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

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. |

![]() 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. |

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. |

I think that's just step 1 of the process. They are going to be running head to head against the ROH/NJPW supershow at MSG for that Takeover so they need something big. Elimination chamber works perfect for that and they have 6 guys that all make perfect sense.

Eh. They're probably not TOO worried about that. Both shows will sell out. I'd like to see that match but they'd probably just run it at the Elimination Chamber PPV if it's on the table.

Yeah that weekend it's easy to sell out everywhere. I was thinking more about streaming demand but with the on demand nature it's not a huge deal. I still think Vince will want to have the best show regardless. I read stories about AEW shirts being forbidden at the Rumble (at least on camera), not sure if true or not.

Lacey Evans should still be in NXT. I imagine the conversation with Vince going like this. "Kairi Sane? We've already got Asuka, pally. Shayna Baszler?!? She's just like Rousey!!! Get me a hot tall blonde with big boobs, DAMMIT!!!!!!"
