Please tell me the Johnny Knoxville thing is not literally entrant #1 in the Rumble

The Egg will be the final entrant and everyone will get eliminated by slipping on it and falling out of the ring.

There will be slide whistle noises.

It was fine but only felt about 5 minutes. Pin really came out of nowhere. And E was upstaged by basically everyone. :(

As someone who only sees snippets of AEW, would the New Day fit in there? Because I don't see them not moving as a unit, they are super tight irl

They talked a big talk about how they’d rather walk than let themselves get split up and yet that happened without fanfare, so I wouldn’t bet on anything.

you should watch aew, but yeah they're big on stables, they have room for people who can wrestle but also do comedy, and at least big e is already friends with a whole lot of the roster. plus they could introduce trios titles/a trios tourney

New Day at their most absurd versus Best Friends at their most "Best Friends" would be the match of the century and the perfect way to give Jim Cornette a heart attack from pure rage

so yes

I think so, yeah. AEW tends to be a great place for people who can do their own thing from a creative point of view and New Day seems like they’re ridiculously creative.

drat shame it ended the way it did, I could have gotten at least ten more minutes out of laughing at reading "there was a botched finish to a match because the woman was too short to actually cheat" instead of spending the rest of the night laughing at reading "Brock easily beats every member of New Day that will ever hold a world title"

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Nah Lesnar vs Reigns at Mania has been the design, or at least one of them for a while. A champ vs champ main at Mania masking as yet another Lesnar vs Reigns match is what gets Vince's flacid member any sort of turgid.

If E wasn't going to lose it today then he would have lost it at any of the other six PPVs between now and then. It just saves Lesnar going through the Rumble to win it.

MAYBE you can have E run the table at the Rumble and make a huge amazing babyface run culminating in E being double champ, ahahahahahahahahahahaha please enjoy watching Big E tag with ooooohhh let's see, Kevin Owens for the Mania opener. :suicide:

Couldn't they had e just saved Lesnar until Roman was better? The Rumble is right around the corner.

Wouldn't taking Brock out of the ppv, have wasted one of his contractual appearances?

Big E deserved better than this, I think.

Apparently throughout the show the announcers kept calling it a "Premium Live Event". I guess "Pay Per View" has been added to Vince's no-no words list.

Drew's out for at least a little bit

PWInsider posted:

The word backstage is that the angle was brought about by some nagging neck issues McIntyre has been dealing with of late, necessitating him needing to be checked out.

There is no word how long McIntyre could be out but the hope among those we've spoken with is that it will be a short-term in-ring hiatus. Until he gets checked out, it's "up in the air," according to one source.
