Alex Shelley is still wrestling? Haven't heard that name in years.

Curious to see how MCMG can move these days... 2 out of 3 vs DIY could be fun I guess....

But of course the main attraction is the Rumble.

Feel like Kevin Owens gets a lot of world title shots at the Rumble and always misses out on being a part of them...

Do I remember hearing like D-von never participated in a rumble?

I guess last year Owens only had a US title match... year before that he fought Roman.... three years in a row with no Rumble appearance for Owens cause he's busy fighting for titles

Not only that, they actually captured the WWE Tag Team Championships in their 3rd match in WWE after already having beaten DIY immediately before the title match. They lost them last month to DIY after 42 days, then they won a #1 contender tournament 2 weeks ago and the 2 out of 3 falls match announcement between them and DIY was made on last week’s SmackDown!.

Big spotlight for DIY/MCMG here.

I’ll probably watch the Rumble close to live for the first time in years. They’ve done a good job hyping this one. I’m curious to see how they put it all together.

Jey Uso is probably going to be #1 or #2 so he can do the big entrance.

Pulling for a Chad Gable win. I think he’s got a good chance.

I think I had the idea a couple of years ago that there would be a tournament to see who fought Roman for the title at WM, and the winner of the Rumble would fight Gunther for the IC title and I had Chad Gable booked to win that Rumble.

Gable wins the Rumble, Christian wins the tournament. :y:

There is gonna be some fuckery in the men's rumble for sure. Thinking they are gonna go with Cena to face Gunther.

I’m leaning more towards Punk.

I think the whole dang thing will get cancelled because xrod and noinfofect will collide their small brains. booom. cells for fish to evolve.

* I'm sorry future fish

when is it

Did they remove the "universal" championship or what . . .

6pm eastern tonight

hope CM Punk wins...

Roman won both, then when Cody beat him they quietly dropped the “Universal” from the “Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.”

I like MCMG. DIY are talented guys that don’t hit. That 2/3 Falls should be a great match though. It plays into how DIY first won the NXT titles. I’m sure the audience will eventually be willing to “get up” for it. It’ll probably be one of the more noteworthy tag title matches on PPV in some time.

When I saw Carmelo Hayes was confirmed for the Rumble, I thought he might get dumped out and get into it with a jaw-jacking Pat McAfee or something. Now I see that Hayes had something on SmackDown with Tyrese Haliburton. I can see something going down there, re: Hayes vs. Indiana.

This being 20 years old makes me feel old as fuck

The benefit of not really following the product is I have no fucking clue who will win. Stayed away from betting odds, twitter etc. love the Rumble.

I’m dreading Cena winning the men’s RR and winning #17. IMO Nobody should break his/Flair’s record. Wouldn’t “feel right” for a part-timer to win a world title with < a year before retirement.

The stats on the bottom of the screen are a nice touch, alas also a depressing realization my eyesight is getting to the point where I might need cheaters.

Don’t think they’ll do it, but would be cool to see Bayley win the women’s RR and become the first woman in history to win back-to-back RR matches.

First NXT/TNA wrestler in this year’s women’s RR. Will they ever have an NXT wrestler win a RR? 🤔

Someone is definitely going to walk to the ring so slowly that the interval expires before they get there.

I yearn for the days of everybody on the roster having an identifiable theme where you know who it is as soon as the music hits. I have no idea who anyone is until they’re shown on screen and, unfortunately, it’s a problem in the stadium too. Not a good combo when added to the usually acoustic issue a football stadium has.

I like the stats on the bottom of the screen

My predictions:

CM Punk
Charlotte Flair

Bad Bunny returns to eliminate Logan Paul

Just remembered that for how deflating it is to hear how little of a reaction most of the entrants are getting, it’s gonna be 10x more lifeless and depressing in Saudi next year █:(

Cole saying Bayley is a Hall of Famer. Probably someday, Cole, but not yet LOL.

Not unique to this Rumble but the blatantly inconsistent entry windows always makes me laugh. I appreciate that for AEW’s casino gauntlets they openly say “yeah, there are unlimited entrants and they intervals are random”

Holy shit Jordynne Grace is awesome

Damn, it’s really been 2 years since we last saw Alexa Bliss...

Oh dammit…in my paid Rumble pool I had #19 in the women’s Rumble and #27 in the men’s

If Charlotte wins there’s probably no way they’re gonna double down on #27 winning, even if it is the “lucky number”
