What do the fans demand this year?

Not Roman Reigns winning, I guess...

That would be nice

I wouldn't boo if he did though, regardless of how little sense it would make.

So who will the fans be demanding victory for this year? I wasn't shit on last year.

well Bryan obviously, that's inevitable, but it will be interesting to see if they twist it, might depend on whether they actually want Lesnar to go into Mania as champ if he's going to piss off to UFC straight after.

Looking forward to this years Kofi Kingston moment.

as a typical City fan I'm waiting to see if this is the year he fucks it up.

I don't see why Bryan would win this year nor why he would be expected to win.

In fact, it would be Bootista part 2, ironically.

I think it's the opposite, as the fans felt cheated at last year's Rumble and there's a danger of someone like Reigns, who hasn't exactly been hot with his Vince promos in recent weeks, being turned on if he gets in the way of Bryan getting what the fans could see as Rumble payback.

That's not my personal view, as I'd rather Reigns not win as he's dull and I think Lesnar/Reigns would suck, but I'd be happy for a twist of some sort, and it would be nice, although it will never happen, for someone like Ziggler to win to really further the Authority/Rebels storyline, but that would only really work if Rollins walked out with the belt. Personally, I'd rather see a Shield Triple Threat match at Mania to finally have that 3 way feud, but they seem intent on denting Ambrose.

There's no need for "Rumble payback" as Bryan didn't even have to win to get in the main event at Mania and win. Not winning the rumble allowed Bryan to overcome HHH to get his shot at the title, which made more sense and exactly what Bryan fans wanted. The Rumble is irrelevant it was always going to be beating HHH.

So people want Bryan to win the Rumble as some sort of vindication for not winning it last year and subsequently getting denied a title shot at Mania even though he got a title shot and won at Wrestlemania?

Bryan's been out of the title picture for quite some time and people want him to get shot back into it and get a spot in the biggest match of the year during his first PPV back? Seems hypocritical to me but sadly seems about right.

So Reins and Bryan aren't allowed to win. Who is?

Bray?

Anybody is allowed to win, that's what people had a problem with last year.

My personal preference would simply be for someone good to win. It's for a spot at the Mania main event after all.

I want Big Daddy to win or Les Kellett

The Rock is around, uh-oh!
