Was at the Rumble and I'll give some thoughts real quick. AJ vs Cena was no doubt the highlight of the night. The crowd was into it from the jump. I was chanting as hard as I could for AJ and definitely was singing "John Cena Suuuuuucks!!!" when his music came on. I was disappointed AJ lost but I couldn't even really be mad cuz it was a fantastic match and Cena had a nice finish with the roll over double AA. I am getting tired of them deciding the cruiser weight matches with a submission moves instead of an off the top rope finisher. It was an okay match otherwise. Owens vs Reigns was much better then expected. And I was laughing my butt off every time Jericho would start shaking the bars wanting out. Thank heavens Strowman interfered and the crowd appreciated it as well. The Rumble itself was fairly hype. I'll give WWE this...they were smart for bringing Roman in so no one would boo Orton once he won. But I do hope like other posters have said that Cena will drop the belt before Mania. I just have trouble seeing Orton and Bray main eventing Mania but if they build up the match right who knows. Also the whole thing was much shorter then expected. It was like a match got cut or something which I think really might have happened. Figured it would be after 10 when it was over and it was barely past 9:30 when Orton won. And the monitor malfunctions were annoying as well All in all I really enjoyed it though. Can't wait for Survivor Series in Htown!
Spoiler: Fastlane rumored card Goldberg vs KO (Universal Title) Rollins vs Joe Zayn vs Jericho (US Title) Bayley vs Charlotte (Women's Title) Cesaro/Sheamus vs Gallows/Anderson (Tag Titles) Swann vs Neville (Cruiserweight Title) Reigns vs Stroman
Guess he really shouldn't have messed with Haitch But seriously that friggin sucks. Hope its not too serious. He was building towards a great match at Wrestlemania
Dang man he didn't even have a match at the Rumble and still ended up getting hurt. If it's not too bad they can still incorporate him into the storyline so we can at least get him fighting at Mania. Damn shame if he can't fine Joe at the next PPV though...would've been a great match.
Between Undertaker's apparent hip issues, and Rollins' new knee injury, the Mania card is gonna require a lot of late shuffling - ala WM32. There is sooo much talent they can utilise, especially sitting in NXT, but the storylines might struggle to come together over the 2 months remaining.
Wouldn't say that, he took wayyyy worse bumps at Hell in the Cell and Raw match after Survivor Series with Kevin Owens. He's been back since May 2016, so it's not like he was rushed back upon watching the video, it looks like it was a freak accident when Joe put Rollins in the Coquina Clutch, the way Rollins landed to the mat, because he took bumps to the ground off the rails like nothing, even got in the ring fine without a wince
Samoa Joe is the real deal. He did the same thing to Nakamura but didn't get injured. That means Rollins is injury Prone and Nakamura is a yakuza. A real Mother****in G!!!!
Bet its a work... I mean it seems like it would go with the story Triple H was trying to tell in his promo on Monday, about how Seth crumbled under the pressure. But idk
Apparently in some angle you could see Joe asking if Rollins was hurt, and Rollins said "I hope not." Were it a work, I doubt Joe would have shown concern.
Yesss! That's the best booked fued heading into WM. I wish he could face Joe at Fastlane but it's not like they can't have a match on RAW leading in
Never would have believed anyone if they told me Goldberg would face Kevin Owens for a WWE World Title
I hope so. I want this on the card at WM Bray v Orton (WWE Title) Rollins v HHH Owens v Jericho (Universal) Balor v Joe Charlotte v Sasha v Bayley v Nia Styles v Shane O Mac IC Ladder Match (Ambrose, Corbin, Ziggler, Kalisto, Crews, etc) Alpha v The Revival (Open Challenge)
From what I've read it's not yet known that Rollins will be able to fight at Mania. How about Finn v Owens Joe v Reigns Jericho v Strowman* HHH v Shane AJ v Taker Cena v Orton v Bray IC ladder match (why not, I guess) Charlotte vs Bayley vs Nia vs Sasha Bliss vs Naomi * Lame match, I know, but I don't think the KO/Jericho split will happen in time for Mania. And this will have both KO and Jericho losing their titles, which would be the catalyst for their break up.
Owens/Jericho and Reigns/Taker are locks at this point Rollins should be good to go for his match vs. HHH.
