RTWM season begins! First ever non McMahon RTWM season ever. We'll see how different this one feels vs past ones.

The Rumble is one of the big tests for HHH/Stephanie since we know how much this sets the tone for the next few months.

Any guesses on rumble winners?

As unpopular as this pick is, I do hope Rock returns and wins the rumble.

For the Women's side, I could see it being Bayley, with Becky winning the title at elimination chamber which sets up Bayley vs Becky at WM.

This is the first I've heard of that being unpopular, most everything I've seen seems to show it'd be an incredible disappointment if it's not him (or Cody)

Cody Rhodes and Bayley or Rhea Ripley are my picks.

I've mainly just heard people wanting Cody and that's it.

Rock doesn't need to win the rumble, he could show up and immediately ends up facing Reigns at WM, but him winning the rumble would be so much cooler, especially if this is how his career ends.

I'm not sold on Cody being the one to end the title reign, but you never know, guess it depends on how they book him, especially with him being one of the guys who hasn't been booked by HHH yet.

If The Rock comes back and wins, they need to make Big Show the official 2000 Royal Rumble winner. I'm tired of these 2x winners recently with Edge and Lesnar (heck and Triple H).

I mean, he already admitted Big Show technically did win.

Based on past cards, we will probably have 3 or 4 non Rumble matches on the card.

We have 2 already, and Charlotte vs Sonya could be another.

I wonder if Raw will have any match or not. Judgment Day vs Usos is only thing I can think of since that makes more sense at the rumble than on Raw.
