Last year I missed almost all of the buildup for the Rumble being in a coma/ICU/hospital for first 3 weeks of January but I was more excited last year for the RR than I am this year.

Lol

ALways love the rumble, probably my favourite show of the year. Going to a buddy's place and we do a Royal Rumble Lottery. $50 (25 for each rumble) and if the wrestler that enters at the number you drew, you win the money. Usually a decent amount of cash if you win. I won the men's in 2018 and got around $400

Worlds Collide starting off with Finn!

Crazy there's a takeover-esque show and no thread.

The Russian guy sucks

I'm sorta surprised Garza lost the cruiserweight title, seemed like it might have been a screwup though

Damn....Rumble not sold out

Changing Qty back and forth from 2 to 1, lots of seats

https://mpv.tickets.com/?agency=MLBT...yVoucher=false

This'll probably be the last stadium rumble

The downside of a semi-glass roof stadium being directly across from a hotel many fans are staying at...

SPOILER: show

Welp, I regret clicking that

is it true that 26 of the 30 rumble participants have been named?

Cause that kinda sucks. Surprises make the rumble for me. I guess 4 would be okay though

It's definitely not the most exciting 'surprise entrant' imo

Dark Grey areas all the places you can still find seats.

I barely count Cain Velasquez as a surprise entrant assuming he’s in so aside from the one spoiler I clicked I’m in the dark. Will try to keep it that way before tomorrow.

I predict DBry beats the Fiend

Also predict either Drew McIntyre, Cain Velasquez or Ricochet eliminates Brock and that Brock gets eliminated pretty early in the Rumble.

I think either Shayna or Ronda (or both) will show up as well...

I predict one of the following wins the Women's RR match:

Ronda Rousey
Shayna Baszler
Nia Jax

I think Brock is going to be eliminated by some sort of team effort, capped off by Cain Velasquez.

I'm hoping for a Brock/Joe/WALTER/Keith Lee clash at some point. It's the hope that kills ya.

Might actually watch this even though my care factor is zero. Chad Gable is awesome. And I want to see if Bryan wins the belt, because Bryan still has a spot in my heart.

I wonder if the spoiler from earlier was just production 'messing around'

I have heard they play random videos during setup for events before.

I am going to watch the Royal Rumble with my man owenbrown tomorrow. We have gotten back together and have been sexting non-stop.

If Roman Reigns wins owen has to go down on me!!!!!!

:love::kiss::heart::heart::love::kiss:

My husband, the big dog, will be winning so owenbrown will get to eat your pussy out!!!

How spoiled we have become.

I remember back in the day when they would announce five entrants per week, so that you knew everyone in the rumble and there were no surprise entrants.

Hmmmmmmmm

Strongly disagree. The Fiend is literally the best thing WWE have going at this point in time. I'd be much more interested in him retaining in some underhanded way to build a Universal Championship chase to WrestleMania XXXVI.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider with a huge spoiler out there

SPOILER: show

Aside from the first one I clicked last night I've stayed away from the rest and will not be clicking any spoiler links until the show is over.

It's fun to go back to the first page after the show though to see how many were right.

Damnit really wish i wouldnt have clicked that last one :'(

Entrant #4 will win or be ejected immediately.

I'm imagining a huge ejector on the ramp randomly throwing wrestlers into the crowd as they run to the ring

I predict Drew or Roman for the men

I predict Ronda or Shayna or Nia appear and win for the womens

CHRISTIAN

CHRISTIAN

AT LAST

YOU'RE ON A PRESHOWWWWWWWWW

Same setup as last year, I figured it would be.

It looks good!

I also predict Brock gets eliminated very early

I really hope someone pulls out a trashcan with a Houston Astros logo on it.... Seems like it would be great for Corbin to do....

What happened to Chad Gable's ear

Whoa! Tom Philips :eek:

Is that Wadding in the background? Looking sharp @Slik.

Real nice sideboob camera angle on Zelina

Is it just me or does the barricade look a lot closer to the ring than normal?

Dangerous Dave "Walter" Wadding indeed

Tom Phillips is far too good to be stuck doing just NXT UK and preshow matches with the King.

Could not agree more.

I am a bit useless but are there any streams? Really do not want to re sub to WWE network just for the 1 PPV

try watchwrestling.in

I hate that the Greatest Royal Rumble is considered canon for these All About the Numbers vid...most eliminations and longest time in the ring are now virtually unbreakable.

Most time might be beatable on the women's side. I'm going out on a limb and saying that tonight an entrant in the women's rumble becomes the first to last at least 1 hour.

My predictions for the #RoyalRumble are:

Roman beats Baron
Becky beats Asuka
Bayley beats Lacey
DBry beats Fiend

Drew or Roman win the men's RR match
Ronda, Shayna or Nia win the women's RR match

Gonna try to tune in live via "alternative methods".... haven't watched WWE in close to a year....

Maybe this is Renee Young's year to win....

Streams I have found aren't great.... will probably just give up and not bother

Crowd was already out of sync with the opening countdown.

Gonna be great!

Yeah..... though, personally don't mind missing this match....

Free trial to the rescue :yes:

WWE Network controls won't go away over the video........ gonna illegally stream it due 2 horrible experience @WWENetwork @WWEHelpDesk

Don't want 2 watch this match...

Feel like the crowd will be "exhausted" for the rest of hte night after this match

Triple A #1 big dog fan

Tuning in because it’s the Royal Rumble. I looked up favorites to win and Drew McIntyres name kept coming up. Did I miss something?

Dave Wadding 'marking out' rn

This Falls Count Anywhere match has felt a bit boring soo far.

Found a working stream, but kinda wish I didn't......

Hope they go onto the train where juan soto hit the HR

Would be funny if a Falls Count Anywhere match simply ran "too long" so they have to bring people out for the next match and they just check on the Falls Count Anywhere match backstage throughout the show.

Feel like it's probably happened back in the Hardcore Title days.

Glad they’re getting this out of the way. I’ve never actually seen a Reigns vs Corbin match yet I feel sick of it.

They need Paul Heyman to bring out a trashcan and start banging it before the next entrant comes out.
