Because of the logo in the bottom right corner. I’m just surprised Christian didn’t have a blue dot on his face the entire time Knowing Vince, at some point they’ll add it for the replays. IF PEACOCK EVEN LETS US HAVE REPLAYS. |

Best Woman’s Rumble match ever by far
One of my top 5-3 favorite men’s rumbles ever. Carlito is Jacked and needs a nother run 5-10’years delayed. And Christian returning will forever remain in my mind. Edge winning was the cherry on top.

I do agree with the fact that Edge didn’t need to win the Rumble, but I also don’t hate the idea of an Edge/Roman match. I think I’d rather see that over a match with McIntyre or Orton at WM.

most of the big time talent in WWE as part timers or even on the full time roster are in their 40s or older.Guys like Goldberg,Edge,Cena,Brock,Styles,Hardy,Mysterio,Orton...ect and if Christian wrestles as well. Others aged 40 or over on the male roster include Nakamura, Cesaro, Lashley, Miz, Ziggler, Roode, Shelton, Morrison, R-Truth and MVP. the future is in the hands of 39 year young daniel bryan! |

Big E, Riddle, Styles, Bryan...anyone else in this match? I love Edge but this was just ridiculous. I guess with Taker and other guys from that era finally calling it quits, now Vince will continue to not push younger guys by relying on old stars from the Ruthless Aggression era rather than the Attitude Era. Well rumors are this years Mania is going to be heavy on old timers and most of the big time talent in WWE as part timers or even on the full time roster are in their 40s or older.Guys like Goldberg,Edge,Cena,Brock,Styles,Hardy,Mysterio,Orton...ect and if Christian wrestles as well.But can see how the current roster would feel and should feel that these 40 plus year old guys on the current roster and even older guys that only wrestle a few time per year get brought back and the top spots and angle whenever their around and more so at Wrestlemania.Hard to break into the main event scene when the past keeps coming back.
Way to many old timers but can't lie do love see both Edge & Christian back and hyped to see them wrestle again.
The majority of the names you mentioned are part timers. Styles, Orton, and Hardy are still full time for the most part. Being over 40 has nothing to do with whether someone is a great performer or whether they should be pushed or not. The issue is the part timers who show up for a few dates and disappear for most of the year. The issue is WWE’s over reliance on old, part timers in prominent sports. We just saw Goldberg in a WWE Title match tonight. We just saw a near 50 year old Edge who missed 9 years of action due to a neck injury, win the Rumble from #1 (and who only lasted two matches last year before getting injured). The was a fun Rumble sans the winner to me. They had a ton of younger, full time guys who would have benefitted greatly from a rumble win tonight. |

Bryan is the blue-chipper who will lead us into the next generation. Although if he’d won the Rumble, we’d be saying he didn’t need it and that it should’ve been Edge for the fairytale comeback story. |

I wounder if maybe their a chance that they go the route of Edge & Christian challenging for both the world title.Edge/Reigns & Christian/McIntrye with both winning the title at Wrestlemania and closing the show out together hugging in the ring ? Could be a nice moment and a redo of WM XX which the WWE really can't or wont show anymore.

Yeah I saw that, but I really wanna know what that Hulkamaniac's fake insider scoop was. He must have pm'd it to someone! I'm man enough to admit when I was wrong. My source said Rollins was coming back as a face and win. He was wrong. I sent him a text after the show telling him not to speak to me again.LOL I LOOOOVE YOUUUU |

Lots of good stuff from tonight. Loved Bad Bunny 😎and loved the Christian return.
Also yikes I’m starting to regret reading some of these toxic ass WWE loyalist posts, like damn I like a lot of what WWE is doing at times but I’ve never seen so many people dedicate their entire presence to defending WWE.
Good show.

It's kind of hard to sum up how I feel about this Rumble. I guess I can't be too disappointed, since giving Bianca her moment could be a nice bit of change but at the same time, it still feels like WWE was either holding back or dropping the ball on a good few amount talent who were ready. Like Kevin Owens just to name an example.

Why though? He didn't need it, like at all. I'm a huge Edge fan, but in 2021 Edge has no right or need to be main eventing Mania. He's at the level that any match he's in is a marquee matchup by association, just an absolute shame and waste. They have such a rich, skilled roster yet the final 2 were guys who have been around for the last 20+ years! Imagine the last 2 at the 2001 Rumble being Hogan and Iron Shiek, that's what its like. And the Goldberg/McIntyre, jeez I have to ask; has McIntyre had any actual matches during the last year or have they all been a flurry of headbutts and finishers? Of course Goldberg isnt a technical marvel, but he can put on decent matches, same for McIntyre, but instead we get what we got? Ugh, IMO this show exemplifies what's wrong with the business (all companies); way way too much time spent on names made 10-20 years ago (how are the biggest names in wrestling today Edge, Orton, Jericho and  ing Don Callas?!) and mostly ignorance towards making new stars. It's not because the new guys cant go, they can, as good as the past generations ever could! It's just mind blowing. |

I thought it was a really good show
The Women's Rumble was easily the best they've had so far. Bianca and Rhea looked incredible,if I had my way I would've went with Rhea but can't go wrong with Belair. Bianca/Sasha could be motn for WrestleMania and Bliss/Rhea could be interesting if that's where they headed. Billie was probably the highlight of the entire event for me. I was a little disappointed with no big surprises but a great Rumble match still.
Very happy Drew retained,I thought he would but any time Goldberg involved its still scary. Rough match but I wasnt expecting much anyways. At least Drew came away from this match looking even stronger so I see no harm in it.
Roman/KO was a great match but that ending took a lot away from it,hopefully both can move on now. Owens didn't get the title but imo he came out of the feud still looking really good, I don't really know where he can go from here maybe start a turn since he's frustrated he couldn't get the job done.
I don't have a problem at all with Edge winning the Mens Rumble,it could've been a lot worse(looking at you Braun). I wanted Riddle or Bryan to win it but Edge was a feel good moment for me after his comeback got cut short. It was great seeing Christian and Carlito back,hope they stick around at least for a couple months especially Christian if Edge does go after Roman. E&C/Roman&Uso can be really fun. Loved the New Day tribute gear it looked great. My biggest disappointment of the night was we didn't get the Alister Black return, I thought for sure we would've seen him come back tonight.

Really good show IMO. The result was the important part for Drew/Goldberg, so no issues there whatsoever. I think I enjoyed their first match more, but Sasha/Carmella was pretty decent with the right/expected result. Really enjoyed Roman/KO. Felt like a forgone conclusion that Roman would win, but there were moments where it looked like KO might do it. The ending was unfortunate though with Heyman unable to quickly release Roman from the handcuffs. Wish they would’ve improvised something instead of heading straight into the finish, but sh*t happens when you’re live sometimes.
Women’s Rumble was pretty fun. Better surprises than the likes of Santina. Jillian was meh, but somewhat funny. Victoria was a cool surprise. Of course some NXT gals as well. Hoping this is Rhea’s proper transition to Raw or SD, she had a great showing. Shelled out a few brutal eliminations too. Surprising to see Bayley go out when she did, but it was meaningful at the hands of Belair. Also surprised at the short stay of Bliss, although I really liked how Rhea wasn’t effing around and just tossed her out. Very good back and forth ending between Rhea and Bianca. I really thought Rhea was gonna take it, but props to Bianca for getting it done. Not a huge fan of her, but she is good and I think she earned it.
Men’s Rumble was super enjoyable as well. I feel like this year had way less throw away entries than most. Hurricane was a waste, but I’m not recalling anything obvious off the top of my head at the moment. Carlito was an OK surprise, but Christian was the shocker. Great to see him compete and last quite a while, hopefully this means there’s more to come. Much like the women’s match the timing of Daniel Bryan’s elimination was a little surprising. Perhaps it’s a look into the future for a Rollins/Bryan Mania matchup. I also can’t overlook the performance of Matt Riddle. He was in there for a long time and showed that he’s just a legit as anyone else in there is. I hope there are big things to come in his future. Pretty cool ending sequence with Rollins propelling both Christian and Strowman out at the same time, followed by Edge managing to get Rollins out. We knew Orton was going to strike, and he did immediately with an RKO. But his elimination attempt was reversed straight into Edge tossing him out. I would’ve bet on Fiend shenanigans costing Orton, but I do think this offered finality to the Edge/Orton story instead.
Side note: The annual Rumble pool I do with my friends was phenomenal for me. For the men at least. I had #1 as one of my numbers, so I chalked that up as a waste knowing the chances of Orton winning were slim to none, but then out of nowhere Edge comes out #1! Random switch up, although in my head I felt like maybe there was a better chance of Edge going the distance with the #1 label instead of #2. I still liked Bryan’s chances better (and I had his entry number as well), but in the end it worked out with Edge. I was ecstatic and my friend who had #2 was feeling a lot like Sami Zayn does with his conspiracies.😁

I just watched the show and this is probably the first PPV I enjoyed the women’s stuff over the men’s. Just a few thoughts on the show.
- Goldberg in shorts... LOL just retire already. Who’s matches are more brutal.... Brocks 3 minute finish fest or Goldberg’s 3 minute finish feats?
- I actually really enjoyed Carmella tonight. She has without a doubt improved by miles in her ring work.
- I am really glad Kane was booked somewhat strong in the rumble. I believe he had 3 eliminations. I hope he keeps on building his rumble stats.
- Michael Cole said something that bothered me during the broadcast. ‘Daniel Bryan is a first ballot hall of famer’ REALLY? I think he’s a great talent but when I think 1st ballot Hall of Famer you think Hogan. Flair, Austin, Rock, Undertaker......not Daniel Bryan

I couldn't help but watch that entire Men's Rumble Match without thinking how much of a sheer lack of legitimate star power there is these days. Everybody is just the same. There's virtually no characters, just a ton of good workers. They all merge into one. Either that or there's just nobody fresh, hence the clamour for Big E to Main Event Wrestlemania (because he's one of the only one's left to get the push).
I think Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan would probably have helped cement Roman as a heel even further by having everybody get behind the Yes movement again, only for Reigns to quash it at Wrestlemania, but I guess Edge is next best. It looks good on paper, Spear vs Spear, and with Cristian back they can continue to play on the whole family and friends angle, but I'm not sure how good the Match will actually be though. Part of me even worries that come Wrestlemania, fans might even have soured on Edge with him being the old part timer, and how well Roman is doing with Heyman. I've not really got any interest in Drew McIntyre vs Edge though if I'm completely honest. I've not really got any interest in Drew McIntyre full stop, despite how much everybody else has. John Cena, perhaps?
The fact that the entire Men's Rumble centred around Randy Orton vs Edge just proved how seemingly average everybody else just seems.
The Last Man Standing Match was great though. Thoroughly enjoyed that, despite the fact that they unfortunately botched the finish to a degree with the handcuffs. It always gives me anxiety when handcuffs are used on Live TV, you'd have thought there would be a way around that sort of thing happening by now.
