Pretty hyped tbh, think the men's rumble has a few possible winners that I'd enjoy

2 things I’m looking forward to most:

1. Surprise entrants
2. Kofi’s annual save himself spot

I'm looking forward to what the reaction te neckbeards will give AJ Styles after he went on an alleged "white supremacist" podcast and said something on the Gillette commercial.

My take on the Raw side of things:

Balor def Lesnar via interference from Strowman to win the title.
Rollins wins the Rumble.

Elimination Chamber sees Balor defend against Lesnar, Strowman, Cena, McIntyre, random other person. Strowman and Lesnar start and beat the holy hell out of each other for 5 minutes and end up knocked down on the mat for Balor to enter the match and to Coup de Grace both and eliminate both. Balor ends up winning the match.

Sets up Lesnar and Strowman Wrestlemania.
Balor defends against Royal Rumble winner Rollins.
Cena faces McIntyre.

Balor beating Brock would be the most surprising thing this company has done since ending the streak

You’re right; I’m not saying it’s a wrong move.

I’m just saying I’d be surprised

It's a solid card but I'm not sure its much more than that. My guess is they are building to Ronda against Asuka Champion VS. Champion match at Mania. I would prefer them to do that than another multi-women's match.

Hopefully the rumble delivers some good entertainment. As a causal fan of the current product its one of the few shows a year I tune in for.

Here's quite an interesting predictions video from WWW

That geek muted me after he couldn't come up with a decent reply to why comparing having babies and punching the opposite sex wasn't the same thing when he tried bringing up Fallon Fox again over Rousey's comments about people talking about her baby maker.
