Royal Rumble 2010

Posted by Joe on January 31, 2010 at 5:55 PM

First let me say, this should be a good night.  The Rumble match never fails to impress, and then we have Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio, which I feel can be the match of the year.  So, lets get into my predictions.


First we have Michelle McCool vs. Mickie James for the Women's Title.  Now, this "Piggy James" storyline is just stupid, and seeing Mickie James win here, would most likely usher in the end of that storyline, so not only do I want to see James win, I do think she will win.  For months they have been having McCool just torture Mickie James, I really just cannot picture them putting McCool over James.  But then again, it's still only the Divas division and it's not like anything too big is happening there, meaning no matter what WWE does, it won't have a big effect on anything really.


Next we have Christian vs. Eziekiel Jackson for the ECW Title.  Not much to say, I really am not looking forward ot this match and I really hope they don't give it a ton of time.  As for who wins, I say Christian, but I guess it is possible that they give Zeke the title if they are thinking of, in the long run, making something out of him.  But, I say Christian retiains.


Next is Sheamus vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship.  I say Sheamus wins, because of all the spoilers we are hearing about WrestleMania XXVI.  We are hearing that Triple H faces Sheamus for the WWE Title at WM, os I go with Sheamus retaining here.  I think it can be a good match, Sheamus has shown he can be pretty good in the ring, but from a "establishing Sheamus" standpoint, having him face Orton is a debatable move.  See, they are still establishing Sheamus as a big heel in WWE, yet they put him against the most hated heel in WWE.  In doing that, Sheamus may not get the huge heel pop WWE wants him too.  Having Sheamus defeat or beat up the most hated heel in WWE won't make the fans hate Sheamus.


Next is Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship.  I am really looking forward to this match, and like I said in the beginning, I actually think this can be the match of the entire year.  I have no doubt that Undertaker wins, but the match should be great.


Last we have the Royal Rumble Match.  I say Triple H wins this, and like the spoiler says, goes on the WM to face Sheamus.  If it makes any difference also, I think HBK and HHH would make a great final two.


Overall, I think it can be a great PPV.  While I do feel the Rumble match and 'Taker vs. Rey will carry the PPV, Orton vs. Sheamus can be good.  The other matches really aren't anything special, it's not like they make the card worse.
