Just realized kickoff is 2-hours long. In-between the 3 matches, I hope they do the various rumble statistics - I actually really enjoy hearing those. Srs.

**J_L_R** · 01-28-2018, 06:17 AM

In for surprise entrant....

not srs

**TimDF** · 01-28-2018, 06:20 AM

IN!!!!!!!!!!!

Really hoping for the Big Dawg to win the Rumble, although I would be ok with Nakamura winning it as long as Reigns gets to face Lesnar for the title at Mania. Speaking of that, I am very excited for Lesnar vs. Strowman vs. Kane. It is going to be match of the night and absolutely blow away Styles vs. Neckbeards. 100% dead srs.

P.S. I still feel bad Styles has to face those two fast food workers at one of the biggest shows of the year.

Eating a whole medium pizza. Fits my macros, so is it even cheating?

**BallGameFan** · 01-28-2018, 09:12 AM

INNNNNN!!!!

Women's rumble will be awesome!! SRS.

This will be the most GLORIOUS preshow ever!!!

**Roldz** · 01-28-2018, 09:18 AM

Like I was saying in another thread, this show is going to be a win-win situation.

It's either going to be an awesome show, or it's going to be the same tired old chit and the Philly crowd going in dry will make it worth the watch.

I'm hyped for this either way.

**Deathstroke** · 01-28-2018, 10:26 AM

mixed nuts and jerky!

I'm looking forward to the entire main card! I hope there are better surprises than last year. Last year Reigns was the "shocking" 30th entrant what a letdown

**SuperHippo** · 01-28-2018, 10:51 AM

inn.

Will womens rumble start it and mens end it?

It's been widely reported I think that Women's is closing the show.

tag
tag
aj/neckbeards
brock/big jobbers
mens
womens

I think anyway but I hope men's closes it, and I support the vags

**ChristmasFnatic** · 01-28-2018, 10:58 AM

They will have one of the title match between the Rumbles.

**LurkoLantern** · 01-28-2018, 10:59 AM

Gonna be tough to top last night's NXT show.

Wanna share a pic that WWE posted - figure it'll get more exposure here. This is why I have full faith in Trips if he ever gets to run WWE. He understands the value of storytelling. This one pic encapsulates so much storytelling it would make vince's head explode.

**cheerupemokid** · 01-28-2018, 11:27 AM

I heard Lashley was re-signing with the WWE. Hope he’s a surprise entrant and wins. Somebody has to save us from another Reigns coronation.

**BallGameFan** · 01-28-2018, 11:27 AM

I love that it's ok to nerd out on NJPW but it's not ok to like WWE or NXT. LMAO just LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only way I could see the womens closing is if ronda is winning, which i doubt is happening

Roman Reigns might be the biggest flop next to Baron Corbin.

Wait, Ziggles is actually favored to win too?! Dickstroke might be right afterall?! Where you got this info Dick? From Hoagie or Balls?

And LOL @ Ziggles vs Styles @ Mania.

**BallGameFan** · 01-28-2018, 11:49 AM

Was gonna bet zarb a perm ban but he's too yellow

Oh well!

**zabardast** · 01-28-2018, 11:51 AM

Looking forward to see which surprise entrants we get. Better be better than last year when we got nothing. Still say Nakamura will win or be in the final 2.

Can see EC3 or Ricochet in the men's rumble.

Then Trish Stratus and also the women from NXT in the women's rumble.

Not really interested in the other matches, Usos vs Benjamin & Gable should be good though....Usos are legit some of the best tag teams in the world right now. And curious to see where the AJ/KO/Zayn story is going.

Agreed. Might be my favorite NXT match ever too.

Calling it now. Trips will screw Strowman the title, leading to a Trips vs. Strowman match at Mania.

HHH vs. Strowman
Lesnar vs. Reigns
Styles vs. Nakamura

Styles vs Ziggler if you ask Dickstroke. He is sure Ziggler will win.

Even if he does, Zigglers time has passed and that isn't his fault. Years of poor booking and carelessness will do that to a worker.
