tonight. Really strong card, even without the rumble match. I really just hope they don't play it safe with a Rock and Cena victory tonight. Actually, anything other than that and I would consider the show a win. Scratch that, I want Ryback nowhere near the main event title scene for now also, so he best not be the last man standing.

I thought Rocky won it in 2000?

Is this spoiler free?

Rock and Big Show co-won it. It set up the elimination four way match at WM that year between them HHH and Mick.

@CMPunk:

I'm paying 1000 American dollars to every person in the rumble, every time they point at the sign.

[Marf]

Looking forward to this, first ppv I've bothered with since Money in the Bank

That's right. I thought he won it flat out.

[SomeDude]

Planned on going to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch it with a buddy, but I've called the 3 closest ones to me and they all said they don't do WWE PPV's anymore because nobody comes to watch them.

Anyone in the Pittsburgh area know of any places showing it tonight?

Hopefully. Please please please swerve me WWE. I don't want Ryback, Cena or Sheamus standing tall when the night is over.

[parabola]

Card seems really good on paper.
