My pick for the Rumble winner is a slight surprise in Cody Rhodes. I think the prohibitive favorites are Orton (in his hometown), Jericho, or Sheamus.

The dude abides.
I'm going with Chris Jericho. After he wins the Rumble, instead of wanting a WM Title shot, he demands to face the Undertaker at WM 28.
Sheamus wins in what was a really good final two matchup at the Rumble with Y2J.
Royal Rumble results. I was hoping for Jericho to pull out the win. It will be interesting to see what he does now.
Brodus Clay def. Drew McIntyre.
Daniel Bryan def. Big Show and Mark Henry to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix, Natalya and The Bella Twins def. Kelly Kelly, Eve, Alicia Fox and Tamina.
John Cena vs. Kane ends in a Double Countout.
CM Punk def. Dolph Ziggler to retain the WWE Championship.
Sheamus eliminates Chris Jericho to become the 2012 WWE Royal Rumble winner.

This was an AWESOME spot last night:
Thanks for posting that JB. I heard about it and have been wanting to see it. Did somebody ride a bike to the ring last night?
Ok, thanks JB. I never watch Smackdown so that was new to me. lol
after the count-out, kane went backstage, found ryder in a wheelchair, and beat the hell out of him. kane rolled him out to the ring in his wheelchair, eve then came running out begging kane not to hurt ryder, to which kane responds by tombstoning him. kane turns toward eve, then cena comes running out to save her, and kane chokeslams cena. so i'm assuming the pic was taken at this point.
Ryder's getting attention from Eve ........ I don't like being jealous of Zack Ryder.

It looks like we are going to see UT/HHH III at WrestleMania XXVIII. I was hoping that we would get someone new to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania. I have no interest in seeing them go at it again. UT will be a perfect 5-0 vs DX after WM 28 is over.
Nahfor me...their match last year was just a few notches below HBK's battles with him. Rumor has it that HBK may be the guest ref.
Here's a hilarious site, and it's got the attention of guys like JR, Colt Cabana, and Brodus Clay who all love it.

Slighty different. Trips ended the staredown with a pat on the back like he doesn't care.
Because Trips put him out of commission. He hasn't been back since Wrestlemania.
Like I said before, these two put on a HELL OF A MATCH that was ten times better than the first Wrestlemania they fought. If they put on that kind of performance again, I'm not going to mind the rematch.

* Sheamus won in only his second Royal Rumble Match appearance. He is also the first Irish-born Royal Rumble Match winner.
* This is the second time a WWE Superstar has entered at No. 22 and won the Royal Rumble Match - Triple H did it back in 2002.
