True. How do you see his elimination playing out?

Honestly have no idea since I haven't been following WWE programming at all lately. I am planning to watch the Rumble because it was always my favorite PPV growing up, but I'm more excited for NXT tonight as usual.

Raws been pretty good as of late.

I just don't have the time to watch so many hours of anything these days, let alone mediocre wrestling.

That Cruiserweight title match was awesome, by the way.

I'm not watching World's Collide but I'll check out a few of the matches after it's on demand. Still don't understand why Lio wasn't in it. He and Angel had a banger in the match Angel won the belt.

DIY vs Mustache Mountain is about to start. Good chance of being an early MOTY candidate.

Man, Imperium vs Undisputed Era was fucking great. They did a great job of rebounding after Wolfe got legit knocked out and had to leave the match.

Actually I discovered that Dave & Busters in Westlake is showing the rumble, so I’m meeting some friends there tonight to watch it. Should be interesting

Brock will probably be eliminated by a returning Cain Velasquez

He should be eliminated by Matt Riddle

I also kind of gave up on WWE programming (minus NXT) after Brock won MITB, but I still follow along on the dirt sheets.

I agree Keith Lee winning would have been the best, but with him winning on Wednesday, that seems highly unlikely.

I wouldnt necessarily say Raw has been must watch. But it has been hitting it's stride lately.

If Cain Velasquez shows up he prolly gets booed out of the stadium. I understand why Vince wants these crossover part timers. But I think most wrestling fans despise them.

I think Keith Lee winning the Royal Rumble and using that as an opp at the NXT belt would legitimize it as a third brand and get rid of the concept as the minor league of WWE.

I went to a bar called Fox and Hound in Canton for a PPV once. It was the 2011 MITB. Cena/Punk post pipebomb. The place was packed and full of energy for the PPV. Hopefully D&B will have the same feeling. It was pretty awesome

Especially if they want to start beating AEW in the Wednesday night ratings.

That’s the only thing that has me holding out hope. That Vince wants to highlight NXT as much as possible.

I'm holding out hope that Vince is fully focused on the XFL.

Pleasantly surprised.

I don’t think it changes my anticipated Mania title matches, but I’m glad Drew got the win.

Also psyched to see Edge back. Looks like Orton vs Edge now.

Really happy with how theh booked the rumble. Brock looked like he was having a blast. Let some of the young guys get some offense in. I popped for his interaction with Shelton Benjamin and him dancing to MVPs music and when Keith Lee shows up he looked at Paul and was like "who is this mother fucker"

Great Royal Rumble.

Fuck Santino for stealing a spot from a deserved women challenger like Sasha or Io
