Go ahead and post your comments for how Royal Rumble is going to go down...because here's mine.
Royal Rumble
Before I say anything, here's what we know.
Dolph Ziggler is forced to pick between entry numbers #1 and #2. Despite the fact that this will be a long, hard road for him, it's not going to be impossible - four people have won after going first and lasting the full hour and change. If he doesn't, well...he's still got the Money In The Bank briefcase which is good until July.

Sheamus won it last year, but that doesn't mean he'll win it this year. Either way, people still want to see him with the World title, so I pick him as one of the people to possibly win it.
Ryback has been screwed out of the WWE Championship by The Shield three times, and people want to see him win it, too. So do I.
If Antonio Cesaro, Wade Barrett or The Miz win the event, they'd be able to benefit from winning a major title. We all know Wade Barrett was in the running for the World title the same time last year before he was taken out by injury. Still, he has a lot riding on the recent progress of the Barrett Barrage. Cesaro gets better and better every week as he becomes seemingly indestructible. As for The Miz...he's already well decorated, but another major title reign wouldn't hurt, especially since he's turned face a couple months ago after spending his short, six-year-plus career as a heel.
You could make a case for Kane or Daniel Bryan...but WWE's probably gonna be too busy pushing them as Team Hell No as they just keep getting more hilarious with the passage of time. We'll see.
As for John Cena...never say never. He's won it before, but he's also won a lot of matches throughout his career, but so has Sheamus and Randy Orton.
With that being said:
Probably: John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Antonio Cesaro, The Miz, Ryback
Maybe: Kane, Daniel Bryan
Forget it: Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Titus O'Neil, Darren Young
Personal Pick: Ryback. As much as I can picture John Cena winning this and chalking up another major victory for the Cenation, this could very well be Ryback's year. All he needs to do is have a clear shot at Punk or whomever is WWE Champion at the time, and 2013 is all his.

CM Punk vs. The Rock for the WWE Championship
CM Punk is probably going to retain again...somehow. He'll most likely do it clean too or with enough cunning to keep the referee from noticing anything funny is going on. The Rock is still busy shooting movies and he's got another one in the can for 2014 (that Hercules movie), so we all know who's going to win here.
Alberto Del Rio vs. The Big Show for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Last Man Standing Match
This one's a bit of a brainteaser here. I think it'll ultimately end up back in Del Rio's arms here, since the World Heavyweight Champion finally helped Del Rio get over as a face. No use trying to undo all that.
Team Hell No vs. Team Rhodes Scholars for the WWE Tag Team Championships
I like both teams. I really, really do. But I think Team Hell No will be able to keep the tag titles a while longer here.
Antonio Cesaro vs. The Miz for the WWE United States Championship (pre-show)
Here's what we know: this is probably going to be the best pre-show since SummerSlam. What we don't know is who's going to win.
As much as I'd like to see Antonio Cesaro win, seeing The Miz win it would be even better. Winning this title is, to me, the only thing that would really complete his face turn.
