FUCKING SAME

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I’ll probably watch this one.

Excited to see what they do with Brock and Roman.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Can Brock enter the Rumble? He seems like a free agent. No reason he couldn’t to face Roman.

He done it as champ before when he wasn’t even a Free Agent. So I’m sure he can

Obviously there's so many variables so it makes predicting anything impossible right now but here's what I wouldn't mind.

Brock staying on Raw and losing the title at Mania against Bobby. Paul and MVP battling it out on the mic could be top tier.

Next assumption being Roman is fine and Drew is fine then I would go with those two on the SmackDown side. If Drew isn't a lock for Mania then call me crazy but I would love to see Roman/AJ or you could quite easily do Roman/Seth given all the history and the interactions before Seth got moved to Raw.

I wouldn't ever say no to Roman and AJ battling it out again, they have insane chemistry. Perhaps still Roman's best matches honestly, and that's before he really hit his stride as a talent. AJ brought up the best in him.

Excited, this is my favorite PPV of the year!

Updated through Raw.

So the segment with Vince and Theory, did anybody else get the impression he's going to enter at #1?

Was absolutely shocked it wasn't said during the segment lol but I'm sure that's what they'll do still

 

[Dale]

Same, literally felt like Theory was expecting to get #30 but Vince was gonna say #1 instead.

Wouldn’t be surprised.

Vince’s whole thing has been telling him to “expect the unexpected”

 

[Y2Jayne]

I just watched SmackDown, I had no idea Summer Rae was coming back for the rumble

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Barry will be here for the ROYAL RUMBLE BABY!
