As soon as Charlotte came out that rumble lost momentum lmao. Sasha was replaced last minute due to her not being able to compete. The tag match a couple of weeks ago where Dana landed on her, injured her ribs. They didn't have her wrestle on TV since and was hoping she'd be cleared in time.

 

I think she was actually gonna win and I am devastated. :cry:

Reports are saying that Sasha was supposed to have won. :cry:

I've heard multiple reports that Roman Reigns and Shayna Baszler were booked to win the rumble matches but WWE changed their minds late because a lot of bets were being put on Drew McIntyre and Charlotte due to people on the inside at WWE notifying people that they know personally about this.

 

 

I'm glad Drew won the rumble and there was some excellent story telling between him and Brock Lesnar during the match which nicely sets up a title match between them at WrestleMania. The first part of the match wasn't good though when Lesnar was eliminating literally everyone including Kofi Kingston, Keith Lee and John Morrison! Morrison's elimination in particular looked very dodgy considering he's just come back to WWE after 8 years away. It was great seeing Edge return as well during the match, I heard rumours that he was possibly going to feature but I didn't fully believe it so it was a good surprise and he still looks as good in the ring as ever.

 

 

Charlotte was the last person that I wanted to win the women's rumble so it was disappointing to see her win, Shayna would have been a much better winner than her but I guess Vince loves Charlotte too much to move her away from the main event scene at WrestleMania. I'm not excited to see her and Becky Lynch face each other for the one millionth time either if that's the direction they're going in.

 

 

I'm sure Roman Reigns will still face The Fiend at WrestleMania somehow, probably by winning the elimination chamber to become #1 contender. The strap match between The Fiend and Daniel Bryan was enjoyable and it was good to have a match without the red lighting for once.

Gutted plans for Victoria & Lita were apparently cancelled when their titantrons were leaked from an outside source.

Found a lot of the matches outside the rumble a bit mediocre. Bryan v wyatt and Asuka v Becky were decent though.

 

The women's match started off so well until Charlotte entered practically. I hate how boring and predictable WWE are to keep shoving her down our throats, sure she's talented but it so obvious they just want her to quickly beat her fathers record of title reigns..

 

Gutted Sasha, Victoria and Lita weren't in it as well as Io Shirai as some of them weren't that exciting and Santina ugh. It was fine with the women's battle Royal at wm 25 but didn't need to come back even in this.

 

Lesnar dominating the match was silly and boring too.. OK he's entered #1 to show how dominant he is but WHY did he chuck that many out. 5 or 7 would have been fine. Sad the likes of John Morrison who just returned, Kingston, Shinsuke and Cesaro got chucked out quickly. All deserved a bit more time.

 

Glad who I wanted in Drew won.. So pleased he was booked so well in this and hopefully should become the first British WWE champ!

 

Edge returning of course was Incred too.

I doubt that is true cause MVP's was supposedly leaked before and he was still in the Men's

 

I was so disappointed Charlotte won the Rumble she really didn't need to win at all she's won and has accomplished so much already. I would have rather Shayna won tbh at least it would have made sense and it would have given her momentum going to the Main Roster (I'm hearing rumours she's facing Becky at Wrestlemania). I'm SO GLAD Drew won the Men's Rumble though.

To keep you WWE fans updated:

 

John Cena is confirmed to be appearing on the Feb 28th Smackdown from Boston.

Huge news has just come in, The British Bulldog is officially entering the 2020 Hall of Fame!

 

Surprised it took them this long!

Predictions for tonight.

 

Winners... Daniel Bryan, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles, Andrade, Street Profits, Shayna and Miz and John Morrison!

Wrestlemania 36 has been moved from Tampa bay to the performance centre due to Coronavirus. Vince couldn't just rearrange it for later in the year. It's going to be the first Wrestlemania without fans in history!

Yeh but we don’t know how long it’s going to take

I love that they're providing some sort of entertainment for the fans. They could have just scrapped it altogether, but they want a form of escapism for people to forget the real world for a while and just entertain us.

 

That said..

 

Becky vs Shayna is gonna be so awful. Lmao. Becky's matches rely a lot on the crowd interaction and Shayna is as dull as dishwater.

Im glad that WWE haven't cancelled their shows as well, it's just surprising that a show of Wrestlemania's status is going to be done without fans in attendance. I feel sorry for Drew McIntyre and Rhea Ripley who won't get to have their big Wrestlemania moment in front of fans.

 

I watched Raw last night and even though most of it was a rerun of the men's royal rumble from this year it still felt good to have some sports on.

Yeah it's going to feel weird especially for anyone who will win a title on the day like Mcintyre (unless they swerve and have Lesnar retain)

 

Edges first match back too but I think his match with Orton will be fine without the fans tbh.

Byron getting embarrassed was good last night

Nxt Takeover and Hall of Fame aren't going ahead atm.. Will probably be in the PC as well as backup.

Edited March 17, 20205 yr by Rob S

apologies for the triple posts, Hall of Fame is rumoured to be delayed till Summerslam which in a way wouldn't be a bad thing what with British Bulldog inducted and the whole famous Bret Hart match in England at Summerslam 92!

Wrestlemania taking place in the wwe development centre, that should be interesting

Sasha's new theme is FINALLY going to be available tomorrow!

 

I don't know why it took them so long, but yas!

Day 1 & Day 2 of Wrestlemania being taped Wednesday.
