WWE Royal Rumble, Sunday 2nd February 2025, 10am AEDT on Netflix (Countdown 8am on Youtube)

Questions.

What did SZ come out to do nothing? KO couldn't continue messing up the planned finish or SZ interference?

Drew went off back stage what happened?

How do they get Roman Punk and Rollins all into a match with Cody?

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

I just re-watched the stomp on Reigns right after elimination. That's scary lookin

Yeah those stomps looked nasty. Reckon Reigns stays out to cost Rollins the chamber

 

[Chezzalenko Reborn]

Looking back it looks like Rollins might have lost a bit of balance in that very last seconds, leading to his foot coming down closer, both feet landing on the head.

There was so much going on at the time that I didn’t comment on it, but yes that looked brutal!

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

How do they get Rollins Punk and Rollins all into a match with Cody?

It’s mind numbing even trying to predict this road to WrestleMania with all the intertwining stories with so many characters involved.

Perhaps Punk wins the chamber, calls in a favour even, and somehow gets the match with Cody at WrestleMania.

I think I’d rather singles matches than a triple threat or fatal 4 way.

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

Off to AEW?

Firstly don’t believe most of what you read on the internet regarding wrestling. That’s becoming ever so evident recently.

Secondly, if it’s true it’s likely all a work.

Thirdly, and with all due respect to AEW, you’d have to be insane to leave the main event scene of WWE to head there, especially as a big man.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Charlotte the rightful winner, whatever anyone says.

Nope.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Now that the Royal Rumble's done for another year, I guess Jey's opening the show with a promo.

Not that I'll be home to watch it live but I'll read the happenings here on Tuesday.

 

[royboy2]

Since when were we claiming Jax?

She was born in Sydney and they did a whole thing with her family before Elimination Chamber in Perth, but yeah has always been billed as from San Diego

 

[AFDogs]

Fun show.

Internet nerds need to relax when their favourite wrestler doesn’t win.

Appreciated WWE trying something different with Jey.

 

[MadMundy]

The crowd are into Jey, you can tell how badly they want him to be champ too, the crowds have wanted Jey as World Champ for a long time, they've never had a better time to pull the trigger. This is what people want.

I still see it as:

• Uso vs Gunther
• Rhodes vs Cena
• Punk vs Reigns
• Owens vs Orton
• Stratton vs Flair
• Ripley vs Sky

As my locks for WM.

 

[Ry009]

Reckon the story will be Charlotte wants her win back from Rhea at Mania 39 IMO.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Since when were we claiming Jax?

I don't think we are, i think she is. With all the politics going on in the US, there would be a lot of people distancing themselves from.being american

 

[Raveneyes]

Easily one of the worst Rumble Events in recent memory. Maybe history.

That women's rumble may be the worst one they've done so far. The ring was constantly overcrowded with wrestlers ignoring the cardinal rule of not wrestling hard cam side near the ropes, blocking all the shots of the new superstars getting their shit in.
Highlight, Alexa's return, that pop was HUGE.
#LOLCharlotteWins. what the actual ****.

Massive call giving the rumble win to a guy who can't piece together a decent singles match that doesn't devolve into 42 super kicks. Chasing the catch phrase popularity and kids vote.
Only positive is not giving it to the super obvious picks just to further a story.

Nope.

Would genuinely like to hear how you would book the Women's Rumble winner and subsequent WM women's title matches.

Charlotte the right choice IMO for WM. Yes others are better wrestlers, and some need a push, but there is no other name with the clout to sell a WM title match than Charlotte.

This is probably to the WWE's detriment that, other than Rhea, they haven't built any other woman to her level.
RR this year was not the right time to start, especially when you're already doing that with Jey in the Men's RR.

Reckon the story will be Charlotte wants her win back from Rhea at Mania 39 IMO.

Can't think of a better match-up for Rhea. No reason they shouldn't do this again.

Where do you have Rollins?

Gotta be Flair Stratton IMO. Flair vs Flair 2.0.

Charlotte and Rhea had one of the greatest women's matches of all time 2 years ago and I reckon she could do similar with Tiffy and make another huge star.

 

[BEEG]

I'm no Charlotte fan but it was the right choice.

Charlotte vs Tiffany could tear the house down.

We know who he is challenging.
Charlotte vs Tiffany?
Triple threat between Roman Seth and punk?
Cody vs cena?
Rhea vs Becky I'm assuming

Yep, would be happy with this as well.

WWE has time to decide (or change plans), but either match would be fantastic IMO.

 

[Blackhawk42]

One of the best rumble matches ever.

One of the worst winners ever.

Uso is trash. He's an entrance and nothing more.

I'll vomit if he main events either night and Punk doesn't.

 

[JP Sauce]

If they go with the fans and make Tiffy a proper face and Charlotte heel that build will be incredible.

Meanwhile Rhea could face any one of Iyo, a returning Becky (or Asuka), Jax or Liv - less excited about the last two haha

 

[Raveneyes]

Jey gets his WM title match. I don't mind it.
But we've missed the chance to go big with Gunther. Look at his title defences.



Other than Orton, where are the big names?
Perfect chance for a Rollins or Punk match. They could've been classics.

Or maybe there's another swerve from WWE, and Jey is going after Cody instead?!
Set up a revenge angle for Roman and the Bloodline. I'm sure it's on a whiteboard or mind-map somewhere.

 

[Blackhawk42]

I'm not going to post it here, but part of Ishowspeeds calf got ripped off during the match. It looks like raw hamburger meat, awful.

I literally had only heard of the guy from when GWS had him at training and were spruiking it like he was some big deal.

Still no idea if he's an athlete, a gamer or a youtuber.

Credit where it's due though, because that entire section of the Rumble was absolutely incredible. He took that spear like a champ.

 

[nobbyiscool]

You just compared 2 wrongs to justify your own position... one thats much more absurd since you compared rape with white collar crimes

Im comparing 2 white collar criminals. If we are going through this scenario Logan Paul looks like Mother Teresa in comparison to the shadyness of the Khan family

You'll have to tell us exactly where the line is and make sure everyone in the world is across it.
