Don't have much experience watching Cody and seeing him speak at the royal rumble press conference he seems like a really genuine dude 👍

Really hope Cody gets the clean pin at Mania on Reigns and has a long title run.

You all took the words right out of mouth. This Sami/Bloodline and KO story has been one of the best storylines I've seen in years. I don't think I've got chills from an angle like that in forever. I know Cody won the Rumble, but after this whole Sami Zayn Honorary Uce/Bloodline storyline and how massively over it has gotten, I can't think of a more satisfying payoff than for Sami to be the one to beat Roman for the titles at Mania. You have to strike while the iron is hot and it's seems like it won't be any hotter than at this moment. But I digress. Going by the story, I'm thinking they're setting up Sami and KO to be the ones to take the tag titles off the Usos somewhere down the line. KO and Sami will rekindle their friendship somewhere along the way while Jey is still being an emotional wreck because he looked at Sami like his brother, but at the end of the day, he still keeps his loyalty the bloodline. This will make the feud more intense imo.

I guess the real question is, if Cody does win and does beat Roman, will they let him do what he said he wants to and bring back the Winged Eagle design?

Honestly, Sami and Owens vs Usos should main event night 1, I'm 100% convinced of that now. Rhea is fantastic, but unless something drastic happens, I can't see any Women's match worthy of a main event spot at Wrestlemania this year. The Bloodline vs Sami and KO has the potential to be legendary and worthy of a first time ever tag title Wrestlemania main event, and outwith a handful of top names, the Women's division has probably been Triple H's biggest downfall in terms of booking tbh.

One thing it’s great for Cody yeah he deserves to be a champ and have he’s tittle that he’s father never one. Two in my opinion yes he has improved but to me he’s first run Was mmm interesting what he gonna leave come back and say yeah let’s give him the tittle But Sami zayn I think a build like this he must win the title

Only match I can see main eventing night one over Sami&KO/Usos would be Rollins/Logan(if we get that)but Sami definitely deserves main eventing night one if he can't be the one to dethrone Roman.
Just a amazing night,both Rumbles(mens is in my top 3 All Time)and everything with the main event was perfect.
Loved seeing dark Asuka,Rok C getting her first Rumble appearance,Piper got her name back, that final 3 apron spot and Rhea GD Ripley getting her moment. Hoping she takes the title from Bianca and Asuka gets her win from Charlotte at Mania. One bad thing is,Nia's back
Mens Rumble is in my top 3,just flew by with so many amazing spots. GUNTHER is a made man after tonight,Logan/Ric spot was done to perfection and Cody Rhodes getting ready to make his dream come true at Mania.
Pitch Black and Raw women's title was rough to get thru but the rest of the show more then made up for it

Awesome show! Wins going to the right people and setting up what's gonna be a fantastic Wrestlemania.
My only gripe is the pitch black match. At this point I feel like Wyatt is in the sweet spot of no one knows wtf is going on but there's enough interest generated to keep you watching (like the early seasons of Lost) how ever his pay off matches are just a gimmick to shift merchandise, the amount of people creaming for a glow in the dark playset based off of a 10 minute match is insane.

While I haven’t watched the WWE on the regular for years, I always make it a point to catch the Rumble and WM, and I gotta say HHH nailed the show last night. Best overall Rumble in years and so many stories/great moments.
Cody winning was a great feel-good moment, and having watched his entire-pro career to this point from teaming with Bob Holly, Legacy, dashing Cody, teaming with Sandow and his brother, Stardust, leaving and becoming an even bigger name around the globe, helping to start AEW, his big return last year, and finally to now, it’s great to see him get to due and main event WM. The man took a huge gamble, bet on himself, and hit the jackpot.
But…Sami Zayn has thrown a huge wretch in this whole thing with this amazing run/story he’s on. With this literally being a year in the making, and with how over he is with the fans, it sounds crazy to say he won’t be in the world title plans at this point. Things can easily change, but as of now will fans accept him tagging with Owens and going after the tag belts rather than the world title? Cody more than earned this spot, but it’ll be interesting to see if Sami weaves himself further into this story or if his destiny remains with Owens and the Usos..

If Sami/KO face the Usos, I really hope they let Sami bring out the BRAINBUSTAAAAH!!! I was shocked when Jordan Devlin busted one out on Ilja Dragunov on a random NXT UK show last year

As over as he is, Sami just doesn't strike me as the one to dethrone Roman. Him and Owens should obviously win the titles the first night of Wrestlemania then he should cost Roman the title the next night.

I actually watched and enjoyed the show. The only thing that I’ll say different is that I don’t think Sami should be the one to beat Reigns. He’d be a short-term champion and Cody is a face of the company type. That’s who you use Reigns to christen, not someone who will have lost it by Summerslam, despite it being a good story. The Kevin and Sami show is better in the long run.

Decent show but overall kinda underwhelming considering the rumors that were floating around of Rock and Austin etc. Cody is still a midcarder in my eyes. Gunther should have won that, way more compelling of a character and wrestler than Cody honestly. Rhea winning from 1 was lazy. Michelle McCool really gotta stop showing up to these events. Bring back the other LayCool member for once. Bray Wyatt has overstayed his welcome. That match sucked.

The men's Rumble was probably one of the best worked Rumbles ever. Top ten for sure. Women's was crap as usual except for the final three.

Really enjoyed the show, mens rumble and main event were some of the best stuff I have seen in ages.
However, the commentary is just beyond bad. I freaking hate Michael Cole and Pat mCafe's schtick. The opening minutes of the show where Cole and his forced excitement were there was just the worst way to kick the show off for me. I know we all have different things we like and do not like, but Michael Cole on commentary is one thing I just do not see how anyone can like.

Pat made everything 10x better for me tonight,so glad hes back. Him and Cole is perfect together personally.
