I say we all comment on the matches in here during the Rumble?

I say we all comment on the matches in here during the Rumble?

I'm really looking forward to it, even though really there are only 2 matches that are of note I haven't looked forward to a PPV as much as this since Wrestlemania.

You know what's pissing me off? The backlash against Reigns that seems to be happening? The only bad thing about it, is the fact that it'll be such a predictable outcome! He's very talented and I think he needs this "break" more than the likes of Ambrose. I think it'll help levitate Reigns and hopefully it'll push him harder to become a solid and consistent performer!

LMAO AT THE LATEST RUMOUR!

 

 

The Rock will be a surprise entrant and actually WIN. Meaning Brock vs. Rock at WM31

 

 

OMG. That'll be a worse scenario than REIGNS!

I don't want that to be true. I don't think that will happen anyway cause The Rock should leave it to a younger superstar. Hopefully it's just a in ring angle thing or something like Wrestlemania

I would be frustrated to work as a superstar, there are superstars who go on the road and work 5 times a week / travel different countries for tours etc that don't get to compete at Wrestlemania / get almost half the money that Lesnar does.

 

Roman Reigns needs to lose tonight, there's going to be an incredible amount on heat on him if he loses but that's understandable. I've not seen somebody as over as Bryan in my lifetime.

Randy Orton is backstage.

WHAT A f***ING MATCH!

After Brock Lesnar's victory maybe Roman Reigns is gonna win the rumble after all...... :(

 

That was a really good match though! with an exciting finish and what an insane moment that was from Seth Rollins

The divas match was terrible imo. Didn't get to see Paige get involved :(

 

Brilliant title match just now. ROLLINS shone in that match for sure.

 

Rumble time now :D

Yeah I was surprised Paige was never involved in the tag team match.

 

I'm guessing they're really going to push Paige v Nikki which would be the best possible outcome.

Daniel Bryan getting eliminated has already ruined the rumble, the crowd are silent and as predicted Roman Reigns got a massive boo.

The Rumble match itself was awful. Worst Rumble in ages for me (and NOT because of the outcome - I really don't mind Reigns winning and being in the WM main event!). Bryan was severely underused/eliminated FAR too early, Ziggler had a good minute or so, but didn't last long enough! Ambrose was on fire and saved the match from being a complete waste of time. I love the whole corporate storyline, but I HATE the whole Big Show/Kane angle of it all. They need to move away from being on WWE TV and stick to behind the scenes stuff.

 

Bray did well, but his outcome was just as predictable as Reigns winning. Rusev surprised me a little actually, he was alright for the most part and put in a decent performance. There also weren't enough bodies in the ring at the same time for me. WWE need to calm down on pushing the big guys too much! The surprises were predictable and I'm GUTTED there were no Sami/Finn/Adrian :(

 

The crowd were again, the highlight but also the worst. The treatment towards Reigns was horrendous and ruined his win (which I agreed with) for me. The Championship match was by far and away the highlight of an awfully predictable and weak show.

Hmm I quite liked the surprise entrants even if they were predictable. You could never tell if they'd actually turn out to be correct and still provided hysteria for me especially Bubba. Great to see him back in the WWE.

 

I agree that it was once again a very empty rumble. Wrestlers being shoved out too quick. I swear the time between the entries was 60 seconds. It all felt too quick for me.

 

Ziggler and Bryan deserved to be in the match much longer and Ambrose was impressive as was bray and Rusev.

 

But ultimately another average rumble but still enjoyable to a degree. No problem with Reigns winning but his push still feels too premature.

 

I guess they are leaving Bo and Orton's returns for Raw to boost ratings either that or Ortons still not a hundred per cent.

Great to see Bubba in the Rumble and for him to eliminate two guys as well was cool.

 

The Boogeyman though :lol: while it was just Bray in the ring there wasn't half some wasted entrants.

 

Was routing for Ambrose/Ziggler myself, being a die hard Kane fan I'm pleased he's got a new record after his being broken last year, I would have booed Reigns too if I'm honest just because it was TOO predictable. Ziggler coming in 30 and winning it to go on to Lesnar would have been great.

They do it every single year - the ring didn't even start to fill up until around no.20 - that's ridiculous. Much as I like Bray Wyatt, I didn't want to see him chucking person after person out after 10 seconds.

 

They've been disrespectful to their great PPV asset for too long now. It's all gimmicks and five second show-pieces for 90% of the entrants while those who habitually appear in big spots on Raw are seemingly invincible.

 

What is the point in people like Curtis Axel and Titus O'Neil being there at all?

 

Kofi only got more than a minute because he had to stick around for a stunt that was very poor.

 

They need to spend longer scripting the bulk of the match and give us something to watch. I kept getting bored waiting for the clock to come back up. Sadly, I seem to end up saying that every single year.

 

As for the winner, well, they were very unlucky that Daniel Bryan obviously returned ahead of schedule and was chucked into the Rumble on the understanding he wouldn't be there at the end. As a result, the previously popular Reigns got roundly booed.

 

Just as well the title match had great moments - although it was obvious Lesnar was playing possum and would get up and win.

 

Apart from that, the tag titles match was stupid but certainly helped get Sandow across.

I didn't bother watching the divas match.

 

But I did like the fact The Ascension put one over the Old Age Outlaws. I'm looking forward to them shaking up the tag team division, as there's very little of interest happening there right now.

2015 Royal Rumble Predictions

 

WWE Championship: John Cena will win the triple threat match then Seth Rollins will cash his Money In The Bank contract to win the title.

 

Royal Rumble Match: Daniel Bryan will eliminate Kane

Dean Ambrose will eliminate Rusev

Roman Reigns will eliminate Big Show

Damien Sandow will eliminate himself when The Miz gets eliminated

Tyson Kidd will be the first person to get eliminated

Kofi Kingston will do another crazy spot

Roman Reigns will eliminate more people than anyone else

Bray Wyatt will last at least 20 minutes and be the longest lasting or 2nd longest lasting wrestler

Dolph Ziggler, Ryback & Erick Rowan will all take part

Daniel Bryan & Roman Reigns will be the final two

Daniel Bryan will win the Royal Rumble

I was generally way of the mark with my predictions :lol:, Roman Reigns had the joint most eliminations with Bray Wyatt & Rusev but as I predicted Bray Wyatt was the longest lasting wrestler. He was the star performer in this rumble imo and when he was cutting short promos on the mic it reminded me of CM Punk in 2010.

 

Of course it was obvious Kofi Kingston was going to do another spot this year although this one wasn't as good as last year's or even the year before that (his Wrestlemania 30 one is my favourite). Daniel Bryan made pretty much no impression on the Royal Rumble which was the biggest surprise for me, he was there for just 10 minutes and eliminated only 1 person.

 

I initially thought a few months ago that Roman Reigns would win the Royal Rumble but after bringing Daniel Bryan back I changed my mind but once Brock Lesnar retained the title that's when I thought "oh maybe Roman Reigns is going to win it after all" and after Daniel Bryan got eliminated that's when the final outcome of this Royal Rumble became as certain as Batista winning it last year.

 

Pretty sure they'll be rehearsing the end of the Rumble months before so that it all goes to plan so they're not likely to change it. I think Daniel Bryan's return came almost out of the blue and he was offered a lesser spot as the fans would demand it. I was surprised he came out at no.10.

This weeks Raw & Smackdown appear to be cancelled due to the weather?
