>>16856951it's the least predictable year in quite some time i would say. big year, and a lot of storylines will derive from these matches, more than usual, and not just for the winners.
i think the most likely for the men's rumble is punk, but it's not a perfect fit. they'd have to either have him go for gunther and the jannetty title, or turn either him or cody heel. they were testing punk and gunther on the recent house show tour, and punk is a natural heel (though so is cody) so i could see either of those happening. cena's the favorite on betting odds but i just don't see it. roman isn't winning shit, at least he shouldn't, no one needs roman cody 3 right now.
the women's is still less clear. betting odds put charles on top, followed by bianca, iyo and becky. i think everyone is getting distracted by the possibility of charles v tiff at mania, i really think that's a feud that HHH's slow ass will drag out for as long as he can, not something they'll blow instantly. many people want iyo, but i don't think they'll turn rhea heel, even though they should she sucks as a face, plus with the recent report of prichard not liking iyo. becky will either feud with liv or lyra, no world title involved, no win for her. not super confident in it but if i had to guess i'll say bianca will win. it will get her back in singles and that'd be a good first real feud for tiffany.
