Juice Make Sugar’s Crystal Ball: The 2015 Royal Rumble

The N1ckster’s Best Estimates:

Pre-Show: The Usos v. MizDo(w)s

Having the most eyes on the match that is the best example of what wrestling can be for a casual fan makes the most sense to me.

Roman Reigns v. Big Show

If the WWE is serious about Roman Reigns as the man who will dethrone Brock Lesnar and John Cena, they will likely not let him work a real match until the Royal Rumble, and put him with the best possible person for him: The Big Show. Show is a big enough star to make Reigns look like the demi-god they need him to be, and is good enough in the ring to … make Reigns look like the demi-god they need him to be.

Dean Ambrose v. Bray Wyatt

The final match of this run, probably something like Last Man Standing or “I Quit” match to prove who is willing to go the farthest.

Nikki Bella v. Alicia Fox

While Natalya would make more sense, having Tyson Kidd at ringside at the same time seems like it would be a clusterkerfluffle  that would take away from the

Dolph Ziggler v. Bad News Barrett

Bad News Barrett IS coming back at some point, so why not have it be in a showcase match with the

Rusev v. Ryback

This one was essentially booked on Raw, though Andy saw it coming before any of us.

John Cena v. BARAK LZNR (Brock Lesnar)

Knowing Brock is going to win makes this whole thing a lot more fun, with “How kill is he going to dead John Cena on the way there?” being the most important question.

The Royal Rumble

Roman Reigns may not know how to announce he’s going to being in the Royal Rumble, but I get the feeling he’ll know what to do when he gets there.
