That's what would have made that debut so much better. Nobody would expect HHH to "hide" behind an NXT star instead of fighting Rollins himself

Same, havent watched in awhile but Nakamura/Roode was a 4 star match easily.

Less time = Better shows, imagine that

Takeovers ALWAYS beats any Smackdown/Raw PPVs by a mile.



Definitely. It's WWE Creative though, sooo....

Idk either but that'd be a cool idea lol.

Orton being a favorite is definitely a swerve.

Royal Rumble predictions:

WWE Title Match
John Cena vs. AJ Styles - Styles retains, I don't think Cena will tie Flairs record until a huge moment like WM

No DQ Match for the WWE Universal Title
Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens
WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho will be hanging above the ring in a shark cage. - Owens retains. Whether Jericho finds a way out, or an unexpected ally, I expect Owens to retain and further the Owens/Jericho dissention

RAW Women's Title Match
Bayley vs. Charlotte - Charlotte wins. Bayley will get her WM moment to win the title then.

WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
Neville vs. Rich Swann - IDK about either. But Swann.

30-Man Royal Rumble Match
Brock Lesnar, Bill Goldberg, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E, WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin, The Undertaker, The Miz, WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose, RAW Tag Team Champion Cesaro, RAW Tag Team Champion Sheamus, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Luke Harper, Big Show, Sami Zayn, Big Cass, Rusev, Mojo Rawley - Likely a Balor return to win, OR Orton wins and helps to further the eventual Orton/Wyatt match

Kickoff Pre-show Match
Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax - Nia Jax. Seems like Creative has no idea what to do with Banks lately.

Kickoff Pre-show Match for the RAW Tag Team Titles
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs. Cesaro and Sheamus
There will be two referees. - Cesaro/Sheamus will most likely retain by the way of faulty dual ref counting. Possibly both mens shoulders being considered pinned?

Kickoff Pre-show Match
Nikki Bella, Naomi and Becky Lynch vs. Mickie James, Natalya and SmackDown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss - Mickie/Natalya/Bliss to continue the momentum. Don't really care though

I agree with most, but I really want to see that Reigns heel turn vs Undertaker at mania so I'm gonna fantasty book Reigns winning the title and Taker winning the rumble. Not really an accurate prediction but it's a wish

Is that you, Nevada? LOL

if finn comes back to win it i will never watch again a day in my life

I wouldn't be surprised to see Taker win it though. Set up to give him one last title run for all he's done.

Way I see it is, if they do have Cena win the title here, Taker will win the Rumble. Vice versa.

taker i can see coming back then getting sent off at mania with a loss, i dont see balor coming back to win, too predictable and honestly is bad for business nobody wants to even see him as a champion i personally was outraged when he won the title to begin with his first raw match

i can see orton, goldberg, or taker maybe stroman but i dont think hes quite ready yet
