ChrisM Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Someone on Reddit suggested that Sami Zayn should win the RR, and go on to to face either KO or Roman at WM. Honestly, I love the idea of mega-underdog Zayn vs Reigns for the Universal championship. The crowd heat on Reigns would be more off the charts than usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Let's be blunt, the biggest problem with this Rumble will almost 100% be that all the fantasy booking will be better then what actually happens. Like, let's be blunt, do we really think any of Lesnar/Goldberg/Taker is getting eliminated by someone new? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt788 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Angle is actively wrestling at what culture shows. Its not like he is completely retired. A triumphant Angle return would be outstanding. Only if it is just rumble to Mania. Then he retires or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, and Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and Natalya is announced as being on the main card. I don't know who is going to win but I'd predict poor Becky is going to get turned by someone on and left laying. 22 people announced for the rumble, 13 Raw, 8 Smackdown plus Taker as the wildcard. As American Alpha were coming up through the ranks in NXT I thought you'd have to actively try not to make these guys the next big thing. It looks like they're doing exactly that - no match, not even announced for the rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Maybe, as many people fantasy booked, they will repackaged with Angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes too much sense for WWE to have Angle as the coach for Alpha. I hope they end up being in the Rumble. Speaking of which, why are the Uso's not in the Rumble? They were lumberjacks in the Ambrose/Miz match. Is one of them injured again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/injury-update-finn-balor-nikki-bella-impersonates-aj-styles-video Quote PWInsider reports that Finn Balor, who has been out of action after suffering a shoulder injury last August, will be undergoing medical testing this week that could clear him to return to the ring. I'm still holding out hope that Balor could maybe, not likely, but possibly show up as a surprise entrant and win facing Owens at Mania for "his" title. I'm going to hold out optimistic hope for this maybe happening until it doesn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Edge did win the 2010 Rumble by not having to do that much since he came back early to win the rumble then heal more by Mania. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Web Conn Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Give Balor the late entrant at like 28 and only have to work ten minutes or so. I don't know I think there's money in a Owens vs Balor title match at Mania. Balor thristing the title he never lost writes itself. Owens and Jericho implode on a Raw, Jericho can loose the US title to Cass (and you do Cass vs Rusev US Title at Mania) later on that Raw due to Owens. bringing us to the to Owens vs Jericho payoff at Fastlane. Jericho disappears after that PPV. Only to run in during the Balor vs Owens match at Mania hitting Owens with the belt when the refs down leading to Balor hitting the Coup De Grace and getting the Pin. Jericho goes off to tour with Fozzy and Balor and Owens feud over the title throughout the spring and you can continue the Owens vs Jericho feud when Jericho returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angle vs. Styles in Orlando at Mania? Do you want to make Dixie Carter cry? Trade The Club for The Usos during February sweeps., run AJ, Gallows and Anderson vs. Angle and American Alpha. One of those teams develops a triple team finisher they call the NOmega, just for kicks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Man I really hope the recent odds on the Rumble winner is crap. I mean he has a great year but no way with all of these guys in the Rumble that Orton should be the winner. although it does slap in the face of Meltzer's idea of Wyatt vs Orton unless they are really planning on fucking up the Elimination chamber match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Angle probably won't get cleared, have him bring back Team Angle with Swagger and Shelton (he's still going to come back once his injury heals right?) to feud with AA. Have him say AA aren't real olympians or aren't legit enough or something like that. They could eventually join forces for Survivor Series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
