GDT: WWE Royal Rumble (27th January 2019)

[GKJ]

how to ruin the man by becoming a man.

I can’t see them doing it. They simply don’t do intergender, I guess unless it’s a total geek like Ellsworth. And there’s still ways you could do this and have good setups but I don’t see it.

Looks like a good show, I don't know who I would like to see win the rumble matches. I was pleased with Nakamura's (and Asuka's) win last year, though it didn't work out well in the end. In terms of booking I suppose that Rollins makes the most sense, though I'm not a big fan of his. If I could select my own winner I'd probably go with Samoa Joe. Lynch winning the men's royal rumble would be the worst idea that WWE has tried in a rumble and would make pretty much everyone involved look bad. I expect her to win the women's rumble, but there is always the possibility that McMahon decides to swerve people needlessly. Maybe the most dominant woman in royal rumble history - Michelle McCool - can pull out the victory this time, that'll put butts in seats.

Lars almost certainly debuts tonight, right?

If he's feeling right he could be, chances going up if Cena is in the building.

Royal Rumble>Wrestlemania. Don’t @ me.

Word is he was told he’s welcome back whenever he’s ready.

Lars almost certainly debuts tonight, right?

Depends on his anxiety.

With them possibly writing Cena out of the Rumble itself this week though, they obviously have doubts that he'll be ready.

If he's backstage, I imagine he'll be good to go, so we should know soon

[SeidoN]

You HAVE to put Belair in the Womens rumble tonight right, after last nights reaction. As a one off

Cena officially out of the Rumble.

Breaking news: John Cena will not compete in Men's Royal Rumble Match due to injury

 

[SeidoN]

WWE twitter saying Cena is officially out

 

[Disclose]

They’re playing last years rumble... forgot the Heath Slater act.
Hilarious stuff.

6PM CT... 7PM ET

thanks for lettin' me know i might watch

 

[Cor]

6PM CT... 7PM ET

Interesting.

The Rumbles essentially take up 2 hours, so that leaves 2 hours for 5 title matches. They can run over, so let's assume 2.5 hours.


So 30 minutes for each title match.

 

[Disclose]

Isn’t there like a 2 hour pre show with the CW and US titles?

Beth Phoenix on the panel on the kickoff so not in the women's Rumble.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Watched the 2013 Rumble where Ziggler and Jericho basically go practically the entire way.

It's unreal how much better Rey Mysterio and Drew McIntyre physically look now as opposed to six years ago

If they won't let Kana work intergender, they won't let anyone do it.

Beth Phoenix on the panel on the kickoff so not in the women's Rumble.

That was announced. She’ll be on commentary for the women’s Rumble.


By the way, both Rumbles will have 4 commentators.

will wwe ever learn that more commentators == worse commentary?
