GDT: WWE Greatest Royal Rumble (27th April 2018) - No Girls Allowed!

[M.C.G. 31]

HHH is in charge of one and Vince is in charge of the other. It's clear who runs which one if we had no knowledge of the info at this point. No one can tell me otherwise that HHH's product isn't better at this point and can tell me that they DON'T have faith in HHH being in charge of the main roster too when it comes time for him to take over considering the evidence we've seen with NXT.

sure, one is one hour weekly and the other has 5 hours on television, but I have faith in HHH. He's proven to be logical in terms of booking, riding waves of momentum, not be afraid to change things up if the fans reject something (Corbin as a babyface in NXT).

EDIT: also 205 Live and the resurgence in quality since HHH took over.

 

[Emperoreddy]

NXT also knows when to move on to the next thing, though part of that has to do with the roster being in constant flux. No one can really get stale that way. Though they do change direction pretty quickly if something isn’t working, and definitely roll the hot hand for their main event scene.

Drastically different from RAW, and year 4 of the Roman push.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I 100% believe if HHH had total control of the main roster Reigns would be heel by now. Hell, Reigns probably would have been the one to break up The Shield is my guess.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Would HHH ever have total control though? Doesn’t Steph still have a big say with creative on the main roster?

 

[The Gongshow]

Is anyone actually going to watch this live, or in full?

Isn't it on at like 11 a.m on Friday? Eint no way im watching this live. I'll probably skim through it sometime Sunday afternoon. If its like 5 hours I'll skip most of it and watch endings to a few matches

 

[les Habs]

Jericho doesn’t have a contract, he’s the least likely person to win.

I just assumed Jericho was back with a contract. Anyway, don't see Orton on the card yet he's on the graphic. I'm guessing he'll then be in the Rumble and if so would make it almost to the end.

 

[alko]

WTF, almost every man with beard. They need Gillette as the new sponsor.

Steph hasn’t been part of creative for a while

LOL there’s actual Saudi propaganda on r/sc

LOL there’s actual Saudi propaganda on r/sc

What's it saying?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

What's it saying?

Pretty much just trying to say how young and progressive the new prince is. A lot of people are calling BS and calling it a propaganda job because it’s a 20-day old account that has only shilled the event (and defended the Yemen stuff).

I can’t really say much more without getting political. I’ll just say I don’t think Finn Bálor is going to be wearing his “for everyone” shirt, and we definitely aren’t getting women on the card, so...

 

[Kimi]

It's mildly annoying that they didn't make a graphic for Lesnar vs Reigns.

 

[boredmale]

Not sure why the WWe is doing this. It sort of kills the specialness of the Royal Rumble when you have more then 1 a year

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Surprised some nobody amateur wrestler that's distantly related to Saudi royalty hasn't been entered (and slated to win) the "Royal" Rumble.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Maybe the WWE needs to come out and say that this show isn’t official canon

It's basically on at Finnish prime time from 19-24.

Well part of it is true, he is trying to progress the country/society but it's sort of understandable why it's happening slowly. Also the Yemen thing, if he's in charge of that, isn't going so well.

Don't worry, winning this one means nothing.

 

[Jussi]

Don't worry, winning this one means nothing.

So it's just like the real Royal Rumble.

" Today, WWE announced the eight individuals who will continue to receive training this week as we get closer to the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble. From that group of eight, at least one will be participating in the WWE Greatest Royal Rumble, but details weren't given what their role would be. "

Yeah, they announced that a tryout would be getting a spot in the match when they did some profiles on them a week or two ago.

 

[SeidoN]
