The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Predictions for Royal Rumble? - Sasha Banks to beat Carmella Easiest prediction of the night for obvious reasons. - Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax to beat Charlotte Flair and Asuka The WWE have relegated the tag team title to the state of nobody cares and a Charlotte / Asuka WM match would be far more appealing. Charlotte to take the L thanks to Lacey Evans and Ric Flair. - Roman Reigns to beat Kevin Owens Another that seems obvious but should be a good match. - Drew McIntyre to beat Goldberg. People shat on Raw when the weekly show was good but they had a Champion that didn't show up. I can't see the powers that he wanting a bad show with a Champion that doesn't show up. That said, I'm sure Goldberg will not want to leave looking weak. So we may get a finish where The Miz cashes in but takes the L. Then Goldberg beats The Miz and Morrison in his second match given they way they've been booked since the draft. - Bianca Belair to win the Royal Rumble. In my opinion the most difficult to predict. I just feel that it's her time given her good work on Smackdown. Her and Bayley as the last two would be ideal. Sets up a triple threat match with Sasha and Bayley at WrestleMania. - Daniel Bryan to win the Royal Rumble. The story with heel Roman Reigns makes too much sense. Especially if Daniel Bryan is considering retirement. One last big hoorah before Roman retires him. Other predictions... Sheamus to last the longest, Keith Lee as number 30, AJ/Edge to advance feud in Royal Rumble for WM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Some people think the rock will come back tonight and win the rumble and face reigns at wrestlemania. Would make sense. I know a lot of fans wouldn't like it but it would make wwe a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am aware(and find it quite funny) that they tried reigns as a face for years and it didn't work and now he's a heel everyone loves him Edited January 31, 2021 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I think The Rock's return would be on IF there would be a large crowd at WrestleMania. I imagine Rock/Roman will be the main event for next year now if his move schedule suits it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Would be a bit unfair if the rock just comes in and goes straight to main eventing wrestlemania. But that is wrestling i guess. The rock isn't to bad for things like that actually. Apparently lesners first title win was supposed to be with interference from Heyman. But the said to let him win cleanly.

6666 1,310 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Belair or Ripley to win the women's match. Bryan or a surprise entrant to win the men's. I don't think they've built good enough stories or built wrestlers that could be potential winners going into the rumble especially for the men's but it's the rumble so still gonna be excited. Will be weird without genuine fan reactions though. The place going wild with joy if Charlotte wins will be hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted February 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 1, 2021 The win obviously helps and does something for Drew but Surely Goldberg has it in him to have a match with someone that involves more than just finisher moves?

6666 1,310 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 As for the Rumble matches, Belair is incredibly talented and glad Priest got some focus put on him. Should already be a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ 1,388 Posted February 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I watched the most of it. On this day....I didn’t see clearly.....I was absolutely shattered The botch in the Reigns - Owens match ruined what was a decent match. It was cringey at the end with the botch and the ref just stopped counting. Edited February 1, 2021 by JoshBRFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was down to Bryan, Seth, Randy, Christian, Edge and Strowman thats the order my friends and I wanted to see as winner. Unfortunately seth came back as shit jesus and not with burn it down and fire tights. So no, Edge was never a great wrestler anyway. Good character, but I can live without seeing him wrestle. Bayley vs Carmella. Meh Oldberg vs Drew. Bleh, though mercifully short Womens rumble. I can't even remember it bar Bianca winning. Meh Mens rumble. Meh. Worst royal rumble I've seen live that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,310 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Seth's messiah gimmick had a lot of potential in my opinion and started off well but they turned him into some sort of comedy villain that can only get things done with the help of others.

Worst royal rumble I've seen live that's for sure. For once, I think you're being too kind with your criticisms. Negatives for me are .... - Charlotte Flair... She needs to start selling to people. The first match ended when she got hit with a pair of brass knuckles and had a women the size of Nia Jax land on her. She just got me up, said to Asuka: "Yeah that's on me", and then walks off. Doesn't hold her face, or her chest, or anything. Then later on when it's the last three in the Royal Rumble and both Belair and Ripley start teaming up on her she starts acting like she's some sort of crappy reincarnation of Hulk Hogan not selling anything. I don't know who told her to do that but she looked like an absolute pleb. - Asuka... Since Charlotte Flair has returned Asuka has gone from being the best thing on Raw during the pandemic to people thinking she needs a win. She's meant to be the Women's Champion and they've done absolutely nothing with her for the last six weeks. You'd think the right thing to do would be for her to go over Charlotte but you just know they wont do that. - The Bayley Elimination... I literally didn't see it. Had no idea she had been eliminated. Thought she was going to emerge at the end and throw Bianca over the top rope. But no, the camera just didn't pick it up. Pretty piss poor to not have a spot where everybody feigns injury whilst Bayley gets thrown over like they have done with everybody since the Royal Rumble started. - Alexa Bliss... What was the point? They should have had everybody eliminate her, not just quickly thrown over after making a couple of screens go black. - The ending to Roman Reigns / Kevin Owens... A pretty brutal match that was a good watch ruined by Paul's chubby hands. Surely they would have practised that several times during rehearsal? Absolutely embarrassing. - Ricochet being in the Royal Rumble ... He lost a qualifier! I know there hands are tied at times with Covid but they've got Booker T backstage looking like a better version of GI Bro than he did as GI Bro in WCW. Just have come out for five minutes. - "The Messiah" Seth Rollins ... Dude still has the same theme tune as Bailey. - Edge ... Joins the ever growing list of decrepit fossils who can't let this generation have their moment. One Royal Rumble, worst WM match on the card, a heavily edited PPV match, and suddenly he's super human enough to last 29 other men. What does that say about everybody whose wrestled for the past ten years. Kurt Angle did an interview recently where he said he felt WWE should have given him another title run, and that's the terrible culture that WWE have created for themselves by consistently giving the big Wrestle Mania spots to these has beens that do nothing all year round to get the big spots. Recently the likes of Goldberg, The Undertaker and D-von Dudley have spoken out about the attitude of today's wrestlers but honestly who can blame them with the culture WWE have developed. There must be nothing more depressing than being somebody that joined a major promotion after 1999. I really liked Christian in his prime but I shudder at the thought of him beating any of today's talent. On the plus side... Goldberg match went as well as it could have, Billie Kay is brilliant, Bianca Belair's win was a great moment, Rhea Ripley is going to be used a lot better on the main roster, I don't mind them trying to get Lacey Evans over even if it's by Ric Flair old man sex, Carmella can hold her own against the best, Carlito needs to sign a contract and change his name to Swolito, Damien Priest looks to be getting pushed on the main roster, Omos has to do very little to be entertaining and the Daniel Bryan/Matt Riddle wrestling was great to watch. We were pretty spoiled with good PPV's in 2020. I'd give this one a 6/10. I think the 14, 15 and 16 Royal Rumbles were worse than this but this was definitely a big step backwards in contrast to previous years.

Devil-Dick Willie 3,253 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 So Kenta showed up on AEW. It's very very very very weird to me that if this is the start of an actual AEW/NJPW crossover they'd lead with Kenta, they'd absolutely have a big heel like White, ZSJ, Taichi, Suzuki or even someone like Naito in there were that the case. Which makes me think it's just another one off circumstantial match like Jericho vs Tanahashi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 @Devil-Dick Willie NXT UK may be worth a watch if you can spare an hour a week.
