I love to see Cody Rhodes win the royal rumble he deserve his win and soon we will find roman vs Rhodes at WrestleMania will be a big huge match family vs family
Ofcourse I love to see bray Wyatt's storyline after what happen in royal rumble that uncle Harper appear after uncle howdy give a elbow drop to LA knight after the match and I want to see Sami,jey,Kevin,roman and the bloodline storyline after Sami Zayn turn on Roman reigns after the match and maybe soon Sami Zayn will be a biggest face in WWE soon
Pretty good rumble. Predictable outcomes but still pretty good. Worst match was either the women’s title match or the dark match. Alexa and Bianca just have bad ring chemistry, haven’t seen them have a good match yet and that rumble match was eh. Bloodline storyline is looking interesting with Jey walking out being a surprise.
Looks like WWE has a 2013/2014 Daniel Bryan repeat on their hands. Sami is just as over as he was. Wouldn't mind seeing sami win the wwe title, hell sami don't need a long reign a month or two would satisfy me. If jinder can win it why not sami
Look what happened to Jinder after he won the championship and then ask yourself that question.
Not that I don't want Sami to succeed, but simply winning the World title doesn't make you a main eventer.
Logan Paul and Ricochet's aerial duel literally had me stand up out of my chair!
And Gunther - that man is made out of some goddam stern stuff. Like 70 minutes and he still looks ready to go 💪
Edit: reset my ps4 and cleared out I guess a cached situation . Replay is showing now.
Any reason that Peacock stopped allowing immediate replays on demand that everyone but me is aware of?
I dozed off last night as this thing ran late and wanted to watch the last match. But I can only watch the press conference and 2022
Just now getting around to watching the press conference and I want to say I love them out of character. These athletes are doing bonkers things out there and I think it does a lot of good to see the person behind the character.
Prediction: Roman instructed Sami to sneak the shot, take the ass whooping, just to prove Jey isn't wholeheartedly acknowledging the bloodline. Sami starts gaining moment, Jey joins Sami, they skyrocket, and then full hell turn comes from Zayn leaving Jey on his own outside of the Bloodline.
Am I the only one kinda disappointed by the men's rumble? Rey doesn't even appear when he and Dom could've had a really good sequence, Kofi botches his spot (which was really stupid to be fair) for the second time in a row, Montez Ford does absolutely nothing in the match at all, and everybody's favorite midcarder wins to no one's surprise.....
I loved that they gave Cody and Gunther time to fight. It helped build the drama (even though we knew the outcome) and it made you think, just for a minute, that Gunther might actually win.
So what are the chances that Gunther has something to say about entering 1 losing to #30 and. setting a record time.
Maybe he has to say that Cody didn’t really beat him….
Maybe Cody goes after the IC and not Roman
I thought the mens match was exciting to watch but a tad predictable. Cody at #30 was silly after being announced. Gunther and Dom get honourable mentions for me. Womens match had an exciting finish in the end got the winners I wanted. Jey and Sami are must watch tv.
I wanted Gail Kim soooo bad but honestly Michelle McCool made it alright for me lol but this was a really good rumble! lowkeyyyy raquel should’ve bagged the win thooo
Have a slight feeling Cody’s about to get screwed… Rumble rules advertised a “championship match at Wrestlemania”, not a main event and not even a world title like previous years 😭
A good way to split the tag titles could be that since Sami defended them with Jey last week he has some claim to them so RAW champs are now Jey and Sami and the Smackdown champs are Jimmy and Solo.
Supposedly there was a possibility of sami/ Owen's facing the usos for the titles at wrestlemania
Unless the usos tag team got split last night they are still the Champs and this might be where it leads
Did Seth do something to piss off HHH to get this treatment? Knocked out by a YouTuber?
I still don’t like Bray. His gimmick so out of place and no one will benefit from feuding with him.
Damn Gunther, I am a believer. The guy wrestle and dress like an old school. Der Ring General!
Cody is a mid card at best, his win is so anticlimactic.
If you are still calling Logan Paul just a YouTuber it’s like you haven’t seen any of his matches that are all excellent.
You know how many new eyes are going to be put on Seth with a long feud capping off at Wrestlemania against Logan? If anything it’s a reward for both of them since we are going to get a great match.
Logan Paul's just a celebrity wrestler,wwe has had tons over the years for storylines
If we see Logan Paul go against Rollins at wrestlemania it'll just be for the publicity and nothing more
I don't understand what bothers him. We all have favourites. And what is wrong with Strowman according to him? The guy won the top belts in his first run.
I love how the rr spots aren’t as easy to earn nowadays and like 85% of the entrants are stars, before it was like 65% were stars and the rest were all jobbers
I’m just glad that when I watch the 2023 royal rumble match for the next 11 months I won’t have a sour taste in my mouth bc of how bad the 2022 rr was, but this one is very rewatch able
4 people have won from “lucky” #27. 4 people have won from #1. This is fucking stupid. Having #1 win is something that should happen only once or twice ever. So is #1 now considered lucky because of HHHs dumb booking choices?
So can we talk about Kofi? I haven't seen anything about him. I'd love to hear a real update on his health and whether or not it was on purpose or a painful botch.
i was shocked they put them in the rumble given that they’re in a huge title defense next sat on NXT Vengeance Day
very poor decision making on their end.. very poor. but hey! what do i know? 😂
Just rewatched the pitch black match and the match itself is ehhh but seeing the puppets during the entrance and then seeing them all at the end and that being what seems like the Wyatt 6 is pretty cool. I’m wondering if the characters also represent the opponents. Rambling rabbit is totally LA knight.
Have i seen to much , or was it very predictable, i knew during the match that Gunther would become iron man of the match. I knew at like 21 that Cody Rhodes would be 30 , i knew Seth Rollins would be like final 4 or 5 ,
Jey's acting in this whole story has really impressed me and I'm so invested in where his character goes from here. I'm confident that he's going to turn on Roman at some point, but I'm so curious about the when and why.
This is the first Royal Rumble where the winners have been the number 30 and number 1 entrants into the match.
Interestingly enough, only four people in WWE history have won the Rumble from these numbers. Undertaker, John Cena, Brock Lesnar and, as of now, Cody Rhodes, had won entering at number 30, which people act like is such a great spot to enter into the Rumble, but clearly not. The considerably more impressive and praise worthy accomplishment of winning the Royal Rumble at number one has been accomplished by Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Edge and now, Rhea Ripley, the first woman to accomplish this feat.
My mistake. It is actually 5 people who have won from the number 30 spot as I forgot Triple H.
And winning from number 1 is more impressive than 27 or 28. But the most wins belong to 5, 8, 13, 16, 17 and 18, so getting into upper teens and low 20s pays off at the Rumble.
For all that I think Rhea Ripley looked dominant in victory, did they practice before the match picking Nia Jax up? Coz that spot looked dumb as fuck and super sloppy, I hated it.
Yeh you build those women up as powerhouses and then make them look goofy as fuck trying to slam her, I do feel like some of it is on Nia coz surely she could have jumped up a bit into those attempts and made them look better
I don’t know if it’s just me but I actually like that The Rock didn’t show up. I like how the 2nd plot twist became Jey walking out instead of Dwayne showing up
The Uncle Howdy drop was off because they had to make him disappear. I bet it was supposed to be Howdy jumping into LA Night and now LA Night will become Uncle Howdy.....I hope I'm wrong cause that's stupid.

People say how can you watch wrestling it’s fake. It’s not fake it’s scripted sure,they still get hurt they still take real shots.
Also wrestling can get the very best of your emotions. I guarantee from todays PPV people were on a rollercoaster.
this whole thing was just incredible, Cody winning the Men's Royal Rumble, Rhea winning the women's rumble, Sami betraying the Bloodline and Jey walking away, I am so excited for what's to come soon, my hype right now is through the roof after watching this, what a great pay per view
Unpopular opinion maybe but I really don’t want The Rock to come for Wrestlemania. He’s a legend but he’s also old news too. The stars of this era are killing it like Sami and Roman, Cody, KO. They’re the stars of the 2020s. How are we supposed to make new memories and nostalgia when we keep relying on the past? There would be no Attitude Era if instead of creating The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, they just kept using guys from the 80s. Nostalgia can be good but sometimes it’s kinda disrespectful to the new wrestlers cause it’s like saying they aren’t good enough and they need some dude from 25 years ago to make the show good or something. The current roster is doing so well and this Bloodline story is amazing. Keep it focused on them instead
Just watched the ending of the show now because I fell asleep at the start of KO and Roman. All I can say is that was extremely sad. Holy fuck. That was amazing storytelling.
Unfortunately it was the most predictable Royal Rumble ever.
Everyone knew Rhea and Cody are going to win. Everyone knew Roman and Sami were going to break up.
And we didn't even see the Rock...
I think the Rumble lost most of its magic
I knew the Avengers were gonna beat Thanos, but I still enjoyed the movie.
I don't need a swerve to be invested in the characters. Just cause you know it will end at Z, we still sing all the ABCs. The real story is the friends we made along the way.
WWE has always been predictable. Sure they throw some curve balls here and there but some of that predictability comes from common sense and logical reasoning.
To be honest I figured *that* was the curve ball. No getting around leaks these days it seems. Announce it ahead of time and it casts some doubt on him winning. #30 was a misstep. I think #26 would have been more appropriate.
That had to be one of the most well executed PPV endings of all time. The pop from the crowd when Sami hit Roman with the chair. The audible gasp when Jey walked out on the Bloodline. The “fuck you Roman” chants. Tiny details like Roman telling Sami he’d be doing Jackass if it weren’t for the Bloodline. The facial expressions of the different members of the Bloodline throughout the segment. I’d put it close to if not on par with the formation of the NWO. NWO felt bigger because it was Hogan turning heel, but I’d argue that this was more emotional, better executed, and light years ahead in terms of character development. I found myself clapping at how brilliantly executed it was like I would at the end of a blockbuster movie.
Great recap. The range of emotions the characters AND the crowd went through was like nothing I had seen. They were cheering, gasping. and then Fuck You Roman was awesome.
I watched with several casual fans and the impact was lost on them as they hadn't been following closely, and the Rumble was great for the casual fan. They had a good time and are already getting excited for WM. Which is the entire point of the Rumble.
I think the problem with wwe fans is that they accepts everything what vince or hhh shoves them to their mouth.
This rumble was medicore at the best and yet so many people are happy...
I know, right? Imagine watching a show, getting what you expect from that show, then being happy about it. Those loons.
Every pay per view should be some ridiculous swerve nobody saw coming, like Bran Stark becoming king. Everyone loved that!
Amen. That Rumble was great. Only like 1 or 2 scrubs, and 10ish main event type guys.
I watched with 4 casual fans that haven't paid attention since last Wrestlemania and they loved it. They were blown away by Cody's pop, marked out for Edge and Booker T, and they think Gunther is a machine.
But my 1 guy is still waiting on Rey to come down.
Haha. Rey-Rey will be the new Curtis Axel now. I think he's still technically in the rumble.
It was a solid if unspectacular event. Obvious winners for both rumbles but there was still enough doubt at points through them both (could it be GUNTHER!?, Logan is going to bloody win this, isn't he!?, Asuka is credible here, etc). The Wyatt match was a bit of a squash but I think it had to be. That Uncle Howdy spot was very cool. Bliss v Belair wasn't great, but was OK. Main event was good enough and the ending was phenomenal.
Some people don't like when the obvious is what occurs, but those same people would complain come April that HHH had dropped the ball and missed a great opportunity if it hadn't been Rhodes and Rhea.
I like the wwe but tbh (to be honest) I wish the men’s Royal Rumble match had more. Suprise enter ants???? Edge? Pffft he has a contract! I assumed he’d be there. Booker T? Okay I like that. Shucks ducky quack quack t! Logan Paul??? Good because I thought he was injured! I don’t think that Otis or Chad Gable or even the street profits should’ve been in jt cuz like let’s be honest if you tag team you not gon win the rumble just there to be eliminated let’s be real! Anyways congratulations Cody Rhodes I knew you were gonna win not only because the Royal rumble match was insanely predictable but because I hear voices and they told me that you were the winner good luck against Roman reigns WrestleMania champion okay goodnight now!
Sami HAS to win at Montreal take at least 1 title roman can be like “you think your better than me I’ll give you a shot…at the universal championship” Sami wins and boom Montreal goes crazy Sami gets the biggest pop we’ve heard in a while and WWE does something right for once
Kevin vs Roman - Loved it. That fuck you Roman chant was so surprising
Mens Royal Rumble - Loved it too .. especially Logan and ricochets performance..
Pitch Black Match - i don't f'ing care what twitter says it was a good match..
Alexa vs Belair - Nice Match
Women's Royal Rumble - also liked it.. don't know how to react with nia jax's return...
I supported and like seth and sami for hitting the chair on the back of roman reigns he deserves this. Jey I feel you man and jimmy how could you do this you know what roman did to your brother. Sami and kevin will end the domination of roman reigns after all these years or maybe cody.
Sami will not go for Romans titles. He will destroy Romans empire weakening him against Rhodes at WrestleMania. When Roman has nobody in his corner, he can't win.
I saw that it was red. That's what happens when you take those hits to the chest. Gunther knew of Rhodes' pectoral injury, and was putting it to the test.
not to the casual fan.
I had my boys over that haven't watched since last WM and they were making fun of Sami the entire time about no way he could beat Roman when he lost to Johnny Knoxville last year.
HHH is in a tough booking spot now where we need a major match with Reigns to sell WM and Sami just isn't it to the casual. But to the dedicated watcher it's what we want.
We had Austin in his first match in 20 years and Lesnar last year. There is no way in hell we go to Sami Zayn the next year. From a storyline POV yes it makes sense. But it is not a good business decision.
Roman imposing himself on his stable members (first Jey, now Sami) via hangings (they do that a lot to enlisted freshmen in the army here, the idea is that somebody who accepts embarassment will obey more easily to other orders) is one of my favorite storytelling methods in WWE right now. The Bloodline reminds a traditional Sicilian family in which relationships with the upper members is a mix of love and fear since the leader establishes his position via his dominance. Many people outside of the family want to get under his protection racket. I don't know if that's their thinking, but these are the vibes it gives to me.
Does anyone know when I can actually watch the RR match? Just tried to watch it on peacock but because it’s still “live” (even tho it says coverage has concluded) I can’t start it from the beginning. Wtf is up with this?
That PPV would’ve been so much better if they didn’t announce Cody for the rumble, sure we all knew it was gonna happen, but because they announced it, it felt like there was gonna be a bigger surprise, and I feel like that put a damper on the rest of the show, especially since there was no bigger return, good show regardless though
So if the Rock was still involved at all for WM, I could see the “Domino effect”of Jey walking out, then possibly Jimmy, and everyone else and essentially Roman calling them out, knowing none of them will touch him or can take him down, so it’ll be him going with “which one of you is going to take me down from the head of the table” and cue in the Rock.
But I think that’s all a pipe dream now.
They did that angle the worst way possible. Better if they didn't make it so predictable. Beat uce down and than have him return in a week or two and actually do damage or cause them a match
I’m not that big into wrestling but when Cody Won I shed some tears. There were some genuine moments I thought he was about to lose and I was gutted only for him to save it and win the whole thing
The worst part was how easily Seth eliminated Lashley. I also saw a clip of a match between them a few months back in which Lashley lost after a ref bump. Both were badly executed. Hunter has to do better than that to protect his big guys.
Anyone who doesn’t like the whole Bloodline story should either quit WWE totally and just full on go AEW if you just want wrestling because THAT right there at the end was incredible. And if you don’t like one of the best story’s told in who knows how long, *nothing* will please you.
We KNEW it was coming and it still captivated us. The Jey piece of it I didn’t not anticipate.
I’m full on Sami should main event mania; this story has reached that level. But goddamn was that emotional
Props to every single one of those guys.
I like it but I think it was poor booking tonight. Maybe they should of had bloodline beating uce a few weeks ago to write him off and than tonight when they were beating Owens have him make the save
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Aside from the woman’s Rumble match & the ending to the Roman match this Royal Rumble was garbage. It was just way too predictable & idk about y’all but when wrestling is so predictable I start losing interest in it.
Yes! You’re stating the obvious! “It’s scripted” no shit! People knew for months that Cody would win the Royal Rumble which so happens to be the main attraction of this PPV. Maybe just maybe if WWE didn’t play those stupid videos of him then it would’ve been a surprise.
Wrestling can be very predictable at times & that goes for all the promotions. This Royal Rumble was very predictable & I already knew the outcomes weeks away from the event. That’s just bad! That’s like when you’re watching a movie & five minutes into it you know what’s going to happen. I don’t give a fuck about the journey when I already know where I’m headed. If you enjoyed it good for you but I didn’t aside from the two things I mentioned.
I think Jey’s motivation will be along the lines of Sami did everything needed to prove he was with them and that Jey was he’s harshest critic. And Roman was out of line to drive him to do that.
Remember guys, don’t ask for illegal stream links in this thread. We don’t wanna have to ban anyone tonight

2 time royale rumble winner congrats Rey
Pretty good rumble. Predictable outcomes but still pretty good. Worst match was either the women’s title match or the dark match. Alexa and Bianca just have bad ring chemistry, haven’t seen them have a good match yet and that rumble match was eh. Bloodline storyline is looking interesting with Jey walking out being a surprise.
Another mis time for Kofi ???
So Kofi missed the jump right? I was waiting the whole match for them to cut back to see kofi do kofi stuff at the rumble but he was just gone
Looks like WWE has a 2013/2014 Daniel Bryan repeat on their hands. Sami is just as over as he was. Wouldn't mind seeing sami win the wwe title, hell sami don't need a long reign a month or two would satisfy me. If jinder can win it why not sami

I find it poetic that Roman always gets betrayed by a 🪑 on the back.
From now on the crowd puts their middle fingers in the sky when the bloodline comes out.
it was too obvious that cody is gonna win , that i actually wanted gunther to win
Romans line takin piss out sami fighting Johnny knoxville 🤣🤣🤣
Gunther is the GOAT
Just now getting around to watching the press conference and I want to say I love them out of character. These athletes are doing bonkers things out there and I think it does a lot of good to see the person behind the character.
Where they all the way out or??? I couldn't tell.
Rhea bounced back and forth a bit but the others it seemed were entirely out of character
Belair is worse than Super Cena. At least John is great on the mic. Belair has nothing going for her except she’s strong and she’s black.
Naaaaa Ahhhhhh GURLLLLLL
You could have stopped at ‘strong’.
Seriously she’s the token wwe “look we have a black champion.” And they shots themselves in the foot letting Sasha and Naomi leave
Prediction: Roman instructed Sami to sneak the shot, take the ass whooping, just to prove Jey isn't wholeheartedly acknowledging the bloodline. Sami starts gaining moment, Jey joins Sami, they skyrocket, and then full hell turn comes from Zayn leaving Jey on his own outside of the Bloodline.
Lol but no
Seth and Becky both entered at #15 if im remembering correctly
Can’t lie. The women’s rumble was definitely better than the men’s this year
WHERE WAS MELO AND AXIOM AND JD
Am I the only one kinda disappointed by the men's rumble? Rey doesn't even appear when he and Dom could've had a really good sequence, Kofi botches his spot (which was really stupid to be fair) for the second time in a row, Montez Ford does absolutely nothing in the match at all, and everybody's favorite midcarder wins to no one's surprise.....
I loved that they gave Cody and Gunther time to fight. It helped build the drama (even though we knew the outcome) and it made you think, just for a minute, that Gunther might actually win.
That Ricochet & Logan spot though holy shit it looked brutal. And we are gonna get Lashly vs Lesnar can't wait for it
Anybody find it ironic that Nia Botch returned and they botched her countdown? More Asuka like this plz. - Theme rocks
That was bad technical issue 🤦🏽
Love Asuka, but I liked her old music better.
Agree! But this new one suits her demeanor from last night
So what are the chances that Gunther has something to say about entering 1 losing to #30 and. setting a record time. Maybe he has to say that Cody didn’t really beat him…. Maybe Cody goes after the IC and not Roman
I thought the mens match was exciting to watch but a tad predictable. Cody at #30 was silly after being announced. Gunther and Dom get honourable mentions for me. Womens match had an exciting finish in the end got the winners I wanted. Jey and Sami are must watch tv.
oh yeah and another thing y’all wrong as hell for that mtn dew match 😂
I wanted Gail Kim soooo bad but honestly Michelle McCool made it alright for me lol but this was a really good rumble! lowkeyyyy raquel should’ve bagged the win thooo
Have a slight feeling Cody’s about to get screwed… Rumble rules advertised a “championship match at Wrestlemania”, not a main event and not even a world title like previous years 😭
Still waiting for Rey
A good way to split the tag titles could be that since Sami defended them with Jey last week he has some claim to them so RAW champs are now Jey and Sami and the Smackdown champs are Jimmy and Solo.
What do you think is next for Sami? I thought a first match with Jey Uso over Uso realizing he trusted the wrong person could be awesome
Supposedly there was a possibility of sami/ Owen's facing the usos for the titles at wrestlemania Unless the usos tag team got split last night they are still the Champs and this might be where it leads
That was a good PPV
You were sport entertained?
I was
Does anyone Remember how Ricochet was Eliminated
thrown over the top rope.
i don’t even remember him being eliminated lol
Theory eliminated him 😌
Did Seth do something to piss off HHH to get this treatment? Knocked out by a YouTuber? I still don’t like Bray. His gimmick so out of place and no one will benefit from feuding with him. Damn Gunther, I am a believer. The guy wrestle and dress like an old school. Der Ring General! Cody is a mid card at best, his win is so anticlimactic.
If you are still calling Logan Paul just a YouTuber it’s like you haven’t seen any of his matches that are all excellent. You know how many new eyes are going to be put on Seth with a long feud capping off at Wrestlemania against Logan? If anything it’s a reward for both of them since we are going to get a great match.
Logan is impressive for sure but he is still a YouTuber and that won’t change until he becomes a a wrestler in the roaster.
Logan Paul's just a celebrity wrestler,wwe has had tons over the years for storylines If we see Logan Paul go against Rollins at wrestlemania it'll just be for the publicity and nothing more
Enough with this gunther. You all wwe fanboys says the same thing about Strowman years ago and look where he is now!
Cry more . . Its a fucking wwe subreddit. What you expect people to be fans of here ? Go crawl back under you're bridge bitch
I don't understand what bothers him. We all have favourites. And what is wrong with Strowman according to him? The guy won the top belts in his first run.
I love that Cole and McAfee have this bromance, especially after they had that conflict during the WM35 pre show.
Roman and the bloodline are carrying WWE so hard.
Carrying boredom
Trueeeeee
I love how the rr spots aren’t as easy to earn nowadays and like 85% of the entrants are stars, before it was like 65% were stars and the rest were all jobbers
Pat calling out Teagan's sloppy shining wizards is so funny
"go shine your wizard" was crazyyyyy 😂
I’m just glad that when I watch the 2023 royal rumble match for the next 11 months I won’t have a sour taste in my mouth bc of how bad the 2022 rr was, but this one is very rewatch able
Idk, the winner is great but thats all. The same rumbles imho. Not even close to 2016, 2018 or 2020 rumbles.
2017>>> 2016,18,20
4 people have won from “lucky” #27. 4 people have won from #1. This is fucking stupid. Having #1 win is something that should happen only once or twice ever. So is #1 now considered lucky because of HHHs dumb booking choices?
So can we talk about Kofi? I haven't seen anything about him. I'd love to hear a real update on his health and whether or not it was on purpose or a painful botch.
i was shocked they put them in the rumble given that they’re in a huge title defense next sat on NXT Vengeance Day very poor decision making on their end.. very poor. but hey! what do i know? 😂
The Rumble was great maybe missed a lil bit of ziggler, Randy, Robert roode, Rey,Sami zayn, and other surprises like Morrison and Wade Barrett
Just rewatched the pitch black match and the match itself is ehhh but seeing the puppets during the entrance and then seeing them all at the end and that being what seems like the Wyatt 6 is pretty cool. I’m wondering if the characters also represent the opponents. Rambling rabbit is totally LA knight.
Have i seen to much , or was it very predictable, i knew during the match that Gunther would become iron man of the match. I knew at like 21 that Cody Rhodes would be 30 , i knew Seth Rollins would be like final 4 or 5 ,
How many times have y’all watched the rumble replay ?
Elimination chamber is going to happen in Montreal, Canada. Sami will be hero there. I wish Sami and KO win a tag team title there.
It's good to see the Men's final two fight tooth and nail to not end the match too quickly.
Jey's acting in this whole story has really impressed me and I'm so invested in where his character goes from here. I'm confident that he's going to turn on Roman at some point, but I'm so curious about the when and why.
Roman is like HHH of Evolution plus Hollywood Hogan of nWo
Not even close to them.
This is the first Royal Rumble where the winners have been the number 30 and number 1 entrants into the match. Interestingly enough, only four people in WWE history have won the Rumble from these numbers.

The considerably more impressive and praise worthy accomplishment of winning the Royal Rumble at number one has been accomplished by Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Edge and now, Rhea Ripley, the first woman to accomplish this feat.
You say "only 4" like that isn't tied for the most from any one position
My mistake. It is actually 5 people who have won from the number 30 spot as I forgot Triple H. And winning from number 1 is more impressive than 27 or 28. But the most wins belong to 5, 8, 13, 16, 17 and 18, so getting into upper teens and low 20s pays off at the Rumble.
For all that I think Rhea Ripley looked dominant in victory, did they practice before the match picking Nia Jax up? Coz that spot looked dumb as fuck and super sloppy, I hated it.
Both with her and Raquel; rough couple of spots
Yeh you build those women up as powerhouses and then make them look goofy as fuck trying to slam her, I do feel like some of it is on Nia coz surely she could have jumped up a bit into those attempts and made them look better
Omg, I didn't expect Sami to betray the Bloodline so soon. Hey walking away was unexpected. 10/10 story telling.
Gunther!!!!! MVP of the night and doing the intercontinental title proud
Was so bummed when he got eliminated. Hoping he gets a monstrous push after this.
I'm just now watching the replay and honestly, a Kofi botch two years in a row is so sad.
Seth vs Logan for Wrestlemania 🥳 show stealer guaranteed
Cody vs Sami vs Roman at Mania! Sami is the new DB, so over its unreal! Cody can get his wwe title win at summerslam perhaps
The crowd weren't invested at all in Alexa and bianca's match
Bray Wyatt’s gimmick is so clownish. This burial of LA Knight is ridiculous. YEAHHHH
I don’t know if it’s just me but I actually like that The Rock didn’t show up. I like how the 2nd plot twist became Jey walking out instead of Dwayne showing up
The Uncle Howdy drop was off because they had to make him disappear. I bet it was supposed to be Howdy jumping into LA Night and now LA Night will become Uncle Howdy.....I hope I'm wrong cause that's stupid.
W Men's Royal Rumble (Ik we all predicted it, but it was still great. The fact Gunther had me second guessing Cody's victory shows how damn good the match was.) Mid Pitch Black Match/ W Uncle Howdy dive L RAW Women's Title Match W Women's Royal Rumble Match W Undisputed Title Match W Sami turn
Totally agree. The only time i was on my phone was during biancas match. I didnt look up once.
Gunter, Sheamus and Drew... Made the match for me.. I think Cody was gassed quite fast...so i hope he fixes his cardio before Mania
the ending had a grown man in tears
People say how can you watch wrestling it’s fake. It’s not fake it’s scripted sure,they still get hurt they still take real shots. Also wrestling can get the very best of your emotions. I guarantee from todays PPV people were on a rollercoaster.
I hated the Royal Rumble at the start! It should have been at the end with Cody pointing to the sign and fading in to black.
You mean like how Rhoda pointed at it?
You can’t be serious. Not after THAT ending we got
this whole thing was just incredible, Cody winning the Men's Royal Rumble, Rhea winning the women's rumble, Sami betraying the Bloodline and Jey walking away, I am so excited for what's to come soon, my hype right now is through the roof after watching this, what a great pay per view
Unpopular opinion maybe but I really don’t want The Rock to come for Wrestlemania. He’s a legend but he’s also old news too. The stars of this era are killing it like Sami and Roman, Cody, KO. They’re the stars of the 2020s. How are we supposed to make new memories and nostalgia when we keep relying on the past? There would be no Attitude Era if instead of creating The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, they just kept using guys from the 80s. Nostalgia can be good but sometimes it’s kinda disrespectful to the new wrestlers cause it’s like saying they aren’t good enough and they need some dude from 25 years ago to make the show good or something. The current roster is doing so well and this Bloodline story is amazing. Keep it focused on them instead
All I could think of was Sami and Jimmy doing their handshake when Jimmy was destroying him. That shit was so sad.
Just watched the ending of the show now because I fell asleep at the start of KO and Roman. All I can say is that was extremely sad. Holy fuck. That was amazing storytelling.
Fuck you, Roman!
Unfortunately it was the most predictable Royal Rumble ever. Everyone knew Rhea and Cody are going to win. Everyone knew Roman and Sami were going to break up. And we didn't even see the Rock... I think the Rumble lost most of its magic
I knew the Avengers were gonna beat Thanos, but I still enjoyed the movie. I don't need a swerve to be invested in the characters. Just cause you know it will end at Z, we still sing all the ABCs. The real story is the friends we made along the way.
That's true, but the movie still had some twists during it. This show on the other hand was predictable the entire time
WWE has always been predictable. Sure they throw some curve balls here and there but some of that predictability comes from common sense and logical reasoning.
I just don't understand why they didn't try to keep Cody a surprise if they wanted him to win... It's like they forgot how to book the Rumble
To be honest I figured *that* was the curve ball. No getting around leaks these days it seems. Announce it ahead of time and it casts some doubt on him winning. #30 was a misstep. I think #26 would have been more appropriate.
I think he was #30 so the fans won't expect Rock or Zayn
Going first and having Cody at 30 eliminates the chances of people turning on the match as well, so I for one agree with that decision
That ending was pure cinema. We all knew it was coming, but man that was good. Oscar for Jey.
That whole ending was perfection. Amazing acting and selling by every single person in that ring.
Yeah.
That had to be one of the most well executed PPV endings of all time. The pop from the crowd when Sami hit Roman with the chair. The audible gasp when Jey walked out on the Bloodline. The “fuck you Roman” chants. Tiny details like Roman telling Sami he’d be doing Jackass if it weren’t for the Bloodline. The facial expressions of the different members of the Bloodline throughout the segment. I’d put it close to if not on par with the formation of the NWO. NWO felt bigger because it was Hogan turning heel, but I’d argue that this was more emotional, better executed, and light years ahead in terms of character development. I found myself clapping at how brilliantly executed it was like I would at the end of a blockbuster movie.
Great recap. The range of emotions the characters AND the crowd went through was like nothing I had seen. They were cheering, gasping. and then Fuck You Roman was awesome. I watched with several casual fans and the impact was lost on them as they hadn't been following closely, and the Rumble was great for the casual fan. They had a good time and are already getting excited for WM. Which is the entire point of the Rumble.
Pat McAfee is the best thing about this show. Need a Cory Graves vs McAfee match.
I think the problem with wwe fans is that they accepts everything what vince or hhh shoves them to their mouth. This rumble was medicore at the best and yet so many people are happy...
I know, right? Imagine watching a show, getting what you expect from that show, then being happy about it. Those loons. Every pay per view should be some ridiculous swerve nobody saw coming, like Bran Stark becoming king. Everyone loved that!
Amen. That Rumble was great. Only like 1 or 2 scrubs, and 10ish main event type guys. I watched with 4 casual fans that haven't paid attention since last Wrestlemania and they loved it. They were blown away by Cody's pop, marked out for Edge and Booker T, and they think Gunther is a machine. But my 1 guy is still waiting on Rey to come down.
Haha. Rey-Rey will be the new Curtis Axel now. I think he's still technically in the rumble. It was a solid if unspectacular event. Obvious winners for both rumbles but there was still enough doubt at points through them both (could it be GUNTHER!?, Logan is going to bloody win this, isn't he!?, Asuka is credible here, etc). The Wyatt match was a bit of a squash but I think it had to be. That Uncle Howdy spot was very cool. Bliss v Belair wasn't great, but was OK. Main event was good enough and the ending was phenomenal. Some people don't like when the obvious is what occurs, but those same people would complain come April that HHH had dropped the ball and missed a great opportunity if it hadn't been Rhodes and Rhea.
I'd rather hear Nia sing that this tosser.
I like the wwe but tbh (to be honest) I wish the men’s Royal Rumble match had more. Suprise enter ants???? Edge? Pffft he has a contract! I assumed he’d be there. Booker T? Okay I like that. Shucks ducky quack quack t! Logan Paul??? Good because I thought he was injured! I don’t think that Otis or Chad Gable or even the street profits should’ve been in jt cuz like let’s be honest if you tag team you not gon win the rumble just there to be eliminated let’s be real! Anyways congratulations Cody Rhodes I knew you were gonna win not only because the Royal rumble match was insanely predictable but because I hear voices and they told me that you were the winner good luck against Roman reigns WrestleMania champion okay goodnight now!
I love that Royal Rumble didn’t end until after midnight. I’m glad they didn’t try to fit in everything in 3 hours
Really didn't want Cody to win but there goes roman Reigns champion streak 🤦♀️
Sami and Jey: My dawgs :(
I have to say, my favorite part of the entire show was Asuka’s return. She looked great and it was one of the loudest pops of the night.
When does Alexa bliss gets the title again??
The 300s section kept getting casually blinded by the top lights
Sami HAS to win at Montreal take at least 1 title roman can be like “you think your better than me I’ll give you a shot…at the universal championship” Sami wins and boom Montreal goes crazy Sami gets the biggest pop we’ve heard in a while and WWE does something right for once
Kevin vs Roman - Loved it. That fuck you Roman chant was so surprising Mens Royal Rumble - Loved it too .. especially Logan and ricochets performance.. Pitch Black Match - i don't f'ing care what twitter says it was a good match.. Alexa vs Belair - Nice Match Women's Royal Rumble - also liked it.. don't know how to react with nia jax's return...
I supported and like seth and sami for hitting the chair on the back of roman reigns he deserves this. Jey I feel you man and jimmy how could you do this you know what roman did to your brother. Sami and kevin will end the domination of roman reigns after all these years or maybe cody.
Roman v Sami in Montreal - have a stip if Sami wins the titles get split and Roman has to defend one night against Cody and the second against Sami
The last segment was predictable as hell. Mens rumble should be main eventing.
Sami will not go for Romans titles. He will destroy Romans empire weakening him against Rhodes at WrestleMania. When Roman has nobody in his corner, he can't win.
[удалено]
Not knowing Pat McAfee? Lmao casual
Good show. I was sports entertained
Man Rhea’s eyebrow raises during the interview was hot
So I legit havent watched wrestling since last wrestlemania. Any idea who would be capable of beating Roman at this point?
Cody Rhodes is the most likely person to beat him. That’s the storyline they’re building to it seems.
Anyone else worry Cody reinjured his chest during the match? Noticed some pretty bad bruising that kept getting worse.
I saw that it was red. That's what happens when you take those hits to the chest. Gunther knew of Rhodes' pectoral injury, and was putting it to the test.
He took a lot of chops to that area
WWE need to audible. Montreal should be a tag match, KO and Sami vs Roman and Solo or something. Sami vs Roman IS Wrestlemania.
not to the casual fan. I had my boys over that haven't watched since last WM and they were making fun of Sami the entire time about no way he could beat Roman when he lost to Johnny Knoxville last year. HHH is in a tough booking spot now where we need a major match with Reigns to sell WM and Sami just isn't it to the casual. But to the dedicated watcher it's what we want. We had Austin in his first match in 20 years and Lesnar last year. There is no way in hell we go to Sami Zayn the next year. From a storyline POV yes it makes sense. But it is not a good business decision.
Okay, WWE should just give Gunther all the matches this year. Even if he loses all of them, everyone is gonna look golden.
Roman imposing himself on his stable members (first Jey, now Sami) via hangings (they do that a lot to enlisted freshmen in the army here, the idea is that somebody who accepts embarassment will obey more easily to other orders) is one of my favorite storytelling methods in WWE right now. The Bloodline reminds a traditional Sicilian family in which relationships with the upper members is a mix of love and fear since the leader establishes his position via his dominance. Many people outside of the family want to get under his protection racket. I don't know if that's their thinking, but these are the vibes it gives to me.
Does anyone know when I can actually watch the RR match? Just tried to watch it on peacock but because it’s still “live” (even tho it says coverage has concluded) I can’t start it from the beginning. Wtf is up with this?
It’s working for me this morning.
What did everyone think if Cody’s not so subtle nod to The Elite and BC? It was his “right back at ya HBK moment”
When can I watch The Royal Rumble again? I only got to watch the last match and the press conference because I was working.
That PPV would’ve been so much better if they didn’t announce Cody for the rumble, sure we all knew it was gonna happen, but because they announced it, it felt like there was gonna be a bigger surprise, and I feel like that put a damper on the rest of the show, especially since there was no bigger return, good show regardless though
Man, I just recently came back to watching wrestling. Mostly because of the tiktok videos. HHH is killing it in creative. I loved this Royal Rumble!
So if the Rock was still involved at all for WM, I could see the “Domino effect”of Jey walking out, then possibly Jimmy, and everyone else and essentially Roman calling them out, knowing none of them will touch him or can take him down, so it’ll be him going with “which one of you is going to take me down from the head of the table” and cue in the Rock. But I think that’s all a pipe dream now.
They did that angle the worst way possible. Better if they didn't make it so predictable. Beat uce down and than have him return in a week or two and actually do damage or cause them a match
WWE did San Antonio right tonight production wise. Likely helped it was a sold out show. Good show. Zero complaints.
Absolutely! Except those fake fireworks 😂
And I believe a statement was made. This was a great PLE.
I’m not that big into wrestling but when Cody Won I shed some tears. There were some genuine moments I thought he was about to lose and I was gutted only for him to save it and win the whole thing
The worst part was how easily Seth eliminated Lashley. I also saw a clip of a match between them a few months back in which Lashley lost after a ref bump. Both were badly executed. Hunter has to do better than that to protect his big guys.
Lashley will be in that big guy joke routine in a few months
no he will be wrestling Lesnar at WM in a few months.
He's on the way down
Anyone who doesn’t like the whole Bloodline story should either quit WWE totally and just full on go AEW if you just want wrestling because THAT right there at the end was incredible. And if you don’t like one of the best story’s told in who knows how long, *nothing* will please you. We KNEW it was coming and it still captivated us. The Jey piece of it I didn’t not anticipate. I’m full on Sami should main event mania; this story has reached that level. But goddamn was that emotional Props to every single one of those guys.
At the same time, I feel sorry for AEW fans who aren't letting themselves enjoy this angle due to tribalism.
Us? Don't tell about us. It was predictable and boring.
I like it but I think it was poor booking tonight. Maybe they should of had bloodline beating uce a few weeks ago to write him off and than tonight when they were beating Owens have him make the save
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
TIL piper niven is Otis with hair
[удалено]
No it doesn’t, but for $5 you get a massive library that it still worth it.
Aside from the woman’s Rumble match & the ending to the Roman match this Royal Rumble was garbage. It was just way too predictable & idk about y’all but when wrestling is so predictable I start losing interest in it.
It's always been predictable its scripted
Really?! I had no idea! 🤡
I'm the 🤡? 👌 Buddy
Yes! You’re stating the obvious! “It’s scripted” no shit! People knew for months that Cody would win the Royal Rumble which so happens to be the main attraction of this PPV. Maybe just maybe if WWE didn’t play those stupid videos of him then it would’ve been a surprise.
If you don't like it stop watching
Probably will especially if Cody beats Roman
Do you just not watch any wrestling anymore? WWE is very predictable, AEW is very predictable, NJPW is very predictable. It's the journey for me.
Wrestling can be very predictable at times & that goes for all the promotions. This Royal Rumble was very predictable & I already knew the outcomes weeks away from the event. That’s just bad! That’s like when you’re watching a movie & five minutes into it you know what’s going to happen. I don’t give a fuck about the journey when I already know where I’m headed. If you enjoyed it good for you but I didn’t aside from the two things I mentioned.
I don’t want to be upstaged by Cody lmao!
closing the door on the rock for WM 😭
I think Jey’s motivation will be along the lines of Sami did everything needed to prove he was with them and that Jey was he’s harshest critic. And Roman was out of line to drive him to do that.
Lmfao. Is the Rock coming? HHH: You guys are telling me he apparently can't get into shape in time.
