This is going to midnight.

That Women's Rumble took the crowd out of Bryan/AJ so far

[Titlehungry]

Yikes... they are starting the Royal Rumble at 11pm with a 15 minute promo with Elias and Jeff Jarrett... which I think they may have just turned Elias heel for some odd reason

[ReadingPhilly]

pretty awful rumble. figured someone cool would take out r-truth, nia jax?

[Titlehungry]

So Lesnar/Rollins will be locked in as will Rousey/Becky/possibly Charlotte?

So who do Bryan and Asuka face at WM?

I think the best bet for Bryan would be a babyface Miz but there would be some work to get there... they'd have to have Shane turn heel on Miz, drop the belts and have Miz beat all odds to earn the berth at WM... I guess they could leave Charlotte out of the Rousey/Becky match and have a rematch with Asuka for the title... the better challengers are probably on Raw in Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, Ember Moon, etc...

Why they keep pushing her is beyond me.

i wonder if it's to promote the whole 'you don't need to be a toothpick to be a wwe female superstar' (then why are like 90 percent of the rest built that way?)

spot of night = shane shooting star?

the 500 spins from cesaro was kinda fun.

i thought the camera work was godawful. didn't mind the slight push of nxt/euro in the rumble but its always fun at least for a bit to have a few surprises, JJ and angle left a lil to be desired.

i, too was confused/annoyed with the elias re-heel-turn - i thought he was pretty over as a face?

nice for dolph to get some love too.

really annoyed at the aj/daniel finish - save that interference crap for the weeknight shows

They have plenty of more talented women under contract that could fit that mold and haven't injured the hottest act in the company though.

Dean Ambrose has given his notice and will be finishing up at Wrestlemania, if not before..

good

[JayBallz]

Way too many NXT ladies in the female Rumble for my tastes. Didn't count them, but seemed like at least 5. That's 1/6 of the entrants that are obviously not going to win it. Don't like it. Needed to have a couple vets in there like Victoria, Layla or Michelle McCool.

Disappointed they didn't give Abyss a go in the men's Rumble. Perfect spot for him to get a WWE appearance and it allows you to gauge fan reaction. They've had Hurricane, Boogie Man and other randoms in recent years. Why not Abyss?!

[stevelxa476]

They had a women's battle royal literally three months ago that had a number of old timers in it. It is better in the long run that the NXT girls get some name recognition with the general audience. That pop Kairi got is more important than seeing Michelle McCool trying to wrestle again.

It's odd the WWE publicly mentioned it.

watched raw on dvr last night good lord that was awful

[Titlehungry]

Hope they didn't turn Elias heel again just so Jeff Jarrett had something to do.... need babyface Kevin Owens to arrive soon... if he comes back a face, wonder what they do with Sami

[mtcal]

that elias turn made no sense. he was getting over pretty good i thought.


they sure are setting rhonda out to go out on bottom here if the rumors of her wanting to go start a family are real with putting her up against becky lynch who is super over.

After ending WM's with Roman getting booed, this year will be crazy with Becky tapping Ronda out to the Disarmer

[heyeaglefn]

I don't watch many PPVs but how often does a women's match end the show?

[stevelxa476]

It has gotten more prevalent the past 12-15 months, moreso on SDL and RAW than on PPV's. On PPV, not counting the all-women's show, it has happened 3 times since 2016.
