i see cena winning it. i really think wwe will book orton vs. cena, as much as i dont want to see it. but they are two huge stars right now. the biggest, so it only makes sense that wwe book it as the main event.
the only star that could be made is del rio. he and mysterio is the only feud worthy of main eventing mania, and even then, its a real push. mysterio/del rio isnt spotlight like mania needs. but still, IF they wanted to make a star, del rio is who they'd make do it, then somehow get the strap on rey. but ya; will never happen. i see mysterio vs. del rio one on one at mania, but not in a ME spot.
anothr option is sheamus. continue the push even further by giving him the rumble match. but again, very unlikely. i see sheamus facing triple h, at mania. so he cant be in the main event spot.
so ya; all signs point to cena, imo. then orton will beat miz at rumble or chamber. they may even book a triple threat, to add a true heel to the mix. and it would be very wise to try and fit miz in, imo. he can reach out to tons of various media outlets aimed at different age groups. miz would be a good candidate for getting out to hollywood for mania.
even if every person in wwe were in the rumble, orton vs. cena is still the logical main event. and if a heel is needed, itll be miz. he is the star they are building right now.
I believe that the likeliest candidates for winning the Rumble are Del Rio and Sheamus. I can see Del Rio winning the Rumble and then going on to face Edge at Mania, culminating with Alberto grabbing the gold. That would be a great moment. As for Sheamus, I can see him winning then swapping the opportunity for a chance to go against The Undertaker as he'll want to further his accolades.

That would make Sheamus look like more of a moron then he has already looked like the past year.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Cena win it and then have Punk win the belt at Elimination Chamber to set up Punk/Cena for Wrestlemania.
What do you guys think will be the Other Matches in the PPV and which 30 Stars do you think will be in the Rumble. Also, do you think that there will be any "Surprised" Returns or One Night Only type thing.
They could possibly include a Diva Royal Rumble, possibly for the Number 1 contender to the WWE Diva's Title. If they do, and do have it for the #1 Contender, then Natalya wouldn't be in it. Vickie also probably won't be in it, they could also include/throw in a few of the "Rookie" Divas from the previous Season (Season 3) of NXT into the Match.
I predict that Chris Jericho will come back and win the Royal Rumble, then Randy Orton will win the title at Elimination Chamber to set up Orton/Jericho at WM for the title. The other title match will be Edge/Del Rio, and hopefully we'll get Undertaker/Cena.
Cena vs Orton would be a lot like Rock/Austin. Where one turns full heel. Have Cena pull a Stone Cold and turn his back on the fans and join forces with the enemy(was Vince but wouldn't be now). Sure it has been done, but it would still be cool.
Vince: "How about turning Cena heel?"
Little Kids: "Noooooooooooooooo! Die hard if you dare to turn our superhero heel."
Vince: "Ok then, Cena will remain as a face until the end of his career."
I don't see Cena winning the Rumble, maybe the Elimination Chamber but definitely not the Rumble. Some want that to go to Alberto but hes nowhere near ready for such an accolade. John Morrison would be a likely candidate but isn't he already number one contender? Its kinda hard to decide the winner actually.

Someone get the violins out for you...
"If We Can't Protect The Earth, You Can Be Damn Sure We'll Avenge It"

Get over it. You wouldn't turn Cena heel if you were Vince either.
If this Punk/Cena feud continues the way I think it's going to go, it wouldn't surprise me to see Punk win the Royal Rumble. It would instantly cement him as Raw's top heel (If he isn't already) and would make him seem like a legit thread to John Cena, who would win the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber.
