Did we ever find out who "attacked him in the parking lot"? That guy.
Note: I remember that Owens kinda sorta said he did it, but he may have been being a dick since everyone thought he did. And since he's main roster now, we'll never know.
My pick? Finn. He's already beaten all the top heels in NXT, so why not turn? It'd also make sense when Gallows and Machine Gun join up to be his lackeys. It'd also make the inevitable Sami Zayn match more interesting.

Get back injury.

I love to see a mini rumble happen on the last Raw before the Royal Rumble to claim #30.

Caught in an endless cycle of death and rebirth. I assume they'll stick around until Kain foils the plans of the elder god by claiming the soul reaver with Raziel's soul in it.
Fuck Raw.
Fuccckkkkkk Raw.
See Okada already went through that with the whole Tana feud. Still I appreciate the fact they have to figure out something to freshen up the main event scene. Who knows maybe a quick title switch based off Okada being so focused on Tana over the last few months that he is exhausted and took his eye off the ball would be acceptable.
Probably waiting for him to finish up his Duolingo or something.
Or A-Train is beating the lucha out of him.

Del Rio's problem isn't that they are treating him badly on purpose. They are just mishandling him with a bad storyline, and even then he had a great promo exchange with Cena last week and got over with that crowd. The guy beat Cena clean in the goddamn middle on his first night back and has lost I think once since he's came back. He's been super protected.
Considering all that, and the fact that Nakamura is more talented and naturally charismatic than Del Rio, Nakamura will most likely be just fine.

That won't happen because we all know #30 will be Triple H.

I may never get my revenge on Yoshitatsu for having to endure his commentary yesterday. Sad fact of life.
This is something my mid-30's ass can get behind. Let me know how you get on, Aiii.
Probably a bit of both.
Sombra has a great look, but he's nowhere near yet, like the New Japan guys are.
Cena knows how to play the chips.
He's gonna protect his spot forever and no 5'2" weed eating hippie is g0nna threaten his popularity again.
But a hero can rise and take down this politician.
And he's ready to shooto
Anyone?
But is he more vascular than Swoleberto?

I imagine the talent that has burned their WWE bridges and needs to earn a paycheck are happy they're still alive.
The only person more vascular than Swoleberto is the image Vince sees of himself when he looks in the mirror.
Please let Curtis Axel be entrant #30 but with only Roman remaining, Triple H screws Axel again this year and destroys him before he can get to the ring, taking his spot.
Considering his last match resulted in injury and a film delay probably not.
He is scheduled to film the new Baywatch movie in March.

No one knows yet. The card for WM is really unknown right now considering they had to switch up everything when Rollins got hurt. Meltzer seems to think they wouldn't hype the Rock stuff up as big as they have if it wasn't a match, but he doesn't know anything for sure yet.
We don't know yet unfortunately and we don't know yet unfortunately.

I just realized, we're likely going to get a picture of the King of Kings and the King of Strong Style shaking hands.
Kinda hope they're both wearing their ridiculous crowns doing so.

Nobody knows. Seems to be more likely Triple H will be against Reigns. Reigns has to defend his title in the Royal Rumble itself, so general consensus is H wins with shenanigans and Reigns gets it back at mania.
The biggest news today is WWE has taken two of the best wrestlers in NJPW in AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura, who also happened to wrestle an incredible match a Wrestle Kingdom yesterday (and it wasn't the only incredible match on the card, either). You should check it out if you enjoy a bit o' wrasslin'.
That's even more damning, that they aren't doing it on purpose, they're just massively incompetent. I think it would be more acceptable if it was on purpose.
Imagine Seth vs AJ. AHHHHHserenewarfare

Another considerably less likely but also not good scenario is that Rock wins the Rumble and the title, then we get Rock vs. Roman at WM and Rock does the job and the handshake endorsement thing, which would be especially weird considering he did that with Cena.
I highly doubt that happens because of how much Roman would both look inferior next to Rock and the fact that he'd get booed, but I would not put it past Vince to think that would get Roman over and that it'd be a split reaction.

I used to compare Naito to Ziggler. "I appreciate he's talented" i'd say. "But I just don't enjoy watching him".
Since disinterested Naito emerged, I grew to be ashamed of that comparison.
That said, Ziggles would probably shine if he got to do an NJPW stint, or LU.
Losing to Heath Slater is some shit.
I have some serious schadenfreude going on with Dolph for no good reason because I actually like him. But it's fun to see him meander around the midcard with no direction. Will he keep trying to be more than he is, or will he finally settle into paycheck collection mode? That's what I call long term booking.
I'm not even a big Naito fan and I can comfortably say you're a bad person.
was good enough for the last world champion
If you all give me a dollar on Steam, I can afford Rise Of The Tomb Raider a few days later, which will soothe the heartache slightly.

Ziggler is a perfect example of a guy who looked like he could be great, but once his role expanded his performance level never expanded with it. Like Shawn Michaels got over initially on the back of being really naturally charismatic and bumping/selling well, but when his name was called, he expanded his range and became one of the best, if not the best, guys in the company. He showed that he had all the tools. Ziggler looked great when he was on the rise initially, but once he was called upon to do more, his shortcomings were exposed and it became clear that he got over in the midcard because he is a midcard guy, not because there is further potential.

Also, that finisher is junk. Even the name is appalling.
He could do with something new, something with more impact.
Like a reverse STO.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
People like Dolph Ziggler are why WWE doesn't take the fans as seriously as the fans think they should. There have been quite a few Dolph Zigglers and not nearly as many Daniel Bryans.
Alright thanks guys. I'll check that match out been looking to start watching again. After an off on hiatus.

Cesaro tore his shoulder shortly after posing for this.
Shenmue continues its path to True Carny status (Look at the poll results and the decision they made):
