Never forget the GAF reaction when that happened.
It's even better when you remember that he already had a title match earlier at the PPV yet for some reason Henry isn't allowed the same luxury.
Speaking of which even if Brock destroys Show in convincing fashion at the rumble I will still hold onto the chance that Show enters the rumble anyway to much disappointment.
Pittsburgh which is notorious for sitting on there hands.
Also, with Bryan the WWE gave him a new hashtag to use on twitter called the Yesmovement. Catchy but to be said probably a lot on tv when he comes back.

They should try to do something like this at least every other year. Have someone who has no legitimate shot get a near fall or two. At worst you get a memorable moment, at best you get a decent push behind someone completely new that you can experiment with.
Antonio Cesaro could be this guy. They don't have a lot of that kind of people though.

He still might! His finest moment.
If Cena wins title match, Bryan wins rumble.
If Orton wins title match, Batista wins rumble.
Only two combinations that make sense to me.
Could be Bork or Punk as well.
And if Bryan will not be able to be part of the Rumble? Also Cana vs another face sounds unappealing.
He shined more than enough last year and people would rather cover that shine up.

I don't see Reigns winning it. Even though I like the idea it just feels too soon.
Bork/Taker and Punk/HHH seem set in stone at this point
Bryan coming in at 30, only having to do a couple of low impact moves, and winning it would be something else. Hopefully that concussion isn't too serious.

I hope Kofi Kingston wins the Rumble.

Who starts the rumble . I think it's punk
It probably is, but it would be a cool surprise. It would come out of nowhere because he isn't established in the title picture at all. The end could actually be him throwing out the other Shield members for the win.

I was gonna say D Bry, but then the concussion happened

If they mention this concussion business -at all- beyond he's out of the Rumble due to it or he suffered one, something's up in Denmark.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

I remember when fighting over a spot in the Rumble was a thing, as well as having matches that determine which number you'd be. Shit just feels unenthusiastic these days. Just another PPV.
Guys tomorrow is the day!
Deacon Batista returns
That's actually true. maybe they will do something tomorrow?
Yeah, it felt strange recently when wrestlers just show up and go "I'm in the Rumble!"
"but don't you have to ea-"
"I DO WHAT I WANT"
I think the only three possible winners are Batista, CM Punk, and Bryan. Outside of those, it would take something ridiculous like The Rock returning. From those three though, it seems CM Punk could be out of the running since it does seem like CM Punk vs. Triple H is being set up for Wrestlemania. I highly doubt that would be for the title. I also don't see CM Punk in any potential main event at the moment since the opponents don't seem to fit.
That leaves Daniel Bryan and Batista as the only possible winners in my eyes. The only way Batista is being thrown out of that Royal Rumble is by somone like Lesnar. No normal superstar will eliminate him. It would make sense if Lesnar is eliminated by Batista that he just comes right back in and gets rid of him. That keeps them both looking strong and they can carry on the rivalry through the Elimination Chamber by screwing each other over for the title. Batista's promo mentions he wants the title, and Lesnar's current storyline is that he wants the title. So you could work it all into that and get them out of the title hunt post Elimination Chamber.
Batista's return is being hyped a huge amount though, so it'd be anti-climactic that he returns and doesn't win. That's why I think he's winning and Lesnar is taking the title in the Elimination Chamber.
One day remains. The Brotista era begins again.

True, but it'd be a bit random that he just comes in and throws out Batista when they've had no altercations. I hope Lesnar is in the match. It would absolutely be terrible if we get him for PPV and he's wasted on Big Show.

Ah so that's the plan for face Roman Reigns, Reindeer Rei(g)ns, the spear will be renamed the antler attack and he jingles away in the corner for move the start up.
He's just making sure no one sneaks up on him, such ring awareness from the Ice Cold Miz.

Remember when Miz's logo was just a zoomed in monochromatic shot of his eyes in a rectangular border?
How many stars have WWE pushed with multiple title wins or main event runs, and they're all basically failures for the most part? Sheamus, Del Rio, Miz. I can't even believe The Miz was in the main event of Wrestlemania 27. I can't believe either Sheamus or Del Rio won a Royal Rumble. The two titles really screwed them over in my opinion. You've had a bunch of glorified mid-carders basically having multiple title runs. CM Punk should have won in 2011 and gone on to face Cena at Wrestlemania 27. I wanted him to win in 2010. I still can't understand how he hasn't managed to win and somehow Del Rio and Sheamus did.
2012 was pretty much screwed either way since Punk was champion. 2013 they got around thanks to The Rock. This year they at least have someone worthy like Bryan on the active roster, and CM Punk since he hasn't already won.
WWE's done a terrible job of building new stars.

Thats crazy. Bryan must be officially a draw. They only offer refunds when Cena doesnt show.
Basically the two tours are the Bryan and Punk one and the Cena one. So Bryan is one top guys advertised for those house shows so that's why they are offering refunds.
Also in Indie Wrestling or Sonjay Dutt deserves better:
