    Actually think he'd be quite good in WWE he's got a lot of charisma would love to see him feud with Seth Rollins.

    why are WWE spoiling the surprises this RR? i imagine an official WWE Broadcaster cant be casting aspersions on other promotions (and yes, i know WWE have acknowledged others in the past, but only on special occasions for WWE alumni)

    Imagine the pop Cody would have got returning without all of the recovery promos that have been on TV recently

    and why even mention Jay White??

    …this Rumble feels a lot like 2014 to me.

    Like they decided to lock in Cody Rhodes as the winner as soon as returned to WWE - ignoring all the storylines that have been going on since.

    WWE have imo, left Sami Zayn in the Bloodline too long. They should have all turned in weeks ago - leading to him turning face and winning the Rumble. Him and KO should be just about ready to do a face version of the two man power trip.

    Have absolutely zero interest in heroic baby face mid carder Rhodes being the man to take the belts from Reigns.

    Good look into how Bray sees his past iterations. The Hawaiian shirt and the Fiend mask are retired.

    Ummmm...

    No better way for people not to be upset at Sami not winning than to not put him in the match at all.

    The San Antonio crowd was spectacular all the way through.

    Main event was fantastic. Drama after was pretty well done and a couple of twists I didn't expect, but a good way to keep this interesting. Roman has really gone a long way since he good booed out of Philly.

    Could have lived without the other singles matches.

    Both Rumbles were solid in a vacuum although ended up being fairly predictable in the end. Ripley and Gunther MVPs. Scammer Logan Paul with a great super hero spot with Ricochet the most memorable moment for me. Dominik Mysterio was pretty great too.

    Logan Paul vs. Rollins at Wrestlemania is gonna be a banger (not bros).

    Really hope Nia Jax is a one and done, but probably not. Certainly not the member of Reigns' family people wanted to see :laugh:

    Oh what a surprise they went with the returning Cody Rhodes.

    They’ll give Sami a throw away title match at Elimination Chamber where he will job to Reigns and then I guess they’ll look to go KO & Zayn Vs the Usos.

    Do we think Rhodes will go over at Mania?

    Not having Sami win the Rumble is the most WWE thing imaginable. What a complete waste of almost a year of story building.

    It feels a bit Daniel Bryan 2014

    Although I don’t think the fans have turned on it quite so bad.

    I wonder if they will shoehorn Zayn in and make on a triple thread (also so he can take the pin)

    I think Sami wins Elimination chamber and they split the titles at Mania Reigns losing both.

    Should be the other way around though. Zayn wins Rumble. Cody the Chamber.

    Maybe but you had to have the turn first and the bloodline weren't in the rumble so couldn't happen there.

    If only there was some way it was scripted so the Bloodline could be in the Rumble.

    Only watched the men's Rumble. Enjoyed it, one of the better ones I've seen. Odd booking to have your knight-in-shining-armour come out at 30, especially when the fans are all screaming for someone else to win. Not exactly good fuel for a face.

    I get they wanted to make Gunther look strong in the loss, but Cody entering at 25 still works for him being much fresher, without being handed it on a plate.
