Royal Rumble 2007

Batista will be the one holding the title at WrestleMania so he won't lose the title here. The real question here is how likely a count out or disqualification might be. Kennedy seems to win that way a lot against high profile opponents; however, this is a big match at a pay per view, so it's more likely it will end with a pin. Batista by Batista Bomb.

I think if Umaga was going to take the title before Mania, it would have been in their last PPV encounter. Cena retains.

As you know, the winner here gets a title shot at Mania. Of the announced participants, Randy Orton, Taker, and RVD are the only ones I see having a real shot. For whatever reason, I don't think the WWE will let the rumble determine the ECW champion's opponent for Mania, which eliminates RVD. Orton is due for a title run soon, but I can see Cena still feuding with Umaga at Mania. So unless Orton changes brands, which I doubt will happen since Raw already lost HHH, that only leaves Batista's opponent for Mania to be determined. All the wrestling news sites are saying that Taker vs Batista is "penciled in" for Mania, so right now Taker seems to be a very good bet.

There's no way Lashley switched brands to have a ridiculously short title reign. He'll easily retain.

The Hardys won their last encounter at December to Dismember. Then Jeff beat Nitro at New Year's Revolution. MNM is due to win one.
