SmackDown Live #SDLIVE thread, Jan. 8, 2019: Who will challenge Asuka at Royal Rumble?

[Chris]

I think this just makes it where Charlotte will win the Rumble and Becky will work her way into the match, obviously after losing to Asuka somehow. They've had so many triple threats with Rumble winners already that it won't be hard to book it. Personally I wanted Becky to win the Rumble and have Charlotte work her way into it but it's whatever, but I really hope they go with the three way and not just the Ronda/Charlotte rematch.

 

[Deezy]

I hate every and all 3 ways involving te rumble winner......This is why nothing means anything.

 

[Chris]

Eh the only one I really thought was dumb was when Cena "cashed in" his Rumble win early at No Way Out and then still got a shot at 'Mania

 

[Deezy]

Too many 3 ways.

Should just call the show Wrestle3Waynia

 

[Chris]

Don't worry, we'll get another McMahon in every corner 4-way this year with HHH replacing Linda

The Rumble winner ending up in a 3 way for the belt usually results in a good match it’s just the convoluted way they end up getting there that’s a fuckin mess.

I think it’s happened 3 times(Benoit, Cena, and Reigns) and the only good story was Rollins cashing in to make it a 3 way at 31.

Happened with Rey too, Orton got into the match by saying Eddie was in hell or some shit. I wouldn't really count the Reigns one tho since it's a cash in.

EDIT: Forgot about Bryan getting in after Batista won as well with the Occupy Raw thing, but having him beat HHH earlier in the night was pretty cool too.

 

[Cwalker]

I actually forgot all about Rey, probably cause all of his world title runs/main event pushes were duds

 

[Crippler]

He did have that fire SD main event against Orton, that one time.

 

[Cwalker]

He had his moments. I thought that match on Raw where he dropped the belt to Cena in 2011 was good

But for the most part, his runs weren’t good. 1st one he was killed every week. 2nd one was a transitional run where he became an afterthought in the Kane/Taker feud. And the 3rd one lasted an hour
