Natalya number 30 for women

Ok now this is interesting!
Randy Orton number 1
Edge number 2


Number 30 for Women and #1&2 for Men announced. Put the spoilers on it in case you don't want to see.

I actually renewed my subscription for the month just to watch the rumble. Namely because I'm curious what they do. Doesn't seem to be neither a red hot face to feed to Roman or a top heel to challenge McIntyre.

I also wanna see if they pull any surprises in the women's rumble.

I have no real obvious picks for either. Maybe they will let Charlotte win again so she can be the first 2 time women's winner :rofl:

Men, no real clue at all. If they want to create a big moment it would need to be a surprise entrant. Like you said, nobody feels ready for Roman as a face or Drew as a heel.

Suppose if they were gonna do an early reveal, Orton vs Edge is a good place to start. I could see them taking turns clearing out entrants so they can keep going at it, Orton eventually takes out Edge only for the Fiend to be the next entrant.

Natalya probably gonna get ambushed by the real #30

I feel like Bianca Belair, Edge and DBry are all so obvious WWE will swerve it for both rumbles...wouldn't shock me to see Rhea win the women's rumble and Charlotte to end up RAW women's champ before WM...Alexa winning wouldn't shock me either...LARS returned to Instagram today, I don't expect him to win but it wouldn't surprise me if he returned at the Rumble...same for Seth Rollins...but I feel like Goldberg is gonna win the Rumble for some reason, IDK why.

This year is the least hype I can recall for a Rumble ever...I am sure KO/Roman will be good but we've seen that match before (even at the Rumble before, with Jericho in a shark cage above the ring).

It's sort of a Ho-Hum year for hype.

Rhea should win the women's Rumble honestly. It seemed that dumb loss Charlotte at Mania last yr didn't elevate or make anyone and derailed Rhea. Let her win, get the belt back on Charlotte and give Rhea the title at mania.

I'm not interested one bit in Goldberg v Reigns. Bryan v Reigns would be good. So I'm all for Bryan winning the rumble if they can't pull a bigger star for Roman, like Cena or Brock. I'd REALLY love a Cena v Reigns Mania match but I know it's unlikely. Brock and Roman would also be good, imo.

01-31-2021, 02:33 PM
My guess is Daniel Bryan will win and go on to face Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. It's an interesting Rumble in the way that there's a lot of people who look like they could potentially win it, but ultimately it's happening in 2021 with shitty booking and no crowd, so I'm still not overly excited.

Evil Vito
01-31-2021, 02:45 PM

No. WWE has openly mentioned it on social media, marketed it on their website, and will definitely be mentioning it on the pre-show and the broadcast itself before the Rumble even happens.

Can't complain about spoilers when the company wants you to know about it.

“Well ladies and gentlemen entering at number 23 is the Boogeyman. This is his second Rumble appearance. He previously lasted 16 minutes back in 2007. And Corey, he’s got an affinity for worms.”

RP
01-31-2021, 03:31 PM
WWE revealing anything about the Rumble match just further makes me not trust that they can do anything creative with these Rumble matches. Why you reveal the #30 for the women or the 1 and 2 for men is just inexplicable. They're not going up against the Super Bowl tonight. There is no need for any reveals.

So that said, because I think WWE simply has 0 creativity left in there product, I have to go with the obvious choices. I'm pretty sure Daniel Bryan and Charlotte Flair win the Rumbles.

RP
01-31-2021, 03:34 PM
It would make a lot of sense to have The Rock come back for one last run and and win the Rumble. Great promotion for his new show. The Samoan relationship between him and Roman Reigns would make total sense for a match. Maybe Rock comes back and " challenges the throne " so to speak.

The story is all there. So i guess The Rock would be my 2nd pick to win the Rumble.

RP
01-31-2021, 03:35 PM
If WWE has any creativity left in the tank, The Rock wins the Rumble. If not, Daniel Bryan wins the Rumble.

Revealing entrance positions makes me think they have to have something surprising planned. You can’t remove some of the surprise elements without replacing them with other surprises. And thus I’m fully expecting to be disappointed by the end of the show.

There's no way the Rock is coming back right now. You don't waste that bullet on a run of shows where you'll have zero to limited crowds. That's a waste of prob your last remaining great draw and fresh dream match.

I think next year is the year you run a Rock v Roman feud. It doesn't need the belt, but fuck it. As long as it happens.

Brock or Cena should be fed to Roman this yr. And if they can't be, Daniel Bryan is the next next option. Especially if it's going to be his last true main event run.

I'm still praying to see Becky and Ronda come back in the rumble, eliminate each other, and run a program to have a grudge match at Mania.

Not sure what's worse, Charlotte's moonsaults that rarely connect or this Charlotte/Ric/Lacey storyline.

Women's Tag title match was meh.

So how many throw-away title reigns does that give Charlotte now in WWE? Feels like she's had maybe just 1 title reign that wasn't a bust or meaningless on the main roster.

There's no way the Rock is coming back right now. You don't waste that bullet on a run of shows where you'll have zero to limited crowds. That's a waste of prob your last remaining great draw and fresh dream match.

I think next year is the year you run a Rock v Roman feud. It doesn't need the belt, but fuck it. As long as it happens.

Brock or Cena should be fed to Roman this yr. And if they can't be, Daniel Bryan is the next next option. Especially if it's going to be his last true main event run.

I'm still praying to see Becky and Ronda come back in the rumble, eliminate each other, and run a program to have a grudge match at Mania.


I 100% agree about the live crowd issue. But if you add everything else up...

WWE just signed a major deal with NBC/ Peacock

The Rock has 2 NBC shows name. One debuting very soon that could be a hit

The Rock dont have to wrestle hardly at all for 6 months. The blueprint was shown with Brock Lesnar.

Rock can come in as the face of the match and so it wouldnt hurt his sitcom Young Rock

And you already have the ready made King of the table/ seat at the table Samoan family story line with the #1 heel and biggest star of the company.

WWE would be either crazy or just simply not giving a shit about the product, if they did not pick up the phone and ask if he was interested in running with this idea. Or maybe they are just so fucking terrible at this point that they were incapable of coming up with this idea. But the way i see it, they picked up the phone and asked and if Rock dont show up tonight and win the Rumble, then that means Rock declined.

It makes so much sense.
