Levi usually runs it so it's open for him to do it again if he wants, otherwise I'll pop one up over the weekend! Just a bit of fun to root for some randoms we get :P.

At the moment, I hope HHH doesn't win it with Brock there to be Reign's foil :P. Although they always seem down to certain people, so a shock win I'd be all for. Throw a surprise for some fun and unpredictability going forward I say.

Yeah WWE hurting a bit but I expect some recent signings to come in this Rumble to surprise! I miss Cesaro and Kidd, was fun to watch them last year while they were together (and even separate when Kidd was in NXT).

AJ Styles!

Strong and reliable rumors are that AJ Styles is now named CJ Fashion. Like flowering really?

My gut feel is all the ingredients are in the pot for a blindside screw job, somebody that isnt in the mix right now that sides with The Authority other than Sheamus, could even be Del Rio, the way they passed the US title on to him immediately then Cena took a break, John returns gets injured that story line dead ends so they make a quick transition to Kalisto freeing up Del Rio prior to the Rumble...

Guess you haven't watched Smackdown ;).

I'm a couple weeks behind the weekly viewing atm but have them saved and will be watching them over the next couple days. Is it even worth watching?

I think you wouldn't miss out on TOO much to skip, Got a mini feud with Cena/Del Rio before his injury and Kalisto getting a push with Del Rio and they had some good matches. Owens and Ambrose are going at each other so watching it for them is a nice way, probably the best current feud atm! There are other bits and pieces as well that are decent like a surprise return I think 2-3 Raws ago ;). Smackdown has actually being pushed as a more important show now, so it's pretty nice to catch as well (I still watched it, as it tests the waters sometimes before they go through with it on Raw).

2 raws and 2 Smackdowns left that I will probably fast forward through most of it so I'm up to date for royal rumble

I missed the last raw, haven't watched smackdown in ages either, i better start by yhe sounds

[RiOtChEsS]

Few points id like to make...

1. It's a bit sad that WWE have had to resortt to bringing back H as the top heel

2. Injuries and their unwillingness to throw a young guy in there and let him to work is again sad (Rollins the exception)

3. This is the best compromise for me personally, im old enough to have been on all the HHH journeys and 13 didn't really sit well with me, he deserves one more run, like they did with Hogan too late, and again here with HHH probably to late, however he has paid his dues and im excited to watch again from a semi nostalgic point of view, one more ride with The Cerebral Assassin...

Reigns vs Ambrose vs Lesnar at Fastlane to see who fights H at WM (whatever happened to Elimination Chamber?)

not sure why Ambrose is there. woulda thought it'd be Reigns v Lesnar with Wyatt coming out and costing Lesnar the win, setting up Wyatt vs Lesnar at WM. that'll happen anyway but why is Ambrose there? shouldn't he defend the IC belt? (or whatever belt he has)

[R.Griffen]

I am so confused they bought HHH back hoping to capitalise on their recent ratings spike due to the lead up for Royal Rumble being successful. From what I've heard Raw absolutely killed the ratings again and was only slightly better than the one a month ago which was the lowest rating show in 10 years.

AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho on raw? What's the point

The crowd love Styles and Jericho isn't a heel even though they tried to hard to make him one at Royal Rumble

Until Rollins, Orton and Cena come back they need to just throw the story line out the window and just work on getting people's attention. Which is what they did a month back.

I'm hoping by adding Ambrose to the fastlane card they might throw a curveball(it won't happen though)

Dolph should be a championship contender but yet to get a real chance. He come out very late in the rumble and basically did nothing and just got eliminated. Without Orton, Cena and Rollins they have no back up plan

[R.Griffen]

Also should add AJ Styles should be able to hold a fight up himself and not have Chris Jericho get him through his first fight

Probably as a way for Lesnar not to get pinned. Ambrose was final 2 in the Rumble, guess why he earned his spot there. Since he also holds the IC title, I reckon they have no plans for him after the Owens feud, so this is just biding the time until they start the ladder match build up prior to Wrestlemania (but after Fastlane).

I reckon AJ went alright in his first match, could go better but give it time to get use to WWE :P. But agree WWE don't have too many top tier guys they rely on. They did have Bryan/Ziggler up top but then injuries happened and then they couldn't be trusted again. They are trying again with Rollins/Reigns but Rollins injured and Reigns in the drawn out storyline is just a pain. I would have loved to see AJ Styles win it in his first night, instant star :P. Owens and Ambrose could easily go up top but reckon they'll be stuck the level below for another half year probably. At least they have plenty of feuds for Owens as he finds a way to have many going at once (same as NXT).

I dunno what it is but I don't think they like AJ Styles

I've actually heard that Ambrose turns heel sometime between now and (or at) Fastlane, which would make a lot of sense as to why Ambrose is there (2 faces and 1 heel as opposed to all faces).

The flower? She's gotta be at least 40 years old... Sounds like she's 20 years too late....

I wonder who they would of let win in the Taker vs Cena match??

[Cookie Monster]

It's a shame we won't get to see Taker v Cena, Taker seem's like he could go on forever but this Wrestlemania being in Dallas seems like the biggest one in a while, I think it would be his last, Cena v Taker is something everyones been wanting to see for years and years now. It's a shame we won't be able to.
