No good without a buzzer.

Guys ,

Cena at 12/1 with PP.

Yes or no.

CastorTroy

I say "no" to posting odds in here.
So if that's going to happen, I'm backing out of this thread

Lord TSC

Mod Hat on: Lads and lasses, please keep betting odds out of this thread. They tend not to be "speculative spoilers" but full on ones, as they usually are bang on the money. There's a seperate thread to discuss betting odds, found here:

https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056587637&page=61

I've placed the above behind a spoiler warning too (though, mod hat off, anyone keeping the vaguest track of wrestling news would avoid that bet like the plague..... :P)

ebbsy

Apologies for the betting talk.

Seen the rumour mill has run a mile with

Roman

being a possible entrant. The rag sites don't even have the bottle to mention him out right and instead are being coy because they know how ludicrous it is.

bigron2109

Anyone think Adam Cole or The Dream will be in the Rumble tonight? Both didn't wrestle at Takeover last night.

EDIT : Just coped they are in that Worlds Collide Tournament. Probably rules them out.

HandsomeBob

Cole was in the rumble last year so would be no surprise. Velveteen sure why not.

martyos121

There’s always at least one NXT guy in the Rumble, I’m sure this year will be no different. Last year we had Andrade and Cole, Dillinger in 2017, Zayn in 2016, nobody in 2015 but Rusev was in the year before that.

I’d be very surprised if we don’t see Dream in it tonight, don’t think Cole will be given the chance two years in a row.

Love the rumble match but im still undecided if i'll get the network back to watch, could be a last minute decision

My stream for NXT was so bad last night I’m tempted to start WWE network again, they are consistent at least

I think it's appropriate to post this video give the day that's in it. Now obviously you need to imagine vince shouting over the music and nearly having a banger saying the worlds royal rumble. Ah good times.

RobbingBandit

Hoping it's a surprise winner tonight someone unexpected but with the ability to carry the potential match at mania and the next 9 weeks of build up.

I'm hoping Brock Vs Finn is match of the night rather than a squash. I'm wanting Miz and Shane O"Mac vs The Bar puts on a good show too.

sirmanga

AJ Styles appearing on Steven Crowder this week, and fully coming out of the closet as a conservative, made me love him even more.

Also, it helps build his match with Bryan.

Bryan is playing the ultimate whiny, coastal SJW. And AJ is the baseball cap wearing, religious redneck.

And AJ is the face.

It's been a while since WWE got the heel/face dynamic this spot on.

Necro

Ugh I feel so dirty re-ordering the WWE Network but I just couldn't help myself.

Some treats in and planning what pizza to order at the moment.

There's talk about a $19.99 'premium' WWE Network being announced after the rumble. I have a pizza here too

It's only a matter of time before they start tiering the services in fairness, surprised it hasn't been done already.

Anyone else prefer the Rumble to Mania itself?

It's like pre drinks compared to an actual night out

It's almost more fun thinking about what XYZ vs Lesnar will be and what it will be like, like I was way happier at Nakamura winning the Rumble and setting up the match vs Styles than at any stage during the actual match

It's my favourite PPV. Finn in the title match makes it even better for me

Necro

I prefer the actual Rumble matches much more than almost anything at Mania.

For the spectacle though, Mania trumps the Rumble as an overall event. IMO, anyways.

My favourite part of Mania is the special entrances which really make it a spectacle, too much though you get the big fight type entrances only to then have to sit through a slow rest heavy HHH match, at least at the Rumble when you get the surprise of the music they're in action straight away

On the pizza front - chicago town, or load up one of the cheap aldi ones with enough extra cheese that half of it doesnt cook :pac:

Out of curiosity, are most of ye watching it live and heading into work tomorrow then? Fair fks if if you are. Nice 5pm (2pm) start here. I struggled with the live ppvs back in tne day even as a young lad

martyos121

Not in until Wednesday this week, so I’ll be here all night and tomorrow for the post Rumble Raw.

Yep always my favourite ppv of the year, not so much these days, old enough to remember the 1st, (good god) and Hacksaw Jim Duggan, 97 probably my favourite, although 92 was good to, apart from Hogan helping Flair by getting Sid over the rope was a bit meh

So yeah here all night!

Yea im trying to think what pizza to get too (although ive to try get it delivered to the door without waking the parents up ha)

Chancer3001

Is there any reason dolph ziggler won't be in the rumble match??

Furious-Red

I have a feeling if there is an NXT superstar in the rumble i feel it might be Aliester Black

RollieFingers

Velveteen Dream

J. Marston

Apache pizza. BBQ sauce, cajun chicken, sausage and Bourbon BBQ beef and garlic cheese chips. Starving already.

G'wan Finn and Becky. Boo the Woo. Dream and Io to be the NXT entrants.

Necro

Do EC3 and the other guys count as NXT these days? I'd say a few of them will show up in the Rumble.

Lithium93_

So according to Sean Ross Sapp,

the men's Rumble match is currently set to main event the PPV

I dont think so since technically they have left NXT already , id say all the NXT call ups will be in the rumble.

SureYWouldntYa

So what are people’s final predictions for the Rumbles?

I think we’ll get 1 winner the fans will be happy with and 1 where we wont be as much - it’ll be either Rollins and Charlotte/Nia, or Becky and Strowman

CastorTroy

Lacey and Nikki

are in the promo shot for the women's rumble anyway.

Off tomorrow but will wait until tomorrow to watch since can fast forward through some of it. I enjoy the Rumble matches because of surprise entrants and the entrances are close enough together to keep things moving, for the most part.
And this year I have no idea who will win.

The bigger question is, is there any reason he should be in it

CastorTroy

I'm assuming preshow at 10 and main show at 12?

Assumed correctly.

Aye, just watching last night's NXT as a warm up

On a "hiatus", rumoured that he wants out of his contract to go to AEW.

Mr_Man2121

How to I add spoiler tags on mobile?

turdball

Think I'll have a double hot whiskey now and go to bed. Up at 12, Bed at four, Up for half seven.

Wish Now I just booked a half day off. Won't make the same mistake for Mania.

Well bollox to that. I bet 50 euro that he'd be in the rumble

John Cena will not compete in the Royal rumble according to the WWE

PTH2009

Had a quick nap up now

Can't wait for this

Bit of talk about

Roman Reigns

being a surprise entrant.

If so, I'd imagine

he

would have to be favourite to win it.
