It has not been years since we saw Christian. He was there during the Edge/Orton feud last year.

CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shut your pie hole, Michael Cole. Christian had a match in 2020 :roll:

KILLSWITCH

Ok give me one more run with these 2.

THEY DON'T WANT NONE Y'ALL

Lock Jaw right now

OMG THAT SPEAR ON AJ!

Legit teared up at E&C getting a moment. My childhood. :o

Feels like the entries are speeding up.

:eek: Edge did a spear that wasn't completely horrible for once.

This Rumble match has been great so far.

Braun, Bray and Seth still to come perhaps?

Mysterio off whatever gas he was on before his return? Back in a shirt I see.

AJ vs Big E for WM?

And just like that he takes it off :lol:

I'd take Styles v McIntyre

:lol: at the mid-match beer advertisement by Cole.

Cole made it way more awkward than it should have been by trying to speed right through the whole ad.

Lmao welp

holy shit, AJ's bodyguard guy is huge

Hope SHeamus eliminates Riddle

Seamus look like he smell like a dam sweet potato

Need a Fiend spot when Orton comes back too

Omos is epic here.

Omos getting a push without being a legal participant.

I rode a tram with Sheamus at Dallas Fort Worth Airport. No scent issues.

Remember when Cesaro beat Randy Orton clean on SmackDown years ago?

Seth Freakin' Rollins!

Looks like Strowman will be #30.

Welp, Braun is #30. Really feel like that Orton winning without being in the ring thing could be a reality.

Rollins not looking as ripped

# 30 IS THE ROCK

Guess Becky finally got tired of Seth just hanging around in the house and barely doing anything productive or useful if he's suddenly back now.

I would take Rollins chasing Reigns but he's apparently an awful babyface

Bray will cost Orton

Stroman is fucking jacked

Man, I'm not really high on Strowman.

Both #30 spots in this year's Rumble show were very anti-climatic.

Maybe if Braun didn't show up on last week's SD, this would have felt much better as a surprise.

Where’s Orton?

Braun better not kill Christian

#31 IS THE ROCK

Please don't have Braun win

No Bray, no Oldberg, no BORK LAZNER. I did not see this happening without one of them at the least.

:lol: at the fake "This is Awesome" chants despite nobody in the ring doing anything.

Christian taking bumps <3

Pretty realistic if you ask me.

Damn DBry got all the way up to nail that kick on Braun.

I actually don't mind that both #30s were anticlimactic this time around as there were good enough surprises elsewhere. I think conditioning the fans to assume #30 is always gonna be a surprise is a slippery slope.

Fuck! D Bry is gone :(

C'mon DBry

Just as I fucking posted that ugh

Fuck, Bryan :(

I'm enjoying this Riddle of old.

Riddles chops Jesus

Anyone eliminating Bryan? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you

This feels like Edge vs Roman at WM

welp...

Idiot Riddle getting himself eliminated.

Sad as I am at Bryan not winning, he's on SmackDown creative and has been open about the fact that he's nearly done as a full-time wrestler. Doesn't strike me as someone who feels like he'd need a big accolade on the way out.

Yuck

Riddle dumb af for jumping over the top for that spot.

:lol: at Riddle getting eliminated via being a moron.

I finally woke back up after blacking out when Christian returned.

Christian in the Top 4. What a world we live in. Bless you 2021.

No new stars built tonight boys.

Maybe Bray costs Orton at the end

Wait a minute...did Styles' feet touch the floor?

its fake

Gonna be a Rollins

I dunno, Rhea and Damian seem like they may be in for a decent main roster push. But they are already a big deal in NXT I guess so ur right.

OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!

LMAO

fuk Edge

What. The. Fuck.

I'll take Edge over these other jabronis...wooo!

Lmaoooooo WWE almost had a perfect night. Almost.

WOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!

I don't even care that Edge napped through 70% of the Rumble.

Dude hasn't been in a ring since like May and lasted the whole thing.

Enjoyed the double swerve with the obvious one of Orton coming back out to try to steal it but then Edge STILL holding him off.

Also: CHRISTIAN MOTHERFUCKERS

They had announced last night that Orton was #1 and Edge was #2. When Edge entered at #1 instead I kinda had a strange inkling it was by design. Even though it's the same thing as entering #2, it just "sounds better" to win from #1.

I like it.

Look. I like Edge. But this habit WWE has of burying the whole roster in favor of old guys who aren't there hardly ever is really fucking whack. Uhg.

That was awesome!!!

Love Edge. This is dumb. Love you guys.

:eek: Edge won.

Kind of weird how very abrupt that whole ending sequence was like if WWE was suddenly running very low on time. Also made Orton taking that very lengthy nap break utterly meaningless with how quickly it backfired for him.

Match itself was amazing overall.

Love the Rumble. That was great.

Both rumble endings were out of left field for me tonight, had a blast the whole way!

Edge was certainly not my first choice but I'd take him over Strowman, Riddle or Rollins any day of the week.

23 pages for a WWE PPV? Weak as shit :o

I'm okay with it, mostly because it's good to instill some doubt that these kind of obvious ploys aren't always going to work, especially since they usually do in WWE.

I get people not being excited about Edge winning since he's old guard. I think he wants to be around more than a Lesnar/Goldberg, assuming his body can hold up to it this time around.

I'm not sure who else would have been a great choice for either of the current champions, I also imagine they want to have some kind of "name" in one of those spots to try and lure some new subscribers when they move over to Peacock to try and prove they're worth the money to NBC, so let's all just thank god it wasn't Goldberg or Lesnar.

I'd go with Edge vs Roman over Edge vs Drew

Def watching this Yokozuna doc

What sucks about this is they didn't need to reveal Edge was entering the Rumble. He could've shown up at #1 as a mild surprise (only mild because he returned last year/people kinda expected it)...but I don't think anybody's first instinct would be "oh shit Edge is totally going the distance!"

Instead, knowing he'd be in for the past week, people talked themselves into him being on the shortlist of possible winners.

Great thread guys

This year's show was one of the better top-to-bottom Rumble shows in recent years.

Outside of the Women's Tag title being a big dud and the WWE title match being just a typical WWE style Goldberg match, everything else was very entertaining.

Anyway, really enjoyed this show. Dunno if it'll be enough to keep me sticking around til Mania but as a standalone show this was great. I'm a mark for Edge and while he wasn't my first choice, I'm glad he's getting a moment after all the injuries. Women's Rumble was incredible.

I would've liked a Bryan win but honestly, that was fucking stellar. First ppv I've watched since mania.

I wonder if Edge challenges McIntyre. Run with the McIntyre putting away legends shtick.

If they feed him to Roman, welp, that gives Roman the big match he deserves. So I guess it's cool Edge won.

Yeah I mean I'm glad in the sense that I did not see it coming which usually isn't the case. But I feel like Rollins would have been a good match for Roman at mania. Or DBry.

Now I can only hope it's Drew v Edge. Or Orton beats Drew again for the title in the interim but God, Drew/Orton really needs to be over for now. I just really don't want to see SPEAR VS SPEAR as the main event at mania. I just don't.

That's how it's done AEW

They should have had Christian win. Missed opportunity of a lifetime again.

Now watch, RAW gets like 3 replies tomorrow night lmao

Christian looked to be in great shape and with such a lengthy run in the Rumble, I'd have to imagine he's getting one last run even if it's just for Mania season.

If Edge is going after Roman, I want E&C vs. The Usos at Fastlane if Jimmy's fit enough to return by then.

Overall, womens rumble was better IMO....
