Antonio Cesaro defends his United States Championship against The Miz in the Royal Rumble Pre-ShowThe rivalry between The Miz and Antonio Cesaro has quickly escalated. From trash talking, to conflict in the ring on Miz TV, these two superstars have been at each others throats for weeks. Just half an hour before the Royal Rumble PPV, The Miz will have an opportunity to capture the United States Championship for the third time, as he challenges Antonio Cesaro, of who has held the belt since SummerSlam. It's been Cesaro's constant bashing of American people that has got The Miz wound up, and even got Antonio Cesaro on the receiving end of a Figure-Four Leglock, but will Cesaro gain the bragging rights when this match is said and done? Or will The Miz capture the title for the third time and shut up Cesaro? Find out in the Royal Rumble pre-show!

WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No defend their titles against long-time-rivals Team Rhodes ScholarsTeam Hell No and Rhodes Scholars' intense rivalry goes through the Royal Rumble this Sunday, when the Tag Team titles are on the line. Rhodes Scholars have been constantly contending for the titles, defeating numerous competition to get their shots. Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes seem to think that their intellect is enough to outwit Team Hell No, who have been struggling to coexist. However, Team Hell No graduated from Anger Management this week, and despite some arguments, they look to be functioning well, so not a good sign for Rhodes Scholars. Will Rhodes Scolars finally capture the tag titles? Or will Team Hell No's reign continue? Find out this Sunday at the Royal Rumble!

The incredible unpredictability of the Rumble match makes it all the more exciting, as we wonder, who will make it to WrestleMania?

They have the experience, as they have all won Rumble matches in previous occasions. But could we see a different winner? Maybe Ryback, a man who has sent wreckage through the locker room, and definitely poses a threat. After all, there are 30 men in that ring capable of winning, and the only way to find out is to watch what will be an incredible Rumble match this Sunday. This Monday on Raw, we saw a preview of things to come, as the ring flooded with superstars looking to contend in the Rumble.

Predicting a winner for the Rumble is always difficult, so I will predict for two winners, either John Cena or Ryback. Who do you think you will win? Contact me on Twitter, and voice your opinion! I truly cannot wait for the match, as we count down the seconds till each superstar enters, expect the unexpected, everyone.


Alberto Del Rio makes his first title defence, as he defends his World Heavyweight Championship against The Big Show in a Last Man Standing MatchAlberto Del Rio captured the World Heavyweight Championship a few weeks ago on SmackDown when he defeated The Big Show in a Last Man Standing match in Miami. Alberto Del Rio managed to get The Big Show down and out for 10 seconds that time, but this Sunday, he will have to do it all again as he defends his new title against The Big Show in the same stipulation. The rivalry between Big Show and Del Rio all began at the expense of Ricardo Rodriguez in late December, and ever since then, Del Rio and The Big Show have went at each other from the outset. Del Rio has got the World's Largest Athlete frustrated many a time, and also embarrassed him in his Fiesta. Big Show wants some deep revenge come the Royal Rumble, and Del Rio's provocative actions may have him on the receiving end of a gruelling WMD Knockout at the Royal Rumble. Big Show made a huge statement on SmackDown just two days before the Rumble, with an attack to Del Rio along with throwing the announce table on Del Rio, just like how Del Rio defeated The Big Show. This is set to be yet another entertaining match, as each superstar may utilize any weapons to put their opponent down and out for 10 seconds. Will Del Rio be successful in his first title defense? Or will The Big Show get revenge and recapture the title? Find out at the Royal Rumble LIVE from Phoenix, Arizona!


The Best in the World vs. The Great One, CM Punk has held the WWE Championship for 434 days and will defend it against The Rock at the Royal RumbleFor 434 days, CM Punk has been WWE Champion proving that he is the Best in the World, and this Sunday at the Rumble, The Rock stands in his way from extending that reign. CM Punk is the longest reigning WWE Champion of the past 25 years, and that is an incredible accolade. The Rock has returned, and he has a dream to recapture the title for one more time. This truly will be a match for the ages, two amazing wrestlers, two influential superstars, all the elements to make a classic. This is the very best way to begin The Road to WrestleMania, with an epic match for the Championship. It all began on the monumental 1000th Episode of Monday Night Raw, when The Rock returned to announce that he will challenge the WWE Champion at the Royal Rumble. Later that night, CM Punk was to attack The Rock and deliver an ice-cold GTS, that stunned the WWE Universe, and put The Rock to sleep. On the January 7, 2013 edition of Monday Night Raw, The Rock returned, sending a bold statement to CM Punk, before delivering an emphatic Rockbottom. The war of words was to continue on SmackDown, with The Rock making his first appearance on the blue brand in 10 years, CM Punk also mocked The Rock from the SunLife Stadium, which was also home to WrestleMania 28. Then it was the next, week on the 20th Anniversary of Raw, where after a hilarious Rock Concert, The Rock called out CM Punk, and a huge brawl ensued. Things intensified further, and even more when The Shield was attacked by The Rock on Raw, further raising suspicions of CM Punk's partnership with The Shield. Mr McMahon made a huge stipulation to the Rumble match, and that is if the Shield interfere, CM Punk will be stripped of the title. It looks like we are going to see a one-on-one war with these two, it should be a classic. Before one last final confronation on SmackDown, The Rock once again sent a statement to CM Punk, before leaving the ring and perfectly setting the stage for the Rumble. This is one of the best feuds in a very long time, and the match will deliver, rest assured. Excitement is sky high for this match, and I truly can't wait for it to happen. The Rock could become WWE Champion, which will be great to see. CM Punk though could further state what a superstar he is. Will The Rock finally capture the WWE Championship? Or will CM Punk's reign surpass 434 days? Find out at the Royal Rumble, and WWE Universe, do not miss this, it is going to be absolutely epic!

Royal Rumble comes LIVE from the US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday January 27 on PPV at 8pm E.T. (1am GMT)! The Road to WrestleMania is just mere moments upon us, and what a way it will be kicked off with, with an epic night.
