Wow... that's simply terrible news about Reigns. I hope he kicks cancers ass. I'll pop so hard for him when he returns.

HHH warming up in the bullpen to save the day!

WTF..can't believe they did that tonight

Yeah dean ambrose is heel shit getting real. Also **** cancer.

If you have WWE stock I'd sell today. Losing their biggest merch mover is bad enough, losing the blood oil money will really hurt.

Going to take a lot to reset Raw since the whole show was a vehicle to put him over. Company is a real mess right now.

Janela rules

Predictably, WWE is getting absolutely shat on for going ahead with the show. At least they were honest about why, I guess.

We all knew they'd do it, it's just to much money.

This show is an amazing trainwreck. It might have worse booking than Backlash did.

Forget Okada, Tanahashi, Omega, Styles, Jericho, WALTER...

Shane McMahon...BEST IN THE WORLD.

Triple H tore something in his arm.

Pretty sure that is a torn pectoral.

Triple H posted this on Facebook today. He said he's having surgery tomorrow.

Looks like another cursed Wrestlemania. First whatever they had for Roman Reigns and now Triple H-Batista is off the table and we're just getting into November.

<br />
<br />
I did that once. It's actually a relatively simple recovery if it was just the tendon ripping from the bone. WM is April 9th, so there's time to recover.

Say he has surgery to fix it today....that's about 4 to 6 weeks immobilized, then 12 weeks of rehab. I'd say the match is still doable.

Kelce and Hill in the crowd tonight.

LMAO Kelce looks like he's having the time of his life.

I thought about going, than I remembered that Raw is awful and it's a **** off show.

So Nia Jax broke Becky Lynchs face and she's out of Survivor Series, and we're more likely than not getting Bryan vs Lesnar. Bryan seems to be turning heel really soon.

Mean Gene just passed away

Angry hippie Daniel Bryan is such an amazing character.

When is Kevin Owens coming back?

Anyone watching the Rumble tonight?

Yarp. Only because there's supposed to be a legit surprise in the Royal Rumble apparently. (Not Omega)

I hope it's Kevin Owens. (No spoilers please)

This has been a good card thus far.

Outside of Becky Lynch, this has been a pretty lackluster PPV so far.

Basically a testament to a company that refuses to make mega stars. Becky had to make it herself because they wanted to bury her so hard for Charlotte.

The rest? Meh. A roster full of talent and little to show for it.

DB is doing well but it feels the SD title is still marginalized for part timer Brock.

The ****? Bryan, Rowan, and presumably Harper?

That is why I stopped watching WWE. The talent on the roster is probably the best it has ever been but they simply don't let the talent shine and feel out their own takes on their characters.

Where would the WWE be if they didn't let Austin be the pissed off angry redneck or Rock as the trash talking late 90s take on Mohammed Ali?

Kinda why they are brand over workers anymore. Don't want to get bent over a table anymore like the Rock, Austin and CM Punk did.

LMAO Brock has such weird faces.

So tired of Lesnar.

First PPV I’ve watched in months, nothing has changed with that title picture.

Seriously?

It's him until Reigns gets back. Think Strowman getting hurt ended any chance he had at winning the tilte, plus his awful at times promos and really poor wrestling.

LMAO Yes

https://i.redd.it/7r2z8w3y43d21.png

Oh god. That attire is ****ing horrific.

Dream scenario is Velveteen enters, wins, and challenges DBry at Mania.....yeah that ain't happening so I'm sure it'll be generic guy #100 like Rollins or Drew.

I'm sure we're still getting the 3 way with Ronda/Becky/Charlotte at Mania....Charlotte will claim ****ery and get put in the match.

It would be Black if it's anyone from NXT.

I think it could be both....or Ricochet.

Nah. Not Ricochet. He hasn't been there long enough. Although I'd have absolutely no problem with that.

Velveteen wants to take Lars spot in feuding with Cena so that could be his spot.

One of the few times the commentary isn't talking out of their collective asses. Anyone that hasn't seen the Andrade-Mysterio matches should do so ASAP.

LMAO King "nobody likes corbin"

Still 1 surprise left going by who was confirmed going in. Orton, Strowman, Truth, and Lashley are left.

Good lord. What a let down.

Doubt R Truth is actually #30.

Lol nope.

Nia? WTF

Well, that isn't who I was expecting.

It actually is Rollins. :/

It's really impressive how this crowd just died.

Welp, see ya at WM.

What a complete shitshow of a Rumble.....worst in a long time. Of course Seth wins lol....

FTR, rumor has it if they could have worked it out, The Rock was going to be involved.

LMAO Brock chucking the belt at Vince.

Way too predictable of a PPV from basically top to bottom.

Meh. It's the Royal Rumble. If it's not predictable, your storytelling really sucks, barring a surprise return from injury.

The PPV was fine.

5 hours of the main show is not. The crowd was dead for the last 2 hours. It's simply too much time.

Who's the better option?

Rollins has been the guy ever since Reigns announced his Leukemia. Just like Mysterio after Guerrero passed away.

Andrade....Ali...Black...anyone NEW, make someone a star tonight.

What are you talking about? LMAO

The Rumble is the best PPV to do swerves in. Having predictably is ok, but it has to be executed well. They missed the mark mostly tonight.

Jax taking a superkick, 619 and an RKO made my night

I think I'm the only human on the planet that could care less about Becky and she does nothing for me....now I have to endure 4 months of her and dippy Ronda...yay.

I thought having her tap clean to Asuka in the middle and then come in 29 at the Rumble somehow and win was cringeworthy...I know everyone else loved it though.

Becky's gimmick is nothing special. Comes down to more of she shoehorned her way into a scene they didn't want her to be in.

She's the protest to Vince's shit ass booking.

There were plenty of swerves tonight, but when it's all said and done your winners are going to be predictable.

She's a Conor cosplayer...could come up with 10 other women I'd rather have in her main event spot.

I got way too drunk and fell asleep during the womens rumble. Cant say im sad I missed this show

Nah. It was expected the SD tag titles would change hands and none of the world titles would flip.

Rollins and Becky Lynch were heavy favorites leading in and they telegraphed the Rollins one by doing Roman ****ery with him.

The only real surprise was Shinske taking back a title nobody gives a **** about and the total mess of Nia Jax.
Name them LMAO

I thought you meant in the Rumbles themselves. Yeah, the results were predictable as all hell, but its a Vince McMahon show. Depressing thought, but it's never going to change as long as he's around, no matter how much they want to bloviate about the "new era." I just know they better get their shit together ****ing quickly. New TV deals start in October, and it'd be a pretty bad look to get relegated to FS1 because of shit ratings so early into the deal.

Really wasn't a lot of shockers in entrees either, at least for the men. I was more surprised EC3 was nowhere to be found.

Figured it'd be a lot of nxt people since Takeover was last night. Feels like they had bigger plans for a shocker at 30 and it blew up on them.

I much prefer seeing the younger stars from NXT over nostalgia acts that can barely move. Anyone from the past or potential surprises that have the slightest bit of talent left is getting signed by other companies so that doesn't help either. We're most likely stuck with NXT one nighters and returns from injuries for the next few years.

I don't think so. I'm expecting more of them down the road as they will be more aggressive signing wrestlers away from AEW and wil have to likely concede more Day 1 main roster signings.

They better be more worried about their own guys wanting to go to AEW. Jericho said they gave him the richest deal of his career, and Vince McMahon wouldn't match it. The Khan family snd AEW actually have enough wealth to compete with WWE for talent., unlike TNA or ROH.

Even during the Attitude Era, the Royal Rumble was always the most boring PPV

Good luck with that, Jericho is a 50 year old part timer, would you pay him a shit ton of money?

It's really easy for AEW to spew that stuff about paying just as much money when they aren't even running yet. We'll see how long it takes of them taking major losses of money every quarter before the money marks had enough.

Not to mention WWE has already made comments to talent that raises are coming when they move to Fox.

LMAO You might have a point if most of the biggest stars nowadays for the WWE weren't ancient part timers as well.

Seriously, who was the last superstar they made that actually sustained it? ****ing Cena? Guys like Reigns, Rollins, Strowman, Styles, and Bryan were either failures from the get go or sputtered out.

The closest they've got right now is Becky Lynch, and they had to be drug on their hands and feet kicking and screaming to get it this far.

Like I said earlier, they'd better get their shit straightened out before they move to FOX or they'll be dead on arrival.

Jericho is a 50 year old part-timer that is still capable of putting on 5-star matches, like he did at Wrestle Kingdom with Naito. AEW's roster so far is pretty damn good and if they can get an agreement worked out with Omega and/or Ibushi then it gets even better. One good thing for WWE fans is that The Revival may finally get a good push because if they don't, they are damn sure leaving for AEW once their contracts are up.

Predictably, NXT Takeover was about 10,000 times better than the Royal Rumble. The tag title match was amazing and Gargano v Ricochet and Ciammpa v Black were off the charts.

Given what happened right after the show, they may be looking to do Elimination Chamber at WM Takeover with Cole, Velveteen Dream, Black, Ricochet, Gargano and Ciammpa.
