Live Royal Rumble Discussion Thread - Saturday February 1st 2025

I’m not going to claim that Jey Uso winning was a terrible call. Jey is over and he’s earned his flowers. But, that being said if he was gonna win the royal rumble maybe don’t have him lose to Gunther only a week or two ago.

I think thats the whole point tho. Him proving he can beat him

Pretty much the same angle they did with Sami and Gunther for the IC title

Which is fine
Gunther being the bench mark of unbeatable opponents and a special talent isn’t a bad call

Tbh Gunther is getting the Brock Lesnar booking, while not being a piece of shit. Dominant, kicks ass, wins 95% of the time, except for the 5% where he gets too cocky with himself and causes himself to lose.

 

[Cwalker]

And that’s exactly how he should be booked

Punk was so honed in on Roman and Seth he momentarily was distracted. They could turn around and use that to set up a match with Logan Paul for later on down the road (not Mania as Punk is gonna get Cody or Roman).

Yeah, I was saying the Seth, Roman and punk stuff right after it was so good that it made up for it. And now I don’t mind that Logan eliminated him as long as punk and Logan do not have a match at wrestlemania. The only two acceptable solutions are like you said either with Roman, which is what I thought originally was the plan or my preference now which is to get Cody in the title match.

I think Roman will more likely get Seth now. Which would be a great Mania match. We’ll finally payoff last year’s mania spot that cost Roman his title. And Seth will finally get his return after losing by disqualification at that Royal rumble before that.

Wait people were shitting on Nikki Bella being back? After the shit she went through with her ex? For shame

Definitely not me. I popped.

I figured it happened, though.

 

[Smart Marx]

I was definitely a Nikki detractor at one point around I would say maybe 2012 but by the time she retired, she definitely improved a lot and she earned my respect.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I know the only thing I said about Nikki was I’m not sure I would’ve gave her 30. But then it ended up not being the worst 30 of the night so, there’s that

Logan Paul for the first time ever made me cheer him. Killing Punk's main event dreams. A true babyface

Considering Jey is going to challenge Gunther, punk still has a chance to face Cody

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Man. The reaction when Logan eliminates him from the Chamber also.

 

[Dubb]

Will CM Punk attempt a buckshot lariat again if he faces Logan Paul one on one though?

Logan Paul you know what you must do. if you do it I will fall for one of your scams... I mean buy one of your "legit" crypto coins

OK now I want to see him fight Logan Paul.

If that happens, I might have to fly to Georgia and hurt you. DON’T put that evil into the world.
