ROME vs Goldberg would be the only thing that would make me excited for Reigns at WrestleMania.
Mr Every Other Day Off could stand to do some jobbing
You see, I want to tell you that even Vince wouldn't greenlight such a bad idea. But he gave the green light to HHH vs Roman with Roman going over.
I'd be game for a Roman/Goldberg WrestleMania if it ended with Goldberg destroying Roman faster than Brock.

More believable than Cesaro, that's for sure.

Jake planting pudgy young Rick Steiner's face into the mat;
Also watched a great Murdoch vs DiBiase match that was pretty much them just punching each other in the face for 15 minutes. Also, love Murdoch being so hated in Houston that heel DiBiase was cheered even when winning with heel tactics.

If Balor is back in time for the rumble, he wins.
If not
If not
They have no together history in Japan
If it's anything like the match they had at the Dublin house show then prepare to be underwhelmed. The entrances and crowd atmosphere should be class though.
Picture this. Imagine the heat if Tye comes out at 9 and then Roman comes out at 10.
ADR was the top heel on Smackdown at the time; prior to the Rumble he feuded with Rey. Sheamus was the next big babyface they wanted to push since he was big nose's workout buddy. Didn't work out obviously because they suck at writing and booking.
And looking at these Rumbles and participants, I'm seeing the challenger for the title (who loses) also in the Rumble itself. The fuck? They didn't even do this in the mid 90's when the roster was super dire in depth.

Let me pararphrase myself.
This is more likely to happen than Sami Zayn winning the Royal Rumble in 2017:

They don't, I thought there was something between them with the whole Bullet Club thing.....or did AJ replace Balor as he was leaving?

I think the really shocking thing of Del Rio winning the rumble was WWE so badly wanting to push him that he won the MITB the same year.

We are still over a month out from the rumble and it isnt super obvious exactly what the direction for the Rumble is so thats nice.
Last few years you could easily predict the WM main event by Summerslam.

I love everything in this gif, my god.
Yeah whatever about TV, I cannot imagine the slog of a Roode Nak house show main event.
She is the opposite of Apollo Crews and TM61 in that she has a personality.
Is she good in the ring?

Is Nikki Cross still over-exaggerating how crazy she is or has she toned it down? I like her but so far what I've seen of Sanity has her going overboard.
Yes.

In all seriousness, very well deserved for all - Evie's a perfect match for NXT, tbh.

So has any 2016 WWE match topped Sami vs. Nakamura at Takeover Dallas?
Depends on how much you liked the CWC.

Zayn could put on a five star clinic with a jobber and I'm sure Vince wouldn't notice, too underdog from too far underground for Vinny Mac, Zayn winning the rumble would be inzayn.
Do we still have the EC PPV?
It's like WWE tried to phase it out for a year after the intercontinental title debacle
Depressingly more believable than most.
We need Miz vs Rock, revenge of a lifetime.Actually I take back my Sami Zayn pick, as I have a different person I'd be happy seeing win a Royal Rumble
Hopefully there's less rope chewing right now.
That makes two of us.
Why would there be revenge though? Rock is the reason Miz retained his title at Wrestlemania. That being said, I'd be down for Miz vs Rock. The brief Miz/Rock segments before WrestleMania 27 were actually better than the Cena/Rock segments

I personally think that Kota Ibushi vs Cedric Alexander is a lot better than Gargano vs Ciampa (its the best match of the tournament IMO) but I pretty much agree.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Cena is winning the Rumble
book that
Technically incorrect since the match was a double countout and Miz would have retained without any interference if not for the Rock restarting the match to begin with.

Cena vs AJ will main event Mania.

I would completely lose my shit if Miz won the rumble. It would make me so happy. Dude deserves another Mania main event.Actually I take back my Sami Zayn pick, as I have a different person I'd be happy seeing win a Royal Rumble
He should do what he did at the rumble last year except follow through with it to the end. Come out and go straight on commentary for the rest of the match, sneak in at the last minute and get the final elimination.

Roman vs AJ Extreme Rules is still the best AJ WWE match.
