Eh maybe. I mean, if AJ Lee comes out, then all bets are off. Personally, I'd like to see Victoria take one of those legends spots. And if she's fixed her relationship with everyone in WWE, Kharma.
RIPPA Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 BTW - going into SDL tonight, the only active main roster women who aren't in the Rumble yet are Becky, Dana and Alicia. I am assuming Becky gets officially entered tonight. I feel like Dana and Alicia are gonna be "Well you are in if we can't find anyone else" which definitely sucks, especially for Alicia

I will maintain it would be hilarious if she's in it and then the audience goes nuts for Punk only to have him not be there. I highly doubt it happens because of the strained relationship with Punk, her physical damage, and a likely mutual lack of interest... But God I'd love to see it just to fuck with the people who still won't stop chanting for him.

Never cared for Deeb much so it would be a little disappointing to see her back. 5 hours ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Personally, I'd like to see Victoria take one of those legends spots.

Hamhock Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Kharma needs to enter both Rumbles so that she can press-slam Dolph. 2
Godfrey Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Prediction: Naomi will be one of the first two in her Rumble so she can do her full entrance. 1
Niners Fan in CT Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I'd prefer more legends and less NXT talent. If a Lita comes out crowd cheers and they are into it. If a random NXT performer shows up probably silence. 1
BrianS81177 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Isn't Nikki Bella's neck pretty fucked up? And Brie's got a 7 month old baby to take care of. Why do people think they're both going to be in?

Why do people think they're both going to be in? Because they need bodies and both have talked about training to return to the ring. Plus the WWE still lists both on the roster and it’s a Battle Royale - it’s not like either has to do much (if included)
MonteCarl Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Quick and relatively easy pay-day. Show up, get a pop, head to the ring for a few minutes of punch/kick, then an easy elimination.
DreamBroken Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Brie's talked about wanting an eventual return since before she had the baby. On Total Divas, they talk about wanting to make a return together. I figured since they are announced for Raw 25, they might announce entry then.
Matt788 Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 If.there is a 30 woman rumble without Foxy that will be a crime.

The Natural Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 14 hours ago, RIPPA said: Also - on the radio show, Meltzer said the number of spots for "legends" in the Women's Rumble is between 2-4 because "a lot" of NXT women will be in it. Who knows what "a lot" means but based on all the math we have been doing in the thread - I would say a half dozen This is disappointing. The Royal Rumble match always needs surprise participants, it's one of the things you look forward to. More than less preferring. Think of the best surprise entrant in John Cena as #30 winning the 2008 Royal Rumble match at MSG. Cena is cheered then the fans resort back to type booing him!
The Natural Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I remember Haku from the 2001 Royal Rumble match, Mick Foley in 2004, Roddy Piper in 2008 and Foley again that year.

Why is 2-4 surprise entrants disappointing? They don't need half the Rumble to be former Superstars. They should be showcasing and getting over their newer talent. 4 max seems to be a decent amount of surprise entrants. I will say this. If WWE wants to run an all-women's WrestleMania main event, Ronda Rousey would be the key to doing so. If Ronda Rousey is WWE bound and shows up at the Rumble, she should win and face Charlotte at WrestleMania. That's an easy PPV main event that people will believe in and get behind. Rousey is a huge PPV draw, and it would be a huge major event. Just saying, it ticks off a ton of boxes, and what better way to set up the first ever all women's WrestleMania main event with the former baddest woman on the planet and UFC champion against the heir apparent to Ric Flair who has become a huge superstar in her own right. Charlotte's already proven she can be reliable in such a spot.

I agree with you about the newer talent getting their due.

I find six surprise entrants is excessive. In 2016, I think the only two surprise entrants were AJ Styles and Sami Zayn. Everyone knew Triple H was beating Roman Reigns that night. I'd love it if Ivory could show up and be a part of it because IMHO she deserves it, but she's also 57 and she might not be up for such a performance. If Trish and Lita are down and ready to do it, I say great, but honestly I don't think it even needs more than that for two classic icons. Trish and Lita.

Why do people think they're both going to be in? There isn't any reason someone that has a seven month old baby can't work, I think Bryan could watch the kid for a day. Serena Williams already is back playing tennis, just for a sports example, but there are millions of mothers in the country with babies that still have jobs. So if she still wants to wrestle I don't see why she couldn't be in the Rumble.
TheVileOne Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 I'm not sure the condition of Nikki Bella's neck. However, I see no reason Brie Bella couldn't make an appearance for the night and do a quick in and out Rumble appearance, if she were to show up.
The Natural Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 My surprise wish list be: Trish, Lita, Victoria, Molly Holly, Madusa and Beth Phoenix.

The only change I'd make is Kharma over Lita. It would be a fun moment for Kharma and Nia Jax to face off or a three way face off between Nia, Kharma, and Tamina. 1
(BP) Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 Kia doesn't really look like a hoss anymore. If she's in it I'd almost expect them to have her in her GLOW gear.
DeathyBoy Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 They should throw an invite to Gail Kim. 1 1
