Forget it....looks like Punk vs. Balor 2 for the new-WHC belt sometime down the line. Could be as soon as being at Rumble.

I get the whole Nattie character is supposed to be bad ass and what not. But to me she just looks like Ivy Nile's grandmother

With the show's ending, this looks likely.

Mysterio may have been legitimately hurt last night, Balor could always take his spot...

Or just take him out completely on Saturday to take his spot...

So, only two matches and two rumbles on Saturday?

I believe that's been the format of the Rumble in past years as well.

The pic she put out pissing on her gravestone is just wrong.

On McAfee's show, Lesnar declared he's in the Rumble.

Let's hope that goes better than when he faced Keith Lee.

Sorry Brock, Adam Pearce says the Rumble is full...

If Finn can't get a spot, no spot for you either

Wouldn't mind Tozawa coming out for the Rumble and Lesnar's music hits like halfway down, squashing him and taking his spot though...

The Rumble is consistently a great show so I'm super excited for Saturday. My predictions:

Men’s Royal Rumble Match - Roman

Women’s Royal Rumble Match - Liv

AJ Styles vs. Gunther | If AJ loses, he must retire - Gunther

Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre | WWE Undisputed Championship - Drew

[jmarascojr]

I read somewhere that WWE put in a trademark for "Career Killer" for Gunther.

So Gunther adds AJ to his pile of careers at Royal Rumble and then maybe Brock at Wrestlemania?

When do we get the Career Killer versus the Legend Killer?

Randy, while up there in age, doesn't seem to be retiring any time soon...

Didn't it get reported that Lesnar was looking to wrap it up at this year's SummerSlam?

I predict Oba Femi knocks out Lesnar.

Probably the safest prediction one can make.

I'll predict the final four will be Roman Reigns, Jacob Fatu, Cody Rhodes, and LA Knight

For the women: Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, and Iyo Sky (If Belair doesn't return, swap her out for Charlotte Flair)

If nothing else that theme is an absolute banger.

I'm also in the camp that would love an Oba Rumble win. Jey winning last year makes me think they go with a traditional more established superstar winning this year though. If I had to bet I think they go safe w Roman or it's a returning Seth winning.

[bjho852]

So is Gunther going to do double duty or not?

- Match against Styles
- Rumble match?

Perhaps you meant to share this in the AEW thread?

I thought Roman had a great shot a month ago, but it would feel so luke warm given he hasn't been on TV at all and I've read his only two appearances after this are at EC and Mania. If that were true you couldn't possibly build a title match.

Backstage staff members looked to have made a major mistake in displaying graphics at the Smackdown moments ago in Saudi, possibly spoiling the #1 Rumble entrant.

Saw that as well. Hopefully they'll do a last minute pivot.
