Harper needs some more seasoning in my opinion. Plus he has a nice thing going being part of Bray Wyatt (formerly known as Husky Harris) psycho redneck stable on NXT. Out of the guys in the video Kruger and O'Brien are the most main roster ready. Neville could out wrestle most guys and flies like nobody else but could use some more time in NXT just to learn to talk.

Yeah, Harper is pretty badass.

Also, I know O'Brien is part of the uppercard NXT, but what is his gimmick anyway?

And Kruger is also pretty badass. That accent would be a nice thing to hear on RAW.

Vampire/demon thing or something. Supernatural it seems.

Dallas and Kruger won their matches as well and qualify for the battle royale later.

Also: Steen made a promise if Neville would get in the rumble.

Do it Kevin, do it.

@Rain @seabs I think you would find this funny.

Crayo's rejoicing somewhere in Cornwall, Conor O'Brien's in. When will this battle royale be held?

Later tonight I think. Hopefully they will film it and put it on WWE.com at least. Or they bump the US title match up the card and makes the BR the preshow.

Would be a great last-minute Royal Rumble hype video, and would sell many more buys than Cesaro-Miz... Even if the casuals have never heard of these guys, they could talk up how crazy it woudl be "with 30 of the biggest superstars in all of the WWE". Why not?

I see it the same way you did. Apparently the original pre show plans were to have a BR with a mix of NXT stars and lower carders but they decided to put Cesaro and Miz there due to the momentum their feud is slowly picking up. But I see no reason that they cannot bump the US title up on the card as an opening match since the IC title isn't on the card and use the BR as the preshow.

Kruger just eliminated Neville. Not sure how I should feel about this.

Bleh... that's pretty much the worst possible outcome.
Don't see anything in either of those guys... well, Dallas can improve, but he's not there yet.

I see major potential and improvement in Kruger after his gimmick change. Dallas should go away and never come back. Okay ring skills, no mic skills and no charisma. Sadly Big Show is high on Dallas.

I can see why, he possesses similar character traits to Big Show. Always frustrating how people get pushed because of who they know instead of what they know. SMH.

To rephrase my thoughts on Dallas, he has potential but is nowhere close to being ready for TV. Haven't seen Kruger's new gimmick outside of when Baretta carried him, but hey, if Jinder Mahal can become watchable, so can Kruger I guess. But Mahal at least had a decent gimmick pre-3MB, didn't see anything in Kruger.
