Women's Battle Royal/Rumbles are always awful

I couldn't tell you which years, but there were definitely a couple years where the women's one was better.

Incorrect.

Women's gait.

And always worried about powdering their nose

Still waiting on a Titty Honking Rumble

If they wanted to go with Punk/Rollins for the belt, they should have just had Punk win the Rumble and Seth go after the belt because he’s Punk-drunk.

The Roman inclusion is more interesting than Punk/Seth on its own, but it could just be to set up Elimination Chamber.

Seth doesn’t feel like he’s on the level of your tippy-top stars.

I think this was his year. Last year would have been too early and next year could be too late.

I hate how they have to jump/spring into their own eliminations. I thought the Rumble would have been fine using the fact that men are tied up in the Rumble to deliver major women’s programs this time of year.

Culminating a Queen of the Ring tournament makes sense. Give them a WrestleMania title shot. You’ve then got your 18 other women’s titles.

I get Jey and Gunther have “unfinished business,” but I can see Jey going after Cody at Mania. They can tie a lot into that (the Sami stuff, Roman/Punk/Seth, Drew/Priest, even Cena and whatever Logan Paul is doing).

Gunther faces the winner of the Elimination Chamber, which I’m not so certain is going to be Cena. Or it could be him and Paul in a three-way. But I’m thinking they could strap the rocket onto Bron Breakker and do World Champion vs. IC Champion with everyone else tied up on purpose.

Watch Roman Deebo Jey out of his title shot.

Rumble was kinda disappointing, but excited about Jey Uso winning. Totally didn't see it coming, so it was quite refreshing.

Sadly, all this talk about "the main event of Wrestlemania" etc. is total bollocks. No way in hell Jey Uso will be THE main event. Probably world title match, opening match of night two, or something.

Still, good for him.

The rest of the match was pretty generic and same as every year. Can't really think of anything in particular I liked, except Sheamus clapping along to Joe Hendry and then "what are you doing?! I was enjoying that!" :lol:

A lot of people seem to be predicting Jey either loses his title shot or does the show opening title match. I get where people are coming from, but I don’t think they do that. I don’t really see the point in giving it to Jey if they’re not going to go full hog with it. Vince would have done that, but he’s gone.

I liked the moment where a lot of big stars were in the Rumble at the end. Logan Paul was ace. That scumbag always is. Jacob Fatu stood out. I thought the whole thing was “clever” in terms of who it put emphasis on. Bron Breakker and Penta came out looking good. Can’t really think of anyone who looked bad — except Kaiser, which was on purpose.

Yeah, I can get a kick out of entrances, spots etc but when it comes to the basic function of a Rumble most of the eliminations in the women's ones just look bad.

I don't know how tall the top rope actually is in WWE but seeing Iyo, Roxanne, and Alexa are the shortest on the roster and the ropes seem to barely graze the top of their shoulders, figure the ropes are around 4 and a half feet tall. Most of the women are 5 and a half feet or shorter.

There's just no structural way for them to get over the top rope without doing most of the work themselves with jumping out. Only someone who is exceptionally tall for a woman like Charlotte could take a standard clothesline over the top without it looking like shit.

Lol everyone comes around.
