Official "Royal Rumble 2011" Discussion Thread *CONTAINS SPOILERS*

[Altyrell]

i would love for ziggler to win the title from edge - if not at rumble then at elimination chamber.

The reasons for this .. well there are a few

i think ziggler is an immense wrestler and can put on a good match against any1 unlike edge - it might prove unpopular but i do not rate him in the ring and his feud with kane was funny at times but started to bore the hell out of me
another main reason i want ziggler champ for wm is because i would love for alberto del rio to win the royal rumble and go on and feud with ziggler for a while because the matches between these two would be fantastic.
Del rio is going to get a major push in 2011 i believe so i hope to god its not just undertaker/kane/edge getting title shot after title shot.

I don't think they'll have Del Rio and Ziggler feud while they are both Heels, cause they usually don't have 2 Heels feud each other nowadays.

Plus, even if Ziggler were to win either at RR or EC, then Edge would have a Rematch Clause that he would invoke.

[Zig Zag]

its quite rare for two heels to feud i know but who knows ...

with regards to the rematch clause - i cant think of many people in recent times who have regained the title when invoking their rematch clause - so hopefully that would mean ziggler would go to wm as champ

they seem to be turning drew face as well from the looks of things so maybe he will win the rumble and face maybe del rio or ziggler at wm because i dont see edge still being champ by the time wrestlemania arrives

WWE's FB just announced that Dolph vs. Edge is official for the Rumble.

Do we have a link on wwe's website or another site for the RR Participants?

No, not yet. We usually won't find out most of the RR Participants until the Match happens. The only "unconfirmed" one(s) is Del Rio and possibly R-Truth, Cody, Mysterio

[John]

^ Not at the moment.. WWE usually do a feature with the 30 guys, but I guess that will be put up closer to the time.

No we won't, they had a list last year with about 28 of the participants

[The Rioter]

Jericho or HHH Will Win ....
its clear !

I don't know, I can see them giving the win to someone younger.

[Age Of The Fool]

You won't find out all 30 until the match itself because so 'surprise' entrants (like Beth Phoenix last year) but with the size of WWE's roster it won't be hard to figure out 25+ of the participants. You take away the guys that are hurt and the champions, who will fill out the rest of the card, and WWE doesn't have that many guys.

Well this is the first LONG break between PPV's we've had so WWE is actually taking their time before revealing who's in the match. We usually get a list the week of the show.

Not counting the Diva's, this is a List of the Superstars:

1. Darren Young
2. David Hart Smith
3. David Otunga
4. Slater
5. Harris
6. Morrison
7. Mark Henry
8. Michael
9. Primo
10. R-Truth
11. Sheamus
12. Khali
13. Tyson
14. Del Rio
15. Chavo
16. Masters
17. Cody
18. Curt
19. Drew
20. Jackson
21. JTG
22. Kane
23. Yoshi
24. Zack
25. Justin
26. Mysterio
27. Trent
28. Tyler

Process of Eliminations: (1st) Champions and their (possible) Opponents in Matches outside of the RR. [Miz/Orton, Edge/Dolph, Santino & Kozlov/Uso's, Daniel/Ted?, Kofi/Swagger]. (2nd) Injured and unlikely to be in the RR itself. [Goldust, Evan, Skip, HHH, Christian, Taker]. (3rd) Eliminate possible other Matches [Cena/Punk, Wade/Show]. (4th) Take out other unlikely Wrestlers like Swoggle or those that hasn't been seen and is unlikely to appear, like Finlay - Regal - Tarver - Joey.

The list is now down to 28 Wrestlers. That list could get smaller if the possible matches Cena/Punk and Show/Wade include their respective Nexus Members (Punk = David, Harris, Michael -- Wade = Jackson, Justin, Slater). Which would leave 22 Wrestlers, not including possible surprises, like HHH. I left Khali on the list cause this would probably be the place that the WWE would have him return because it is unlikely that they'll give him any Return Promos.

Joey Styles posted the following message on Twitter this morning:

"This year, there will be 40 participants in the Royal Rumble Match instead of 30. It will be the biggest Royal Rumble Match in history!"

[Wolf]

It is also on WWE.com, now it is 40 men over the top, that is why the price went higher, because number of rumble participants increased
