Live Royal Rumble Discussion Thread - Saturday February 1st 2025

To avoid being completely negative I am still very happy with the booking of Roxanne. With her coming in third lasting all the way to the final two, got a lot of really good spots. She looked great even though she lost.

 

[OsBlaze]

I’ll give her some credit if she at least puts over the next big thing.

Like she should’ve did the first time with Ripley.

You’ll be glad to know, even the biggest Charlotte defenders here agree she needs to put Tiff over

She’s also the new record holder for longest time in the Rumble

Like if she had half the title reigns she has right now, it would probably be better. Like I won’t deny she’s great in the ring and everything. But like she’s shoved down our throats way to much

It’s not even the amount of time she was champion. It’s the inability to step aside for someone else for even just a minute. Like I wouldn’t mind if she won the belt as many times she’s currently had if half of them weren’t winning the title back a week after dropping it to Sasha Banks. Like you couldn’t let Sasha Banks have one three-month run with the belt before getting it back?

Oh shit, really? I didn’t hear that. That’s awesome.

That’s one of the things I was telling my dad last night. How she she the title just to win it right back to pad her numbers, and step on everyone else while doing it

 

[Ricky Smarks]

That’s awesome to see Kurt’s daughter get to hold his gold medals tonight

 

[OsBlaze]

Oh shit, really? I didn’t hear that. That’s awesome.

Yeah, well womens one anyway she beat the record Bayley set last year, so I’m a little sad myself as Bayley didn’t hold it long. But her winning last year makes it not hurt as bad

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Oh, look it’s Drew mac & cheese.

Who I’ve been spoiled on how he got eliminated because of that thread.

Bayley, I think is already established and this will help Roxanne a lot more.

Yeah, like Rox has that, for now anyway. I swear the record has been set 3 years in a row now

 

[Ricky Smarks]

This DIY theme surprisingly kind of bangs.

It reminds me of the undisputed era’s theme.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I also think Kevin hates himself.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Seeing the package pile driver in WWE was surreal.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Ladder matches should really be reserved for matches like this when they can really be made to feel important. The natural conclusion to an unending rivalry with shady officiating and cheating galore. There’s only one way to settle it… with steel and no refs.
