    MOD EDIT: Updated to include full PPV Card

    12 midnight - pre-show

    1am - main card

    Men's Royal Rumble match

    Women's Royal Rumble match

    Kevin Owens vs Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

    Alexa Bliss vs Bianca Belair for the WWE Raw Women's Championship

    Bray Wyatt vs LA Knight - Mountain Dew Pitch Black match.



    I know early as probably another 1 or 2 ppvs left before but is Becky and Cody the favs to return to win both rumbles?

    I'd be happy for Sami and Shayna to win

    I always predicted Cody winning this on his return but the pop for Sami if he wins it would be legendary.

    Sami not acknowledging his tribal chief and facing him at Wrestlemania is the storyline is make surely…

    Unless a certain Hollywood star makes himself available…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,553 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    ATM those 2 guys would be favourites but few other options for the mens

    Kevin Ownes wount be a bad winner

    Bray Wyatt maybe but we still have to see where that storyline is going

    Surly cant give it to Brock or a returning Randy Orton

    Could we see Roman actaully entering to show 'how strong a champion' he is with him winning but The Rock returns to face him ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    The Rock and Reigns if happening at WM does not need any title



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,791 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I'd agree, but I also feel given Reign's absolutely epic title run, bundling it off him at a lesser PPV than Mania, so he can do a Rock match, would be a real injustice to the title. Feels that if/when he loses, it should be at as big a show as possible.


    Rock/Reigns kind of books them into a corner in that regard.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,218 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    You'd have to figure that if it is Roman Reigns going against The Rock at mania it does make sense for Rock to return and win.

    It would be some what predictable but fanbase increases from rumble to mania. What perfect way to keep people's attention.

    Roman and Rock, IF it ever happens will 100% be for the belt. No ifs buts or maybes about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,812 ✭✭✭Sirsok


    Eddie Moment with Sami and Reigns as PPV before Mania.

    Rock interrupts Roman during match, sorted.....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    The current plan is for Roman Reigns to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Kevin Owens

    I'd love for Sami to win the rumble and face Reigns at WM, give him his WM moment, a huge pop

    Raquel vs. Ronda for the SD women’s title is the current plan

    Just a word about a usual issue that crops up every year round now.


    Please, please don’t post bookie odds. It goes beyond the usual type of pro wrestling spoiler, as usually they are very much spot on. I’ve edited the thread title to reflect this request.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,553 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Charlotte to return to win the women's match ?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,495 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Talks of the Rock returning to win the Rumble and take Reigns on at Mania is actually sickening. Rock doesn’t need a rumble win and Rock Reigns doesn’t need to be for the titles.

    If they are INSISTING on Rock Reigns they should have Jey win the rumble have Reigns make Jey give up his title shot saying no one from the bloodline would take on the chief, the rock then enters he challenges Reigns and it leaves tension between Jey and Reigns.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I think Sami winning the men's rumble to have a title match against Reigns as WM would be awesome, imho he has elevated the Bloodline with his addition and the storyline is there, he could be the top face in WWE, the WWE wasted Taker's streak on Lesnar who did not need the win



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭Blue_Dabadee


    They should do Ezekiel / Elias spot in Rumble match.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,317 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    I've always found the surprise return as the best aspect of the Rumble.

    Hard to think of anyone I'd pop for though (Santino maybe :))



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Rhea may enter both rumbles



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,198 ✭✭✭Ridley


    That would be a fresh way of bringing Rock in for WM (and spare me another repeat winner) if one of the Bloodline had to drop the WM shot. Was thinking a while back it would be interesting if Reigns cost the Usos the tag belts as punishment for... something.

    My thoughts were to possibly maybe have a woman win the men's Rumble so women's Raw and Smackdown WM matches are covered. (Or take away the women's Rumble and have whichever jaded woman topple the men's match.)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,967 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Really looking forward to this now under the new regime. So much so I just booked my flights and tickets as it's a bucket list item I've wanted to complete since I was about 4. Super reasonable too flights and hotel wise - thankful for the post Christmas economic slump!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I'd still love Sami to win but Cody seems likely

    I think Sami deserves a world singles title reign and win against Reigns for his great work

     Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight will be the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match

    Dew smell what the Mtn is promotin'?

    That poster sure is electrifying…..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,601 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So just confirming the Cody appearance. Plus a random Asuka appearance since she's been quiet these days.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens ( for one title or both titles? )



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,495 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,086 ✭✭✭Officer999


    Cody confirmed now for the Rumble. Can’t see anyone but him winning this.

    Sami the dark horse but can see him getting involved in the Reigns KO title match leading to him and KO vs the Usos at Mania.

    They are really pushing hyping Cody's return but I'd prefer Sami winning the men's rumble, I think the pop for him would be more than for Cody and he has done superb work with storytelling with both KO and The Bloodline, he is so damn good ucey



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,850 ✭✭✭StevenToast


    Vince to return as last out and claim the win.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,293 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Shane to take Vince's spot and Vince to come in as surprise 31st entrance.


    Can see Seth tossing Cody out just to screw with everyones expectations.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,553 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Could Randy return to win his 3rd rumble ?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,495 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Hopefully not. Randy Orton has no need to be in the WM title picture, way too many other better options out there, with Rhodes, Rollins and Zayn.

    As long as it's not the Rock winning I'll be happy enough.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,336 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    Surprise return of bastion booger at no 30 for the win.

    Some surprise indeed, considering he's been dead for 12 years!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,336 ✭✭✭Lewis_Benson


    Well, the undertakers been dead since 1990!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1




  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 54,202 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Rhea to win the women's. It's her time, she's been absolute money for months now and Bianca/Rhea at Mania ushers in the new generation post horsewomen nicely.

    Have a funny feeling they might build to a Ronda/Charlotte/Becky rematch on the Smackdown side but that's only a thought in my head right now based on Charlotte holding the Smackdown belt. Was sure it was gonna be Becky/Ronda up till Charlotte shat all over that on her return



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,121 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Ronda vs. Becky one on one needs to happen but not sure Ronda will do as Becks so over and popular also is Ronda off on a sulk WWE break?

    I agree Rhea needs to win the women's rumble and get the title at WM, she is the commander for JD, in reality their mammy papi leader

    I'm not trusting The Rock with all the stuff about his schedule been so busy



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,601 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    With all the packages for Cody, should we expect him to win or will a feud be setup by someone eliminating him or a continuing feud with Seth? There doesn't seem to be anyone talking about wanting to stop his return or anything and he was only in WWE long enough to feud with Seth.

    Hope they get his return out of the way early in the match. Seems he would want to be number 1 or 2 to get his full entrance. Means as well he can get a good run before being eliminated, if getting eliminated. Then have a big surprise entry later.

    Looking again at the Royal rumble poster on the previous page, how come Asuka is on it yet no sign of her on tv. Same with Brock being at the front.

    Matches so far:

    • Men's Rumble match
    • Women's Rumble match
    • Kevin Owens vs Roman Reigns for the title
    • Alexa vs Bianca for the Raw title
    • Bray Wyatt vs LA Knight in the Mountain Dew Pitch Black match.

    Of all the matches to have a sponsor attached to. Yes, let's stick that luminous liquid to a pitch black match, which I'm assuming will set out to be dark and spooky.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 25,495 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Mountain Dew have a drink called pitch black. So it’s a case of the match is called after the product.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,293 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    The lights will be the same shade as the drink would be my guess.


    This will be my last post on here until the event is over seeing as it was me that posted the odds post quite a few years ago now but yet again it's mentioned in the thread title.


    Enjoy the event next week I know I will.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,198 ✭✭✭Ridley


    I just sorta assumed it would be Raaandy/Riddle at WM but haven't been keeping track of them.

    Dominik Mysterio should win cause you learn about surviving being trapped with dozens of other desperate men on the inside.

    Suppose They could do joint-winners and have Reigns defend each belt on separate nights but if They're going to chip away at the championships like that, I'd rather he lost what looks like a unified title only to pull shenanigans after saying it was only for one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,553 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Hard for them to make Roman lose by pinfall but also look strong at the same time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,601 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Triple threat with 2 falls, one for each belt. Like Angle/Jericho/Benoit at WM 16. Angle was European and IC champ going in and left with neither due to Benoit pinning Jericho in the first fall and Jericho pinning Benoit for the second fall. So Angle lost both without being pinned.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 54,202 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Not really, give him the Lesnar treatment ala when Eddie won the belt. He hasn't been pinned in over three years if it took outside interference for him to finally lose he still looks strong in the aftermath and we get the belts off him, win win.
