There was no reason to think Austin wouldn't win, or HHH the next year or Lesnar the year after etc up to when they did surprise everyone with Undertaker winning in 2007.
Then to got somewhat predictable again in 08, 09 and '10.
I remember watching the 01 rumble, thinking ain't no way Rock wasn't going to win
Austin had just been out for a year. I knew he'd win, those damn "he been injured a long time so he returns at the rumble and wins" storylines are usually pretty obvious.
I don't know. 2001 Royal Rumble was so star studded, it could have gone many ways
Undertaker
Kane
Rock
Austin
Big Show
Hell, I thought big show was gonna enter and win. He was out for a while too.
