Predictable but still the best man to win this. Really happy for Cody.

And Gunther making it to the final two was amazing, thanks Trips.

 

[Y2Jayne]

So Belair is dropping the belt one day right?

 

[Red Eyed Demon]

Very happy that Gunther had such a good showing at the Rumble. Wouldn't be surprised if he wins it next year.

Cody was the right choice though the predictable one so the ending didn't have to drag on for so long.

I reckon the women's Rumble was better and probably the best of the six so far. The right person won here as well and the new Asuka still came off looking strong.

The Bloodline stuff was pure gold.

Rhea'd better win this and get the belt at Mania

 

[Y2Jayne]

Wow they really wasted a spot on Dana

 

[Y2Jayne]

Did Rhea make B-Fab bleed??

 

[Y2Jayne]

Asuka's new theme is really good.

 

[Y2Jayne]

Chelsea Green

 

[Y2Jayne]

[Y2Jayne]

Daaaamn Raquel's lariat to Rhea was brutal as hell

 

[Y2Jayne]

OH FUCK NO THEY BROUGHT HER BACK

Had to tap out after the women's rumble match wich meant I was able to skip over that terrible music performance (thankfully)

Caught up with Owens/Roman now. Felt the match was ok but nothing special, but i guess it was just a placeholder for the aftermath which was amazing. I did feel it dragged a little bit, but was still a great thing to watch.

Creatively they're in a really interesting position now. Do they pull the trigger and do Sami/Reigns for Elimination chamber and then weave Cody into the story after that? or do they go down the route of having Reigns defend both titles at Mania? My personal preference is the latter with Sami on night 1 & Cody on night 2. Despite the story, i still don't believe there is a need for Zayn to become champ at the end of it (or just yet at least) But Reigns needs to lose at least one of the titles and closing Mania with Cody standing tall is just too obvious to pass up.

In anycase, i'm really interested to see how this whole thing develops now.

 

[Y2Jayne]

What a treat, we got Sami's betrayal before Mania. Such a great segment and such an amazing storyline this has been.

Jey too heartbroken to beat up Sami

 

[Y2Jayne]

I feel like they should have had Sammy bleed a little though
