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?
In brief:
-Angle's win could and would work in a similar way to HBK's first Rumble win(look it up, kids)
-HBK's first win was a wonderfully worked angle. Vince should learn from it.(sorry, too busy to rewrite how and why it was brilliantly worked)
He always lasts a ong time in battle royals and the last royal rumble. I think he is one of the shortest blokes but one of the ones people would like to see in the title frame. I remember before Palmer Cannon interuppted Theodore Long, Long was about to announce Mysterio as number one contender, when Cannon said Guerrero instead.
Im thinking if Batista does give the title up for his surgery, someone like Orton may win it and then that would leave the door open for a face to win the Rumble and get a shot at him?
I think the winner will be a first timer though, I'll go for Guerrero.
