Man. Ronday would be a great fucking heel if she could embrace her inner crybaby about getting knocked out.

But she is too insecure, sadly.

I mean you cant turn her until youve blown your load on your night one draw. After that she has no value though and turning is probably best because your live crowds are going to shit on her after they see her exposed in a match.

Asuka tapping out Rousey and Rousey being a total cunt about it would actually interest me a lot.

Rousey will end up heel.

I'm still a firm believer of the tradition that winning the Rumble to "headline Wrestlemania" means being in the final match.
Honestly... AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura would be so, completely and totally "out there" compared to what we usually get in the main event, that I would fucking LOVE for that to close the show. And I'm "meh" about Nakamura. |

Nakamura is probably going to have a grand entrance. If Taker isn't wrestling and Vince doesn't feel like putting Brock and Reigns out there last, it could technically close the show. Weirder things have happened. Cena didn't close out every Mania. Smart money is on Brock/Reigns being the last match, but maybe nobody feels like following Styles/Nakamura? Once you have the people in, they aren't going anywhere.

Rey Mysterio has always had that appeal to low socio-economic families, which probably translates to lots of YouTube views.

Does Rey Mysterio appeal to Mexican aristocrats?

I wonder if they will put D Bryan in the WWE Championship match as a referee.

Rumor going around the net regarding the Women's Rumble implies the only reason the Bellas were in the Final 3 and Nikki eliminating Brie was due to Total Divas wanting a big Rumble storyline for an upcoming season and it had to involve the Bellas.

I'm sure there's truth in that, but let's not pretend that Nikki Bella isn't the highest paid full-time woman they've got and that they absolutely adore their Bella drama.

Bellas are extremely recognizable. That show is pretty over. Nikkis pop was huge.

I think people look past its scope because Nikki is objectively horrible. Watering that "Total" garden is probably going to keep the WWE pretty healthy for years to come. Nikki needs to be out there "fueling her star" in order to keep generating it.

I like the idea of Roode doing a US Open Challenge. Him beating Cole in that environment wouldn't have sucked.

Oh, missed that part. I imagine they could have, given that they don't really have to keep a watch anymore.

A thing that happened at the Royal Rumble that was overshadowed by like everything else, but still somewhat worth mentioning: Kelly Kelly still can't run ropes.
I mention this because it came up in a thread somewhere a few days ago before her "surprise" entry in said Rumble about how awful her shit was, and lo and behold, it's still shitty after all these years. |

But yeah, all that buzz and speculation, and they wasted it on a weaksause payoff. Kinda like CM Punk "leaving" with the title and basically just taking a week and a half vacation. |
