I swear the opinions and some criticism that I've seen over the last two days regarding this Rumble made me go crazy. I'm not talking about the winners or some booking decisions that I'm sure will continue to being discussed for a long time, but reading comments that saying it was the worst Rumble in the last 20 years it's the biggest disrespect you can say to this Rumble and to the current WWE product in general. In terms of starpower, storylines leading in to the match, the unpredictability on who was gonna win, the uncertainty for the road to WM and some iconic moments like Reigns, Cena and Punk sharing the ring together, I literally can't understand how can it not be a good Rumble...I guess the IWC will explain it to me
I think it's was one of the best rumbles of the last couple years , unpredictable , new talent, no fillers , everyone had a role alot of future matches and rivalries for me top 10 rumbles for sure
I am genuinely tired of the online wrestling community. This has become the ONLY wrestling show I watch because it respects the product, it respects us, the viewers, and it isn't based on random half-baked emotional complaints that are only based on surface level outbursts. This years Rumble was very fun and entertaining, even my wife (who is a new watcher and just getting into it) had a blast watching it. Now I, myself, am not a huge Jey Uso fan, but I respect that he's gotten so over with the fans. I am kinda annoyed with everyone automatically assuming he'll go after Gunther... And maybe he will. But hear me out... If the Bloodline story all started with Jey Uso vs. Roman Reigns, wouldn't it be compelling to have Jey take the title off Cody, and have to defend it against Roman as the story comes full circle, but with reversed roles? I think that'd be amazing.
I actually HATE the wrestling community on social media… especially Instagram… the sheer amount of negativity claiming this to be the worst Rumble ever and the disrespect towards Jey Uso… I can’t believe the negativity… I’ve decided to unfollow all accounts on Instagram just because I’m sick of the community on there… always so negative
@ definitely… I just find it odd that there’s so much negativity over on Instagram but from my experience at least, I haven’t seen it much anywhere else
Yeah I disavowed myself of the hyper negative wrestling “fans” a long time ago. They suck so much, and will never be satisfied until time travel gets invented so they can go back to their precious Attitude era.
Agree Sam!!! The email segment is one of the best parts of your podcast!! People need to stop taking it so seriously. You are hilarious man! Keep it up
At first I was like "eh" I think it will be more interesting to have a bonkers Elimination Chamber. Cena, Punk, Seth, Drew, Sami Zayn, KO, Logan Paul. I know that is 7 but those guys are all in play. It could help set up Seth vs Sami at mania which I think is where it is going. That's gonna be an incredible match
I think Jey vs Gunther is what they're going with. Jey vs Cody could be a great full circle story as well. The right hand man, taking the title back from the person that took it from the Family.
Jey winning is a very divisive choice, but that doesn't make it the wrong decision. I feel like this will only add more intrigue to wrestlemania, because nobody really knows how this is going to turn out, and the unpredictability is a good thing.
People will always complain. If punk won. If Cena won. If Reigns won. If Sammy won. If Rollins won. If McIntyre won. No matter who who won. People are going to complain.
And his title reign will just be as bad also , both aren’t and not worthy or holding the main title in wwe complete disregard to the goats of wwe stone cold rock mankind undertaker and current wwe legends like cm punk Roman Seth drew ect
Or maybe he was not as over as you think. A song being over and ppl dancing to it does not automatically mean everyone wants to see that wrestler in the main event of wrestlemania, especially when there are so many stories that could benefit more
With Cena vs Cody and Reigns vs Rollins vs Punk happening at the same event, there's no way Jey Uso main events Mania, and I'm fine with that. This year Triple H is pushing three main stories for their biggest show and that's just great to see, I hope Jey can become world champion. Also, the womens division just got two of their biggest stars back (Bliss and Flair) so I'm sure we're covered with at least one banger on this side too.
Shawn Michael's bully ray bobby roode in tna jeff hardy brett hart big e kofi mania what do they have in common .. singles wrestlers that started with tag teams and has a chance to be world champions let them cook and lets see what happens I honestly believe if Charlotte loses vs tiffy then jey winning will do allot for how we feel about this rumble Lets remember jey has had allot of really good passionate promos in the bloodline
You sold me on the Jey winning the rumble last week and I made that my prediction and the rest of my friends thought I was insane. Now I’m the last one laughing!😈 Thank you my PTC🙏🏾☝🏾
My only issue with Jey and Jimmy in my opinion is they're missing that real finisher that feels like they're finisher. The Uso splash always felt like a signature not a finisher
If Triple H is playing MyGM and wants to put 2 superstars with the most popularity in the main event of night 2 because he got that quest from the game, his picks are Jey (100) and Cody (99).
@jakobsrensen1684 ok, but if the feelings are real, if the crowd keeps popping... At some point you must just admit that it works even if it's a super kick spam fest. John Cena was the guy for years and had 5 moves.
Actually the Jey Uso storyline began WAY back in 2020 at Clash of Champions when Jey went against Reigns and said “Why can’t I be Universal Champion, why can’t I be the tribal chief?”. Jimmy threw in the towel and then at HIAC Jey lost to Reigns again. This time Jey had to say “I Quit” after Jimmy’s attempt at saving Jay went wrong and Jey had to save Jimmy from Reigns by saying “I Quit”. The story was originally about Jey and I also think the original reason for Jey acting the way he did towards Sami was because Sami had a choice and chose to do a lot of bad things for Roman to impress him whereas Jey didn’t have a choice because he’s family and that made Jey mad.
A simple Thankyou Sam for bringing some logic to the wrestling community, I cannot stand the majority of the online wrestling community. Jey was my pick too for all the reasons you have stated! Punk has his favour and he was just in the ring with both champs like he was a dead cert to win, of course he wasn’t gonna, Cena is all over Elimination chamber promotion and barely appeared this year, again Cena or not he wasn’t gonna just walk in and win the rumble his whole story over recent years has been hardships and lack of wins. Roman has multiple ways to get into a main even calibre match without a title with all the enemies made over the years, Seth & Drew ultimately only cares about stopping Roman and Punk from winning. To me that left Sami & Jey, Sami’s story has just started cooking but Jey was the obvious outside pick to me, and with rumble full of so many superstars with stories already, to me this made complete sense.
Cena is filming a movie that’s why he hadn’t had time to appear it’s not like he never cares he does care !!! Plus it’s only 36 dates he has in this tour here !!
@ yeah dude I know that but I’m talking about the WWE wrestler John Cena, not the literal man himself outside of work. He obviously loves this industry more than anything else in the world, Jesus.
I think Sami plays a huge part in spring boarding Jey…watching the whole not feeling ucey thing turn into winning Jey over was so endearing it really was the beginning imo.
How much they paying you sam? You use to be pretty wise but now your just a company dude. He can't work, hes not main event, hes a corporate push. Honestly except roman im absolutely done with all the bloodline members as a whole.
Triple H is officially a terrible booker. Charlotte and Jey winning the rumble, Wyatt 6 flopping, Gunther being an absolute mid champion and being highly overrated, Karion Kross having tv time for some reason, and soooo many missed opportunities in the Rumble. Triple H is just lazy
Am I the only one who expected Cena to lose when it was just him and Jey? The story arc prediction was spot on, it’s too early for cena to win the title shot..
People wanted to see Cena win especially after he gave that speech about winning the royal rumble. Jey winning was just so dumb and very disappointing to see. Thats not what the fans wanted whatsoever. I hated it. My mom hated it. My brother hated it. Reminded me of when rey mysterio won the rumble in 2006. That was the wrong move too. Vince knew it was but he did what other people wanted. He never wanted rey to be world champion because he was too small. Jey isnt on the level of a Stone Cold, Rock, Hogan, Brock, CM Punk, Roman, etc. I get it jey will be fighting for the losers world title that gunther has but the real worlds champion is Cody. Thats the real world title. Roman basically called gunthers world title the losers world title when seth rollins was holding it. Thats not the real world title. Also the real world title will be the real main event on night 2. The last match is and always has been the main event. So if they didnt make 2 nights of wrestlemania, that would me main event night 1 would be in the middle of the card.
People hate when Jey didn’t get the wins, then when he gets the wins, they complain? Cmon man he even worked as a jobber too, just be happy for this dude..🙌🏽 YEET!
-Gary TH-cam- is not disappointed with the rumble whatsoever! I didn't pick jey to win, but my boy was in my top 3 to win. Look at the crowd reactions he's getting. Its a no brainer! Cena needs to wait until after vegasmania, there is always a little downslide in attention after mania, it makes sense to give cena the mitb or king of the ring, then announce his cash in like he did before! But even if he doesn't get to 17, im sure he's satisfied.
The fact that Drew does a promo about coming after CM Punk at the rumble and doesnt even get a chance to be in the ring with him was stupid. Everything doesn’t count
Going forward, I hope this is a blend of normal Alexa and dark Bliss-without her overdoing the supernatural, but without her being completely 2016 Bliss.
Craziest thing My tribal podcast chief, I went to Raw in San Jose and my mom and I went to a pretty popular high end restaurant after the show and were were just ordering our food and 2 dudes walked in and Yeeted I yeeted back and another couple guys that were sitting in the place yeeted as well. Great points today. Made me see it much more clearly.
Jey uso a great tag team and rubbish singles star he doesn’t do good single matches , his wrestlemania match last yea this one of the worst I’ve ever seen vs his brother .And his title reign will just be as bad kofi also . both aren’t and not worthy or holding the main title in wwe complete disregard to the goats of wwe stone cold rock mankind undertaker and current wwe legends like cm punk Roman Seth drew ect
I knew cena wasn’t winning the rumble when as soon as he announced his retirement, they were advertising him for elimination chamber for the the last time in Perth, AS
I have no issue with Jey or Charlotte winning. I like them both. My main gripe with the whole show was that there was a complete no show of Randy Orton. Not only did he not show up for the KO vs Cody match but then doesn’t get included in the most star studded rumble in a very long. I’m glad there’s others on social media that are just as mad as I am with how he gets treated compared to other top stars. Left off the summerslam card, left off of the raw Netflix debut, and now not included in the royal rumble in any way. Triple H has some sort of vendetta.
12:45 I couldn’t agree more, personally I could make the argument of having AJ Styles win this rumble but Jey winning makes total sense and he’s as over as Jeff Hardy in 2008 in my opinion. And if the booking is right I firmly believe Jey will surpass that threshold in due time
If jey wins the world title, there is a chance that the zayn/jey friendship could take a serious turn, the heat they could build if zayn turns on jey, and takes the belt, leading to a possible zayn vs cena feud.
the reason ppl get so mad when jey lost his recent shots, is cuz they cant see past their own whims wishes and desires, unable to see the scope of the story unfolding before them, if jey won against gunther, sure cool for jey, but whats happens to gunther, he just recovered from a big loss, couldve absolutely ruined him, and if he had won a title the minuet people started crying for it, then its not such a big deal, but make them beg for months and months, then you get the biggest pop when shit goes down
Ok so when it comes to this podcast with Notsam, I am always 50/50 with his opinions and so called “facts”. Because sometimes it’s bullshit or he forgets the history with certain things. Last year the fans wanted Chad to beat Gunther for the IC title. Not Jey and not Sami. If you remember, the fans were pissed and booing Sami during his match with Chad cause everyone wanted Chad to be the one to finally beat Gunther. At war games, the only reason Jey came out after Punk and Roman was because he was starting the match. Had nothing to do with him being more over then Roman or Punk. I totally understand why WWE went with Jey winning the rumble. For starters nobody was expecting that at all. Yeah you might have had a few people say oh I would like to see Jey win but about 95% were hoping for Punk, Cena and Roman. Truthfully I was rooting for Punk. And like every other podcaster everyone was rooting for Cena, Punk or Roman and everyone made there little comments about Jey but nobody picked him or expected him to win. I honestly don’t have a problem with Jey winning at all. I just hope Punk gets his rumble win before he retires. But I’m pretty sure Punk will main event WrestleMania this year
People who hate Jey's Rumble win was a flop are not real wrestling fans, they don't know anything about the business and how it works, they don't know the beauty of the product right now
The people who have a issue with Jay winning just don't get it but they honestly didn't need punk to win the Rumble to get to Cody it's about the stories being told we still have the chamber and we all know who is going to be in the chamber so let's let them cook
I honestly believe the biggest match they can do is cody vs punk anyone else think cenas facial expressions and motions in some spots were trying to make the match look like a joke? Like when rollins music hits his expressions are so over the top its commical
Jey Uso has been making crazy amounts of money for WWE on a weekly basis now. You can barely get his merchandise at live events if you wait too long. He's about to make them even more money now just by winning the Royal Rumble. In this economics climate, if people are spending this kind of money on one person, any person running a business would ride this train until the money stops. Once fans make someone organically, you're basically printing money. Imagine the pop and money if Jey wins it all
Charlotte winning the women's rumble on her return is the same as Drew cashing in MITB the same night. Once they said they were going to do it, I knew how it was going to happen and it made the finish lackluster and too obvious. I knew Punk would interfere, and I knew she would end up winning it. So to me, the finish seems wasted. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure when Charlotte gets to Mania, it'll be a great match and I'll love it, just like I loved all the Drew and Punk stuff. But I wish someone else would have won the women's rumble.
Mania potentially will be.... Jey/Gunther Cody/Cena/Punk (triple threat) Roman/Seth Drew/Damian Sammy/KO Logan/AJ We just saw Jey/Gunther, so I get some of the gripes about him winning the RR.
So basically what you’re telling me Sam is that Jey USO won by a popularity contest with the biggest hype. I don’t want it to be Jey USO because he’s NOT there because of skill or being a singles champion guy. And also this DOES NOT lead to interesting Wrestlemania stories/matches.
I think the Wyatt6 to SmackDown is a ruse and their next rivalry will be with the Judgement Day. The faction was always presented as a chosen family with no leaders and yet the betraying was constant. Also, assuming JD recovers in time, now the numbers match. 4 dudes and 2 women per side. Throw the Demon Finn Balor on the mix.... And you are set for a great faction match at WM.
There's no story in Cena winning the Rumble. It would be nothing more than a corronation. The twists and turns along the journey is what will make the story of his last year work. I think he wins his 17th at Summer Slam.
I swear the opinions and some criticism that I've seen over the last two days regarding this Rumble made me go crazy. I'm not talking about the winners or some booking decisions that I'm sure will continue to being discussed for a long time, but reading comments that saying it was the worst Rumble in the last 20 years it's the biggest disrespect you can say to this Rumble and to the current WWE product in general.

The IWC is a joke some of them want Triple H fired 😂
The IWC is fkn miserable and insufferable
I think it's was one of the best rumbles of the last couple years , unpredictable , new talent, no fillers , everyone had a role alot of future matches and rivalries for me top 10 rumbles for sure
it was great untill the scam artist logan paul entered
cant wait till he scams all the little john cena fans like hes done multiple times to his child youtube audience

@@nalday2534 We did care. You're the only one who didn't, you clown🤡
I think Jey vs Gunther is what they're going with. Jey vs Cody could be a great full circle story as well. The right hand man, taking the title back from the person that took it from the Family.
and his former tag team partner as well back in fastlane
I like that story also but it's too soon and jeys not that guy (Austin / Cena level) but then again idk if Cody is either
He has to fight Gunther there no way they waste jey uso on cody when there so much more bigger stars and better wrestlers for that match 😊
Terrible main event lol. Roman and rock vs Cody and Seth last year is 10x better of a night one main event
Honestly him going after either could be ok
Fun fact “uncle howdy” posted “there you are” on the wwe post of her being back
JEY IS THE WAY!!! YEET!!!
Mid
Not
YEET!!
Jey winning is a very divisive choice, but that doesn't make it the wrong decision. I feel like this will only add more intrigue to wrestlemania, because nobody really knows how this is going to turn out, and the unpredictability is a good thing.
Jey vs Cody or Jey vs Gunther would both be MASSIVE letdowns compared to the main events at last years Wrestlemania
Big e said it best during the aftershow honestly it choked jey up and really solidified how i feel about jey uso right now
People will always complain.
If punk won.
If Cena won.
If Reigns won.
If Sammy won.
If Rollins won.
If McIntyre won.
No matter who who won. People are going to complain.
True so why not go with the one who will receive the least amount of complaints?
Mens Royal Rumble match was fantastic one of the best but the winner causing fans to hate
Imagine if AJ would of won ? 😲
email segment is my favorite because of your attitude during it! don’t ever change!
He needs to go over Gunther. He doesn't have to hold it long. Gunther has had his number for months. Cena vs. Cody at Mania.
Jey winning at Mania will be bigger than Kofi Mania
Drugs
And his title reign will just be as bad also , both aren’t and not worthy or holding the main title in wwe complete disregard to the goats of wwe stone cold rock mankind undertaker and current wwe legends like cm punk Roman Seth drew ect

@@DuranStonnell Stop bringing up old shit, those guys are gone.
Live in the present please.

I really hope they make the Gunther vs Jey into some type of multi man match or stipulation. A standard match will be weak.
Hey, I loved most of the Royal Rumble itself. The winners? I can't say I'm excited.
The switch up on jey uso just because their favorite didnt make it was crazy, jey uso well deserved .
Or maybe he was not as over as you think. A song being over and ppl dancing to it does not automatically mean everyone wants to see that wrestler in the main event of wrestlemania, especially when there are so many stories that could benefit more
Nah. Dude isn't that great of a wrestler and his promos are garbage.
Yeet man is horrible.
@@azsumgogo the people in the crowd said other wise tonight, YEET
With Cena vs Cody and Reigns vs Rollins vs Punk happening at the same event, there's no way Jey Uso main events Mania, and I'm fine with that.
This year Triple H is pushing three main stories for their biggest show and that's just great to see, I hope Jey can become world champion.
Also, the womens division just got two of their biggest stars back (Bliss and Flair) so I'm sure we're covered with at least one banger on this side too.
Punk is going to main event wm, so many people keep forgetting the favor is what leads him to the main event.
My favorite podcast in the WORLD!!!!!🌎
Shawn Michael's bully ray bobby roode in tna jeff hardy brett hart big e kofi mania what do they have in common .. singles wrestlers that started with tag teams and has a chance to be world champions let them cook and lets see what happens
I honestly believe if Charlotte loses vs tiffy then jey winning will do allot for how we feel about this rumble
Lets remember jey has had allot of really good passionate promos in the bloodline
I’m so glad Sam was unhappy with emails & it got my 2k email read haha
The jey vs jimmy has been confirmed that it was cut short because several things went over their time
You sold me on the Jey winning the rumble last week and I made that my prediction and the rest of my friends thought I was insane. Now I’m the last one laughing!😈 Thank you my PTC🙏🏾☝🏾
YEET!!!!
We love the hater’s
We NEED the hater’s
We also need a new costume designer for charlotte please 🙏🏽
Excellent point on Charlotte!!
Sam, I wish you luck in getting HHH on the podcast. That would be an episode I greatly look forward to! Hope you can make it happen!
Bliss got 1 of the biggest pops I ever heard.
1:11:52 Stephanie McMahon
Uso and his 3 moves makes 10 year olds happy.
I think with all the people left out of the Rumble we may be at the point we have to do 40 going forward, maybe cut it down to 1 min between entries.
You saying its important to be the most over guy in the company to win a Rumble? Does that mean that heels should never win the Rumble?
Does that mean that heels can’t be over? 👀
No matter what you think, Jey isn't a main event guy. Enjoy Jey vs Gunther at Mania. I've seen better manias.
My only issue with Jey and Jimmy in my opinion is they're missing that real finisher that feels like they're finisher. The Uso splash always felt like a signature not a finisher
They always have to hit 10 Splashes then a super kick spear and another splash
This actually killed the Usos 1v1 WM match. And I say all this as a big Uso fan
No monster side of Cody. Just a guy who backed up what he said he was going to do, that Kevin forced out of him. (storyline obviously 😉🤣)
If Triple H is playing MyGM and wants to put 2 superstars with the most popularity in the main event of night 2 because he got that quest from the game, his picks are Jey (100) and Cody (99).
Jey is massively popular right up until the wrestling begins...
@jakobsrensen1684 ok, but if the feelings are real, if the crowd keeps popping... At some point you must just admit that it works even if it's a super kick spam fest. John Cena was the guy for years and had 5 moves.

If Jey would of faced Gunther on the KOTR only. Then his rematch with him would of been awsome.

The reason Jey won the royal Rumble was simple, he was the last man who didn't get eliminated.
How very profound

But even if he doesn't get to 17, im sure he's satisfied.
This by far is NOT the worst rumble ever! Honestly, its top 3!

Every time sam says keyword alexa my alexa goes off. I love both alexas though so keep her and it coming.
Sam, how the hell do you not have more subscriptions? People are sleeping on this channel for sure.
Craziest thing My tribal podcast chief, I went to Raw in San Jose and my mom and I went to a pretty popular high end restaurant after the show and were were just ordering our food and 2 dudes walked in and Yeeted I yeeted back and another couple guys that were sitting in the place yeeted as well. Great points today. Made me see it much more clearly.
Jey uso a great tag team and rubbish singles star he doesn’t do good single matches , his wrestlemania match last yea this one of the worst I’ve ever seen vs his brother .And his title reign will just be as bad kofi also . both aren’t and not worthy or holding the main title in wwe complete disregard to the goats of wwe stone cold rock mankind undertaker and current wwe legends like cm punk Roman Seth drew ect
I knew cena wasn’t winning the rumble when as soon as he announced his retirement, they were advertising him for elimination chamber for the the last time in Perth, AS
Ahhh Triple H, my #☝🏽favorite wrestler of all time!
I have no issue with Jey or Charlotte winning. I like them both. My main gripe with the whole show was that there was a complete no show of Randy Orton. Not only did he not show up for the KO vs Cody match but then doesn’t get included in the most star studded rumble in a very long. I’m glad there’s others on social media that are just as mad as I am with how he gets treated compared to other top stars. Left off the summerslam card, left off of the raw Netflix debut, and now not included in the royal rumble in any way. Triple H has some sort of vendetta.
🎉
12:45 I couldn’t agree more, personally I could make the argument of having AJ Styles win this rumble but Jey winning makes total sense and he’s as over as Jeff Hardy in 2008 in my opinion. And if the booking is right I firmly believe Jey will surpass that threshold in due time
So now hes looking at challenging cody and saying he in fact cant beat gunther or we get another him a gunther crap fest
Jey vs Gunther main event night 1 would be awesome. Id love to be able to leave early and beat traffic.
If jey wins the world title, there is a chance that the zayn/jey friendship could take a serious turn, the heat they could build if zayn turns on jey, and takes the belt, leading to a possible zayn vs cena feud.
The favor is CM Punk is going to take a Romans spot in the Chamber
Goodjob Sam! The only guy I heard predict this for Jey. Hope you put some money on it finished at +2000.
the reason ppl get so mad when jey lost his recent shots, is cuz they cant see past their own whims wishes and desires, unable to see the scope of the story unfolding before them, if jey won against gunther, sure cool for jey, but whats happens to gunther, he just recovered from a big loss, couldve absolutely ruined him, and if he had won a title the minuet people started crying for it, then its not such a big deal, but make them beg for months and months, then you get the biggest pop when shit goes down
Ok so when it comes to this podcast with Notsam, I am always 50/50 with his opinions and so called “facts”. Because sometimes it’s bullshit or he forgets the history with certain things. Last year the fans wanted Chad to beat Gunther for the IC title. Not Jey and not Sami. If you remember, the fans were pissed and booing Sami during his match with Chad cause everyone wanted Chad to be the one to finally beat Gunther. At war games, the only reason Jey came out after Punk and Roman was because he was starting the match. Had nothing to do with him being more over then Roman or Punk. I totally understand why WWE went with Jey winning the rumble. For starters nobody was expecting that at all. Yeah you might have had a few people say oh I would like to see Jey win but about 95% were hoping for Punk, Cena and Roman. Truthfully I was rooting for Punk. And like every other podcaster everyone was rooting for Cena, Punk or Roman and everyone made there little comments about Jey but nobody picked him or expected him to win. I honestly don’t have a problem with Jey winning at all. I just hope Punk gets his rumble win before he retires. But I’m pretty sure Punk will main event WrestleMania this year
People who hate Jey's Rumble win was a flop are not real wrestling fans, they don't know anything about the business and how it works, they don't know the beauty of the product right now
They need to absolutely put vinnymac in the hof! After the world sees that he was wrongfully accused, put him in.
Jey uso will have a title match at Vegasmania, YEET!
This dude is the most pro wrestling pop culture cliche dude of all dudes…the voice…the outfits…the “inside”
☝🏿
When are you posting Lyra Valkyria interview?
The people who have a issue with Jay winning just don't get it but they honestly didn't need punk to win the Rumble to get to Cody it's about the stories being told we still have the chamber and we all know who is going to be in the chamber so let's let them cook
TRIPLE HHH was long overdue for the WWE HALL OF FAME
I honestly believe the biggest match they can do is cody vs punk anyone else think cenas facial expressions and motions in some spots were trying to make the match look like a joke? Like when rollins music hits his expressions are so over the top its commical
I almost got into 3 accidents because I legit got scared from the FATU
Gunther should not lose to Jey Uso!!! He should beat Cody honestly!
Jey Uso has been making crazy amounts of money for WWE on a weekly basis now. You can barely get his merchandise at live events if you wait too long. He's about to make them even more money now just by winning the Royal Rumble. In this economics climate, if people are spending this kind of money on one person, any person running a business would ride this train until the money stops. Once fans make someone organically, you're basically printing money. Imagine the pop and money if Jey wins it all
Charlotte winning the women's rumble on her return is the same as Drew cashing in MITB the same night. Once they said they were going to do it, I knew how it was going to happen and it made the finish lackluster and too obvious. I knew Punk would interfere, and I knew she would end up winning it. So to me, the finish seems wasted. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure when Charlotte gets to Mania, it'll be a great match and I'll love it, just like I loved all the Drew and Punk stuff. But I wish someone else would have won the women's rumble.
Mania potentially will be....
Jey/Gunther
Cody/Cena/Punk (triple threat)
Roman/Seth
Drew/Damian
Sammy/KO
Logan/AJ
We just saw Jey/Gunther, so I get some of the gripes about him winning the RR.
No Randy? 😢
55:45 Sam realizes what he says 😂
So basically what you’re telling me Sam is that Jey USO won by a popularity contest with the biggest hype. I don’t want it to be Jey USO because he’s NOT there because of skill or being a singles champion guy. And also this DOES NOT lead to interesting Wrestlemania stories/matches.
I was happy to see Trish Stratus and Nikki Bella in THE ROYAL RUMBLE
I think the Wyatt6 to SmackDown is a ruse and their next rivalry will be with the Judgement Day. The faction was always presented as a chosen family with no leaders and yet the betraying was constant. Also, assuming JD recovers in time, now the numbers match. 4 dudes and 2 women per side. Throw the Demon Finn Balor on the mix.... And you are set for a great faction match at WM.
There's no story in Cena winning the Rumble. It would be nothing more than a corronation. The twists and turns along the journey is what will make the story of his last year work. I think he wins his 17th at Summer Slam.
This rumble was like Game of Thrones, great til the last chapter
Put the women tag team titles on Bliss and Cross, Put the mens tag titles on Wyatt 6 like new day, and build new talent off them
Jey picks Gunther and wins at mania, punk wins elimination chamber and challenges Cody, Roman and Seth open night 1 or 2.
It needed to be Dirty Don’s year
They should change the Hall of Famer to be more than it is.
