I originally thought Jericho would win but after him winning the US title and Undertaker announcing he's in I've changed my vote to Taker.
I think Taker is the only SD guy that has a shot. On RAW I could see Finn Balor if he's able to return and a slim chance of Braun Strowman if they want to do Reigns/Strowman for the RAW title.

Exactly half the field for the Rumble match has been confirmed. Goldberg Brock Lesnar Big E Kofi Kingston Xavier Woods Chris Jericho Braun Strowman Baron Corbin Seth Rollins The Undertaker Dean Ambrose The Miz Dolph Ziggler Cesaro Sheamus I feel like there's not gonna be as many jobbers/low card people as usual. By the time you add the likes of Randy Orton/Bray Wyatt/American Alpha/Enzo & Cass and some surprise entrants the match is basically full already. Curt Hawkins and Apollo Crews may be out of luck.  |

They do SD so dirty, lol.
SD only has 8 guys announced for the Rumble so far, compared to 13 from RAW (14 if you count Undertaker who seems to be RAW now).
Plus the SD women's match is on the pre-show. Hopefully it's at least towards the end when the stadium won't be near empty like the early WM pre-show matches last year.

I wish they had done another 40 man this year. So they could put some Cruiserweights and NXT guys. Seems like they're gonna be left in the cold this year.
I switched my vote from Rollins to Jericho. Rollins obviously isn't in, and I feel like Owens is going to beat Roman despite the stupid shark cage gimmick, so Jericho will win the Rumble since it's the one thing he's never done and make his rumored match with Owens at Mania for the Universal Championship. The WWE Championship is probably main eventing Mania anyway since the Universal title can't even main event a Raw only PPV.

Hopefully it's at least towards the end when the stadium won't be near empty like the early WM pre-show matches last year. The pre-show is 2 hours, but the arena is huge so it probably will be. Just in case some of you don't recall or didn't see the 97 Rumble, the arena is WrestleMania sized..  I swear if they just bust out the Raw or SD stage again for this PPV too.... |

This is probably the most unpredictable Rumble match in a while. I really have no idea.
At first I thought Jericho but the storyline with Owens is so much comedy that now I'm thinking there's more chance of it being in the midcard for the US title at WM than being the main RAW title match. I want those BPX points though so I'm pulling for him or Undertaker.
Taker has a shot but there have been a million different rumours about who he's facing at WM so who knows. Until there's literally zero chance of it happening and they've both moved onto new feuds I'm still keeping hope for Taker/Cena, whether it's for the title or not.
Goldberg and Lesnar will probably cancel each other out so I don't see either of them winning.
Braun Strowman probably has a slight chance.
Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton's inevitable feud could end up being for the title so either of them are possible.
Finn Balor could return or an NXT person like Samoa Joe could debut.
Buy yeah, I think I'll stick with Taker as my prediction.

Are we doing the Rumble Raffle this year? If so, put me down for 21. I can't watch live so I won't be online again until Tuesday when I've finally caught up on Takeover and the Rumble.

I'll take 13.
My internet has been playing up all week. I've watched every Rumble live since 2000 or 2001. Hopefully the streak can continue and my internet decides not to be a dick tomorrow night.

Ugh, whatever, fine. Everyone just post what number you want and spare me the trouble of copy and pasting last year's thread.
