Have the rumble come down to Lee and Lesnar and have Lee spirit bomb both of them directly through the ring to the floor. Since nobody can tell who touched first they both go to mania.

Not gonna lie, in a vacuum that triple threat is incredibly intriguing to me.

Especially because Lesnar clearly was impressed with Lee at the Rumble so he'd likely be more than willing to put him over.

This also means Edge/Orton won’t be a title match and Drew is either retaining until Mania or losing it to Brock at some point, because Lesnar wouldn’t be working it otherwise.

I guess this means Lee or Goldberg might win the Rumble?

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

The funny thing is I absolutely believe that WWE is both considering putting Keith Lee in a WM main event with Brock Lesnar and also think he's needs to go back to wrestling school. I'm old enough to remember Nathan Jones.

lmao switch the title while Sami is on a roll and Big E is cold as ice.

Hoping they do some Jericho-esque conspiracy victim stuff to have Sami get the title back or make it interesting. I like Big E as much as the next guy, but Sami was being entertaining and drawing interest to the belt.

They just simply could not have reached the amazing heights of "beats chickenshit IC Champ in an unhyped lumberjack match on free TV" unless they cut all ties with the rest of the New Day. I wouldn't have taken it seriously.

Heel Reigns v. Bryan would be an absolute banger. I understand why people despise WWE but Roman is on loving fire RN and him vs. Bryan would be SO GOOD.

I wonder what it would take to get Cena for Mania. He’s shooting the Peacemaker show right now so I think it’s highly unlikely he gets a surprise Rumble spot.

He’s also getting close to Rock territory where the movie money he gets is so much that’s it’s not worth the insurance risk to ever wrestle again in case he gets injured and fucks up a production.

I’m curious who the surprise entrants will be this year. I think they’ll use the Rumble to call up Priest and Ripley officially. I think Booker T gets a legend spot because of the Bad Bunny performance. Anyone in NXT UK is probably not possible.

The women’s rumble is harder to predict because it’s usually half legends and NXT already

because there are always people that dump money on longshot dogs. the wwe stuff though seems to be relegated to euro and asian bookies which are kind of the wild west anyway on that front

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.

They're gonna do the Yano finish from this year's Rambo where everyone else is thrown out before #30 enters and he wins by default

I would say that it's a surprise Brock return for icing on the cake, but I guess they're announcing #30 ahead of time so that takes some fun out of it

They’ll probably set the ring on fire and everyone but Bray will self eliminate because that seems dumb as poo poo and a complete waste of my time.
