World Wrestling Entertainment Presents: Royal Rumble 2022, 29 Jan 22
 

Pumped but bracing for pain


I hope Randy Orton wins. I've started to become really appreciative of him of late and I think him vs Roman program leading to WM would be amazing.

It's the Rumble which I'll always be a little pumped for. It's kinda hard to fuck up a Rumble match and not make it at least be fun.

Can't say I have any emotional investment in the outcomes, so nothing they can do tonight would piss me off. I'm just hoping for a good time.

I’m curious about the show, but more the business around the show, and less the specifics of the show itself. That’s the interesting part of wrestling these days, lol.

Always love the Rumble, the most consistently good ppv in wrestling every year

I’m interested to see the sort of match Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley have.

Always pumped to the max tor the Royal Rumble!

I wish the New York sports books had WWE available, can't wait to rake in a little cash on this stuff eventually. Anyone putting up money tonight?

Let’s do this

My prediction for match order:

* Women’s Rumble
* Seth vs. Roman
* Raw Women’s Title
* Brock vs. Bobby
* Copin’ with the Copelands vs. Miz & Mrs
* Men’s Rumble

Prediction for Women’s Rumble finish:

* Rhea Ripley throws out Lita and is the last obstacle for Bianca Belair who goes on to win.

Yala!

I’m a big proponent for Ronda Rousey coming back. I thought she was excellent and is obviously a big star. But I REALLY think Bianca Belair should win the Rumble. Not just for this year’s story of her repeating, but next year’s story of her potentially being the first person in history to win three Rumbles back-to-back. You can then also promote Ronda Rousey ahead of time as entering her first Rumble, ala Kurt Angle in 2002. Those two become the big focus, and the finish can even come down between them. It could be a big enough moment to justify closing the show with.

I was totally fine with Sasha eliminating Charlotte to get herself into that SmackDown title picture too, but with Bayley ready to come back (apparently), it could also be fine for those two to splinter off into their own feud (maybe they eliminate each other?) or get another run as Tag Champs.

Royal Rumble almost always fun... best WWE PPV of the year :-)

Anyone eating anything cool...

Going to predict it: Kurt Angle enters the Rumble and looks awesome. Come on, Kurt — you can do it. Some wrestling with Chad Gable, please.

Kickoff show

Im going way out on the limb for this one guys. Surprise rumble entrant will be Ospreay.

back to watching wwe pay tv, well king is still there.

surprise entrant marko stunt

Reports saying WWE sold about 43,000 tickets, so they will probably announce attendance tonight at about 59,000 :rofl:

Kickoff show is unbearable... Are there any matches? New Day vs. The Usos for the 800th time maybe?

yeah i am ready lashley vs lestner

Maybe Brock and Roman BOTH win and they do Brock vs Roman on Night 1 of WM and the RR winner faces whoever wins on Night 2

Crazy Isaac Yankem and Fake Diesel had zero Rumble eliminations considering Kane has 45.

Gonna commit ritual self-immolation when Johnny Knoxville wins the rumble match.

Haven't watched WWE in a while. So Sonya Deville can cut a promo huh? She's really good.

Sonya looked fiiiiine as fuck in that ring gear

Right? Man she's fucking hot.

I predict Kota Ibushi. He was slated to be ready to return at the start of this month, but New Japan weren’t in the position to build around him for that time, so it could have been a plan hatched when all this WWE/Anthem/New Japan stuff started kicking up, and he could have gone into quarantine and all that jazz by now. He’s also technically been in the WWE before via the CWC and I think he even worked NXT. It’s “obscure,” but it wouldn’t even technically be a debut.

Yes, it’s wild. If the Rumble piles up with the likes of Finn Balor, AJ Styles and Nakamura…be ready, lol.

The stadium set up looks really good for this show. Looks huge and yet not too big somehow.

Lesbian sex tape someday, I hope

I got a frozen pizza. :|

I think a lot of these "Forbidden Door" predictions are a fun and all but I'm not expecting anyone to cross company lines beyond Mickie James.

Damn are there any toppings or is it sadly just cheese?

I'm about to eaten some chickenz from zaxbys. Gonna try that new Buffalo Garlic Blaze sauce they have.

9 times out of 10 when I get a pizza, I’ll support one of the many locally need pizza joints.

But I always get a Domino’s Pizza for the Rumble. Can’t help it. It’s my “tradition”.
