It makes sense for Cody to be #1 if he's not champ. In 2023 he was #30 (last) In 2024 he was #15 (half way) In 2025 he should be #1 (first) It's just good math, great to see that Oli enjoys good math 😉
He should win the one where he comes out 1st so he can win from all 3 stages. I kinda hope someone else wins next year and I really really really want it to be a Zain
Rock vs Austin vs HHH vs Shawn Michaels vs Cena vs Undertaker vs The Big Show - for the Undisputed WWE World Heavy Weight United states Intercontiential TAG team championship
Charlie Dempsey appearing with William Regal would be awesome. He's already one of the best in ring guys in NXT, and they seem to be getting ready to give him a solo push. With Drew Gulak released, they immediately used the D'Angelo's to separate Dempsey from the rest of NQCC. I suspect William will show up to say "I told you so" at some point in the next couple weeks, as he warned Charlie about this when he first won the Heritage Cup.
The Regal thing was a missed opportunity, because the King of England's name is Charles and his son is William. So it wouldn't so much be a role reversal as a Royal reversal.
Just watched it all in one sitting. What a ride…again. Very well done. I found myself going on the same wave of emotions I did while these events were unfolding. Even knowing what was going to happen, it’s still so impactful!!

It’s RR vs RR 20) Liv Morgan - visible pop as she’s come to take out Rhea who looks at her from the ropes, but Roman superman punches Rhea to massive boos - Rhea gone Now Liv looks terrified to get into the ring but when she does is immediately tossed by Roman who’s sole survivor again 21) MJF - Debut 22) AJ Styles 23) LA Knight 24) Randy Orton 25) John Cena Ring is filling up with late entry guys who could win.

But the Rock is behind Punk, Rock bottoms him and points at Cody Who is facing Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania? Rock or Punk Sets up EC where Punk vs Rock will decide who faces Cody, where Roman intervenes to set up Roman vs Rock and Punk vs Cody
Countdown ends at #30. A pregnant pause. After an awkward silence crowd starts to boo. Lights go out. Crowd erupts! Dozens of druids circle the ring and entrance ramp. The participants in the ring look on in shock. A single hooded druid steps to the middle of the entrance ramp. It leans down still not showing their face and holds a microphone. After another brief pause you finally hear… in pitch-perfect acapella: “Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name. And it feels… like…. Home.” Lights turn up the druids throw their robes off revealing them all to be buff dancing guys. The singing druid reveals herself to be Madonna as she continues singing Like a Prayer. #30 comes running out! It’s Grado!

Taking a look at yours. I like the Joe Hendry bit and the lack of filler (Rumbles can be prone to filler). I think your ending is good but is kind of outdated as I feel if that's the direction they were going they would've likely had Sami be involved when the Cody stuff happened
Someone I would like to see have a shot in the Royal Rumble who I don't believe has been in it yet is NXT's Wes Lee. Great performer, loads of talent. I feel like the casual WWE watcher may not be familiar but he could soon become a fan favorite and maybe elevate himself to a main roster spot. Also, now that NXT has signed Ethan Page he would be an exciting competitor to add if Trick and Carmelo are in the mix. Uncle Howdy could be a fun add to the 2025 Rumble match as they have been teasing the next incarnation of the Wyatt Family since Windham/Bray's passing. Would cause chaos in the ring and may provide more insight as to who the members are ,both returning members and new.
I'm calling that ilja and gunther are 1 and 2 (with ilja coming out on top), and the final 2 to be rock and punk, with punk winning and going for the WHC
I love how everyone is calling Luke most unrealistic but the other two picked a dude that has wrestled 0 tv singles matches in half a year since returning to win it all and be trusted in the biggest match of the year
@@wmumoose1 im sure he can do a one off like others such as Hurricane Helms or Piper or Snuka did. Would be cool to see Abyss and Kane face off during the rumble match...then Braun Strowman ruins it
Alright, might as well draw my hand 1.Drew Mcyntire 2.CM Punk (feels like a good way to start off the rumble with a red hot fued, they also make it to the end 4) 3.Otis (gets in, starts doing really well but gets unfortunately gets thrown out immediately by Drew Mcyntire) 4.Gunther(Iron man and the winner of the rumble) 5.Carmelo Hayes 6.Bobby Lasheley 7.Grayson Waller (in a feud with Theory, gets to a hot start before taking a spinebuster from Lasheley 8.Ivar 9.Baron Corbin 10.Big E(the powerhouse of the New Day returns to a mammoth pop, he hits his big moves everywhere, he then hits Ivar with a big ending and eliminates him) 11.Sheamus (gets in a standoff with Mcyntire and Gunther, some heavy hitting moves happen before Punk attacks Mcyntire while Sheamus & Gunther continue brawling) 12.Austin Theory(gets in a fistfight with Grayson Waller before eliminating him) 13.Shinskue Nakamura 14.Dabba Kato (doesn’t eliminate anyone but does start dominating before Big E & Corbin beat him up in the corner 15.Braun Strowman (he throws out Carmelo Hayes before taking out everyone in the ring along with Kato, we then get a big boy moment as the two standoff before they start brawling. But while they’re both trying to eliminate each other before Sheamus & Lasheley throw them out. But they still start brawling threw the stands while they throw the guards trying to stop them) 16.Chad Gable 17.Jey Uso 18.Miro ( the redeemer has returned to WWE. And while he doesn’t eliminate anyone, he does go wild and even puts Theory, Gable, & Corbin in a triple camel clutch before he gets hit by a boot from Lasheley 19.Randy Orton 20.Kevin Owens 21.Oba Femi (goes absolutely crazy by eliminating Nakamura, throwing theory in a crazy F-10, and pop-up powerbombing Mcyntire before he gets in a standoff with Lasheley before eliminating him) 22.Ilja Dragunov (immediately gets into a brutal fight with Gunther) 23.Joe Hendry (enters the rumble to a massive pop, goes after Oba Femi but is unfortunately eliminated before Sheamus hits him with a pump knee taking him out for a while) 24. ( the entrant with the most eliminations has everyone tries to gang up on him before he fights back and throws out Baron Corbin, Miro, and then throws out Theory by press slamming and the other two, before he gets in a big fight with Oba Femi before he tries to throw out Jey Uso before Omos eliminates from behind, which would lead to a wrestlemania match) 25.Brock Lesnar (Lesnar has returned to a massive pop before he gets into a standoff with Omos before after a struggle is able to eliminate him before he is also able to eliminate Big E in another big standoff) 26.Bron Breakker (the intercontinental champion heads into the ring before getting into standoff with Lesnar, Breakker speeds across the ropes before he spears him and is able to eliminate Lesnar in a surprising elimination, before he starts spearing almost everyone around before he gets taken out by a Glasgow kiss and from Mcyntire) 27. Seth “Freakin” Rollins (does his entrance and he eliminates Chad Gable after he gets distracted and scared from the lights shutting off and the Wyatt Sicks music playing, to which after he is eliminated he sees some of the Wyatt Sicks members before he runs off backstage, after Breakker goes crazy again, he is about to press slam Punk out the ring before Gunther is surprisingly able to eliminate him from behind and looks at him in anger) 28.Damien Priest (while priest enters, Dragunov is thrown out by Mcyntire before Breakker returns and spears Dragunov ) 29.Jacob Fatu (Fatu goes crazy with Kevin Owens starting to brawl outside with Fatu before Fatu gets the upper hand and is able to throw out Owens before he then eliminates Sheamus as well) 30. John Cena (Cena returns to his last ever rumble before getting into a standoff with CM Punk and Orton, meanwhile, Priest gets thrown out by Finn Balor and the rest of the judgment day since their in a fued, but he is saved by Mysterio, Miz & Truth, as they all brawl down the walkway) Final Moments (Fatu goes nuts once again by eliminating Orton, while Rollins gets thrown out by Mcyntire, Cena is then thrown out by Fatu once again, but as Fatu is about to throw out Jey, Jey is able to reverse the elimination by tripping Fatu out of the ring, you’re final 4 are CM Punk, Jey Uso, Mcyntire, & Gunther, the fable moment happens as Mcyntire throws out Punk before Mcyntire is then thrown out by Jey, Jey Uso & Gunther are now the final two men left in the ring as they get into a climactic brawl, but just as it seems Jey is going to throw out Gunther, Gunther regains the advantage and is able to throw out Jey to win the royal rumble)
As soon as Luke filled the ring with TNA guys, I thought HE'D be the one using Santino, coming out as TNA GM to "sort out" the confusion/mess, when they turn on each other, only for EVERYONE to stare at him, hit ALL their finishers and kick him out
It's not about working on a Saturday. It's that SmackDown reviews don't do great numbers so they decided to can it and just stuff like this & Oli's deep dive topics racks in more views so they would keep that format going forward
Before watching the video, my prediction is that Roman will return at the Rumble, win, and then we get the final match between Cody and Roman. Rock vs Cody could happen prior since Rocks filming schedule finishes before Summerslam
If we are making "Way Too Far In Advance" a series, how about whoever is on do a short list of current wrestlers for a "Retirement Matches Way Too Far In Advance." Could be interesting to see what y'all think of.
Gonna drop my own prediction/fantasy booking for this Rumble. Lmk what you think: #1: Cody Rhodes (WWE champ and Iron Man) #2: Ilja Dragunov (IC Champ) #3: Pete Dunne #4: Dominick Mysterio (first elimination) #5: CM Punk #6: AJ Styles #7: Damien Priest #8: R-Truth (least time in rumble) #9: Sami Zayn #10: GUNTHER #11: Danhausen (either a Forbidden Door Surprise or hiring after possible AEW release) #12: Chad Gable #13: Trick Williams (NXT call-up) #14: Sheamus #15: Bron Breakker (most eliminations) #16: Rey Mysterio #17: Braun Strowman #18: Tyler Bate #19: Finn Balor #20: Tama Tonga #21: Kevin Owens #22: Tomasso Ciampa #23: Drew McIntyre (eliminates CM Punk) #24: Jey Uso #25: Seth Rollins #26: Eugene (Nostalgia Pop) #27: Jimmy Uso #28: Johnny Gargano #29: The Rock (eliminates everyone still in ring including Cody) #30: Roman Reigns (Big Dog returns and wins the match and title)
Would be hilarious to make a completely randomised list (like Luke's starting point), but keep it as a control group. Perhaps representing Editor Adam....?
My early Royal Rumble predictions 1. Roman Reigns 2. Tama Tonga 3. Jey Uso 4. Solo Sikoa 5. Sami Zayn 6. Jimmy Uso 7. Rob Van Dam 8. LA Knight 9. Xavier Woods 10. Big E 11. CM Punk 12. Drew McIntyre 13. Rey Mysterio 14. Chad Gable 15. Dominik Mysterio 16. Joe Hendry 17. AJ Styles 18. Braun Strowman 19. Trick Williams 20. Kofi Kingston 21. Dragon Lee 22. Sheamus 23. JD McDonagh 24. Wade Barrett 25. Ethan Page 26. Bron Breakker 27. Finn Balor 28. Damian Priest 29. Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins 30. John Cena
Winner: CM Punk Iron Man: Roman Reigns Most Eliminations: Roman Reigns Fastest Elimination: JD McDonagh First Elimination: Tama Tonga Final 4: CM Punk, Joe Hendry, John Cena & Damian Priest Final 2: John Cena & CM Punk
So long as there’s no long term investment story wise in CM Punk. He’s unreliable and is now even older + injury prone. Limit him to special attraction, invest in your stars that are always there. It’s like they forget why the attitude era got popular and why the early 2000s were so awesome to begin with. Austin got popular because he had to fight for attention from the established stars, when he faced them he actually beat them. I get 100% why he never had a match with Hogan now.
Would love to see Abyss and petey Williams in a Royal Rumble. Not sure Kane would lose to Simon Miller. Luke should have put Blue Kane in there. It would be nice to Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce in a Wrestlemania. Great content
Luke booking simon miller again is so awsome, we need to open the forbidden door and get a luke and simon show. Have them cosplay as stone cold and goldberg as well for the show. Whatculture then does a angle where they kidnap oli davis. You then see oli on a whatculture video chained to a chair being forced to report news but hes also dropping hints to help him. More shennanigins to follow
The predictions show just how much Triple H wants to highlight wrestlers who came through NXT. It's as if his ultimate wish is to have a Mania card that is filled with NXT-produced talent from start to finish. If it makes sense then I don't mind.
#30 is actually the new lucky number. I'm still bothered that we haven't had a winner from 27 since '01, and they kept praising it as "the lucky number" for all these years
It makes sense for Cody to be #1 if he's not champ.
In 2023 he was #30 (last)
In 2024 he was #15 (half way)
In 2025 he should be #1 (first)
It's just good math, great to see that Oli enjoys good math 😉
I (ahem) Stein Oli appreciating his maths
Simple maths. Just spells disaster for Samoa Joe on Sacrifice.
He should win the one where he comes out 1st so he can win from all 3 stages.
I kinda hope someone else wins next year and I really really really want it to be a Zain
@@christopherwiessner555 hell no!! He's already been given 2 royal rumble wins and 2 wrestlemania main events in a row.
Following this trend, in 2026 he will be -15
Royal Rumble equivalent of "enjoys nice catering": "Eliminated by Bron Breakker"
Luke went to the WWE Personnel wikipedia and scrolled right past the roster and went straight to producers
That's what we need. A producer's Battle Royal.
🤣👻
Calling Pete Dunne "filler" is criminal
But true
But he is
Until WWE treats him otherwise, he is.
when Luke Owen said Number 7 is Simon Miller I laughed why here's why
😱
Even more when Kane was 8
He's coming to WrestleTalk soon
@@collinskanazache8682 I hope not.
What's Miller Simmons doing in the Wrestletalk zone!
Not gonna lie, I would expold out of my seat when the TNA theme of Abyss hits at the Rumble. Good job Luke
Well to be fair he is a backstage producer for wwe so yes and no
Gotta have the farty Pyro 😂

6:28
RAW literally has Bron, Braun, and Bronson.
There's you new faction... My 3 Brons. 😂
They could do brawny paper towel commercials.
What is this, a parody of Ed, Edd, n Eddy?
please do 2041 Fastlane
Wait what?😂😂
In Saudi. Main event will be Undertaker and Goldberg the rematch
In Beijing
Rock vs Austin vs HHH vs Shawn Michaels vs Cena vs Undertaker vs The Big Show - for the Undisputed WWE World Heavy Weight United states Intercontiential TAG team championship
Sunny and Chris Benoit vs Chyna and New Jack
Charlie Dempsey appearing with William Regal would be awesome. He's already one of the best in ring guys in NXT, and they seem to be getting ready to give him a solo push. With Drew Gulak released, they immediately used the D'Angelo's to separate Dempsey from the rest of NQCC. I suspect William will show up to say "I told you so" at some point in the next couple weeks, as he warned Charlie about this when he first won the Heritage Cup.
After Simon Miller it should’ve been Haku 😂
These are so much fun!
Luke’s energy is so great in these videos.
Luke's booking of Rock at number 31 happened in a MyCareer of WWE 2K... in 2K20 I think. He also was the POTUS if my memory is correct
2K18 MyCareer. He also automatically wins the rumble, so even if you win the match, you get thrown out and still lose anyway.
@@gh1D0ra88 right, I knew it was one of those... thanks!
I thought Rock was going to voice Knuckles the Echidna and be himself as the president in the 2nd Sonic the Hedgehog movie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yea it was 2k20
As a fan who survived WCW 1999-2000, I hate when Oli says "New Blood." Serious Russo ptsd
Ugh… Russo drove me to WWF/WWE.
My guess is the women's rumble is coming soon.
Great video regardless and glad you are still doing this
LOVE these kind of videos! Hope you continue to do more in the future!
Love these types of videos. Hope this becomes a series where you guys predict a bunch of paper views(PLE) too far in advance
@thehyena1636 thanks for the pointless contribution fella
@@thehyena1636premium live events*
Hopefully Survivor Series and SummerSlam.

Oli saying you injure him again 😂😂😂
I’m surprised they didn’t put Joe Hendry👏🏽👏🏽
He will be there entrance number 8
Would've been elite for Luke's booking
Had a feeling Luke was putting the Rock in 30. But not in that convoluted way 😅
The Regal thing was a missed opportunity, because the King of England's name is Charles and his son is William. So it wouldn't so much be a role reversal as a Royal reversal.
Just watched it all in one sitting. What a ride…again. Very well done. I found myself going on the same wave of emotions I did while these events were unfolding. Even knowing what was going to happen, it’s still so impactful!!
I love how the new solution to getting a good Rumble is TNA
MY FANTASY RUMBLE (BELOW)
We’re starting bloodlines shenanigans straight away
1) Solo Sikoa
2) Jey Uso
3) Tama Tonga (On Solos side)
4) Tonga Loa (on Solos side)
Deck stacked against Jey out comes
5) Jimmy Uso (in to help save his brother from elimination)
6) Sami Zayn (reuniting with Usos to form OG Bloodline vs New Blood)
7) R Truth (immediately eliminated by everyone)
8) Roman Reigns (clears house except for Sami Zayn who rolls out of the ring) - he points his finger to the sky before getting bumped on the back by Sami who’s slipped back into the ring)
9) Chad Gable (Sami distracted not knowing who to go after, but survives until)
10) Kevin Owens - Eliminates Chad, now it’s Roman vs Sami & Kevin
Ring starts filling out a bit while the mini match goes on
11) Finn Balor
12) Braun Strowman
13) Uncle Howdy
- who “recruits” Braun in the ring to go after Roman for a bit
14) Ricochet - tries to talk sense into former tag partner, eliminated
Sami & Kevin eliminate Howdy, Roman eliminates Braun
15) El Generico (visible confusion from Sami) - he fights a bit before taking off the mask to reveal himself AS… LOGAN PAUL
16) Dominic Mysterio - who immediately goes after and eliminates Logan)
17) Bobby Lashley
18) Damian Priest - now we get a mini judgement day reunion as they eliminate Bobby & Kevin, Roman eliminates Sami
now it’s judgement day vs Roman
19) Rhea Ripley (who returns from injury) - visible tension, she eliminates Dom for cheating on her with Liv
Roman and Rhea take a remaining JD member each and toss them out. It’s RR vs RR
20) Liv Morgan - visible pop as she’s come to take out Rhea who looks at her from the ropes, but Roman superman punches Rhea to massive boos - Rhea gone
Now Liv looks terrified to get into the ring but when she does is immediately tossed by Roman who’s sole survivor again
21) MJF - Debut
22) AJ Styles
23) LA Knight
24) Randy Orton
25) John Cena
Ring is filling up with late entry guys who could win. We see Randy vs John setup for Mania, LA get some decent shots at Roman. LA vs MJF tease
26) Gunther - it’s getting busy in there now
27) Joe Hendry (just for the meme)
28) CM Punk
29) Stone Cold
30) The Rock
The last stretch of the match goes INSANE. John & Stone cold moments. stunner to the rock.
Until final 5 of CM Punk, Roman Reigns, The Rock & John Cena & Stone Cold
Things go crazy, Roman finally eliminated by The Rock, The Rock eliminated by Austin, Austin eliminated by Punk until it’s Cena vs Punk in the RR final two
After a mini match Punk finally wins, and looks like he’ll be going after Cody at Mania.
But the Rock is behind Punk, Rock bottoms him and points at Cody
Who is facing Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemania? Rock or Punk
Sets up EC where Punk vs Rock will decide who faces Cody, where Roman intervenes to set up Roman vs Rock and Punk vs Cody
Luke's ended being actually the most interesting. I'd watch that.
Ah yes notable “BIG BEAFFY BOY” Ilja Dragunov who is 210lbs
He can hit hard though-
@@Emgoscus328 true. He can slap meat pretty hard, but he certainly no big meaty man.
He's not girthy, but he is very good at beating meat.
In fairness, Tyler Bate is a Big Strong Boy, so Ilja can slide in I think
Tell him that 😂
I love this concept. I'd love to see you do predictions for SummerSlam after SummerSlam
Agreed. I want them to do WM again though too with the rosters defined
All three of these were honestly fantastic!!!
Plz do the women’s one!!
Luke's is the most realistic because of the TNA stuff happening rn 😅😂
Superb editing!
Sorry if this is already known but guys, why is Laurie not on WT anymore?
Mostly dealing with Their board games channel
Charles Regal was right there!
Pete saying his main eventers are in the back half sounds very 2012 Rumble to me (but with better names)
Drew McIntyre, Santos Escobar, and Ilja were oddly my #1, 2, and 3 entrants.
Mine were:
Cena, Logan Paul and The Miz (Done before the draft)
I’m surprised Luke Owen didn’t book Joe Henrey!
Countdown ends at #30. A pregnant pause. After an awkward silence crowd starts to boo. Lights go out. Crowd erupts! Dozens of druids circle the ring and entrance ramp. The participants in the ring look on in shock. A single hooded druid steps to the middle of the entrance ramp. It leans down still not showing their face and holds a microphone. After another brief pause you finally hear… in pitch-perfect acapella: “Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone. I hear you call my name. And it feels… like…. Home.” Lights turn up the druids throw their robes off revealing them all to be buff dancing guys. The singing druid reveals herself to be Madonna as she continues singing Like a Prayer. #30 comes running out! It’s Grado!

I like the Joe Hendry bit and the lack of filler (Rumbles can be prone to filler).
I think your ending is good but is kind of outdated as I feel if that's the direction they were going they would've likely had Sami be involved when the Cody stuff happened
I just died when you were like simon is alone in the ring doing the "*slaps head* why?" And who should come out? Kane.💀💀💀💀
Love these!!!
Lots of fun in this video. More like this 👍👌
Now I'd like to see a 10 minutes royal rumble fantasy booking each.. That would be great 3 videos following up that I'd love to watch..
Someone I would like to see have a shot in the Royal Rumble who I don't believe has been in it yet is NXT's Wes Lee. Great performer, loads of talent. I feel like the casual WWE watcher may not be familiar but he could soon become a fan favorite and maybe elevate himself to a main roster spot. Also, now that NXT has signed Ethan Page he would be an exciting competitor to add if Trick and Carmelo are in the mix. Uncle Howdy could be a fun add to the 2025 Rumble match as they have been teasing the next incarnation of the Wyatt Family since Windham/Bray's passing. Would cause chaos in the ring and may provide more insight as to who the members are ,both returning members and new.
I'm calling that ilja and gunther are 1 and 2 (with ilja coming out on top), and the final 2 to be rock and punk, with punk winning and going for the WHC
I love how everyone is calling Luke most unrealistic but the other two picked a dude that has wrestled 0 tv singles matches in half a year since returning to win it all and be trusted in the biggest match of the year
I predict a suprise entrant.....The Monster Abyss
He’s been retired for awhile I think. He may even be an agent now. I like the thought but I’d expect a Kane one-off
@@wmumoose1 im sure he can do a one off like others such as Hurricane Helms or Piper or Snuka did. Would be cool to see Abyss and Kane face off during the rumble match...then Braun Strowman ruins it
13:52 Oli just casually having a stroke
Ypu should do one for the show between rumble and mania so you do the entire road to wrestlemania
Interesting to see Oli add a little Steiner Math to his Rumble prediction.
I think we all just like 3 of you around this table talking about stuff lol
CM Punk wins royal rumble and faces Cody and Seth at mania
Honestly I think this could be a good monthly series where you book the following year’s PLE after the current one just ended.
Luke worried about the percents is so completely on brand for him
especially knowing the first like 10 of his are essentially not going to happen
A month later and the line about Ricochet needing to be in it is already obsolete.
Its good to see olly do a prediction video by himself
#31 and providing his own countdown…R Truth!
Alright, might as well draw my hand
1.Drew Mcyntire
2.CM Punk (feels like a good way to start off the rumble with a red hot fued, they also make it to the end 4)
3.Otis (gets in, starts doing really well but gets unfortunately gets thrown out immediately by Drew Mcyntire)
4.Gunther(Iron man and the winner of the rumble)
5.Carmelo Hayes
6.Bobby Lasheley
7.Grayson Waller (in a feud with Theory, gets to a hot start before taking a spinebuster from Lasheley
8.Ivar
9.Baron Corbin
10.Big E(the powerhouse of the New Day returns to a mammoth pop, he hits his big moves everywhere, he then hits Ivar with a big ending and eliminates him)
11.Sheamus (gets in a standoff with Mcyntire and Gunther, some heavy hitting moves happen before Punk attacks Mcyntire while Sheamus & Gunther continue brawling)
12.Austin Theory(gets in a fistfight with Grayson Waller before eliminating him)
13.Shinskue Nakamura
14.Dabba Kato (doesn’t eliminate anyone but does start dominating before Big E & Corbin beat him up in the corner
15.Braun Strowman (he throws out Carmelo Hayes before taking out everyone in the ring along with Kato, we then get a big boy moment as the two standoff before they start brawling. But while they’re both trying to eliminate each other before Sheamus & Lasheley throw them out. But they still start brawling threw the stands while they throw the guards trying to stop them)
16.Chad Gable
17.Jey Uso
18.Miro ( the redeemer has returned to WWE. And while he doesn’t eliminate anyone, he does go wild and even puts Theory, Gable, & Corbin in a triple camel clutch before he gets hit by a boot from Lasheley
19.Randy Orton
20.Kevin Owens
21.Oba Femi (goes absolutely crazy by eliminating Nakamura, throwing theory in a crazy F-10, and pop-up powerbombing Mcyntire before he gets in a standoff with Lasheley before eliminating him)
22.Ilja Dragunov (immediately gets into a brutal fight with Gunther)
23.Joe Hendry (enters the rumble to a massive pop, goes after Oba Femi but is unfortunately eliminated before Sheamus hits him with a pump knee taking him out for a while)
24. ( the entrant with the most eliminations has everyone tries to gang up on him before he fights back and throws out Baron Corbin, Miro, and then throws out Theory by press slamming and the other two, before he gets in a big fight with Oba Femi before he tries to throw out Jey Uso before Omos eliminates from behind, which would lead to a wrestlemania match)
25.Brock Lesnar (Lesnar has returned to a massive pop before he gets into a standoff with Omos before after a struggle is able to eliminate him before he is also able to eliminate Big E in another big standoff)
26.Bron Breakker (the intercontinental champion heads into the ring before getting into standoff with Lesnar, Breakker speeds across the ropes before he spears him and is able to eliminate Lesnar in a surprising elimination, before he starts spearing almost everyone around before he gets taken out by a Glasgow kiss and from Mcyntire)
27. Seth “Freakin” Rollins (does his entrance and he eliminates Chad Gable after he gets distracted and scared from the lights shutting off and the Wyatt Sicks music playing, to which after he is eliminated he sees some of the Wyatt Sicks members before he runs off backstage, after Breakker goes crazy again, he is about to press slam Punk out the ring before Gunther is surprisingly able to eliminate him from behind and looks at him in anger)
28.Damien Priest (while priest enters, Dragunov is thrown out by Mcyntire before Breakker returns and spears Dragunov )
29.Jacob Fatu (Fatu goes crazy with Kevin Owens starting to brawl outside with Fatu before Fatu gets the upper hand and is able to throw out Owens before he then eliminates Sheamus as well)
30. John Cena (Cena returns to his last ever rumble before getting into a standoff with CM Punk and Orton, meanwhile, Priest gets thrown out by Finn Balor and the rest of the judgment day since their in a fued, but he is saved by Mysterio, Miz & Truth, as they all brawl down the walkway)
Final Moments
(Fatu goes nuts once again by eliminating Orton, while Rollins gets thrown out by Mcyntire, Cena is then thrown out by Fatu once again, but as Fatu is about to throw out Jey, Jey is able to reverse the elimination by tripping Fatu out of the ring, you’re final 4 are CM Punk, Jey Uso, Mcyntire, & Gunther, the fable moment happens as Mcyntire throws out Punk before Mcyntire is then thrown out by Jey, Jey Uso & Gunther are now the final two men left in the ring as they get into a climactic brawl, but just as it seems Jey is going to throw out Gunther, Gunther regains the advantage and is able to throw out Jey to win the royal rumble)
I will say, Luke’s is looking good right now 😅
Luke's "Iron Man" CM Punk was Tony Stark from Iron Man 3.
I would love to see these rumbles simulated in 2k24 if possible.
Will you guys do the "in advance" booking womans royal rumble?
Luke's Rumble is greatest of all time.
im digging lukes idea for the tna rumble lol those guys deserve a rumble moment
Pete's Rumble makes the 1995 Rumble look star powered
As soon as Luke filled the ring with TNA guys, I thought HE'D be the one using Santino, coming out as TNA GM to "sort out" the confusion/mess, when they turn on each other, only for EVERYONE to stare at him, hit ALL their finishers and kick him out
Was like watching three rumbles at once and I loved it😂
Luke definitely has the best one just because I f the final ending...
Are y'all ever gonna restart SmackDown reviews again?
They do that on Mondays.
Give them a break for weekends.
@@Undivided-X I've not seen a SmackDown review on Monday either tho
@@sahurshr6885 They do SmackDown and Collision reviews as part of the same show on Monday evenings.
Bring back Saturday reviews, surely someone there can work 2 hours on a Saturday.
It's not about working on a Saturday.
It's that SmackDown reviews don't do great numbers so they decided to can it and just stuff like this & Oli's deep dive topics racks in more views so they would keep that format going forward
Oli, i like your OG vs New Bloodline....... But theres a War Games right there buddy. Solo, Tama, Tanga and Jacob vs Roman, Jey, Jimmy and Sami
Very good Orton reference from Oli
Also man the casual labeling of Andrade as filler. Homie really left the banger matches of AEW to just being another cog in the midcard wheel
26:04 IT'S NOW OFFICIAL:
*MATH>PIPEBOMB* 😈😬
I’d watch Oli’s. I love Simon Miller.
Keep making these type of vids
Oli trying to explain that Shawn Spears and Cody are friends legitimately made me do a spit take.
Cleaning up my keyboard and screen right now.
I’m not caught up with the news on this channel’s policy, but why isn’t there a SmackDown review on saturdays anymore?
I can't believe it. 91 people and no love for the 2024 King of the Ring winner Kofi Kingston... Sad ding
Before watching the video, my prediction is that Roman will return at the Rumble, win, and then we get the final match between Cody and Roman. Rock vs Cody could happen prior since Rocks filming schedule finishes before Summerslam
If we are making "Way Too Far In Advance" a series, how about whoever is on do a short list of current wrestlers for a "Retirement Matches Way Too Far In Advance." Could be interesting to see what y'all think of.
Women's Rumble next?

Damn no randy Orton in the rumble
@@qbincashion8058 He'll be in a mid-card match
Bring back smackdown reviews please!
look forward to that Scott Steiner/ la knight Faceoff. They were great in tna
I can’t understand why we have a AEW Dynamite review, but not smackdown. We need that back.
The Best Wrestling You Tube Channel

So long as there’s no long term investment story wise in CM Punk. He’s unreliable and is now even older + injury prone. Limit him to special attraction, invest in your stars that are always there. It’s like they forget why the attitude era got popular and why the early 2000s were so awesome to begin with. Austin got popular because he had to fight for attention from the established stars, when he faced them he actually beat them. I get 100% why he never had a match with Hogan now.
Would love to see Abyss and petey Williams in a Royal Rumble. Not sure Kane would lose to Simon Miller. Luke should have put Blue Kane in there. It would be nice to Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce in a Wrestlemania. Great content
Luke booking simon miller again is so awsome, we need to open the forbidden door and get a luke and simon show. Have them cosplay as stone cold and goldberg as well for the show. Whatculture then does a angle where they kidnap oli davis. You then see oli on a whatculture video chained to a chair being forced to report news but hes also dropping hints to help him. More shennanigins to follow
No one has acknowledged Gable Seveson lol
I’m upset no one said Gio to have his own little attempted redemption against gunther or kaiser
The predictions show just how much Triple H wants to highlight wrestlers who came through NXT. It's as if his ultimate wish is to have a Mania card that is filled with NXT-produced talent from start to finish. If it makes sense then I don't mind.
Everytime Luke puts up a TNA name I keep dying inside from laughter.
#30 is actually the new lucky number.
I'm still bothered that we haven't had a winner from 27 since '01, and they kept praising it as "the lucky number" for all these years
ok I wanna say I love how KANE got more laughs than simon miller and the tna lads
You should do one for the Women's 2025 Royal Rumble.
Honestly I demand you predict 2026’s royal rumble for new years
Very ironic that the one that hates the Steiner maths promo. Has put Scott Steiner into his royal rumble
YOOOOO!!!🤣🤣🤣 I LAUGHED SCREAMED SO LOUD AT SIMON MILLER!!! LUKE YOU ARE A GENIUS "STEINER MATH BABY!!!" *tm 😅
Good list fellaz💪🏾
'So Simon Miller gets into the ring and he sees Petey Williams and Abyss eliminate each other. And then. Kane.'
Luke is selling us a dream here
