Backstage with DB. Says he worked with Sami Zayn and Finn Balor to prep for his return.

Glad to hear it buddy.

His hair has gotten crazily long now. To think he had a nearly bald buzzcut in 2012.

Rollins vs Orton makes the most sense for him.

Cena's kind of the odd man out in all of this.

I forgot about Orton. They have a feud there and Orton was pretty great during his face turn. That would be a good match.

His plan worked. He originally wanted to grow out his hair, but he grew out his beard first so that no one would notice his hair was getting longer. Except now he can't shave his beard because that's what people associate him with.

I bet someone will shave off his beard on camera to get heel heat though.

Just checked, my Network sub's up after Mania, which works out nicely. Going to cancel if the haven't uploaded some territory footage by then - it's so galling that they have this huge library of content but aren't using it, or even communicating what's going on or what their priorities and goals are for the Network, content-wise.

Crowd would totally get behind Rollins there. We also saw a Rollins/Reigns match a few weeks ago and it really wasn't all that good, which is quite a feat given it's Rollins.

I still think Bryan/Lesnar for the title, and Reigns/Rusev is the way to go. Rollins, I'm not sure, him vs Cena would probably be a great match but suffer from old Cenawinslol inevitably.
Reigns/Rusev is high profile enough and would be a good upper card win (given Rusev's undefeated streak has been really well built) because Reigns is simply not at all ready for any kind of main event or co-main event match.

Its just you have this list of guys and its going to be hard to put together a card where everyone has a match and plus you have the Undertaker doing another match as well.

Face: Bryan, Cena, Ziggler, Reigns, Ambrose, Undertaker, Sting and Orton
Heel: Rollins, Lesnar, Triple H, Bray, Rusev, Big Show Harper, BNB, Kane

You can see they are weak on the heel side for big matches. So some are not going to have the big match at Wrestlemania.

edit: Plus Bryan now has 2000 Y2J hair and hairstyle going

Anyone notice how when they added Seth Rollins to the Royal Rumble main event that they completely forgot that Cena / Lesnar / Rollins is the final battle for John Cena and Brock Lesnar?

I have a secret review coming but all I can tell you is that Matt Striker might be the worst color commentator I've ever heard.

I died a little inside every time Striker added faux-Japanese accent to puroresu or lariato. Or anyone's name in general. Or when JR put him in his place for using insider terms and he carried on doing it, the fuck. Also, "Blue Day-mon Jr". Ugh.

Wow Meltzer with the ROH burn on if NXT starts touring:

One thing notable is that if NXT were to tour, and at least as long as the top five guys listed are still on the roster, they are real competition to ROH because Zayn, Owens, Neville, Itami and Balor are all guys that are known to ROH fans and have as much or more star power to that audience than the guys ROH has.

I think it's really up in the air if Taker will be back. There's not really a point as far as the streak goes now, and it's not like he's in great condition physically.

I have it on good authority that Undertaker will not be returning to wrestling and is instead playing the cryptkeeper in a remake of the board game Nightmare.

They didn't forget, probably just realized Cena/Lesnar isn't the epic feud they try to sell it as.

Its basically for Undertaker its him versus Bray or nothing. If the Undertaker doesn't do the show who does Bray face?

If you go through the list most likely its either Ziggler or Orton. He has faced the rest and Reigns won't happen cause they want him to have a higher match on the card.

Внима́ние! Внима́ние! The following OT is dedicated to the leader of the free world, Vladimir Putin.

It's the road to Wrestlemania! The time of year where we all convince ourselves that THIS is the year where things get good. But don't worry, THIS is the year where things get good.

Daniel Bryan is back, 2014 was the very definition of a roller coaster for him, so it's great that he's finally returning to action at the Royal Rumble and we're all excited to see him main event Wrestlemania again, but I feel like I'm forgetting someone...

Pretty funny that they finally put Daniel Bryan's shirts back for sale on WWEShop and they're basically all on backorder. You'd think they could have prepared a little bit.

Proof that Dbry can't sell merch. Can't sell what's not there.

You might be interested in these Roman Reigns shirts though.

Indeed, the logical build up where Kane goes to both avenge Taker's loss against Brock and get his Wrestlemania moment will create tearful joyous memories that will last a lifetime, he then retires as WWE champ leaving it vacant for a tournament or something.

Wait until you watch the full match before judging.
His kicks at the start of the match look pretty weak.

Also, looks like he may have changed his moveset a biiiit...no missile drop kick, but a crooss body off the top instead. and no. Suicide dive (I know he did it on Raw), but a kick through the ropes instead.

...at least in this match.
