Brock being behind the Shield would be interesting.

And fitting, given that tattoo on his chest.

One must also have a shield in order to effectively wield a sword.

Well, honestly, the only reason it wouldn't happen is that Vince hates it when people know what's going to happen, to the point that he'll change stuff just because, whether or not it makes sense.

Yep. Hoping everyone keeps talking up Rock/Cena II and HHH/Lesnar II at WrestleMania to the point where this happens because I don't want to see those matches.

All well and good but then when people fail to predict stuff it's because they had it all figured out and Vince changed everything at the last minute and not because, you know, they failed to predict what was going to happen.

He's wrestling tomorrow afternoon about two hours before the Rumble in southern California.

Still gives him roughly 3 hours to get to Phoenix in time for the Rumble match at 6:30pm Pacific. No problem. Zeke's already waiting at LAX with plane tickets.

I'm guessing 2 of the "surprise" entrants will be Christian and Evan Bourne. I'm callin it!

Those aren't suprise entrie- oh wait, you did the quote thing around surprise because you were being facetious. My bad!

Nobody answered my question earlier so I'm asking it again:
Who does John Cena face at the Elimination Chamber PPV in 3 weeks after winning tonight's Rumble match?

And I would like an answer that ISN'T him facing Dolph Ziggler for the umpteenth time with his WrestleMania title match on the line.

Looking forward to the Rumble tonight - I'm expecting great things from Rock vs Punk and the Rumble match itself is usually good fun. As for surprises, I would love to see a return of The Animal.

If Cena wins, it'll be either be a match with Punk or a Triple Threat with Rock/Punk/Cena

Also I put the quote around surprise because they're still on the roster and coming back from injuries..only natural they would do it here ya know?

Why would Cena fight Punk at Elimination Chamber when Punk will have not exercised his rematch clause to get his title back from Rock? Granted, he could do that on television but why give away Rock vs. Punk on free TV? And then why would you keep both Punk and Cena out of the Chamber while putting Dwayne inside of it? None of that makes sense.

And if you go with the triple threat idea, why would they have Cena and Rock face off in any kind of match at Elimination Chamber prior to building up "Twice in a Lifetime" at Mania... when Cena ALREADY has the title shot locked in? That also makes little sense.

The big problem with a Cena Rumble win is that his only logical opponents are Dwayne, Punk and Ziggles. The first two don't make sense with a 3-week post-Rumble build for a transitional PPV and the ensuing build towards Mania within the context of Cena having a locked-in title shot and the 3rd has been done to death and has already devalued Ziggler terribly (which seems like a terrible thing to do prior to his feud with Del Rio... although I suppose they could always have Ziggles go over in contrast to every other Cena-Ziggles match).

In short, I don't think you can have Cena win the Rumble because I think you need to have Cena in a Chamber match next month... possibly to even win the title pre-Mania.
You can't logically put Cena in a Chamber match if he's already got the Rumble spot locked in... unless he's going for both titles.

Having somebody else win the Rumble... Cesaro (after losing the US title), Ziggles, Orton, Sheamus, Dwayne, Punk (after losing the WWE title), ADR (after a Ziggles MITB cash-in), Bryan, Brock, Big Show, Ryback, Taker, ANYBODY... gives you so many more booking options for the next two PPVs (even to set up Cena vs. Rock II) than having Cena win the Rumble.

They'll just have Cena squash The Shield at Elimination Chamber.

That would suck... but it would work.
Would really make Ryback & Hell No look like complete ass in the process.
Burying 6 guys on the roster would be a nice warm up to defeating the People's Champ and walking out of Mania with the WWE Championship to countless cheers from the NYC faithful.

It would actually be worth seeing all of that happen just to see that rabid crowd completely lose their shit at the result.
