The WWE presents The Royal Rumble on January 27th 2008. This write up is dated January 18th 2008 at 11:17 EST. Now let?s get a rundown of the matches announced.

Chris Jericho v. JBL
This match is based on hatred and in my opinion is make or break for both of these competitors. The man who wins this match will definitely be in a title contention and the unlucky who losses will be downgraded to midlevel matches. I believe that WWE would like JBL to win because he never left the company and he is making his comeback as to where Jericho took a break from wrestling for himself. In my opinion, JBL is going to win this match. One way or another, JBL gets the nod in this match but this feud isn?t going to end anytime soon.
- Winner: JBL

Career Threatening Match: WWE United States Champion MVP v. Ric Flair
With the storyline being if Flair losses, he has to retire, then Flair isn?t losing this match. It will be good, hopefully, and MVP has gotten loads better. This is basically a filler match for MVP until Matt Hardy gets better to take the US title away from him. WWE has put too much stock in that feud to end it to an injury that happened at the wrong time.
- Winner: Ric Flair

World Heavyweight Championship match: Edge (c) v. Rey Mysterio
Edge is amazing. I don?t care what anyone thinks or says but Mysterio doesn?t deserve to be in main event World title matches. There is cruiserweight title which currently isn?t active for some stupid reason but why not give it to Rey. Edge is personally one of my favorite WWE wrestlers and he is going to win this match hands down. This will set up the match against Undertaker at Wrestlemania for the World Championship, in which I hope and believe Edge retains breaking Undertaker?s undefeated record.
- Winner: World Heavyweight Champion Edge

WWE Championship Match: Randy Orton (c) v. Jeff Hardy
This match would steal the show if it wasn?t for the rumble match. It has been built greatly and will be the best match (other than rumble) on the PPV. I really want to see Hardy win this but I just don?t think that will happen. Orton is one of my top three favorites in WWE (Punk, Edge, and Orton) but I really want to see Hardy win this because he deserves it. But, Triple H has a chance to get into the rumble and if he gets in, he will be the winner of the rumble unless Vince has different ideas for Triple H this year. I predict Orton wins but I want Hardy to.
- Winner: WWE Champion Randy Orton

The Royal Rumble Match
If Triple H gets into the Royal Rumble match, he will win the match. If Triple H doesn?t get into the match then Undertaker will win the match. Either way, IMO, Triple H v. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania and Undertaker v. Edge for the World Heavyweight title at Wrestlemania.
- Winner: Triple H
