Boring winner. Mostly boring Rumble pacing wise but there were some cool moments near the end

Feels like very little happened for most of that match because they needed to fill the ring for the “Nia eliminates everyone” spot

Women's Rumble was pretty meh this year.... usually it has been good... runner up lady had a moment of "I could get in the ring, but I gotta wait"

My biggest critique of modern Rumbles is for how much the luck of the draw is supposed to matter - you have 2-3 people lasting an hour every year. Because they insist on big names being the first 2 entrants every year

This Rumble has bigger attendance than WM did last year...or will this year, just a larger stadium than either venue.

I was wondering why MCMG/DIY had a way longer video package than I ever thought they’d get and then remembered I paid for the adless Peacock for this show and that if I hadn’t, this would’ve been when I was having commercials shoved at me.

More themes with voiceovers or sound effects at the beginning.

DIY will always be one of my favorite stories because they weren’t even planned to be signed at the time WWE was signing everyone. They took a chance booking opportunity and turned it into lucrative careers, maybe the biggest feud in NXT history, bunch of titles between them etc.

McAfee having to do a nod that said “probably not” at the notion of getting into the HOF someday is funny. He knows only one punter has ever made it and it’s just nearly impossible.
Probably a better chance he goes in as a contributor as some of the other media guys have, which is a depressing enough thought. Can picture a 70 year old McAfee standing up there in a HOF jacket colored tank top. |

AEW PPVs certainly run too long but I appreciate them more after seeing this. No bullshit, right to the next match.
15-20 minutes of stalling between matches is obscene |

Roman holding the belt for 3 and a half years straight to Cody having a presumed year+ long reign is funny to me. Would love KO to throw a wrench in it and somehow get the win here.

4-5 matches is pretty standard for a Rumble PPV, especially with 2 Rumble matches. But the pacing in between is hilarious. And it’s all due to contractual obligations with Peacock. They show ads and everyone else sees random stalling efforts.
Probably nice for the people there live to take a piss and get a beer without missing a match at least. Makes for bad at-home viewing tho. |

MOTN so far but that’s not saying much
Hoping the men’s Rumble can salvage this pretty boring show |

I think Cody asked the ref if KO was ok and just selling, and when the ref told him yes he then went to the table to do his planned celebration spot
That Alabama Slam spot could’ve gone horribly wrong |

More action in these first few intervals than 90% of the women’s Rumble. Good choices to get this set of wrestlers in there.
