Anyone else watching the Royal Rumble today? It comes on at 2 on the east coast. I'm mainly looking forward to Gunther/AJ and the Men's Rumble the most. Should be interesting.

I am

Yessir!

Why would have Bliss and Flair come in at 1 and 2 if you’re not going to at least semi make it seem like there’s animosity between the two? That was stupid.

But Charlotte "accidentally" eliminated her, that may be something going forward.

I’m good with Liv winning it. I wasn’t too big on the rest of it. And I hate we didn’t see AJ Lee. Not real sure what the point of her coming back was if they’re hardly gonna use her.

I did think she'd be in it and further the story with Becky. Maybe she'll face Becky at Mania

This Gunther push is so boring

You don’t like his gimmick of retiring people? I kinda love it!

They gotta do something about this

They gotta do something about this

What can be done? It's the nature of live events now. When people stop buying second hand it will fix itself, but that is years away.

Also, that was a bs title match. I understand Sami losing, but that match was boring and was only there to bury Zayn, unless they do an amazing comeback story leading to a huge Wrestlemania moment for him, not a fan of that match

So far it’s been somewhat of a boring PLE. HHH makes everything so predictable and just goes for the showmanship angle.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Okay. I recant my statement. That was awesome!

They’re definitely setting up Roman’s retirement run and I guarantee it’ll be a replay of the Cena run. Roman will get the title at wrestlemania and then keep it for a few months, giving it up sometime in the fall.

I know is because they were in Saudi Arabia but did anyone notice in the women’s Royal Rumble that they all had a one piece outfit on. They weren’t dressed like they normally do.

Yea, they’ve done that before. It’s because of laws against women showing skin.

So decided to check out rumble winners on twitter out of curiosity. Haven’t watched a minute of WWE since the 2025 rumble outside twitter clips. All I can say is thank god I don’t waste hours of my life watching this garbage anymore.

I don't know, that's the million dollar question

 

[Pennheel]

I wasn't able to watch it because I had so much trouble getting onto the ESPN app. It said I didn't get any internet connection yet every other app i had was working

It worked last time I watched Survivor Series.

I was a bit angry even if I already knew it was predictable because I wanted to see it live. Oh well,I'll figure it out next time around the Elimination Chamber or WrestleMania.

Liv winning was pretty predictable even though I was glad she won.

AJ retiring was somewhat surprising. Hopefully, he finishes out in TNA.


Roman winning the Rumble?? Are you serious? On second thought,im kind of glad I didn't see it.

It’s definitely not. He looked too short and didn’t move like Rollins. Plus, the stomp was supposed to throw us off. I think it’s either (in order):
1) Becky Lynch
2) Punk
3) Theory (again)
4) AJ Lee

I’m pretty sure they had a goatee coming from under the mask

I don’t see facial hair, but seeing still pictures, it does look like a masculine person, especially the hands. So I’m now gonna go with:
1) Punk
2) Theory
3) Paul

The Rascalz were looking good on Collison tonight.

Hard for Ciampa to have a better debut than that. Heck of a dang match.


Side note, AEW is apparently getting an animated series.
AEW & Adult Swim Working Together On New Animated Project
