Seeing as were coming up to the end of the year, its round about now that the WWE start to push someone into the main event limelight ready for a Royal Rumble victory. Usually its pretty obvious who this will be (Batista, Benoit before and so on...) but currently, I don't see anyone on either roster thats worth having win the Royal Rumble.
Its an unwritten rule that a face should win a Rumble as its suppose to be a celebration of their acheivements at the end of the night (i.e. your not going to cheer Triple H as a heel winning the rumble), but with both champions currently being faces, what are the WWE going to do?
The first name that springs to mind is Angle, having never won a Rumble before, coming up to retirement soon due to his neck and quite obviously being the best damn wrestler in the business today, he seems the only logical choice. But would the win as a Heel work?
Other possibilitys: - The return of Jericho and the win at the Rumble? Unlikely, what with Trips influence, Benoit? US Champ, won it before, Triple H? quite possible and a return match with Batista? Guerrero? Again, quite possible, but I don't see how it would work with Batista as champ, Michaels? Won it before and not in his prime anymore. Other contenders are Edge and JBL, but the latter of two just doesn't work as he's not over enough.
So my question to you is, who do you think the Royal Rumble winner will be in 2006?

Except for people like HBK who have been consistantly(bar a career threatening injury) in the title picture since losing the it.

i agree everytime a superstar that gets a push and a match for the title its always the same
he will lose n lose every rematch he gets and we wont hear of him as a championship contender, then he will either quit or get another title shot and win the title.
its almost predictable
also i like this idea for the elimination survivor series

Yeah this conversation seems very weird now after finding out he's dead.
Well, none of that;s going to happen now. Unfortunately.

Yeah there is, if he does lose it I bet Guerrero wins it and someone takes his place on the Survivor Series team, probably Kennedy who lost to him.

Hmmm, possibly with Eddie winning the title as Ortons facing Taker at SS in a buried alive match.

I'd really like to see Benoit and Eddie as the final two in the Rumble and then have Eddie win, but I doubt that will happen.
As for Mysterio, his recent push has sorta propelled him to the stage where he could win the Rumble, but if he then went on to win the World Title it'd be stupid.
Edit - Benoit will probably be facing Booker T at the Rumble though, ruling him out of a spot... meh.

If i saw correctly after Smackdown it said there is a triple threat this week of Orton Vs Guerrero Vs Batista for the title.
May be the match in which he loses the title.

If the title is vacated one possibility is that the winner of the Rumble could be declared the new champion like Flair was after he won the 92 Rumble after the Undertaker was stripped of the title. You could say that it doesn't matter if it's a RAW or Smackdown superstar but if a RAW star were to win it they would have to move to Smackdown. It would mean having no champ for 2 months but the build up could be fantastic.
