He’s not the surprise

 

I know this is old news by now, but it's still amazing to see how Mox became a much stronger brand after leaving wwe. Rly smart guy

 

Edge again? Rollins?

 

Edge was on Raw this week so his entrance isn’t a surprise, Rollins is technically a surprise

 

I feel like Rollins should win if he's in it. Kinda prefer to see him return on the Smackdown following RR

 

Tony Deppen and Jordan Oliver are now 100 minutes into their Iron Man match

 

Mia Yim got COVID.

Wouldn't be shocked to see the Rumble get swapped around, given she's dating/lives with Keith Lee and has been part of Retribution, which means she's been backstage with the RAW crew.

 

Last minute GCW change. Blake may have been signed.

 

Smackdown/NXT rumble incoming lol

 

Wouldn’t put it past WWE to not give a shit and have people on the show as long as they test negative. Doubt they care much for contact tracing and such at this point.

 

I thought Blake got signed already or am I thinking of someone else?

 

damn, mia yim was totally my pick to win it all!

 

You think of Alex Zayne?

 

Probably him

 

Orton's #1, Edge is #2 in the rumble. Glad they took the suspense out of it.

 

lmao why would they announce this ahead of time

 

The F4W writer who covers NJPW live results said that Tanahashi vs. Shingo was match of the year so far.

 

I understand why they dont care about surprises with no live crowd...but, Randy's facial expression as Edge's music hit is worth holding out for

 

It won’t matter when brock comes out next and easily eliminates them lol

 

I can’t see Orton being the Ironman tbh.

I’m assuming he’ll go between the ropes from Edge eventually and get his ass beat then lay out there for 25 minutes.

 

Yeah announcing that ahead of time with no reason whatsoever is really dumb and a perfect example of how awful creative has been this last year.

 

On the flip side, maybe they think people will care enough about what happened earlier in the year to tune in

 

I mean it’s the royal rumble - casuals are tuning in with no knowledge of the past six months of WWE booking

you don’t need to sell the royal rumble with anything other than it’s the royal rumble

 

I don’t think anyone remembers anyway

 

Rumble card is HERE

Left Naomi's spot in there on the off-chance she actually shows up. The Edge and Orton thing is just a gimmick to promote Backstage. No other reason I can think of.

This REALLY feels like Bryan's year to finally win the Rumble. To me he's the clear favorite and no one else is very close. No clue about the women though. Either Bliss, Charlotte.. Bianca maybe? Ronda is the dark horse.
