Anyone looking forward to the Universal Championship match tonight?

There wasn't a Universal Title match at TLC lmao. Lesnar was never advertised for a match. I do hope Braun wins at the Royal Rumble but you know WWE loves to piss the fans off lol

 

On a related note Ambrose v Rollins was heavily criticised, very unlike them to produce a bad match, it didn't feel like a solid match though.

 

Paige removed as Smackdown GM is rather annoying as Smackdown has been the better show this year and she's been doing an exceptional job with it!

R.I.P Gene Oakland. He was before my time but I know that he was a legendary announcer and interviewer in WWE and he will surely be missed.

 

 

 

 

He was a super interviewer and announcer. I remember the Survivor Series 1990, that dancing... :lol:

 

R.I.P. Mean Gene. :(

As of right now the odds to win the women's rumble is topped off by Charlotte and Becky. I really can't see anyone else winning this match really. Have a gut feeling Charlotte will win moreso than Becky and it wouldn't surprise me if she entered at 3 and repeated what her dad did exactly. Becky doesn't necessarily need to win but of course she'd be my choice with Ember next. Ember deserves a big push this year. She's been called up to the roster having been Nxt women's champ to doing practically nothing with her :(

 

As for the men's match I'd love Drew to win as he's so much better than he was in the past and I liked the "Chosen One" times too.

Itll be Rollins though who I don't have anything against winning either and he's had one hell of a 2018!

 

I also think Miz and Shane are going to be tag champs as well.. This is WWE after all who put Braun with a 10 year old and won the titles (from the Bar at that) lol

Women Royal Rumble reveal starts at 5pm today, don’t get why they are doing this, ruins it a bit.

I would be very surprised if anyone other than Charlotte or Becky Lynch wins the Women's Royal Rumble. I think Drew McIntyre will either be the person with most eliminations or the person who lasts longest in the Men's Royal Rumble. Seth Rollins is the favourite purely because Brock Lesnar is the Universal Champion, I think Drew would have won it if Roman Reigns didn't relinquish the title.

 

 

It should be a very good weekend of WWE wrestling next week with NXT TakeOver: Phoenix taking place the night before the rumble!

These Rey Mysterio/Andrade matches are bloody brilliant. Why hasn't Rey been performing to this level in so long.. Since like 2004 :lol: Andrade is definitely bringing the quickness in Rey back and he himself is very impressive too. I wouldn't rule Andrade out doing very well in the rumble again like the last year. He's 3rd behind Drew and Seth to win as well. Not that he will ofc.

 

Drew hopefully will be close to the record of eliminations. I dunno if he'll break it but they've built him up as a machine this year that I'd be surprised if his elimination count is very low.

My Royal Rumble predictions:

 

Rusev beats Shinsuke Nakamura

 

The Miz & Shane McMahon beat The Bar

 

Ronda Rousey beats Sasha Banks

 

Asuka beats Becky Lynch

 

Daniel Bryan beats AJ Styles

 

Buddy Murphy retains the Cruiserweight Championship

 

Brock Lesnar beats Finn Balor

 

Becky Lynch wins the Women's Royal Rumble

 

Seth Rollins wins the Men's Royal Rumble

My Royal Rumble predictions:

 

Rusev beats Shinsuke Nakamura

 

The Miz & Shane McMahon beat The Bar

 

Ronda Rousey beats Sasha Banks

 

Asuka beats Becky Lynch

 

Daniel Bryan beats AJ Styles

 

Buddy Murphy retains the Cruiserweight Championship

 

Brock Lesnar beats Finn Balor

 

Becky Lynch wins the Women's Royal Rumble

 

Seth Rollins wins the Men's Royal Rumble

I only got Rusev's match wrong in my predictions. It was a very predictable PPV really apart from the odd surprise, mainly Nia Jax taking R-Truth's #30 spot in the Men's Royal Rumble and eliminating Mustafa Ali before getting RKO'd by Randy Orton and 619'd by Rey Mysterio :lol:

 

Bobby Lashley's elimination looked like a botch which was hilarious to see :lol:, I think the Women's rumble match was better than the Men's. Daniel Bryan Vs AJ Styles was not as good and fast paced as I thought it would be before tonight.

After the past week I'd say they should turn Ronda heel, there's no way they are going to cheer her against the uber popular Becky so it's only logical.. Although it does appear that WWE are still going to add Charlotte :drama: what I don't understand is why they couldn't have Charlotte have her unfinished match with Ronda at Fast Lane and then she loses and builds up a wrestlemania rematch with Asuka instead because Asuka currently has no opponent leading to Wrestlemania (or the next two ppvs for that matter). Ideally Ember would be a good match for Asuka however she's now out of action so they are going to be scrambling for legitimate contenders for the smackdown women's title!

 

Charlotte v Asuka would be acceptable for mania though as long as Charlotte loses.

That way we can have Ronda v Becky one on one just how we want it!

Undertaker is at Starrcade the same day as AEW 'Double Or Nothing' :eyes:.

 

I can honestly see AEW doing incredibly well in the ratings against WWE, their owner has more money than McMahon's and I can see a lot of big names joining AEW due to bitterness if I'm being honest. They have some huge names in Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho, Young Bucks and Kenny Omega (who turned WWE down recently for AEW). I can see Dean Ambrose joining possibly along with CM Punk and a lot of underrated WWE superstars who don't believe they're being pushed to their full potential (Uso's, Revival etc). AEW is also offering big money for superstars apparently (Randy Orton) and it seems like WWE are panicking by offering much larger paychecks which could work against them in the future.

The women's chamber easily the match of the night. Seems Carmella being eliminated first has got something to do with the Corey Graves news tho.

 

Sonya and Mandy are surely future champions imo!

4 of the best wrestlers on NXT have been called up it seems to the main roster. Ricochet, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa & Aleister Black all wrestled and won their matches on Raw last night. I don't have a good feeling about them being called up and they were giving very little build before arriving as well. Those 4 are easily the heart and soul of NXT and produce great matches on a regular basis but they could get ruined on the main roster, the crowd didn't seem to care much about them either.

 

and all 4 of them are in action this week again currently in tag matches against The Bar and Rusev/Nakamura respectively.

 

Roman returns to Raw tonight and its looking like it should be a good sign at the very least based on his trainers report.

 

TJP, Tye Dillinger and Hideo Itami also released along with Arn Anderson too.

Batista and Reigns both returning. Really happy news for Roman. I guess you could say he really is a superman!

 

Not much announced for Fastlane but Batista v Triple H is definitely happening at wrestlemania

The hype for this Wrestlemania is absolutely dreadful. I honestly think they need to cut Fastlane because all momentum right now is gone.

 

Current Wrestlemania Card:

Universal Championship Match: Brock Lesnar v Seth Rollins (WWE truly need to stop with pushing Lesnar as the World Champ, he's ruining the WWE championship and by him not being around it leaves the WWE incredibly limited and they can't push this match to it's full potential, this match is supposed to be the main event but I'm beyond uninterested in this feud. Seth needs to win but I can see Brock taking the championship to Smackdown Liv

RAW WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: Ronda Rousey © vs. Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch (I'm still interested in this mainly due to the fact that it could main event wrestlemania but I think WWE

NO HOLDS BARRED: Triple H vs. Batista (Should be a fun match but again with Batista very limited on appearances, it makes it less effective)

RETIREMENT MATCH: Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin (Could not care about)

Shane McMahon vs. The Miz (Miz deserves better)

AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton (kinda hyped for this match but feel it could be disappointing)

WWE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Buddy Murphy © vs. Tony Nese (pre-show)

WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Samoa Joe © vs. Rey Mysterio (Nope)

 

Smackdown championship match will probably see Kofi defeating Bryan which will be iconic but I can see his title reign being short. Two title matches and number one contendership for SDL womens championship with sonya v mandy v Carmella v niomi

 

hype.

like legit biased yes but the buildup for bliss v jax was better than anything this year
