Honestly, I can see Reigns winning the rumble and eliminating Bryan. The WWE is capable of that and normally they don't learn from their mistakes. But I hope that Bryan wins it.
I still can't believe they are considering someone like Reigns to win the Rumble. It's a WM main event we're talking about, while this guy has only had one relevant 1v1 match before. There is no way a decent company should trust a guy with that resume for such an important task. Not saying he should never trusted to do that, but clearly not this year.
I think a bigger issue is the prospect of orton winning. I want him as far from the main event of wrestlemania as possible. I do want Bryan to win, but reigns is a fresh face and I don't think the crowd to boo him as he's getting cheers all the time and was over even when in the sheild. At least the rummble is less predicable than the last few years and cena won't be winning!
I don't like the idea of Bryan having the big moment twice in a row, it could be a great opportunity to push guys like Dolph Ziggler, Ambrose, Wyatt, etc.
I don't even care if Bryan wins or loses, but there's no doubt in my mind that most other fans won't be as forgiving.
And isn't Philly one of the smarkiest crowds around? :lol
That said, I didn't think the WWE had any plans to have Reigns win recently. There were a lot of reports that the WWE were considering other popular faces as well and were disappointed with the lack of Reigns' reactions.
It's possible WWE thinks they need to appease Bryan fans by giving him that proper run. Storyline wise, Bryan merits an immediate title shot because he never lost it in the ring. Vince is a capricious man though, so damned if anyone truly knows where this all ends.
Reigns is not winning the Rumble.. Would you guys get over that, you guys have no reason to think that.. There's 0% chance Reigns wins the Royal Rumble.. Bryan will win it over Reigns.
I'm not even a Bryan fan and personally want Ambrose to ME Mania against Rollins for the title but even I can see Bryan is the only guy who should really win the Rumble here.
It could actually save him in reality if they don't have him win. If Reigns doesn't win the Rumble and isn't going to be in the title match, he's still going to have a big match at WM. It also means they are going to pull the trigger on him at WM 32, which will give him another year of main event level matches and time to grow on the mic. They wont face fan backlash and be forced to turn him heel.
He'll be more ready in 2016 than 2015. Going back to the shield breakup and his injury, Reigns really is only 3 months into his singles run. It's just too soon.
This doesn't screw over Reigns. It makes things more interesting because now it feels like someone else has a chance to win. The crowd would probably crap over Reigns regardless with the way they portray him (not organically).
They may still go with Reigns because odds are Philly is going to hate on Reigns no matter what. Plus it took heaven and earth to move for Bryan to get in the WM Main Event last year and unless Cena walks out on them this year the guy they want is going to be in the match they want.
You just worry about getting us more picture of Katy Perry in lingerie.
