Who the hell is going to be in the Rumble as a suprise if you're announcing straight up Cody's return?

 

[Dale]

Austin? Rock? Cena?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

probably just Rock if I had to bet

 

[John McHenry]

Austin? Rock? Cena?

You know I was going to point at you and laugh but then I found legit reasons for 2 of them. And Austin I think he got the bug again so all viable. Rock only chance of winning from them. Also lol edge.

 

[Dale]

2023 and you can come up with viable reasons for all 3 being in the Rumble, what a timeline.

 

[Dale]

I mean fuck, there's a very real possibility of Brock being in it too.

 

[Chris]

Craziest part is Cena feels like the long shot out of the 3 just cause I thought I read he'd be booked up filming until right before Mania lmao

And I actually feel like 1 is likely, probably not anymore but thats wild

 

[Dale]

Yeah I wouldn't be confident on Cena at all, but I felt like it would be a relatively safe environment for him plus if you had Theory eliminate him, you've got the seeds planted for WrestleMania for Theory to run with over the next couple of weeks when Cena apparently wouldn't be available.

 

[Dale]

@Chris in shambles​

 

[Chris]

Thats actually a really cool reason tho, congrats to him

 

[Sabretooth]

I really don’t think Austin is gonna be in the rumble cause he wouldn’t return not to win.

 

[Sabretooth]

And I’m actually glad they’re only bringing back a small group of legends. Leads me to believe they’re actually gonna do something worthwhile. Unlike with Vince who would just bring back everyone and their mother to participate in random backstage segments and wave to the crowd.

 

[Dale]

I mean i'm almost positive there's gonna be a slew of other legends there aswell that are just gonna do the exact same thing you mentioned.
