Who was supposed to win????

Hi there everyone,
Some interesting, but very surprising news coming out of this morning is that there were a few superstars pencilled in to win before Sheamus.
Chris Jericho was one and a very obvious one at that. Many people around the blogosphere, that I had read, had said that Chris Jericho would win the Royal Rumble.
Triple H, who has more backstage influence these days, put forward that Sheamus should be the winner of the Royal Rumble.

“The closest to me is probably Sheamus, because we always train together on the road. But I try to watch all the young guys' matches and give them advice, if they want to hear it. If they take advice to heart and really want to improve, then I'm wanting to help. As for seeing some of myself in someone? That's tough. Sheamus just the other day showed up at a show he didn't have to be at. He does whatever he's asked to do without complaining, he goes to every show and is always wanting to work: he does it all, goes above and beyond. That's what I was like.”

A couple of other names had also been put forward as potential Rumble winners. John Cena was one of them and then the storyline, given the fact that he already has a match at Wrestlemania, would be that of give up facing the Rock or give up the championship opportunity. Either way it would’ve been a lose/lose situation for Cena.
And the final name mentioned was Randy Orton. Orton was named because of the way that he put Mark Henry over when he became World Champion and also because the Royal Rumble was in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
Honestly, I am glad that neither Cena or Orton won. I am sick to death of Cena atm and would like to see a fresh face with the championship (which is it atm) and Orton I don’t think had enough build up for the Rumble and plus he was also taken out with injury like a month or two ago. I am super glad that Sheamus won and I think that he is one of the young ones to watch because he has that work ethic that will see him pushed. He reminds me alot of Cena outside the ring, from what I have read anyway. Maybe some of the others could learn from this and do some stuff to get themselves more noticed. Would be nice to see some more younger ones in the main events
Anyway, that is all for now.
Have fun and take care.
