    Is Lesnar fighting at rumble and elimination chamber? Anyone know

    I think Lesnar has one more PPV before WM. So, unless his challenge to the champ is for a Raw and not Elimination Chamber, I'd guess they'd have him wrestle at Elimination Chamber. I haven't heard anything for a while about 'Taker appearing at the Rumble either, even though I'd read rumors about that a month or two ago.

    I'm guessing Brock is in the EC match at the EC PPV. And everything I've heard so far is 'Taker vs. Lesnar at WM XXX. (Though I did hear a rumor the other day about it being Undertaker vs. Daniel Bryan at WM XXX. But, I'm hoping Bryan is involved in a World title match that day, no matter whether they've kept the titles unified or separated them by that time.)

    Steve Austin deserves to be taken behind the barn and shot for that scourge against the wrestling world.

    With Royal Rumble being one of WWE's main PPV, Brock I believe will be at Rumble. The Rock made last years Rumble one of the biggest drawing rumbles in a long time I feel WWE will use Lesnar to keep pace with last years sales. As what Triple H would say, "It's what's right for business":wink: Plus why have him come back now? And have Mark Henry come out, if he isn't fighting til next month? As for Brock vs Undertaker...WWE had plans for Rock vs Brock but Rock tore his pectoral muscle. I think undertaker couldn't take the bumps Brock really gives. It's also supposedly in Brocks contract to have a title reign, I'm guessing it starts at Mania.

    Cheers

    For what its worth, they were (or maybe still are?) planning on doing Lesnar vs Big Show at Royal Rumble. PUKE!

    Unless they did this again


    Then they'd have Lesnar take on Undertaker. Now it seems like Undertaker may not be able to go against Lesnar, so they announced that Lesnar wanted a title shot. Should be interesting to see what they do. Maybe they'll do a triple threat at Mania between Orton/Cena, the Rumble Winner and Brock Lesnar?

    The issue with having Lesnar at Rumble is that all the major players are going to be in the rumble match or in the title match. I think it would be a waste to have Lesnar beat the Big Show/Mark Henry/Big E at rumble. Unless Lesnar actually does enter the Rumble.


    I wouldn't mind this card at Wrestlemania:
    Undertaker vs John Cena
    Orton (C) vs Lesnar vs Daniel Bryan
    CM Punk vs HHH
    Batista vs Roman Reigns
    Sheamus vs ???

    Still waiting for Cena to turn heel. WMXXX would be perfect for it.

    Cena is like Austin, they've tried to turn him heel multiple times but it never quite works he has to large a fan base. There will be some who will always hate him, but a vast majority will love him

    I agree, with ya. Hard to take him as a heel when he does all the military/charity things he does, plus the kids love him. But Hogan did it why not Cena? But he sells so much merchandise so I don't think he ever will.

    Hogan had the help of changing companies and basically coming in as a heel, but they went head first into him becoming heel. No one has time for them to do that these days

    I can only see Lesnar winning the title at EC and then losing it at Mania. Like the Rock the title reign couldn't last too long because he doesn't do house shows. I don't believe the WWE wants to run months of house shows with no world champion on the card. They could do a Lesnar title win at EC and have him face Rumble winner at Mania. If they really are building towards Danial Bryan finally winning the title at Mania, it could be against Lesnar, that would be a real Danial Bryan being the underdog story. Could even make it a triple threat with someone else like Orton.

    I too have hoped for a Cena heel turn for a while, but WWE seems to be content in teasing it but leaving Cena in the same spot. Which when you think about it does work because he can be a face against certain opponents and a "heel" against others (Punk, Bryan, etc.)

    With that said here is one of many favorite Rumble moments. Macho Man going for the pin in the 93 Rumble ha ha, didn't go so well. Macho Man was fantastic.

    Also whatcha gonna do if this guy is involved in Rumble or Mania....



    Not sure how I feel about him endorsing my Patriots, but it would be interesting seeing a return to WWE. I would love Hogan in the Rumble (probably no chance in hell this happens). There is also a chance that if he takes a bump, he won't get up.

    A Mania appearance on the other hand is a real possibility. Personally I would prefer just an appearance, or a lower card match like a tag match against the Real Americans or something. The guy can barely move so if he thinks he should have a match with Cena or Punk or something, then he is out of his mind brother!

    Only three more weeks people! Still need a couple emails from ....
    @sandman3479
    @jh1976
    @DonSaleen747
    @tommyguz
    @IPAdams

    Also, some guys (off the top of my head) that I would consider not to be a surprise entrant:
    - Bautista
    - Brock Lesnar
    - Chris Jericho
    - RVD
    - Undertaker

    Can anyone think of others? I saw that Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the Brooklyn Brawler had a match in 2013, but I would consider either to be surprise entrants. Thoughts?

    Sorry, wasn't clear in last post (and heaven forbid there's an edit button). Just need email addresses from those people.

    .... Also gonna add Sheamus to the list.

    I think anyone aside from the people you mentioned (sheamus, Batista, RVD, Jericho and Lesnar), should be considered a surprise.

    Honestly, I'd consider the Undertaker a surprise.

    I'm open to some healthy discussion, and if there are more people who feel the same way I'll change it. But Undertaker always comes back for Wrestlemania and is on the "active roster" (for what it's worth).

    Plus it'll help to pass time for the next 20 days.

    Taker always comes back for Mania completely agree, but he is rarely in the Rumble... I agree it would be a surprise

    Ok, Undertaker will be considered a surprise entrant. I suppose I'm easily persuaded.

    So far, the only "confirmed" participants are:
    Bautista
    Alberto Del Rio

    28 more spots to go ....

    I'd like if the first three people in the rumble were the shield and were forced to fight each other.

    Undertaker has been doing less and less each year. Last year he started after Elimination Chamber. It would be a total shock (and awesome) if he did enter the Rumble.


    Sadly, it appears we will be getting Lesnar vs Big Show at RR.
