I know some are saying the Steiner stuff was suppose to be for Lesnar but I dont think it was. I think Steiner is ready to break out and be a big star. Also, love the dig by Triple H to Khan What dig?

Largely underwhelming for me in the end. Thought if they're going with Roman vs Cody Rhodes II, they'd be a lot better off having Punk win the Rumble and then Cody going the HBK route of desperation and entering himself in the Chamber as his last chance. The way they went with Cody and Punk right until the end almost seemed as though that's your preview of the two Wrestlemania winners, both finishing their stories.
I guess though, if they know they're not doing Roman vs Rock, they're best off shutting down that talk as soon as they can, hence Cody winning now. Rock helps Rhodes win at Wrestlemania, starting the year build to Roman vs Rock I suppose, though I do worry that by the time they finally pull the trigger on Rock vs Roman, the ship will have sailed and nobody will care as much since it's so long overdue.

Not a fan of that men's rumble actually. It was okay, but very forgetable, no big moments, no big returns, no legends. Meh. Not a Cody guy either so him winning does nothing for me. Also hilariously obvious that Pat McAfee got Brock Lesnar's spot in the rumble, giant guys in the ring, that was Brock's time. Overall, a decent show I thought. But they gotta get the memo, legends are more fun to see than JD Mcsomethingirish Agree. I have no idea who 80 percent of the guys in the Rumble were and I sure as hell knew that none of them had a shot at winning the Rumble. I did pop for Bron Breakker though. He's refreshing and explosive. Like you, I can't remember any spots or anything memorable for this Rumble. It's to the point where I forgot that Kofi is still wrestling. So you had no idea who any of the guys who have been featured on WWE programming and have been around for years are But you knew who Bron Breakker was? Lmao

Would it be too much to ask to never have any wrestler point at the WrestleMania sign?

Next year call the ppv the”Royal Laydown and wait for someone to get their spot in” Sad what has become of this majestic event.
I’ll work on my rules for next year and hopefully someone at wwe will take my advice. Until next year…

Cody keeps going 'round that hamster wheel. No extra heat, no extra incentive, no this time it's 1v1. Not a single goddamn inch of progression in the story. 12 months apart, happy-go-lucky and no care in the hugging world. Just a book saying "Cody wins" instead of "Cody loses". But yeah. Greatest Rumble Evah!! You mad?

I’m a Steiner fan and knows who Rick’s son is. Especially since he was the one to announce them into the Hall. But I have no clue to 90% of NXT’s roster. I know more of the main roster, but if they’ve come up over the last year or two I really don’t know them. Because I record The weekly shows and only fast forward and watch certain wrestlers. So yeah I can easily see him knowing Bron and not much more of the current roster. Punk, McIntyre, Gunther, Nakamura, and who else for the Chamber? I can see Orton

Cody Rhodes IS NOT finishing his story. He will have to wait one more year. Roman is breaking Hogan's record. Roman has to finish HIS story first

Overall good show, much moreso in the first half.
Women’s Rumble was the highlight for me. It was very sloppy in a lot of places, with people trying to do complicated moves they couldn’t really do, but it kept moving along and had some nice moments and stories in there. Nia Jax was the MVP and perfectly set up Jade Cargill’s appearance. Bayley winning puts some intriguing questions for the coming shows. Not a Naomi fan but it was nice seeing her return and how much the moment meant to her. Liv Morgan returning adds some star power to the roster too, although again, not a fan.
The US title match was really good. Logan Paul always brings that big fight aura with him, and Kevin Owens is the perfect opponent. I’d be happy to see this one again at Elimination Chamber. I loved Logan Paul shouting at Corey Graves for saying nobody could superplex Owens, and then immediately failing to superplex Owens.
WWE title match was… just there. I checked the thread while watching it and thought someone summed it up well about it being the least interesting title defence of Roman’s reign. Randy Orton’s return really stalled LA Knight’s momentum a bit and the 4-way build diluted both of them. The match itself was pretty solid by the end, but it never fully grabbed me.
Men’s Rumble match was alright. A lot less sloppy than the women’s (although still sloppy in places), but it felt very run of the mill. Because of the brand-switching required, it’s always seemed obvious that Cody had to win this. Which is fine, it’s what makes sense. Best part of the match for me was Bron Breakker. I don’t like that so many people do the spear - Lashley “hit” a stinker of one on Dominik in this very match - but damn, Bron is a killer with them. Possibly the only big standout performance of the match. He’d be my pick now to face Gunther at Mania.

Cargill for taking out Becky!! Seriously, the mens rumble was alright. See that didn’t come across to me. Even when they called it I thought it was Naomi’s feet that knocked her off the apron not Cargill. At least that’s what I saw. Naomi’s feet hitting Becky in the back of the head.

Bron vs. Gunther at Mania is the move.
