WWE Royal Rumble 2012: Can the Show-Off Shock the World?

WWE Champion CM Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler with John Laurinitis as Special Guest Referee

Last year at Royal Rumble, Dolph Ziggler took Edge to his limit, narrowly missing out on the World Heavyweight Championship. A year later, Ziggler has grown as a heel and seemed more poised now than he was 12 months earlier. This time around, it is CM Punk's WWE Championship. Ziggler has defeated Punk on a few occasions, shocking the wrestling world in the process. As Ziggler impresses wrestling fans everywhere, the question of when CM Punk's world title reign with failed ratings will come to an end.

John Laurinitis, the RAW Interim GM, will be the special guest referee in the match. Johnny Ace has already promised to screw Punk out of his title, but a review of Laurinitis is scheduled to be done tomorrow night on RAW. If Laurinitis wants to keep his job, he may just need to call this down the middle after all.

While I love Ziggler and hope that 2012 is his year to have a world title reign longer that makes it to ten minutes, this is still Punk's title. I think Punk makes it through to WrestleMania with it, while Ziggler uses his great showing tonight to stay in the main event for the entire year.
