NikoBaltimore Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'm honestly going to switch commentary to the Japanese team during that match. Though if Kavita Devi comes out I'm going right to Hindi because I'm sure they'll be losing their minds. And I'm going with Lashley being a surprise entrant. He might not get the reaction AJ did two years ago but he deserves another shot if the timing works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't mean to keep interrupting the Steph hate, but Renee Young was actually not very good as an announcer. Remember her NXT work? There's a reason they have her doing what she's great at - the backstage interviews and Talking Smack type stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I feel like Renee Young announcing was a blind spot for most of the board. She would actively get herself over and often at the expense of the wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Renee even went far to admit she was bad at it and wasn't really comfortable doing it. She's a lot better interacting with people and playing off them than she is commentating. That's why she's good at the Pre-Show type stuff.

Though, if Rousey is in, and she eliminates Stephanie, only to get tossed by Asuka, that would be ideal. Yeah, but when was the last time a Rumble had a smart, ideal finish? 2008?

BobbyWhioux Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 1992, if you accept the truth that Hogan was always actually the heel. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Sabu is apparently still working sporadically. Putting him in there would get a massive pop, especially if it was to lead to his HOF induction later this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Sugar Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The one thing I love about the Royal Rumble is fans going mental predicting who will win it. There's some people I know insisting Daniel Bryan not only comes back but wins it. That CM Punk comes back and wins. FFS, use your head. Aside from Balor or maybe Shinsuke winning it to challenge AJ, who else is feasible? Braun? Roman again because why the Hell not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bianca Blair I think will be in it as well since they can do cool spots with her hair like they did in the Women's Battle Royal to determine the 4th spot in the Takeover War Games 4 way. Abbey Laith should be in as well because she is a Chikara and CZW product so it is a homecoming for her and fills an NXT spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll give it to him again this year, but I'd absolutely love it. And people would be sick enough of Orton randomly being shoved down their holes again that they'd buy all the way in on the heel turn. But Orton the three time Rumble winner? In back-to-back years after the wet fart he got from booking last year? I don't see it. So I'm sticking with Balor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Harms Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 8 hours ago, MORELOCK said: Literally everyone that has said anything at all about Stephanie related to the Rumble means to be negative about the show before it airs. It's a very intentional choice. Oh well, whoopsy daisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Finn, Nakamura, Kofi, Big E, Dolph, Roman, or Cena winning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I'm not really too bothered about Steph on commentary. I honestly can't remember if she has done it before so I can play wait and see. Personally I wouldn't have mind if they gave Lita another shot. She was the better of the two between her and JR during the MYC, and I can see her working well enough if she had someone like Corey by her side.
