As I recall the comment was something like "I guess you weren't ready for Asuka" which is like, the biggest nothing of an insult anyone could manage

It was a reign, Ember. I look forward to your trios team in the Rumble

I just imagined a scenario where Asuka tears through the Rumble before Ember surprise enters at 30, then they have like a 25 minute long burner.. only Ember gets the elimination on Asuka. Now it's the only thing I want. Ember could use Asuka's aggressiveness to bait her into getting sent over the top. I'd love the angle to be booked so that Ember wins the title (at WM) before Asuka, so you aren't just retelling the NXT angle, but elaborating on it by putting the strap on the woman who could never beat Asuka and having her defend. The only way this is bad is that Asuka wouldn't have an obvious place at WM, but I'm sure they could find a space for her before the SummerSlam match with Ember.

Full heel Asuka, have her threaten and cajole her way to getting the belt before WM. Ember has her triumph over Asuka at the RR, Asuka still looks terrifying by ripping through everyone else, and Ember then gets to look like a good babyface by winning at WM.

Also Ember is dead on arrival when she hits the main roster. Not because of WWE booking, but because she's still so bad on the mic. Asuka can coast by because of her charisma currently (although its barely coasting at this time), but Ember won't be able to do that.

I can see them sending in some people like Kairi, Iconic Duo, etc. But I don't see any of them lasting more than a few minutes. Especially since they don't have Takeover matches scheduled.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

I've been saying the Iconic Duo were debuting at the Rumble for months and I still think it's an alright and fair debut for them if they play it up.

Edit- Iconic were meant to toss Becky out at the debut Women's Rumble.

Not impossible. I think there was one year where Shawn and Taker did that. Ended up as the final two and then went like 15 minutes.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Yeah anyone who compares the Asuka/Moon rivalary to HBK/Taker is misguided. What will probably end up happening is if Ronda isn't in the Rumble and Asuka isn't champ, either Asuka will win, or be screwed out of winning due to Alexa interfering or something.

IF Ember Moon is in the Royal Rumble, I fully expect her to get tossed within a few minutes of her entering. Same with any other NXT talent like Kairi, Iconic Duo, etc.

Gaz-L
Jan 28, 2009
I was literally just saying that having 2 wrestlers with history do a long 'match' at the end of the Rumble has precedent, people, not claiming Ember Moon is the second coming of HBK.

And yes, if Asuka is in the Rumble and Ronda isn't, she should probably just go ham and start from #1 and win the whole fuckin' thing while tying Reigns' record for eliminations.

Michaels/Undertaker closing out the Rumble worked because it was loving Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker. No one will give a single poo poo about Ember Moon.
