Holy shit next year will be a decade of AJ in WWE.
Decent chance he wrestles long enough where his WWE tenure lasts even longer than his TNA one. Would be awesome for him to do one last TNA match with the working agreement. |

They showed restraint with the mystery entrants in this Rumble and it’s a good thing
Hendry is the perfect fun mystery guy, him and a few injury returnees are surprise enough Lots of surprise entrants usually only happens when WWE don’t have faith in their roster. The 2012 Rumble was particularly egregious for it, like 7-8 surprises in that one including all the announcers. The field for this one was loaded. Shitload of star power and that’s what people want to see. Glad they didn’t shoehorn McAfee or someone else in there. Handled it beautifully. |

WWE was notorious for benching the healthy half of a tag team when their partner got hurt. But in 2020 they had restrictions and were looking for new things to do with a reduced roster, no fans etc. they were willing to take on risks.
Jey could’ve just been a one-off program for a newly heel Roman, yet it turned into multi-months. Solidified him as a legit guy. And yes he went back to tagging for a while, but with a higher profile. But it all goes back to his run behind closed doors. Setting himself up for incredible success like this. Imagine going to 2015 and telling someone Jey Uso would be a legit main eventer a decade later? Never ever ever would’ve believed that. |

I mean, personally I always thought Jey had a >50% chance. I think he probably chooses to face Gunther at WrestleMania 41 assuming he’s still world heavyweight champion after Elimination Chamber and wins his first WHC. I don’t think Cody is dropping the Undisputed title anytime terribly soon.
EDIT: Oh, no. That report definitely sounded legit and not like a shoot. Hope I’m wrong, though. After all he went through, it would be an absolute shame if he had to vacate his title. Last edited by DAMN iNATOR; 02-01-2025 at 10:51 PM. |

The only problem is Jey vs Gunther just had a really boring SNME match...but you can't do Cody vs Jey either bc they aren't turning Cody heel anytime soon
So I suppose Jey vs Gunther it is Also makes it look like we are getting Punk vs Roman vs Seth hmmm |

Back home.... was watching at a friend's house.....
Women's Rumble was pretty bad I think... Normally past few years I have felt the women's Rumble was really fun and sometimes better than the men's Rumble.... This year felt like there weren't really any "stories" or anything "going on". Of course it could be that I am also now unfamiliar with a lot of the names via not watching.... End of the woman's match was very anti-climactic too.... Roxanne Perez had a moment of "Oh, the timing is off... I could easily get back in the ring, but I better wait here for Charlotte to kick me". DIY vs MCMG had a pretty cool hype package, but then the actual match felt very rushed and without a lot of "drama" for a 2 out of 3 falls match. Felt like the falls just flew by, and then ended with shenanigans. Basically a time waster. Cody vs KO was pretty great. Seems like it has been a good feud and that KO has done a great job getting Cody (more) over. KO is always quality.... I wonder what is next for him... if maybe he is going to fight Sami Zayn again.... Men's Rumble was a lot of fun this year. Really well structured... a bunch of smaller guys in the first half putting on a good show... then the mid-card big-men came in and started to get over.... and then finally just a poop ton of star power got into the ring... probably one of the most "star studded" Rumbles in a long time. Jey Uso winning was a legit shock but I ain't mad at it. My friend said that Jey just had a match against Gunther where he came very close... so I imagine that he will go for Gunther again in order to "prove himself". Gives Jey a big moment, puts over the secondary world title as "legit"..... and now Cena gets to have "more drama" in his Road to Wrestlemania when he has to go win the Elimination Chamber. Overall, the world title match and the Men's Rumble made this show worth it. And unlike what others have said here, I didn't feel like the pacing of the event was bad, with the timing and breaks between matches. Gave it time to breath. |

Pretty good show. Best Women’s Rumble I’ve ever seen. I haven’t seen them all. Thought it was cool how Roxanne almost did “The Bayley” but couldn’t quite pull it off. Jordynne/Piper had that cool spot. Chelsea is over. Everyone played their part well.
Tag Titles was okay. Liked the fake tag spot. Didn’t really cook. People seemed to be politely watching. I didn’t like the finish. If Street Profits were going to get involved they should have helped MCMG win. Everyone kind of looks a bit stupid coming out of this. I liked that they didn’t use any weapons other than the ladder in the WWE Title match. Some of those spots were insane. I think Owens is going to hold Zayn not getting involved and not being at his bedside against him. And I’m sure he’ll whine about Cody trying to break his neck. Surprised at the Rumble outcome. It makes sense given how over Jey is. Thought a lot of people had good shine. They missed an opportunity by not giving it to Chad Gable. Jacob Fatu is a madman. I’m curious to see where Punk/Roman/Seth goes. Was good to see AJ back. Kind of hoping Jey challenges Cody. Don’t think that’s happening, but it would be my preference over Jey vs. Gunther. I guess there are lots of wrinkles they can add to the story. Will Jimmy be supportive or jealous? How will Sami feel? All that jazz. Maybe they can just send Jey to NXT and he can challenge Oba Femi? ![]() |

Jey is the top merch seller so him winning while a surprise makes sense from a business p.o.v.
Plus it will be one of those "main-events" that takes place mid-show instead of closing the night. |

I mean…it could pop the bubble. But if it doesn’t work, you’ve at least got a rejected People’s Champion. I’ve seen way overblown negativity about it. Jey Uso getting pushed at this stage after the run he’s been having since the pandemic (basically) makes sense.
WWE has seldom had a babyface win their first World Title in the main event off their first Royal Rumble win. I think it’s basically Batista and Drew McIntyre — and Drew didn’t get to do it in front of people. Chris Benoit if you don’t count the WCW Title. Jey’s in a pretty rare spot. |

Anybody else getting the vibe that Punk's "favor" is going to be getting Jey to put his WM spot on the line in which Punk will win....Seth beats Gunther at some point for the belt, setting up Punk/Rollins for the title....Roman is pissed at Paul for helping Punk get the title match and soon it becomes a triple threat for the title??? Still think it's gonna be Cena/Cody at WM. I'm thinking Sami costs Jey the win in the Punk match setting up Sami/Jey at WM.
I'd like to see if any of this plays out. |
