Royal Rumble rumours thread

[Chris]

yeah and I think the bloodline stuff wasnt as hot in the past either, the stars are all aligned here so I do think its now or never

I think it was always now or never here tbh just works even better with the current incarnation of the Bloodline and they've managed to stretch Roman's reign this far which was a big question people had about it say a year ago when we were talking about it

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Appearing as slashed prices on mine. People stretching isn't beyond them.

Yeah another thing that caught my eyes. It would be odd as fuck to release new stuff and slash the price. Could be a sells tactic also. Make people think they are getting it cheaper and sell more product.

 

[Comrade Khan]

which then goes back to the two possible hurdles - ring shape and XFL launch - both which theoretically could be arranged, but it makes sense if wwe want an answer soon

Can we all come to the general agreement that if Roman/Rock doesn’t happen at Mania this year, it’s probably never gonna happen?

 

[Chris]

Also kinda a sidestep but would you guys dislike Roman facing Rock one night and anyone else another night like Cody or even Sami? I keep seeing people on Twitter say thats bad and would take away from both Rock and the challengers moment but like I 100% disagree lol I don't care what night is which but Roman losing the actual titles to a hot act and still facing Rock would be amazing to me lol I would have 0 complaints

id be more disappointed if he didn't. no reason he can't do two matches when his schedule is already light

I’ve been a big proponent of that idea. Roman drops the belt to Cody night one. This way the match with Rock isn’t for the title and is somewhat less predictable

 

[Brandon Blaze]

this is really who’s coming back at Mania. Who beats his ass this year after being eliminated by him

 

[Chris]

Yeah this is what I think would be most likely in the scenario too, wouldn't even really matter if Rock or Roman won in this case and I don't think doing it the next night would overshadow Cody at all. Roman should still win but I'd not really care if they put Rock over, Cody would have already broken the long pin streak

 

[Comrade Khan]

at this point I just think it should be Sami and not Cody. It's unlikely they change their plans but I think they should conclude the story and cody doesnt fit in romans story anymore

I still feel it be predictable. I mean he COULD, but I don’t see Roman losing two nights in a row after being unbeatable so long.

I don’t know if I’d beat Roman twice in a row like that, but him losing to both guys and the Championship run being over would be reason enough for him to disappear from television for a little bit

I still think KO and Sammy winning the tag belts off Usos is the story there but at this point I'm less sure with how fucking over Sami has gotten

Rumours of the WWE belt being stripped post-Rumble (from several sources) so that spanners the duel duty plans, if it's even true
