I still maintain the reason for the trial was a bit weak. It was an excellent segment for sure, but everything they used as reasoning for it was circumstantial at best.
I am very amused that Nick Aldis’s wiki page lists him at 7’4” and 340 lbs and nobody has bothered to visit his page to correct it. He’s THAT uninteresting.
If Rhea isn't going to be the winner, I hope it's because of a Beth interference and program. But then do you have win? Naomi/Bianca at Mania could be fun.
I agree, tag teams don't need to fill spots. I'm cool with it if a tag team has been around for a while and they announce they want to try singles stuff, but Profits and Alpha haven't hinted at that.
And so it begins... I believe the last four standing will be Brock, Seth, Cody and Sami. If Vince were still in charge, I have no doubts that Lesnar would eliminate all of them and headline yet another WM. Having HHH as head of creative, I hope we can finally see his protégé have is WrestleMania main event. If not, the safe bet is Sami, he's been the very best of Smackdown for the past six months at least, and would give us an amazing storyline up until april.
I wish there could be a second discussion thread where spoilers are strictly banned. I wanna discuss what's going on but without seeing folks spoiling stuff as if everyone already knows
Spoilers are apparently banned in this thread, but I guess the mods don't consider leaked match order to be a spoiler. Which they really should. I didn't want to know the match order ahead of time and came here because I saw it says spoilers will be removed, but then I just see everyone saying the match order.
I'd love Shane to be the comedy spot return just for HHH to prove a point that he's in charge. Shane comes in at #1, immediately is eliminated by Brock at #2. Brock just leans against the ropes waiting by himself for 3 minutes.
The more you get into wrestling and the deeper into fandom you realize most of the disappointment is fan fantasy booking not happening. If you just take the show at face value and appreciate real workrate when you get it. The experience is soooo much purer and better. Everybody wants to hold the book. .
Agree. If you just stay off the dirt sheets and don't really listen to outcasts it's actually a better product because you aren't disappointed in something that didn't happen
I think that if the Men's RR is the first match on the show, it can't be THAT big a winner. Or it would kill the rest of the show. I think a heel is going to have to win.
A couple years ago I did a Royal Rumble predictions thing someone had posted on here, where it made a little game out of predicting the matches, surprise entrants, most eliminations etc.
Binge in Australia now has a 24 hour WWE channel, and I'm watching the Table For 3 with Ziggler, Bryan and Ryback. I forgot how fucking funny that episode was.
i wish these PPVs started a bit earlier, i probably won’t be able to stay up until 4am 😂 plus i will have to have the tv on real quiet as my dad is in the next room trying to sleep, jealous of all you american people who get to chill in your front room with a takeaway watching the wrestling at a normal hour
Something I figured out when my kids were babies and stayed in our room cause it was easier when I was breastfeeding is that you can get a Bluetooth transmitter for like 10 bucks to plug in your TV and connect headphones.

BANGER of an opener.
Pat entering the Rumble later?
Ok gtfo Corey. No one wants you.
Lol fuckin Cole acting like Indy isn't like a couple hr flight from San Antonio
Yay the goat announcer is back to reclaim his rightful place.
MCAFEE MANIA BITCHES.
Third Hardy brother?
Kid Rock changed his name to Hardy?
this hardy guy is one of the most chumpy looking musicians I've seen in a long time
Maybe spooky Alexa will summon murder asuka
I'd love to see Big E show up, but I won't hold my breath.
TURDY MAN
Yooo the Men's Rumble opening?
SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK

I can't believe Madcap is in there over Nakamura, Ali or Ziggler, or even Lumis, but I guess they need people for easy eliminations.
Wait wasn't Johnny Gargano supposed to be injured for a few more weeks? Wondering if some of those faces on the graphic are placeholders
He was back on Raw recently but I can't remember if he got physical
Booker t sounds like he's jealous of Dom too 🤣
Gabriel could make a good buzzer sound
Fluffy is about to announce his entry to the Rumble.
Fluffy
So that's where Snoop Doggs belt ended up
Leaked Rumble entrant:
A broken neck would have probably stopped you, Cody. Just sayin
I still think Dustin is better than Cody even at old age. Bring back The Natural!
The obvious pick for the rumble winner is Cody. Lol honestly I'll be surprised if it's anyone else
I always get so worried for those fan spots because sometimes they'll just freeze up and not know what to do
Anybody have an idea of the card order? I haven’t watched WWE in forever and I just wanna watch both men and women’s rumbles
https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/10nrqun/royal_rumble_spoilers_official_match_order_for/
Has Bianca been a heel since joining the main roster?
I hate everything that Jerry Lawler has become.
"Become a psyyyyyyyycho?"
Kinda interesting that Howdy could be involved in 2 matches tonight. It'll feel weird if there's no shenanigans in Alexa's match.
can this show please start with the Mens Rumble
It is
Hahaha what why is JBL pieing people now
If anybody would like to replicate the beginning of Bray's theme, his this up..
I hope murder asuka wins the rumble and then murders Charlotte for ending the streak
La knight needs to be used more can be so great as a midcard/ gate keeper heel
fuckkk me, i'm so excited for this ngl
I can't remember the last time I was this hype for a show. And the past few months have been mad exciting
Let me talk to ya.
Jey remember when Roman tried to murder you in Hell in a Cell??? You don't think he'll do it again??? Be careful Uce
IT'S FIGHT NIGHT
Jey just keeps asking for trouble
My pizza just arrived and I want to eat it when the Rumble starts. I don't have foil, best method to keep it hot???
Sit on it.
Low heat oven
in the oven on your lowest... like 200 prolly
Microwave until it's basically at out-of-oven heat?
Would keeping it in the oven work?
I feel like every Rumble should have 5 surprise entrants. There ain't no damn reason for Madcap Moss to be there lmao
Yeah madcrap doesn't need to be there
Omg is Madcap confirmed?? Please no
i always forget about him. not that he was great with Corbin, but he's pretty forgettable this run.
Welp, no McAfee as a surprise entrant tonight lol
I am very amused that Nick Aldis’s wiki page lists him at 7’4” and 340 lbs and nobody has bothered to visit his page to correct it. He’s THAT uninteresting.
"Nick Aldis is a free agent"
3 entrants unannounced for the men's Rumble. That's so fucking stupid man
THE RIP
If Rhea isn't going to be the winner, I hope it's because of a Beth interference and program. But then do you have win? Naomi/Bianca at Mania could be fun.
I'd prefer Naomi v Charlotte tbh but that'd be too risky for Charlotte's face status
I would say don’t count out Liv
Love the Austin looking at his non-existent watch gif
Poor Titus lol
HICKENBOTTOM. LEVESQUE. MEET ME AT THE ALAMO!!!!!
Wtf even is a voodoo kin
HIIIIIGH NOON!!
If the glass breaks tonight so might i
I'm worried about Uncle Howdy...
Sooo there's what, 5 free spots now? Fucking hell man. Gable and Otis have no need to be in there
I agree, tag teams don't need to fill spots. I'm cool with it if a tag team has been around for a while and they announce they want to try singles stuff, but Profits and Alpha haven't hinted at that.
Thought there were only like 19 confirmed so far. Guessing we'll see Riddle and Randy both return amongst a few legends/comedic relief.
Every Rumble should have at least one comedy spot.
SHOOOOOOOOOSH!
Praying for a John Morrison return
This is my third main roster WWE show in 3 years and they've all been Rumbles lol
I just watch the Rumble and Mania anymore. Trimmed off SummerSlam a 2-3 years ago as that has clearly become a B-show.
Alright Barret-Jackson goes to the small screen and Royal Rumble pre-show is now on the big screen😛
Tag teams in the Rumble? Ehhhh
when is the main show starting?
8 pm est
Pre show just started. Actual show should start in about an hour.
Kevin Patrick has totally done Sheamus cosplay at home
ADRENALINE
Jesus dude 😂
OWW MY HOLE
Royal Rumble is my wrestlemania
And so it begins... I believe the last four standing will be Brock, Seth, Cody and Sami. If Vince were still in charge, I have no doubts that Lesnar would eliminate all of them and headline yet another WM. Having HHH as head of creative, I hope we can finally see his protégé have is WrestleMania main event. If not, the safe bet is Sami, he's been the very best of Smackdown for the past six months at least, and would give us an amazing storyline up until april.
Booker can barely keep his eyes open
I'm genuinely so so exited for tonight and I can't wait to spend it with you guys!
Same friend 🤙
Kayla! Kayla!
HEY KAYLA
At the ALAMO!
HICKENBOTTOM!
My kid is listening to Cody's theme on repeat right now. Cody's over with the third grade crowd.
Hey guys. Just realised the Rumble is on today. What time does it start? Soon or do we have about an hour?
Pre show just started. Main show starts in an hour
Kickoff just started, one hour to go
Pre show is one hour right? How long will the main PPV run? (Late here in Italy).
3 full hours at least. 2 Rumbles and 2 championship matches.
Between 2 and half to 3 hours probably.
My picks are Rollins and Rhea
Does the main show start at 8 est?
Yes
Is there a preshow?
I wish there could be a second discussion thread where spoilers are strictly banned. I wanna discuss what's going on but without seeing folks spoiling stuff as if everyone already knows

I didn't want to know the match order ahead of time and came here because I saw it says spoilers will be removed, but then I just see everyone saying the match order.
Is it 12 or 1am U.K. time
1AM for us, the kick off show is starting now
Preshow starts now
Thank fuck for binge in australia, probably the best streaming service we have now.
i'm watching the 24/7 foxtel channel
Can't wait to see how HHH does the RR with full control
I'd love Shane to be the comedy spot return just for HHH to prove a point that he's in charge. Shane comes in at #1, immediately is eliminated by Brock at #2. Brock just leans against the ropes waiting by himself for 3 minutes.
Is the women's rumble gonna open like it did last year?
Men’s to open
ahh damn. turned on the 24/7 australian WWE channel and we have table for 3 with Bryan, Ziggler and fucking ryback. hope its not an omen
WABBIT SEASON
L👉A👉Knight. YEAH
[удалено]
Gillberg confirmed
Hornswoggle confirmed
This beat slaps tho
A heavy metal version of the music that plays while Peacock waits to start the broadcast wouldn’t make a bad entrance theme
The more you get into wrestling and the deeper into fandom you realize most of the disappointment is fan fantasy booking not happening. If you just take the show at face value and appreciate real workrate when you get it. The experience is soooo much purer and better. Everybody wants to hold the book. .
The problem is the last years of Vince's booking has been terrible endings like that bullshit Demon Finn Balor rope break ending.
Agree. If you just stay off the dirt sheets and don't really listen to outcasts it's actually a better product because you aren't disappointed in something that didn't happen
Triple H interferes cost KO the title joins the bloodline as Triple Uce
[удалено]
Its going on first.
Rumor is that it’ll be the first match this year.
What’s everyone eating tonight for the rumble?
Nashville hot chicken sandwich and Nashville tots. cheesecake for dessert
Watching with my girlfriend, we're gonna get Buffalo Wild Wings doordashed
Trader Joe's Onion Dip and their Jalapeno Artichoke dip are two must haves for big PPVs/PLEs
No dinner for me, only fluids the doctor said 🍺
Got a homemade deep dish pizza in the oven with some fries and a couple cold ones. Ready to have a good night.
Cheeseburgers, but on the stove instead of grilled because there’s a blizzard outside.
Tacos
Son is on his way with Little Cesar’s and crazy bread :)
Week old Cheesecake
pizza but im already full lol
Week old cheesecake.
Week old cheesecake
Gotta go with the classic pizza party at our house!
Lasagna
Zaxbys buffalo tenders and pizza
Bombay Mix
Nachooooos
Thinking of putting a bet on Sasha at 50-1 to win the Rumble.
Anyone from the old school IWC days remember Reymon14 on YouTube?
Plz don’t let it be Brock
Nah, Brock’s going to be in a program with Lashley and not going after Roman right now.
Alright, here's my last minute hopes.
I think that if the Men's RR is the first match on the show, it can't be THAT big a winner. Or it would kill the rest of the show. I think a heel is going to have to win.
I doubt its first. I think its Womens rumble, Pitch black, Womens title, Mens rumble, Mens title
A couple years ago I did a Royal Rumble predictions thing someone had posted on here, where it made a little game out of predicting the matches, surprise entrants, most eliminations etc.
There was something similar posted earlier, I’m sure you can search it and find it
Binge in Australia now has a 24 hour WWE channel, and I'm watching the Table For 3 with Ziggler, Bryan and Ryback. I forgot how fucking funny that episode was.

Pre-gaming(?) by binging
so hear me out. Minoru Suzuki comes out then the Great Muta and they recreate the 2008 Piper/Snuka spot, get eliminated and leave. Best Rumble EVER
i wish these PPVs started a bit earlier, i probably won’t be able to stay up until 4am 😂 plus i will have to have the tv on real quiet as my dad is in the next room trying to sleep, jealous of all you american people who get to chill in your front room with a takeaway watching the wrestling at a normal hour
can you wear headphones?
Something I figured out when my kids were babies and stayed in our room cause it was easier when I was breastfeeding is that you can get a Bluetooth transmitter for like 10 bucks to plug in your TV and connect headphones.
[удалено]
Need broody vignettes of Roman staring in a mirror asking of it matters that everyone else acknowledges him if he can't acknowledge himself.
kool-aid man to run interference during the mountain dew match
Oh yeah!
Anyone know the order of the card tonight? I won't be able to start watching until 830 or 9 and don't want to miss either of the rumbles
Lots of people saying it was confirmed the mens is first, so you might be out of luck dude.
I heard the men's is opening.
Main card start time ?
8 EST
Does the show start at 7?
Pre Show at 7 EST. Show starts at 8 EST.
The preshow starts in 3 minutes, the main show starts in one hour and three minutes.
Preshow. 5pm is official start time
