For Great Justice Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) 32 minutes ago, Dolfan in NYC said: I know this can be hard to believe... but people are allowed to be fans of, and spend money on, both companies. In particular a Rumble or Mania crowd. I suspect that your average Raw taping or live event has a somewhat high percent of casual / non-AEW fans. But at least if you take me as an example, I haven't watched a main roster WWE show in like a year but if the Rumble was in town I'd definitely go. A Danhausen cameo on Saturday or whatever would've gotten a big pop, too. The average Raw not so much.

odessasteps Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I can easily see fans buying tickets to troll another company's show, especially on "ppv", doubly so if we are talking about the smark HQ of the East Coast corridor (Boston to DC).

paintedbynumbers Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This may be the least excited I've ever been for a Rumble. Maybe because a lot of my favorites have gone to AEW, maybe because the mystery of "will Punk be a surprise" is now gone. Maybe because the winner STILL doesn't get to main event Mania, especially with it now being 2 nights. Hell the only thing that's for sure about winning the Rumble is that you won't be released until after April 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 There's all these wierd non-talent announcements, of people who are "going to be in St Louis on Rumble weekend". Like Kurt Angle and the Undertaker. And, like, Aksana. Perhaps they're going to do HoF announcements on the Premium Live Event as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) The 2022 Royal Rumble event has sold most of the limited seats setting. 38,126 Tickets Distributed, but 35,367 (92.8%) sold.

dragonzombie Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Boogs, Nakamura and Ricochet are all in the Rumble. So only 5 slots left unknown... Edited January 29, 2022 by Blue Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Moose Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Quote Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura Rick Boogs Ricochet Omos Randy Orton Riddle Raw Tag Team Champion Otis Raw Tag Team Champion Chad Gable Dolph Ziggler Robert Roode Kevin Owens Big E AJ Styles United States Champion Damian Priest Johnny Knoxville Sami Zayn Kofi Kingston Happy Corbin Madcap Moss Sheamus Angelo Dawkins Montez Ford Rey Mysterio Dominik Mysterio Austin Theory OK. My guesses for the final five are Spoiler Ridge Holland, GUNTHER, Bron Breakker, and the losers from Rollins/Reigns/Lesnar/Lashley. With an outside shot of Grayson Waller.

The Natural Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Glad Sasha Banks is back in time for the Royal Rumble match. Really hope she wins and the build towards WrestleMania XXXVIII is that she's never won at WrestleMania but will this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Still my favourite women's Royal Rumble match. The 2018 Royal Rumble had two great Royal Rumble matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the traveling British fans are allowed back in the country, so if any group is gonna be snarky at WWE shows Anyways, a brief list of non-Sunday Royal Rumbles Tomorrow/today the 29th (the NFL added a week and the WWE moved to Saturday to avoid running the Rumble in February) Royal Rumble 1994 (the NFL added a week and the WWF moved to Saturday to avoid them) Royal Rumble 1991 (on a Saturday because the NFL didn't have a bye week between the conference championships and the Super Bowl. Also they were in Miami and the Dolphins weren't out of the playoffs until the week before the Rumble) The Rumble has been bumped by both the first NFL bye week (1990), the year the NFL had two bye weeks (1993), and the first 17 game NFL season (2021) Now if tomorrow/today's Rumble ends with two winners, or Tenryu/Kabuki show up to help Roman Reigns put Seth Rollins in a casket, then we'll show they just dusted off the ideas from the last Saturday Rumble. I'm using the "tomorrow/today" thing since while it's Saturday and all, it's not really Saturday until I go to sleep, take that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Be interesting to see the Iron Man and Iron Woman. I'm hoping this is the first Royal Rumble a woman goes an hour. A man hasn't since Chris Jericho, 2017 in a traditional 30 man Royal Rumble match. I'd like the Women's Royal Rumble to go on last, it hasn't since the first in 2018. To me, a Royal Rumble match should always main event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Based on the reported surprises - I am pretty sure the Women's Rumble is closing the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Moneghetti Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Meltzer still thinks they're doing Brock-Roman at WM, so.... one of them loses their title then goes on to win the Rumble? That's my prediction. I can't see Seth being the one to finally end Roman's reign (pun intended) unless Brock was winning the title on Day One and Roman was going to chase him to WM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Rollins isn't the one to end the longest WWE Universal Championship reign ever. If one were to lose their title, I think it's Lesnar to Lashley via Reigns/Bloodline getting involved.
