Royal Rumble 2017 *Spoilers*

Imagine Cena as part of that group as a heel, mad for the 16th title that he just can't win but his sort of brother in law keeps giving him the chance to win it

If AJ was to retain his title and they go with Taker Cena on its own not for the title I'd love to see AJ vs Miz for the title at Mania

Have AJ turn face by saving Daniel Bryan from an attack by The Miz or something like that

Then have Bryan turn heel at mania and cost Styles the match. Miz/Bryan partnership

Austin/ vince handshake from wm17 all over again

A stable with Bryan leading "overlooked, underappreciated" stars who he favours while controlling SD. Miz as champ, Ziggler as the IC level guy, grab a tag team and a Diva.

Well, ****. Now thats what I want.

All of the above to borrow from The Miz would be AWESOME

Thanks to whoever created a separate thread for surprise appearances as I would like to avoid them but still talk about the Rumble.

Yeah. I'll be going dark in a few days with regards spoilers. Love being shocked and surprised by it

I'm expecting Reigns to lose too Owens due to outside interference filled by a massive beatdown. Then during the Rumble he hobbles to the ring as an entrant and goes on to win, because Vince knows we love an underdog

I was only talking about this earlier to a friend. I fear WWE are mad enough to do it as well :eek:

Furious-Red

Id love if they had Sami Zayn win the rumble as a complete surprise , then have Steph then try to be all nice and happy that he won the RR for RAW only for him to decide to go and challenge for the WWE title

JP Liz V1

If someone from Raw wins the RR, do they only have option to challenge for Raw world title or is both world titles an option?

They haven't really said, I think. Except for Goldberg saying he wants the Universal title, it's not been addressed.

Kick off show starts at 10:00, Main show starts at midnight.

PTH2009

I suggest watching a 1 hour doc called 'The True Story Of The Royal Rumble'. Its gives a small history of the event, stand out moments and a WWE 24 type look at the 2016 Royal Rumble

Available on DVD/Blu Ray and Amazon Video

CastorTroy

Maybe I missed it, but is this gonna be a 4 hour show? I assume so with a 12 start time

6 if you count the preshow that starts at 10.

Aye forgot that, I never bother with the pre-show.

Though I'll get my 6 hours with the 2 hour NXT Takeover: San Antonio, so that and the Rumble is good enough for me.

So is it three per category?

No three in total and points can't go over 10.

CastorTroy

Isn't there usually a sweepstake?

Was loking at the list of participants so far. 13 Raw and 8 SD, if you count Taker as SD and Goldberg as Raw.
How come all 3 New Day members are in, yet Enzo isn't?

PTH2009

So Mojo Rawley will be in the rumble match. Doubt he will win

Jerichoholic

Could they not have given the UK lads a bit of a showcase instead of Nia Jaxx and Sasha Banks?

Maybe they will do both (spots in the rumble still available though I'll leave that for the speculation thread)

Jerichoholic

They would just be geeks in the Rumble match, I mean a nice 6 man tag and let them go all out.

You doubt it? seriously? I think he's got a great chance. Top 3 favourite at least.

Lord TSC

Naomi, Nikki and Becky vs Mickie, Alexa and Nattie added to the card (I think to the pre-show)

Andersonisgod

6 hours! WWE greatly overestimates the stamina of its fans.

In one way you have to give them credit because this is legitimately the most unpredictable Rumble match in years. On the other hand, the very reason it's so unpredictable is because they've once again failed to build a single, standout full time star and thd question is will they let one of the old part timers challenge for, and win, a World Title at Wrestlemania. In a topsy-turvy way, WWE's booking failures throughout the year leads to a more exciting match.

sky88

except for the rumble and AJ/cena i have no interest in the rest of the card.

PTH2009

So the following are in the rumble

The Undertaker
Goldberg
Brock Lesnar
Big Show
Dean Ambrose
The Miz
Sami Zayn
Dolph Ziggler
Big E
Xavier Woods
Kofi Kingston
Bray Wyatt
Randy Orton
Luke Harper
Mojo Rawley
Braun Strowman
Chris Jericho
Baron Corbin
Cesaro
Sheamus
Big Cass
Rusev
(22)

8 Spots remain

PTH2009

have a feeling Seth Rollins will turn heel and attack Sami Zayn backstage and take his place or he will attack James Ellsworth (or someother low card superstar) and takes his place in the match. A returning Finn Balor or an interfereing Triple H will cost rollins the match

sky88

Honestly they could put in 8 jobbers and this would be the strongest line up ever cant remember one like this before.
