Rhea eliminating Morgan was great

Rhea eliminating Morgan was great

Yeah but on Twitter from what I just saw, Beth Phoenix is not done with Rhea Ripley just yet

 

[Tg11]

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

I agree for more of a dramatic effect

 

[Tg11]

What they should do is this:

Reigns defends his titles separately at WrestleMania on 2 separate nights

- Night 1 defends the WWE Universal Championship against Sami Zayn

- Night 2 defends the WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes

 

[Sha-J Lee]

Yeah they def could split the title matches.

I think Sami/KO vs. The Usos for the Tag titles at Mania is the most logical outcome. This isn't as much about Roman and Sami as it is about Jey and Sami. Jey will help the Tribal Chief retain against Sami at Elimination Chamber and set up the Tag match for Mania while Roman meets Cody

Bingo, this seems like the most likely thing that will happen

Great show overall, seemed to run a bit longer than usual but the ending was a cinematic masterpiece. We're in the endgame now for The Bloodline I think

Didn't enjoy the Rumble matches as much as I usually do but can't put my finger on why at the moment.

As for the Sami/Roman thing...I don't see Roman defending before Mania now.

They'll pull some kind of shenanigans to strip Roman of one of the titles is my bet, perhaps down to his post match actions?

Cody battles whomever takes over the one title, then Sami wins the EC to get a shot at Roman?

Lots of possibilities on where they can take this so that is the best thing from a fan standpoint.

Just re-watched the Men's Rumble again this morning and it was just as fun as last night. Definitely one of those Rumbles I'll keep going back to over the years. Gunther is absolutely amazing, definitely seems like he's primed for a World Title run next year. It was insane how he didn't even look all that tired after being in there so long.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Asuka's new theme is really good.

Her theme and look last night was absolutely amazing

 

[Professor Booty]

Her old theme was a classic I’m really tired of changing of awesome themes

KO is amazing here for the little things, beaten and injured but you can still see the sadness in his eyes as he looks at Sami and because he was right all along…this angle is just amazing

Agreed, Booty. It's what make Owens so good for me, he's so good at the little things when it comes to telling a story and one of the best sellers on the roster too.

I would go for that
