WWE Royal Rumble Discussion w/Live Updates!
Posted: Jan 29th, '12, 04:19
Tonight is honestly my favorite PPV of the year, the Royal Rumble. On the card tonight we have 2 world title matches, a regular match and of course the Royal Rumble.
CM Punk will defend his WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler with John Laurinaitus acting as the special guest referee. 2 weeks ago, Laurinaitus claimed he would screw Punk out of the title but this past week showed a possible change of heart when told that he was going to be under review due to his questionable proclamation. He will get his review on the RAW following the Rumble by Triple H.
Daniel Bryan will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against the Big Show & Mark Henry inside a Steel Cage. It will be interesting to see whether or not this match will be changed due a legit injury Mark Henry suffered this past week on SmackDown.
John Cena will finally get his match with Kane after weeks and weeks of Kane telling Cena to embrace the hate. In that time, Kane has attacked both Cena & Zack Ryder. This past week he chokeslammed Ryder through the stage during their falls count anywhere match on RAW. After the match, Eve who overacted her nice a** off blamed Cena for what Kane did to Ryder. After which, Josh Matthews attempted to interview Cena only to have Cena smack the microphone out of his hand and put on a constipated face which they're passing off as him being angry. We'll see how that plays into the match.
Last but certainly not least, we have the Royal Rumble. We knew a few names who are going to be in it. The Miz, R-Truth, Sheamus, Wade Barrett & Mick Foley. We don't know the order except for The Miz who after losing to R-Truth this past week on RAW, will start at #1. Chris Jericho claimed that tonight, it will be the end of the world as we know it. Don't know if that means he's in the Rumble or whether he'll mess with another match on the card. Either way i'm very interested in watching this PPV.
