Any possibility of Jay White a la AJ Styles in 2016?

 

he has a couple matches scheduled still for NJPW. night after mania is probably where he’ll pop up

 

Raw after mania makes a lot of sense

 

Would TK allow Jericho to be in the rumble?

 

Man that just reminds me that fingers crossed we'll get an actual good exciting Raw after Mania this year


I also don't think it's out of the question he'll show up (not likely) but it could be the returned favor for Karl Anderson

 

A surprise who we all forgot signed with WWE (because it was immediately overshadowed by Vince):

Dragon Lee

 

Yeah but he’s 100% NXT I think? At least for now

 

They -should- debut Dragon Lee in the rumble even though he’s NXT. Having him in the “new signing sits ringside” at an NXT show is kinda dumb. He’s one of the better wrestlers in the world, let him have a 10 minute run in the match.

 

I think Steiner Kid is a good bet to be in the rumble too

 

Have him debut in the first 10 when the crowd is still hot and the ring is fairly empty and just give him a showcase with like, Finn or Ali or Jaquin Wilde and he'll be over AF

 

His entrance music gets me so hyped lol.

 

I hate Batista but that theme is a banger

 

I feel like Batista would be too busy promoting his movies. He's got Knock at the Cabin out next week and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 in May

 

Cody Rhodes is still uncool.

 

Also he could be joking around but he’s went out of his way to trademark various things he’s used


I think Ryder has a good chance to be a surprise tomorrow

 

So probably not a surprise entrant tomorrow

 

Rikishi ?

 

He wasnt at RAW XXX because he was sick...id be surprised if that magically cleared up in time for the Rumble. Would be cool though

 

One of the music channels on Pluto TV has had a Faith No More marathon all day and it just occurred to me that CM Punk has been pretty much doing Mike Patton cosplay for the last two decades.

 

Apparently the superstore sold out of Cody merch yesterday and they are having to do a major restock. But I don’t know about that. I was there an hour before they closed and they still had a lot of his stuff

 

Yup Brock's officially in the rumble. Please don't repeat 2020's rumble lol

 

I mean, or 2022 for that matter

Kinda feel like he's gonna be the Roman-style heater, in the final 4 or even final 2 so that the winner gets cheered

 

I got my fingers crossed for Roman vs Brock at Mania

 

Cody has to slay the beast, do the work, blah blah

 

Lacey is gonna end up fired seconds into her return
