I didn’t know Sami was out so it did nothing for me.

Oh I agree but I also feel the ending half is far more important. Which is why I would give the women’s the edge for a 4.5 and I’ll give the men’s at 4 or a 4.25.

One thing I add to the start would be more stuff between the Usos. They started 1 and 2, and I don’t think they did enough with that to justify it tbh. One of them definitely should have been who eliminated the other tbh. The way the match played out they didn’t even need to start 1 and 2, as it was a non factor basically.

Yeah McIntyre took him out maybe a month or 2 ago, wasn’t like he was gone super long.

Always cool to see him back though. There are rumors circulating he may be in the World Title Match come Mania

Jey should’ve made it to the Final 5 and an eliminated Jimmy comes back to screw him.

Sets up the Mania match

This isn’t a prediction. It’s a spoiler.

Problem with the guys Rumble was that the top 4 guys all entered in the second half. You had Jey out first, then it was basically midcarders all the way up to Cody & Gunther at 15 & 18 then it kinda slowed again until Punk & Drew at 27 & 29.

The Womens just seemed to pace better. Naomi back straight away at #2, crowd favourite Bayley at #3, Jordynne surprise at #5. The other bigger names seemed to follow at decent intervals then you had the spike at the end with Jade/Tiffany/Liv one after another.

One thing the mens did better was letting Cody & Punk spend time together as the final two whereas the womens basically followed the same formula as last years.

Liv runner up 2 years in a row means she wins next year! locking that prediction in now.

Jade somewhere right now

Jade somewhere right now

What, don’t think she will already be the champ?

Think BAE-anca will be Champ and that’s how we get that match

 

[Hidden Blaze]

We getting that this year

 

[Cwalker]

We getting that this year

Well then she’s winning next years Rumble and challenging a healthy Queen

 

[Crocker]

fucking sexist ass ratings

He always lowballs the women.

Don’t doubt me on Liv winning next year. I called Bayley back in September(funny enough in a thread about Jade, where people said she win this one…) and as far as I know, no reports had came out saying she was the favorite.

I definitely think he lowballed the women’s, but I’ll defend Dave on the men’s.
