The Rumored WWE Royal Rumble Winner Is?

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

While plans can always and likely will change, at last word Triple H was considered the favorite to win the Royal Rumble and receive a title match against Sheamus at WrestleMania. As a result, Sheamus is highly expected to retain his title against Randy Orton tonight, leaving Orton to move on to his expected feud with Ted DiBiase.

Shawn Michaels is expected to face Batista at No Way Out to determine who will battle the Undertaker at WrestleMania. It’s pretty much a lock that HBK will overcome “The Animal” to setup the obvious, which would leave big interbrand match at WrestleMania as John Cena versus Batista.

More soon but as I noted earlier plans will likely change.

The WrestleMania 26 card is currently rumored to look like this:

— The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels
— Triple H vs. Sheamus – WWE Title
— John Cena vs. Batista
— The Money In The Bank Ladder Match

Other rumored matches include:

— Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart – Streetfight?
— Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase
— WWE Divas Battle Royal
