Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable (Smackdown tag team championship fatal 4 way match)

Dolph Ziggler (United States Championship triple threat match)

You see Jericho attacking Omega ahead of Wrestle Kingdom?

Fuck me, someone needs to show Omega how to take the Codebreaker. Just flopping around like Vince taking a stunner.

Still hyped for the match though.

I really only care about the AJ Styles match tonight. I predict that he’ll retain the WWE title.

That was such garbage. I am so over the Shield and its lame members.

Kevin Owens and his guardian Angel continue to keep winning. Is the commissioner actually working with them? I think Paige will win the women's Royal Rumble.

It's a little hard to predict for me. I want to say Asuka, but I have to believe that she'll face Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women's Title and win, so I don't think she'll even be in it. I also want to believe Nia Jax will, but you know how in rumbles past that they always have a bunch of superstars gang up on the bigger targets.

If I had to make a solid pick, I'd go with Becky Lynch.

There's also speculation Ronda Rousey is going to debut, and from a star-push standpoint, it would make some sense for her to win as well, especially if they want to paint her as the women's Brock Lesnar.

I'm more curious to see what surprise entrants we'll see than who will actually win. People keep throwing names like Trish and Lita around, but I kinda want to see Molly Holly have a little comeback.

Asuka and Alexa Bliss will have a match. That is why they need somebody else like Paige. She is well known and winning would help her look strong.

If I had to make a solid pick, I'd go with Becky Lynch.

She is okay. I have never really seen her live up to her potential. She has never wowed me.

Truth be told, I'be been enjoying some of the women's matches more than the cruiser-weights. They do tend to have a few more noticeable minor botches here and there, but they are way better in-ring storytellers.

Things really picked up for the women when Paige returned with a team, and the Riot Squad did the same thing. Paige was gone for a long time, wasn't sure she would ever come back.

Even without Paige the women were doing a great job. The problem was their rosters were so thin that seeing the same matchups over and over was getting very old. This women's rumble is a big step in beefing up both rosters so they can start doing more/different angles.

I'm personally hoping they bring back the women's tag titles, even if it's just on Raw to help fill the 3 hour bloat. Having a tag division will give the gals not fighting for the singles belt a lot more to do, and each match gives 4 women TV time, so it's win-win.

More rosters make for better matches. That is very true. I have to admit that I do enjoy a good stable.

If they did bring back the Tag Titles, who do you think would be worthy? The Riot Squad and Absolution seem to be good at teamwork so far.

Also a.bummer because Sasha is a great wrestler but she's a danger to herself and others. As if she didn't already have that reputation before all this. She's the female Rollins.

Yeah. There's a difference between freak accidents and being a danger to others. She's starting to develop that reputation, and I feel a lot of that has to do with her either not being happy with how she's being used, or she's just not as into the profession as she used to be.

Before passing judgment on Sasha, keep in mind Paige has a documented history of hiding injuries, and wrestling when she shouldn’t. Neck issues aside, she’s had scoliosis for years and has always been one bad bump away from permanent injury. Banks had to trust Paige could handle all their spots just as much as Paige had to trust Banks to not botch things. It’s a 2 way street.

I subscribed to New Japan World. incredibly worth it giving the amount of content it has and very quality wrestling.
Also sup chumps and chumpettes?

Men's royal rumble match : Roman Reigns

I'm not really sure who wins this one, but I think since Reigns vs Lesnar is pretty much set in stone, that it'll be a SD winner. I'm just gonna say Dolph Ziggler.

Women's Royal Rumble match : Asuka

Agreed

Brock Lesnar Vs. Braun Strowman Vs. Kane (Universal championship match)

Yup

AJ Styles Vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn (WWE Championship handicap match)

I kinda think Owens and Zayn win with an assist from Bryan.

Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan Vs. The Bar (Raw tag team championship match)

Agree. They are doing a good job using the title to turn Jordan into an unaware heel.

The Usos Vs. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin (Smackdown tag team championship 2 out of 3 falls match)

I'm taking Gable and Benjamin on this one, just because they'll want to have a few more rematches.

Andrade Cien Almas Vs. Johnny Gargano (NXT Championship match)

Agreed

Ember Moon Vs. Shayna Baszler (NXT women's championship match)

I'm thinking Ember Moon, but it'll be because Baszler gets herself DQ'd

The Undisputed Era Vs. The Authors of Pain (NXT tag team championship match)

It has to be UE, otherwise what is the point of their push?

Aleister Black Vs. Adam Cole (Extreme Rules match)

Agreed, and Roddy will play some part in it.

Kassius Ohno Vs. The Velveteen Dream

Ohno is pretty much a jobber now, so yeah.

Men's royal rumble match : Roman Reigns

I don’t see it. I agree with PG that it’s going to be a Smackdown Live wrestler winning this with Roman getting a shot against Brock by winning an Elimination Chamber match. My pick is for Shinsuke Nakamura to win it all.

Women's Royal Rumble match : Asuka

I agree with this one.

Brock Lesnar Vs. Braun Strowman Vs. Kane (Universal championship match)

I agree with this one.

AJ Styles Vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn (WWE Championship handicap match)

I agree with this one.

Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan Vs. The Bar (Raw tag team championship match)

I see The Bar winning this one with a feud starting between Rollins and Jordan as one of them screws up and cost them their titles.

The Usos Vs. Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin (Smackdown tag team championship 2 out of 3 falls match)

I agree with this one.

Sasha Banks is terrible and has a horse face. She ruined Paige's career because Sasha has shit ring skills.

The 25th episode of RAW was garbage. They should of brought back Hulk Hogan , Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash and many other great wrestlers. The entire DX thing was really sad, except for Scott Hall. Razor Ramon is still the bad guy.

The UnderTaker looks really old and should not be returning to the ring.

Chris Jericho still has it, and even brought back THE LIST.

I was thinking about getting the WWE network, but wasn't sure how good is it. Do you recommend it?

Called it. Shinsuke won the Rumble. Vince did the right thing.

I really though it would be Dolph Ziggler. They way he just gave up his belt, you know something interesting will happen. Nobody just gives up a championship belt.

So both Royal Rumble matches were pretty damn awesome. The men's match was easily the most entertaining one WWE has had since the won that Edge won back in 2010. Not a huge fan of Ronda Rousey coming out and stealing Asuka's thunder to end the show, but she's going to bring countless new eyes to the product, so I can understand why they did it.

Pretty happy with the show overall. Can't wait to see 2019's show in Arizona. First time they're running a WWE PPV out of an MLB park since Wrestlemania 19. Should be dope.

I just noticed Bellas put Asuka over and Cena and Roman put Naka over. (Props to them)
This looked like the exact opposite of what Vinnie would do.

The booking for the end of the Men's rumble in particular was just PERFECT. Having it down to Balor, Nakamura, Reigns and Cena was just so smart. You have the 2 guys the fans would revolt against, and two of the guys the fans would pop hard for. Then you eliminate Balor to scare the fans into thinking we'll be seeing yet another shitty rumble result, only to have Nakamura persevere over both golden boys.

At first I was feeling a little disappointed with how few surprise entrants there were, but by the time the women's rumble was in full swing, they had so many it made up for it. I marked out for Vicky haha.

The Rondy Rousey surprise kind of annoyed me. OH LOOK, I WALKED IN AND GET A FREE TITLE SHOT. But, being a crossover celebrity, she's going to get a lot of eyes and media for the women's division. Raw can probably expect the highest ratings for a post-Rumble show in nearly a decade tonight.

I have to imagine they will book Rousey vs Charlotte, wich makes sense for her. So Asuka will be choosing Alexa and staying on Raw.

It's worth the $10 considering at the very least you get both the Raw and SD PPVs each month, plus NXT every week. And there's a very small chance 205 live is finally going to be worth watching soon. So even if you don't watch any of the other content you're still looking at around 15+ hours of in-ring content every month.
