Royal Rumble Prediction Poll: McCool vs. James – VOTE!

This is the second of a series of polls I’ll be running all week for the five matches at the Royal Rumble. The poll is at the bottom of this post. Two on Sunday. Three on Monday.

The three month feud between Smackdown’s Women’s Champion Michelle McCool and number one contender Mickie James comes to a head at the Royal Rumble next Sunday, January 31st. I have really liked this feud. It’s the best and most memorable women’s feud probably since Trish/Mickie, which was four years ago now. They usually don’t devote this much time or tell this much of a story involving the women. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The question is: Who’s going to win?

If Michelle wins: The feud continues likely into WrestleMania where Beth Phoenix could be inserted to make it a triple threat match, which would be the culmination of a long feud that has seen Phoenix toe the line between heel and face a few times.

If Mickie wins: The torment she’s suffered from Michelle and Layla calling her “Piggy James” has led to plenty of confrontations that have usually led to Mickie getting beat up. If she wins the belt the fans are happy that the tortured babyface has overcome the obstacles to win the Women’s title for the 5th time. Question is, would the win be better here or at WrestleMania?
