Rumble tonight. Any shocking predictions or returns?

 

I heard rumblings about a possible Daniel Bryan situation for Sami Zayn, where fans could hijack the Rumble if anybody but him wins. I certainly hope not, I would hate to see that happen to Cody. Sami himself was asked about it and he said he thinks fans have enough faith in the storylines they wouldn’t do that. I agree with him.

Besides, IMO a situation like that can be mitigated by proper booking. I still maintain the Roman Reigns Rumble debacle in ‘15 could have been avoided with better booking, while still having him win. Maybe the dumbest-booked Rumble ever.

 

I heard the same. If the winner is Cody, he'll be in that same predicament as Batista. Both guys who made sense and "earned" the shot - but were in the wrong place/wrong time

 

A few:
Edge returning
Bron Breaker call up
Cody winning
Gangrel - to go with "Brood" Edge going after Judgement Day
Zack Ryder rumored. He submitted a Zack Ryder trademark this week and was spotted in town

And a debut of someone who has never been in WWE. HHH let Nakamura and Anderson work Japan/seems to have an interest in getting NJPW talent and both Tetsuya Naito and Jay White are uncontracted free agents working on per appearance deals for NJPW. Not saying they will, but both of them are able to sign with WWE, right now.

 

People will be pissed if Rock doesn't show up.

 

Dragon Lee is already working the spanish Pre-show so i would expect him in the Rumble.

for the women's side, Chelsea Green will be back, i'm expecting Summer Ray to also appear

Order of the matches tonight

-Men’s Royal Rumble matchup will open the show.
-Mountain Dew Pitch Black matchup between Bray Wyatt and LA Knight is second.
-Bianca Belair defending the Raw Women’s Title against Alexa Bliss is third.
-Women’s Royal Rumble is fourth.
-Musical performance by HARDY
-Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal title will headline.

 

That's gotta be wrong. Men's Rumble match should close the show.

 

No way men's opens. Womens maybe.

 

it's from Fightful Select, and they've been accurate with the matches order before

Gunther vs Cody Rhodes now

Cody Rhodes wins. Gunther lasted a record time in the Rumble

 

Well that throws out possibility of Kevin Owens getting in after losing

 

Oh cool, Gargano is back. I’m relying on Zathras for my Royal Rumble info

I wanna see more surprises in the men’s and women’s royal rumble.

dayum, Lesner out?

now Lashley!? It’s anyone’s game now.

Booker T is back in the game!, and now is out

I’ll be pissed if Theory wins

Logan Paul is there!? Ah bullshit!

Cody Rhodes! That’s my boy!

got to give it up for Sheamus and Drew McIntyre for how long they lasted and Gunther too.

 

Stupid having the men's Rumble match first.

 

Can Rey still show up? Since he didnt actually enter yet.

 

I was expecting Cody for #30. But wasn't expecting Gunther to be the other last one.

 

Did Kofi botch his elimination? Seems like he was supposed to land on the chair to stay in the match.

 

Yes looks like he did

 

It would be a shocker if Gunther wins

 

Cody wins, big fuckin' deal.
