Royal Rumble 2015 PPV Thread
It's time for everyone's favorite PPV of the year. Whether or not the product is good doesn't really matter, the Rumble always finds a way to deliver. With that being said let's look at the card:

The show kicks off with two of the most lol gimmicks we've seen in a very long while. Adam Rose was so terrible they were forced to turn him heel to try to save any hope of him making it at all. The WWE somehow outdid themselves by creating a faction that gets even less of a reaction than Rose. For some reason two of the best wrestlers in the company have decide to join Adam Rose and take on the New Day.
Prediction:
Cesaro and Kidd do a bunch of awesome moves and find a way to make this trainwreck of a match interesting. In the end New Day picks up the victory and still gets no crowd reaction.

Next we have The Ascension vs. The New Age Outlaws. Ever since their debut The Ascension have being boasting that they are better than all the legends. JBL has buried them on commentary for this. This resulted in the Ascension getting a beat down from The NWO, APA, and New Age Outlaws on Raw Reunion.
Prediction:
The Ascension should win in a squash similarly to The Shield at Wrestlemania when they faced the NAO. If not don't expect to see The Ascension on a PPV card again any time soon.

I honestly don't know what the build to this is. I'm guessing it has something to do with Total Divas?
Prediction:


We follow that up with the Usos vs. Miz and Sandow. Sandow has been getting a face reaction and Miz has been getting a heel reaction. This has led to Miz getting upset and eventually costing them the tag titles.
Prediction:
The Usos win and this leads to Miz and Sandow splitting up. I hope I'm wrong because I want to see a spot in the rumble where Miz gets eliminated and Sandow eliminates himself.

This match should be great. The build has been good, and adding Seth to the mix will help spice up the Brock/Cena match we've seen before.
Prediction:
Brock should never be loosing here but it is WWE after all. Regardless I'm still going to pick Brock to retain the title. Rollins will eat the pin so Cena doesn't have to technically lose.
Finally we have the 30 man Royal Rumble match. This match almost always delivers in some type of fashion. Will we see a repeat of last years Royal Rumble where the crowd completely turns on the match? Seems like a very possible scenario. The rumble is always good for a couple returns and surprise entrants. The returns are likely to be:

And rumors are that the surprise entrants could be:
The winner of the match is really a two horse race. It's either going to be:

or

Prediction:
As much as my heart wants it to be Bryan, my head keeps saying Reigns. I predict Reigns to win the Royal Rumble and beat Brock at Wrestlemania.
Overall should be a pretty good show. The result of the title match should tell us a lot about what is going to happen in the rumble. Whether Bryan or Reigns wins will dictate how most feel about this show.
Also let us never forget the 2005 Royal Rumble commercial:
