13 unannounced superstars for the Rumble has me hoping we get some decent surprises and not just all of them being filled with the lower card guys no one cares about. Give me at least three good surprises please.

man Alvarez tweeted all the returning customer offers that have been getting emailed out recently, and none of my 6 burner emails got one :sarcasm:

While I like the teams involved in the tag feuds but I'm also kinda tired of 'em. I have to think at least one of the titles change hands. The main title matches could be mildly interesting but I don't see either belt coming off the champs.

This show rests entirely on the rumble matches. I dread it being Cena or Reigns winning the men's match...I'd love to be pleasantly surprised. The women's match should be fine. Curious to see who are the surprise entrants.

I hope guys on the undercard are also in the Rumble. WWE seems to go back and forth on that. Doesn't make sense for them to not also be in the Rumble.

I want to see Braun at number one just moments after losing after Brock pins Kane.

I know it won't happen, but I'm hoping for Becky and Rusev to each win their respective Rumbles. They're both outstanding workers, the fans are into them, and it would make up for how they've been lost in the shuffle over the last year.

Any guesses on surprise entrants? Since it's in Philly, they'll probably be an ECW-alumni in there.

Why the f*** does Steph need to be out there for commentary? Let the normal crew do it. She will just jump in the spotlight. I hate that.

Obviously it wouldn’t never happen but imagine the Philly crowd if the lights go out and then Enter Sandman comes on.

I created a new account to get the free month for the Rumble and I’ll probably end up doing the same for Mania :laugh:

This will sound absolutely crazy but I think Dolph Ziggler is winning the Royal Rumble

Says the guy who used to have the username "Dolph Ziggler".

In other non bias news, HF poster "Paris in Flames" thinks the song "Paris in Flames" by Thursday is pretty good.

Steph isn’t going to say no, but she is not part of creative. She’s doing this because Vince wants her too. She may feel compelled to do it, but she’s not doing it because she said so.

Ziggler's probably a long shot but I could see him returning for sure and being in the final four.

I think it's either Cena or Nakamura.
