Does Hunter hold it for 2 months? What is the fast lane main event now? Reigns/Lesnar number one contenders match |

I would honestly pay someone $100 if they could use the term "Buried" correctly on this site. Zack Ryder was buried when he was used as pawn in the Cena/Kane story line and the mess with Eve before being almost completely taken off of television. Where's my money?   |

I don't think many will agree with me but I don't think having AJ debut here was the right call. He really didn't do anything and got tossed out halfway through the match, making him an afterthought in the whole thing. Would've been more effective to have him debut tomorrow in my opinion. Naaa now he can go after whoever eliminated him or be pursued by someone he eliminated. They need every precious second they can to make him look like a big deal heading into Wrestlemania. |

That was a spectacular show. Like...top to bottom amazing.
The kickoff was what it was. A little confused by the ending (When did Mark Henry become the legal man?), but it was a fun little match.
Intercontinental championship was great too. It was a brawl, it needed to be a brawl, and if anyone could deliver, it was Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens.
Though I wish the Usos won, the tag match was good too and still a lot of fun. The spot at the end with Big E catching Uso was simple, but effective.
The US title match was...kind of sloppy, but Del Rio lost, so of course I'm happy. Bonus that it was Kalisto that beat him.
I think Charlotte and Becky Lynch have great chemistry with one another and aside from the Rumble itself I consider this match of the night. I would have liked to see Becky win, but if she had to lose that was the right way to go through with it. I may be one of few people to say this though, but I'm not too terribly interested in a Charlotte/Sasha Banks feud. Would rather see Becky keep chasing and ultimately coming out on top.
Then there's the Royal Rumble itself. I've said before that the best Rumble in the past five years was 2013. Yes, it was predictable that Cena was going to win, but the match itself was so damn fun. Was this match a similar case? Yes. Was it even better? Oh hell yes. Even with all the rumours and potential spoilers out there, I still got goosebumps when AJ Styles walked out. They handled his elimination well too. Seeing Zayn was great. I had a feeling he'd be the NXT guy this year. I'm very interested to see where Wyatts/Lesnar goes. Kane and Big Show were both handled very well. The only complaint I really have is a minor one and that's the recap of Reigns' beatdown that they showed. It was a little distracting, but nothing major. Now, I know this means we're heading for Reigns/Triple H at Wrestlemania and while that does intrigue me a bit, I think it has as much potential to flop as it does to succeed. Personally, I'm just glad he didn't retain. That would have been a bit overkill. Great show overall.

Glad I stayed up to watch this pay-per-view, was great from start to finish, one of the better Rumble matches we have had in the last few years too. AJ Styles debuting was awesome to see. Was very predictable that Triple H was going to win when he entered at #30 but I'm not bothered in the slightest.
Sami Zayn entering the Rumble as well was awesome, loved it. If he is called up to the main roster after this, then I hope he has a match with Owens at WrestleMania.
All in all, good night, can't wait to see what happens on Raw.

The Rumble was a great show. HHH winning deflated me, even though him winning was very predictable. You would think hearing the reaction Ambrose gets, they would latch their rocket on him as their next big babyface, but they went with Roman. Sadly Dean will waste away in the midcard for a long, long time. Roman is Vince's guy and nothing will change that. Any threat to Roman will be held back and squashed if necessary. That's Dean's punishment for getting over with the fans. |

Nobody got buried in that match.
I wish AJ Styles played a more prominent role.
That is all.

Someone from creative needs to read on the internet who is the guess for most likely to win and tell Vince so he can pick someone else. This has been the 4th or 5th year in a row it's been pretty obvious. Almost every Rumble since Big John Studd won is predictable to some extent. You know who the top dog is, and the top two maybe three realistic options. It's never been someone totally out of left field. |

There's literally no storyline for having Ambrose walk into Mania a double champion, let alone money. His time will come though, he was far from buried. Huge win in the LMS match followed by a fantastic Rumble showing. Hardly a bad day at the office.

Reigns vs HHH at Fastlane would be better imo.

Does Hunter hold it for 2 months? What is the fast lane main event now? Reigns/Lesnar number one contenders match Reigns gets a rematch. Plus, why would Lesnar get a #1 contenders shot? |

Can we just talk about Rusev decided to steal a monitor from ringside?

That awkward moment when a guy debuts and is more over than your champion at the time.

I'm glad the WWE faithful seemed to enjoy the show overall. I'm also glad that I saved another $10. I'll tune into Raw to see what they're going to do with AJ, but other than that I think I'm gonna give it a few weeks and try again. Maybe around WrestleMania season I'll find something interesting.

That was great, I expected Trips and Ambrose to shake hands and then trips go over to top on his own. but I will take HHH as champ! Loved the way , it was playing out, no brock at the end , FRAK Reigns is winning.
Also WWE get a clue please. roman was booed with the crowd, you know the ones that drop money on the in person attendance, your action figures your t shirts, your network.
Ambrose, Brock, Owens, Zayne , Styles...those should be your guys . When your golden is booed (and freaking gassed after ninety seconds), perhaps your on the wrong train. The previously mentioned guys got cheers upon cheers.
Also Straughman (sp) and Brock was actually intriguing. It wouldn't be a five star match by any means but it has the possibility of being old school fun.
