Why Was Chavo In The Royal Rumble ?

Now last I checked , 30 Men enter the Royal Rumble and compete for a Heavyweight Title Match at Wrestlemania. Now correct me if im wrong but doesnt that meen that the Three Heavyweight Champions of Raw , Smackdown & ECW arnt allowed to compete in the Rumble.

Last Night Chavo Guerrero , The ECW World Heavyweight Champion , was in the Rumble. I actually didnt notice at first until Joey Stylez said that he was the recently crowned Champion.

Now I think i no why he was in the Rumble , WWE Champion Randy Orton & World Heavyweight Champion Edge were both in matches defending their titles. But Chavo wasnt. This could possibly be why they used him.

I think it was a waste of time to put Chavo in the Rumble. He was already champion, so you knew he wasn't going to win. His spot should have gone to someone else.

Think he had already qualified before he won the belt...In that case they could have given that spot to someone else he was taking up space . Unless he thought he was going to try and be the next RVD to show up with two belts...

Sorry I don't believe Chavo should have ever gotten the ECW title....He wouldn't have without Edge help...He just isn't Championship material

His title run is a joke anyways and WWE probably realizes it and don't even look to him as a real champion. Won't matter, either he gets tossed over or some other jobber gets tossed over.

Chavo was in the Royal Rumble as filler. He's a decent wrestler which could provide some nice spots. He wasn't going to win and everyone knew that. He wasn't in another match that night so I see no problem with him competing.

Oh, I just remembered that. Well I guess history has been made that a champion competed in the Rumble. Since the older days, unless this was the first. Wasn't there a Rumble for the WWE championship at one time? Well perhaps Chavo was already qualified and he won the titled on the Road to the Royal Rumble.

Ric Flair won the WWF Championship in 1992 by winning the Rumble.

There seemed to have been a lot of weird things about the Rumble this year with Hornswoggle leaving with Finlay without being eliminated, Chavo being in the Rumble match, and Cena's surprise return.

he is was in the rumble due to mark henrys absense to perform well but they should of used murdoch or something

That is correct, he was qualified for the rumble before he won the title, personally I would of rather seen Kevin Thorn and Kofi Kingston in it.

Mark Henry was in the Rumble ???

There were alot of other guys they could have used.....Trevor Murdoch.....DH Smith....

Matt Hardy was even backstage to fill in a spot if needed.

Is Thorn still being repackaged? I hope they just settle on something decent and let him go at it.

Yeah I still hear that he is being repackaged as a babyface.

Thorn would've owned in a faction with Edge and Gangrel.

Gangrel = past
Edge = present
Thorn = future

If Chavo had won it what was to stop him going for the WWE championship or World Heavywieght championship. Title holders can enter the rumble and in my opinion should. It would have been a good storyline for a champions of Champions 1-on-1 match again. ANyways, Chavo's reign IS a joke! No question about that.

Why does it really matter, what done is done and we all know it is going to be Chavo Guerrero vs CM Punk for the ECW championship at WrestleMania XXIV.
