WWE Royal Rumble (2020) Discussion Thread

Why wouldn't whoever wins get a title shot like usual? That's what I assumed happened even if Brock wins, he would just automatically get the WWE Champion, where if anyone else won then they would get to pick between the belts like usual. I think you're overthinking it a tad lol

I don't know, I'm confused lol. WWE didn't explain it very well.

I just think it's dumb Brock's even in it tbh. I hate him and was looking forward to a match without him but nope I can't get that lol.

It’s business as usual. If anyone but Brock wins, they get a title shot.

If Brock wins I’m assuming there’d be a unification match but I think the likeliness of that is less than 1%.

I think it’ll be what was brought up earlier. Brock will run rampant in the early part of the match and eventually someone will come along and eliminate him setting up a WM title match.

 

[Mox Girl]

I kinda hope that the person who eliminates Brock is Drew McIntyre. I doubt it, but a girl can dream

Thing that worries me is that’s theres nobody on that Raw roster that’s a big enough name to face Brock at Mania and have it draw interest from the casual fan.

Which is troubling because WWE might bring Cain back in or have Tyson Fury work Brock at Mania.

What's wrong with Cain Velasquez?

He's legit and from what I read he's one of the hardest workers at the PC.

If he gets pro wrestling like he did MMA.....he'd be great by his 3rd match.

In that scenario I'd be in favor of Brock somehow dropping the belt between the Rumble and Mania. He can still have his match with Cain or Tyson Fury, but let there be a good, competitive match for the WWE Championship between two actual wrestlers.

Let’s be realistic. That belt isn’t goin anywhere before Mania.

Crazier things have happened, but no, you're probably right.

Still would be my preference for Brock to not defend the title against one of those guys.

Brock beat him already. In 2 minutes. If it was their first wrestling match then there’s something. They could’ve told the story that they told in November as they were build towards Mania.

But now, Brock has exercised that demon. Cain is no longer his “kryptonite”

That would be great, but it's not going to happen lol. I'll be very surprised if Brock even defends the title before Mania

Brock acted like a veteran taking advantage of a newcomers exuberance.....much like how Frank Mir beat Lesnar in his first UFC fight.

Easy storytelling on how the loss Is eating away at him and he's been doing nothing but training to heat Brock and what better way to heat him then at the grandest stage of em all?

Idk what y'all are talking about it's obvious Brock is about to eliminate all 29 other men

Gonna do what Roman should've done 4 years ago

That 'leaked' card is fucking hot shit lmfao, just absolutely awful.

I am second guessing it's authenticity as Florida wasn't even spelled correctly, but, if it really is the real thing, wow, I'll start tuning in when the rumble starts.

 

[Chris]

Added Reigns/Corbin, both guys are still gonna be in the Rumble match as well.
