-- 12/24 Question of the Day Reax: Who is your way too early prediction to win the 2012 Royal Rumble?

Jason, PWTorch reader: I have a few choices - Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes. Seniority choices would be Big Show, Kane, or Mark Henry. These three Superstars have been around since the late '90s and never won the Rumble. Shocker choice would be Kharma as the first female to win the Rumble and give her a run to become the first female to win a World Title. Underdog choice would be Santino Marella. Repeat winner would be Randy Orton.

Chris, PWTorch reader: Dolph Ziggler. WWE gave the U.S. Title to Ryder so he can move on. He's been putting on great matches with top level talent and is good on the mic. He's ready for the next step.

Grier, PWTorch reader: I don't know if he's going to win, but I would like to see Dolph Ziggler. He has the skills, the look, and the heat to be a top heel main-eventer. He has improved his game, continues to impress, and he's known to put on great matches with some of the best. It's time to push him to the top now that he doesn't have to worry about the U.S. Title anymore.

Funky Sam Medina of San Jose, Calif., standup comic: I hope it is The Miz. That way, it will be Jericho vs. Punk and Daniel Bryan vs. Miz at WM28.

Adam, PWTorch reader: I see the likes of The Miz or Wade Barrett taking the Rumble. Sheamus is also a strong potential winner, but, personally, I want Santino to take it. Highly unlikely but...why not have a comedy champion?

Jerry, PWTorch reader: Randy Orton. The Rumble takes place in his hometown of St. Louis and we all know he will be fighting for the title come WM28. So, it will be Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton for the World Title at WM28.

Bill, PWTorch reader: Kane. He is on a path of destruction to WrestleMania.

Joe Tippett of Lockport, Ill.: Chris Jericho for the win. He is the only person that makes sense to face Punk. And, he will be the returning Superstar from the 1-2-12 videos.

Mr. Don, PWTorch reader: My pick is Chris Jericho. I feel that he will be returning on 1.2.12, and setting up a feud with C.M. Punk that will lead to a match at WrestleMania. This, I know, is probably the popular "too early" pick at this point, but it will still be special. The thought of the mic work and in-ring abilities of these two could be the best storyline in WWE heading into the show of shows. The major letdown to this scenario is that Rock vs. Cena and Triple H vs. Undertaker (if it happens) will be pushed as the biggest matches on the card.

Dan W., PWTorch reader: Easily one of my heroes, Kofi Kingston. He deserves to be World champion and to do that, he will win the Royal Rumble, then win the WWE Title at WM28.
