IMO it's either Bryan Reigns or Wyatt or even Sting. I'm at work now I will discuss that theory later
If it's anybody but Bryan, the crowd will destroy the winner. It's in Philadelphia, they have the RR 2014 crowd to live up to, and it's Bryan's redemption Rumble.
My prediction? Bryan is eliminated before the final four by some sort of outside Authority interference and Reigns wins.
While it's entirely possible Reigns wins, I think the fact that he's been seeing reduced TV roles in recent weeks, is a strong indication that his mega-push has slowed. My prediction is that Bryan wins -- possibly after being the first entrant -- and Rollins wins by way of pinfall over Cena. That sets up Rollins vs. Bryan for the belt at Wrestlemania and still leaves the door open for Reigns vs. Lesner at the same event.
While it will never happen, I'd also love to see Cena come out Monday and step away from the heavyweight title scene to focus on the IC belt, which he's never won. A fan over at Cageside Seats put together a nice piece on how this would work, and it makes a lot of sense. Cena leaves the title scene, creating room for someone else to step in. Meanwhile, Cena is forced to fight his way to the IC Title #1 contender spot because the Authority says his history doesn't give him the right to pass over the pecking order. After a few weeks, he's confronted by the last roadblock: Ziggler. Ziggler proceeds to let it all out how Cena has screwed him over time and again and Cena won't get through him. The idea leads to Cena beating Ziggler, then subsequently beating Barrett at WM, giving a huge rub to the belt. While I hate Cena, the idea of having a strong second title is valid, and he's a guy who could make it happen. That said, it won't happen. No way Cena leaves the main event scene.
