Friends, I have returned for my annual Royal Rumble-to-WM "Give the WWE one more chance to reel me in" viewing period.

I haven't watched hardly any WWE in a while but the Rumble looks fun.

Any chance any of these show up?

Angle
Joe
Nakamura
Balor

If it's a waste of hype I won't bother looking for these dudes.

Joe, Nakamura, and Balor for sure. Not sure about Angle!

 

[fhqwhgads]

Has Jax got a single strong reaction since she came to Raw? Crowd didn't care for her at all tonight.

 

[GunBR]

Steph gonna emasculate Seth tomorrow on Raw...great

 

[Tom Nook]

Seth is Banned?

Sure.....

 

[sora87]

Seth gonna come in on a giant crossfit machine on wheels

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

nxt isnt canon anyway

I think last night finally confirms it is just with the occasional retcon.

 

[TheFuzz]

Joe & Balor are IMO likely, the other two not so much.

Nice. I wanna see Balor v Taker. Any chance that is a potential plan for WM?

 

[ReiGun]

Nia is too fine and clearly too nice to play a convincing monster. Her in-ring skills are probably a lost cause, but they could at least fix her character.

That confirmed Seth is interfering in the Rumble.

Heath was so over right after the draft, too. Seems like such a waste for them to waste his free agent angle on a meaningless tag title reign with Rhyno.

They put so much work into him too. Man got vignettes, they hired people to play his family, he got new merch, new entrance graphics.

And then they just stopped all that. And they sank the whole tag division on SD because they couldn't get American Alpha over in the same way. Pretty damn bizarre the way all that played out.

 

[Pikma]

I expected HHH to admit he was wrong about Seth being "The Man" on that promo but he never did lol

I forgot The Game is never wrong

 

[GunBR]

Nice. I wanna see Balor v Taker. Any chance that is a potential plan for WM?

If the

Spoiler

Roman

vs Taker rumors are bs, then Balor has a good chance

 

[UberTag]

Seth is Banned?

Sure.....

They're going to force-feed us yet another Triple H program heading into Mania. We're going to be absolutely sick of hype for this match before it ever happens.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Wait, did Nia v Sasha already happen?

Did Sasha get squashed?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Seth throws out HHH to win the royal rumble.

 

[krae_man]

Did someone do Rumble numbers for everyone?

 

[LiQuid!]

Why did Renee just bury Sami?

 

[ReiGun]

Whole pre-show shitting on Sami Zayn.

 

[esmith08734]

This sandbagging of Sami is interesting..

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

They're going to force-feed us yet another Triple H program heading into Mania. We're going to be absolutely sick of hype for this match before it ever happens.

Rollins and Reigns hgeadlining Mania.

Rollins winning tonight.

$2 bet

 

[Chopper]

What did Steph say? My Network feed cut out.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Shit Renee, don't you remember how chill Sami was with you on NXT?

 

[Mahonay]

Has Jax got a single strong reaction since she came to Raw? Crowd didn't care for her at all tonight.

No. She's awful and hasn't progressed whatsoever. I don't understand why they push her so hard. Because she's big? That worked in 1990.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

KEEP SHITTING ON SAMI

KEEP IT UP

JUST WAIT TILL HE WINS THE WORLD RUMBLE ROYAL CHAMPIDOSMvz

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

If Nia is so tough why isn't she going after Charolotte?

 

[Tom Nook]

Did someone do Rumble numbers for everyone?

We had a total of 34 entrants into the 2017 WrassleGaf Royal Ramble Lethal Lottery. I used a random number generator to pick a number between 1 and 30 for each of the first group of 30. I made sure there was no overlap. I then went and did a random number between 1 and 30 for each of the overflow participants. Some numbers are assigned to two people...that's just how it goes.

I've found in the past this can add extra enjoyment to the Rumble as you find yourself rooting for someone you never thought you would before.

Root for whoever comes out at your number to win and enjoy the Rumble!

[Violence Jack]

Sami's winning. Book it.

 

[esmith08734]

What did Steph say? My Network feed cut out.

Seth is banned from Rumble, she will address him tomorrow at RAW.

 

[Kaladin]

Over 50,000 apparently now

 

[TheFuzz]

If the

Spoiler

Roman

vs Taker rumors are bs, then Balor has a good chance

Wait, they'd actually book that (the spoiler)??

Isn't

Spoiler

Roman

still a joke? How would that match work without him being heel?

 

[bbd23]

man cant believe its been a year already

AJ really is the best

 

[UberTag]

KEEP SHITTING ON SAMI

KEEP IT UP

JUST WAIT TILL HE WINS THE WORLD RUMBLE ROYAL CHAMPIDOSMvz

Sami and Orton will be the last 2 left in the ring to troll us.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

The 18 year veteran!

 

[Chopper]

Seth is banned from Rumble, she will address him tomorrow at RAW.

Ugh.

 

[Lothar]

Wait, did Nia v Sasha already happen?

Did Sasha get squashed?

Yes. She had a good career but it's done now.

 

[Morfeo]

I figured Nia was winning, but that jobbing was just sad for the Boss

 

[Wagram]

Sasha did some great selling in that match. Shame she was relegated to a shitty pre-show squash though. Nia's never going to be anything with the audience.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Cena and Styles are gonna steal the show tonight these 2 have perfect chemistry in the ring.

 

[njean777]

AJ best champ.

 

[Tagyhag]

30. Zach

There is some Kliq tomfoolery going on here.

 

[Heroman]

How was that Nai match?

 

[TimeEffect]

We'll definitely see Joe debut. So it'll be a worthy Rumble.

Its pretty cool they debut hot stars at the rumble. AJ was great and Joe can be too

 

[Mahonay]

Ugh.

He already lost his Rumble spot to Sami so he wasn't going to be in it.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

Wait, they'd actually book that (the spoiler)??

Isn't

Spoiler

Roman

still a joke? How would that match work without him being heel?

Vince is so desperate to get his man crush Roman over he will try anything. Yet I'm shocked that even Vince would be delusional enough to believe that having Roman retire Taker at Mania would be a good strategy to get him over.

 

[Beefy]

Man all of Cena's promos have been heel like.

 

[ReiGun]

I can see Sami coming in at 1 or 2 and lasting till the final four. He won't win, but that seems like the kind of thing they'd do with him.

 

[Morfeo]

How was that Nai match?

A squash

 

[Skatterd]

If AJ wins tonight Sami is winning the rumble.
Book it.

 

[robotrock]

this WWE site does not want me to subscribe. any tips?

 

[Mahonay]

How was that Nai match?

Boring as shit.

 

[GunBR]

Roman

Vince still thinks that he can make him become the new Cena

I was trying to find this earlier. I guess I just missed it this year.
