Watched this with a friend today....
Forgot how slik WWE is at their production values.... just blows AEW out of the water.
Opening match was a fun time... Rollins seems fun now... not sure if he has turned face, but it was fun a face with that "flamboyant" swagger/laugh..... The ending was a bit weird, especially with events later on.... I guess they are just leaving this Roman/Seth feud open for another month before getting on to WM. Wish Jon Moxley had come out for the save after the match.....
Enjoyed the women's Rumble.... rumbles are always fun.... was a bit "anti-climactic" at the end with the final two having no real "sequence" but just instantly Ronda winning.... always fun when the final two have an extended battle.... Still was a fun ride....
Becky/Doudrop I didn't really care about and couldn't really get into since it was "obvious" that it was just a "filler feud" and Becky would win.... I did learn that "Doudrop" is pronounced "Dew Drop" and not "Dough Drop" like I've been thinking....
Lashley/Lesnar video package was legit. They do such an awesome job with those. It made me pretty hype for the match..... though it kinda made me want to see them actually fight for real..... instead we got a fake fight filled with mostly suplexes and a finish full of shenanigans that doesn't make Lashley look like the beast from the video package.
Miz/Maryse vs Edge/Beth was pretty "meh" as well.... pretty obvious filler with an obvious winner.... and couldn't help but think the entire time "They are both gonna choose to have this petty and pointless match instead of being in the Rumble and having a chance for a title shot/main event?"
Men's Rumble... the winner was completely obvious the moment Lesnar lost so that took away some of the "mystery".... but Rumbles have had obvious winners before and been awesome..... but this one was pretty "not good"..... no real stories or moments...... Like the women's one it also had a very anti-climactic battle between the final two....
I'd probably say the women's one was better again....
