Yeah, it's a terrible idea on numerous levels that sucks all the tension out of the next PPV.

which one of the Vaudevillians is that?
I'm sure he can still run around, punch, kick and try to eliminate someone before getting eliminated himself.

I think a Cena heel turn/Styles face turn is plausible, and I definitely think Styles can be the "face to run the place".
The one that's more related to Eddie Guerrero than Sasha Banks thinks she is.
That says more than most of the boring main roster guys.

I am utterly baffled as to why Orton's odds are so high. He's been in the midcard for months and hasn't even aimed for the title since his return. It's painfully obvious they'll have the Orton/Bray match at Mania and there's no indication it would involve the title, since the crumbling of the Wyatt Family is working well enough as a story as it is.
I could see either Reigns or Cena winning the belt but it certainly won't be both, and there's zero chance Randy is walking out with the Rumble win.

Dave Meltzer posted a rumor that he's slated to win.

Got you some hot verbiage.

That is fucking bullshit. This Rumble is stacked. Why go with the lamest possible denominator?!

Has there been any build up at all for an Orton win? Sounds completely nonsensical.

I figured a Smackdown guy would win the rumble (Raw people can just force their way into any title shot, why waste the win on them), but Orton? Huh. Sure.

I just wanted AJ in a title match at WM whether it's him defending or him trying to win it back from Cena. If the rumor is true, I would have to imagine it's not against AJ.

If Cena beats AJ and Orton wins the Rumble, I see no way that Fumble at the Rumble 3 doesn't lead into Cena/Orton Forever War Chapter 45,972,349,072,590,785,094,375,890,234 for our Wrestlemania main event.
Why the flying fuck would they do such a thing?

Do people even care about Orton anymore? I remember the Evolution and the Legend Killer stuff was entertaining, but he just seems to have gone....boring since then.

A Miz troll with Daniel Bryan's music would undoubtedly be... AWESOME. Imagine how apoplectic the crowd would be if Kurt Angle was alone in the ring and the YES YES YES music comes on only for The Miz to waltz out.
The heat would be off the charts.
Yeah, no.
At least that's what's gonna happen in Vince's twisted mind.

Rich Swann deserves better.
I really like him. Outside of the big, well known names in the CWC, I thought he stood out the most.
Well, him and Cedric.
It would work sooooo good for Miz. People would lose their shit!

Randy has always been boring in the ring and TBH not that great on the mic for the most part but some good segments, face or heel it doesn't really matter. The only time he was IMO interesting was back when he was punting mothertruckers and it actually took them out for a while. When it started to become more of a mild convenience and then it got taken away from him he's been back to "meh city" with me. Randy "Fundamentally Sound" Orton.
Granted I've never been a fan of his going back to when he was in OVW so. ¯\_(ツ_/¯

_/¯Randy is always able to put on a consistently good match and make it look easy- it's that he has to be motivated to get any further than that.Randy has always been boring in the ring and TBH not that great on the mic for the most part but some good segments, face or heel it doesn't really matter.

Vince: Wrong! It will be chapter 45,972,349,072,590,785,094,375,890,231 NOT 45,972,349,072,590,785,094,375,890,234 in this money making fued. You will like it!

This would be amazing, and that's why it won't happen.
Still waiting for this personally.
Edit: Vince better have contingency plans if Tye Dillinger's not in the rumble. Every person coming out to 10, 10, 10, 10, 10 is either going to be hilarious or the worst.
Terry Funk is here!

If he does win, I might recommend trading in your tickets and buying some for the ACTUAL biggest show of the year.
Did Christian get a single pinfall victory in that feud?

I don't remember the RAW After Mania being so hot last year.
Not a single one. And yet, despite the one-sided booking, that feud was red hot fire with some incredible matches. They worked amazingly off one another.

Still hotter than 'Mania itself (though that wasn't hard to pull off after that stinker of a show).

Remember when Christian lost his World Title like the next day and he told everyone to wait for the payoff. LOL

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
How does that work with a Raw after Mania AND a SmackDown after WM?If he does win, I might recommend trading in your tickets and buying some for the ACTUAL biggest show of the year.
They've been pretty tight about keeping the lines up between the brands so far.

I'm thinking Goldberg and Lesnar take each other out and Undertaker and Strowman are the last 2 standing and I actually think Strowman will win.
Joe will probably make it into the rumble, it's a shame Austin Aries is injured, I'd love to see him make the jump to the main roster too and be in the rumble.

During the brand split era the lines would usually blur a hell of a lot once Mania season hit full swing and wouldn't re-solidify until after Backlash/Extreme Rules. Wouldn't be surprised it that pattern repeats here.

lol I know right. Although, last years wasn't so good if I remember. Yeah, hopefully it's not Orton though.

I'm rewatching Rumble 2015 and remembering how terrible it went. It amazing. I would pay any money for a actual backstage documentary/commentary about that hour of drizzling shit.
It is a great warning to not get too excited about this event

It's the Rumble in modern WWE, so despite the winner being unclear at the moment we will be disappointed one way OR ANOTHER.

When is the last time we weren't disappointed with the Rumble winner.
Hoping for the best never works out.

Sami Zayn... draws #1 and breaks Mysterio's 11-year record for longest amount of time in the Rumble match.
It comes down to him and Braun Strowman. He wins and challenges AJ Styles for the WWE Title at Mania and they put on a MOTY 5-star clinic.

Thanks. Man that seth match ender sounds like it was awful lol. I wonder what the odds are for Cena beating AJ. I'd think they would be saving his title win for wrestlemania
