REIGNS CAN'T ELIMINATE LESNAR.

 

It would destroy all his momentum, I'm really hating how Reigns is overcoming anything and everything.

Reigns won't eliminate Lesnar. The Wyatt family will and that will set up Bray vs. Brock for WM!

AJ Styles is in the Rumble match :o, Rusev was predictably the #2 entrant and got eliminated very quickly :lol:

 

The bookmakers got it right by putting Triple H as the favourite to win the Royal Rumble. I guess Triple H will keep the title until Wrestlemania when Roman Reigns gets it back.

f*** sake. I wanted an upset win for Ambrose :( how frustrating. Aj Styles and Sami Zayn in the match though. Amazing *.*

 

Yay for sasha beating up Charlotte as well and the last man standing match was brilliant!

Jacqueline better enter :wub:

Quite enjoyed it this year. Some good surprises (Ambrose left til last, Strowman throwing out Kane and the Big Show) and some inevitabilities (Triple H winning, Wyatts dealing with Lesnar) done well.

 

Could have done without Jericho's long run (why not someone new?), the utterly pointless dark match that gave Swagger and Henry 45 seconds in total and the crowd wetting themselves over AJ Styles.

 

 

 

I get what you mean about Jericho but since the title was on the line and he's a veteran now I'd say there wasn't anything wrong with his lengthy stay in the match really.

Swagger and Henry's quick eliminations were a bit pointless after winning a match to qualify earlier on though. I would have had them stay in a few more minutes.

Jack Swagger was only in the match for 15 seconds :lol:

Was hoping for a couple of surprise entrants like older superstars but at the same time this Rumble showed how well today's can carry the show if given the chance.

I guess they could rely on him to be "ring-filler" - a guy who has been in there countless times before and knows how to survive. There's definitely certain roles in the Rumble, keeping it looking like a melee but in a bland way so the audience focusses on the set pieces when the come up. You always know when someone is about to go out though, as they suddenly start getting all offensive and propelling themselves off the ropes.

 

Really enjoyed the PPV! All matches were solid (bar Kalisto vs. Del Rio, which was bleh) and they all had great moments. Sasha putting herself into the Divas Championship picture like that was incredible. The pop for her was massive! We say it all the time with her but she's gonna bring in big $$$ for the company! I nearly cry everytime I rewatch that segment.

 

The last man standing match was amazing, as it was to be expected by those two. The rumble match itself was strong. I'm disappointed at the lack of legends during the match, but I'm not really too bothered. Having Owens eliminate Styles was a GENIUS move by WWE (it's a shame they've stopped with that already though and not had Owens interfere with his match on RAW) but the face off between Zayn and Owens (knowing their history together) was SPINE TINGLING. What a great moment. Looking forward to Zayn coming up to the main roster!

Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar at Fastlane where the winner will face Triple H for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. In terms of storyline it can only be Roman Reigns who wins this match, there's a chance that Bray Wyatt could interfere in this match and cost Lesnar again which would set up a Wrestlemania Wyatt vs Lesnar match.

Yeah, Reigns is the top babyface right now so it makes sense he'll win. I think Dean will start to show signs of "always the bridesmaid" during that match though. Could make it interesting when Seth Rollins comes back. Agree that Brock vs Bray is a good match for Wrestlemania and will get set up officially at Fastlane.

I fear that Brock would win Bray though and kill all the momentum built. -_-

Well, they do that all the time, but he builds back up again. That's why Bray needs to be the champion for a while!

Bret Hart has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer :(

Daniel Bryan's announced his in-ring retirement, and will elaborate on this episode of Raw tonight....

Hmm it would be nice if this was a fake retirement. Can't believe yet another wrestle has to retire. It hasn't been long since Edge retired for similar reasons :(

Triple H ‏@TripleH 25m25 minutes ago

One of my favorite @WrestleMania moments ever.

Always have been and always will be an A+. #ThankYouDanielBryan

 

f*** off.

A lot of people speculating it's "just a work". I can't see it personally, but we'll see!
