My favorite PPV of the year is nearing. Saturday Night's Main Event should be one of the last big shows before the go-home in terms of lead-in.

Any predictions on the winner, strong showings, or even surprise entrants?

I'm thinking that Punk would have had to have negotiated a Wrestlemania Main Event into his contract, so wondering if his storyline with Heyman owing a favor plays out here. Was thinking it'd play out that way until Punk's interview on tonight's RAW, which seemed to make it almost too obvious.

What's John Cena's role going to be in all of this? Thinking that we see a late entry before his eventual Wrestlemania opponent screws and eliminates him.



Think we'll see a strong showing from:

Penta - enters somewhere between 3-7, gets some high spots and maybe more than 1 elimination before a big name throws him out;

Bron Breaker - will probably enter in the teens, look like a monster throwing out midcarders, get a big elimination or two, then get thrown out by a big name (and being protected by the "fatigue" factor);

Drew McIntyre & Seth Rollins - no way that they aren't booked strong at minimum;

[-STAT-]

I love reading all the dirt sheets online, seems like some rumors that you see out there come true and most are just that, rumors.

Also seen where the participant list got leaked, who eliminated who and the eventual winner, doubt it is true but it was fun to look at it. Think it had The Rock as the #30 entrant, with Cena eliminating him to win the Rumble, now I would be HIGHLY surprised to see that happen.

As for who I think wins, I think it'll be CM Punk, but CJ like you said, I can see an alternative where he doesn't win, gets screwed by Seth Rollins, then Punk calls in that favor to Paul Heyman after helping with the bloodline story. But Punk has never main evented a Wrestlemania, and at this point outside of Roman Reigns, Punk is the biggest draw in the company. A Rhodes-Punk WM main event would sure be a dandy, may not be what fans or even the causal viewer wants, of course they want Reigns or Rock, but Punk-Rhodes would be the route I'd go. But CJ I am like you, Royal Rumble has always been my favorite pay-per view as well.

Hard to say. Normally you can narrow it down to a couple but so many stories that it is hard to pinpoint it down.
