Feel through the middle cause of Beth and Natalya.

oh no there she is. i love how all of them who last in the match for a little while get to go outside and take 10 minute breaks. sashas been outside the ring more than shes been inside the ring.

[Hammer]

rousey at 30, i guess?

[Hammer]

or trish. that makes sense too.

[Hammer]

trish has definitely had a bunch of botox injections in her face

[Hammer]

im happy for these women for getting the main event spot, because itll definitely be the last time the womens main event goes before the mens

My money’s still on Asuka.

well its asuka or sasha. making sasha go coast to coast wouldnt shock me. its not gonna be a part timer though.

[Hammer]

well good, asuka gets to destroy both the bellas.

[Hammer]

that was more entertaining than i expected it to be. it was far from the best worked match ive ever seen though.

[Slyder]

I want Asuka vs Flair but that’s just me.

Team Asia with the flawless victory

Per usual trying to drum up some interest...

Raw Tag Titles: Rollins & Jordan vs The Bar: There's something interesting in Rollins/Jordan as a team and places they can still go. I hope they don't lose the belts here. I know they were only thrown together storyline wise cause Ambrose got hurt but still, they've found something in whiny Jordan... With that said I hope we see Jordan get swung.
Winner: Rollins & Jordan

Usos vs Benjamin/Gable: Likewise I think the Usos have swung face again. Let them chase and see what Gable/Benjamin can do at the top for a bit.
Winner: Benjamin/Gable

AJ Styles vs Kami: This is more about Shane/Bryan than anything else. I can't see why they would let Kami be "co champs".
Winner: AJ Styles

Women's Royal Rumble Match: How many legends do they have to find to fill the 30 women requirement? WWE lists 18.
1) Asuka, 2) Ruby Riott, 3) Liv Morgan, 4) Sarah Logan, 5) Sasha Banks, 6) Nia Jax, 7) Bayley, 8) Naomi, 9) Natalya, 10) Sonya Deville, 11) Mandy Rose, 12) Mickie James, 13) Tamina Snuka, 14) Lana, 15) Carmella, 16) Becky Lynch, 17) Dana Brooke, 18) Alicia Fox.

Some predictions:
1 No Lita or Trish IN the match.
2 Steph is #29
3 Rousey is #30
4 I'll give you the entire field at any odds if you give me Asuka and Rousey.
5 Both Bellas come back (Brie as a one shot; Nikki permanent)
6 Too Cool returns and has a showdown with the Bellas.
7 Beth Phoenix returns and pounds the heck out of people to my delightment. I would also enjoy Kharma giving a bunch of people the implant buster.
8 "EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME!"
9 Santina returns!

Triple Threat of Death: Kane's there to eat the pin. I hope WWE is smart enough to see Braun needs this. Will they? Heck NO. Only reason I'm interested in this is they've already set the bar high in terms of what these dudes will do to each other.
Winner: Brock Lesnar

Men's Royal Rumble Match: Likewise 18 announced as "official". 1) John Cena, 2) Roman Reigns, 3) Finn Bálor, 4) Randy Orton, 5) Shinsuke Nakamura, 6) The Miz, 7) Elias, 8) Baron Corbin, 9) “Woken” Matt Hardy, 10) Bray Wyatt, 11) Aiden English, 12) Rusev, 13) Titus O'Neil,
14) Apollo Crews, 15) Tye Dillinger, 16) Big E, 17) Kofi Kingston, 18) Xavier Woods

Some predictions:
1) Roman doesn't win, Roman wins #1 contender match at Elimination Chamber.
2) Winner will be: Shinsuke Nakamura
3) My Dark Horse (Granted I don't know how much of a dark horse as he's 3rd or 4th favorite): Daniel Bryan.
4) No Dolph Ziggler
5) If Jeff's still out for a while. Why not have Hardy eliminate Bray and work "purify" Sister Abagail and use Bray as sort of Brother Nero Role to try something different? He's done everything.
6) Bludgeon Brothers arrive and have a moment with Bray.
7) Batista returns.
8)EC3 debuts with Dixie Carter.

By far the best rumble in a long time. I don't know the results of the pre show but lets review the rest. They reversed the tag titles on me and even clean sweep for the Usos.

AJ vs Kami was pretty solid as well, AJ won about how you should expect and this will still continue a little longer to give time to build AJ/Nakamura.

Women's Rumble: Much better than I expected. I was reminded how much I hated the women/diva's division about a decade ago.

My predictions?
1-3... 0 for... Kind of... Surprised they didn't save Lita for mid 20s to have a moment with Trish.
4 so blatently clear that anyone could see.
5 we'll have to see if I'm right about their returns.
6 No Layla...
7 YAY! Was hoping for more but that was a nostalgia with Natalya.
8 Perfect use for her to let them have a bit of a break.
9 There's always next year!

So 4.5 out 9... 50%... I'll take it. Much more entertaining than I expected even with Kelly Kelly and some of the other filler.

Men's Rumble: That's how you book a final 4 and make it plausible that any of the 4 could win and be cheered (even Roman). HEATH SLATER was a STAR for me!

My predictions?
1-2 Correct
3 No Daniel Bryan
4 What was the point of him just walking out to come back to be another guy in the Rumble? And how many Rumbles has he been like 27 or later to do NOTHING?
5 Liked the Bray/Hardy stuff and them eliminating each other.
6 Wrong.
7 Wrong. Maybe night after Mania?
8 He was at NXT Takeover...
