RIShane Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 11 hours ago, L_W_P said: Men's Rumble: Most Eliminations: Lesnar. I see him throwing out 7 or 8 of the first 10 people to come in before he hits a brick wall in Cain/Roman. Iron Man: Mustafa Ali. Comes in around #5 and makes the final four. We get some interaction between he and Kofi after what happened 12 months ago. Final 4: Roman Reigns, Keith Lee, Mustafa Ali & Kofi Kingston. Winner: Kingston. He is then torn between avenging his loss to Brock,leaving SDL and the New Day in the process, or having to face up to THE FIEND Women's Rumble: Most Eliminations: Charlotte Flair. This will be her noted stat for 2020. I can even see her breaking the men's record and throwing half the other women out. Iron Man: Sasha Banks. This is her thing with these matches so let it keep rolling. Charlotte can enter half way while the ring is full and dump out 10 people quickly but Sasha is in the first 4 and makes it to the end. Final 4: Flair, Banks, Baszler & Alexa Bliss Winner: Shayna Baszler. She is, arguably, the best wrestler on the roster right now. Her attention to detail is brilliant and her development and growth have been beyond all possible imagination. She faces Becky at Mania to "do what Ronda couldn't" planting the seeds for Rousey to return post Mania for some involvement. I can understand them running Becky/Shayna, but that underwhelming Survivor Series match lowered my expectations quite a bit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I love the optimism of Ali getting Ironman when it appears he might not even get into the damn rumble at this point. That said, if they don’t have Kofi and Morrison doing a “doing absurd things to keep from being eliminated” off, I’ll be massively disappointed.

Brian Fowler Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I said it last year I think (maybe two years ago) but I still think the funniest possible thing would be AJ Lee being in the women's match, but no Punk on the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if they both do the Handstand save at the same time then Both try to eliminate each other. The real question is if Kacy is in can see Top last Year?

I'm hoping neither show up. I really don't want to see them involved in anything outside of that Fox show and the eventual HoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping both Royal Rumble matches are 2018 level than last year's. I hope it's good but that match had the luxury of legends returning and Sasha Banks carrying a heavy dose of the workload. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think the going opinion is that the royal rumble champions are going to be Rousey and Reigns. I mean seriously they just announced a new shirt for Rousey on their site. And given that Reigns has been having to babysit Baron Corbin for almost 4 months he deserves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Forget babysitting Corbin. Aside from a few singles matches against Drew, Roman’s basically been fighting random meaningless heel gangs since he returned. Fuck all of that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I’m sure there will be a lot of speculation until the match ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) So if the Edge rumours are legit where does he go? The guy that stops Lesnar? Yeah could be semi-interesting. No better or worse than the rest of the Lesnar Mania programs. Cant see him getting dropped on his head that many times by Lesnar though. Rollins? Seems a quick drop of the Owens/Joe feud/tag titles/etc. McIntyre? Corbin? Duelling pipebomb promos with Punk? "She was mine before she was yours, Adam"?

John from Cincinnati Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I'd still guess Orton. Relatively safe, lots of history/trust, and he mentioned Edge by name within the last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 The above. I'd also suggest though it won't happen, Daniel Bryan. Bryan's the best at working round strengths/limitations of opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) There's only a handful of matches I'm into: both Royal Rumble matches, Fiend/Bryan and Becky/Asuka. Rest is filler you'd have to sit through live so I'm not sure I will be. Predicting Roman Reigns wins the Men's Royal Rumble match. Shayna Baszler the Women's version though I'd really like it to be Sasha Banks. Don't want Charlotte. Other matches have predictable outcomes. Love Daniel Bryan to go over but that ain't happening.

The Natural Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thought I'd have a quick go at the 10 best Royal Rumble matches: 10. 1998. Winner: Steve Austin. 9. 2002. Winner: Triple H. 8. 2018 Men's. Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura. 7. 2018 Women's. Winner: Asuka. 6. 2010. Winner: Edge. 5. 2004. Winner: Chris Benoit. 4. 2008. Winner: John Cena. 3. 2007. Winner: The Undertaker. 2. 2001. Winner: Steve Austin. 1. 1992. Winner: Ric Flair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 94 probably deserves some credit for introducing both the monster heel eliminates everybody and the both hit the floor at the same time tropes that have been done to death eons of times since. 1997 was wild too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 On one hand, I'm looking forward to the women's Royal Rumble because I have no idea what's going to happen (though I do expect Shayna to be involved). On the other hand, they did a really bad job promoting it. They had one segment on Smackdown where they just threw them all in a ring to brawl for 30 seconds (including Bayley and Lacey) and that was it.. 4 announced participants versus 27 announcements on the men's side. Yeah, the women's revolution isn't going too well right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assume that if Edge returns it is to get the Saudi Blood Money and not about some Wrestlemania moment. Because like you mentioned there really isn't anything except some nothing match against guys like Drew or Corbin. I mean I would love Edge vs Corbin so that we get Corbin as far away from matches that mean anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
