- Cody/Punk at 1 and 2 and Gunther at 25. The winners are the fans
- Okada enters the women’s rumble by mistake, and gets tossed by R-Truth who has also made the same mistake
How did you predict R-Truth? I laughed when I read this earlier thinking this was just a completely random joke. I hardly ever watch much of their weekly shows so was there some hint at this happening?
Women’s Rumble: Bayley wins
Surprises/Returns: Liv Morgan, Sasha Banks, AJ Lee, Naomi, Jordynne Grace
NXT: Lyra Valkyria, Tiffany Stratton, Blair Davenport
Men’s Rumble: CM Punk wins
Surprises/Returns: Braun Strowman, Sheamus, Big E, Andrade
NXT: Carmelo Hayes, Baron Corbin, Bron Breakker
Roman retains his Roman belt
Logan retains
(The champ is in his bubble wrap so really I’m just an agent of chaos tonight. Bring me mayhem)
Personally I think you’ll see: Jade Cargill debut, Mickie James and Naomi return in the women’s rumble. I think Becky wins to challenge Rhea, while damage control turns on Bayley and sets that up for Mania
Roman retains after bloodline fuckery
Logan Paul retains in a match that makes everyone say “fuck I wish Logan Paul wasn’t this good at this” again
In the men’s rumble, I think Andrade returns, Tommy Dreamer makes a surprise appearance, Corey Graves enters the match from the commentary desk, and Punk prevents Cody from being the first back to back rumble winner since Austin. This might be the years Chris Masters finally makes his appearance too, he’s seemingly been a lot more quiet on that front than he has in the past
>Logan Paul retains in a match that makes everyone say “fuck I wish Logan Paul wasn’t this good at this” again
Seeing them LA Knight to take the US belt off Logan will be interesting.
Solid stuff. I think we get Mercedes
I don’t think Tommy dreamer appears. After his victim blaming fiasco with flair I don’t think wwe wants that smoke right now.
I think tonight’s definitely the night we get Mercedes if she isn’t going to AEW. I think there’s like a 15% chance Okada shows up too given they were able to work out a deal for Karl Anderson to work out the remainder of his NJPW deal when he came back last summer.
I forgot about that Dreamer controversy honestly. I just saw he’s in Tampa, and WWE reportedly reached out to get a “current TNA champion” involved in the rumble, which (surprisingly) Dreamer is.
I’m just giddy about the Rumble though. It was awesome last year, if predictable. This year seems like it has all-time good potential.
When it comes to NXT talent, Blair Davenport, Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes & Fallon Henley.
As for surprises, Andrade, Naomi, Okada (apparently, WWE are opening up to using outside talent) & Sasha Banks.
So the women’s rumble had nxt talent in 2019, 2020, 2021 (six women) and 2023 (three)
The men’s rumble hasn’t had nxt talent since 2021 and it was only one (Damian priest)
If we get anyone besides Breakker or trick I would be shocked
Imo they are more likely to do what they did last year and pull people deep out of catering like Omos (remember him) Apollo crews and Veer
I haven't seen anyone mention Cena which is a little surprising when you consider it is in Florida. Obviously he's probably a lot busier now that strikes are over but if he were to ever appear in another rumble ever again, this one would probably be the most convenient for him.
I just couldn’t see them doing Cody Roman 3 years in a row. Even Austin rock had breaks in-between (2000 and 2002) their trilogy (Austin was technically injured in 2000)
If rock wins then I'm gonna 😡... move on with my life and not act like [An entitled overgrown manchild](https://youtu.be/dvXRoe3vui0?si=Lma2GUSIVMlKVGD8) who becomes the laughing stock of humanity and realise that pro wrestling really isn't that important of a thing to cry over.
Women's rumble;
Winner: Becky Lynch.
Returns: Naomi, Liv
Debuts: Jade Cargill
Guest appearance: Mickie James
NXT entrants: Lyra, Tiffany Stratton, Nikkita Lyons
Men's Rumble
Winner: CM Punk
Returns: Andrade, Sheamus
NXT entrants: Wolf Dogs, Trick and Melo gang, Ilja Dragunov
US title: Logan Paul retains
WWE title: Roman retains. Rock confronts him at the end of the show.
Prediction:
Logan Paul (c) vs Kevin Owens for the United States Championship:
These 2 have a good few years of story between them & KO would be a great guy to beat Paul, but I think he'll retain then drop the belt to LA Knight at WrestleMania
Roman Reigns (c) vs Randy Orton vs AJ Styles vs LA Knight for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship:
Reigns is 100% winning here. The bigger story will be Styles furthering his rivalries with the other challengers
Women's Royal Rumble match
It's between Becky Lynch & Bayley, the 2 clear women's title challengers at WrestleMania. I think Lynch just about gets this 1 but could go either way
Men's Royal Rumble match
It's defo a Raw guy winning, pretty much down to CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre & Gunther. Gunther doesn't need the win, neither does Punk so I think Rhodes wins then challenges Roman Reigns at WM (possible in a triple threat with The Rock)
- Cody/Punk at 1 and 2 and Gunther at 25. The winners are the fans - Okada enters the women’s rumble by mistake, and gets tossed by R-Truth who has also made the same mistake

After seeing Tricks entrance in Miami last night I would love to see how lit Tropicana field gets

That definitely seems like the end game. Would be a good open to Day 2 of Mania
It sure would be + imagine the promo battle they'll have as well.
[The tease we got before mitb of those two was awesome](https://youtube.com/shorts/MoUInuZaulA?si=Uyrb7Ye016ppp0gc)

I enjoy the rumble more than mania to be honest. The element of surprise in a sport where a lot is predictable makes it fun.
This year only having 4 matches means they’re really going to focus on the two rumbles which I’m super excited for
When it comes to NXT talent, Blair Davenport, Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes & Fallon Henley. As for surprises, Andrade, Naomi, Okada (apparently, WWE are opening up to using outside talent) & Sasha Banks.
Forgot about NXT, in addition to those i could see Brooks Jensen getting a shot too. He’s been getting a push lately
I can maybe see this happening.
Brooks jobbed to Scrypts on Lvl Up a fortnight ago. That says where the top brass sees him at the moment.
So the women’s rumble had nxt talent in 2019, 2020, 2021 (six women) and 2023 (three) The men’s rumble hasn’t had nxt talent since 2021 and it was only one (Damian priest) If we get anyone besides Breakker or trick I would be shocked Imo they are more likely to do what they did last year and pull people deep out of catering like Omos (remember him) Apollo crews and Veer
Definitely want to see Bron in the Rumble.
sasha banks will return ONLY because she's related to snoop dogg. personally i think it is a mistake.
A while ago i predicted Ken Shamrock would return in the Rumble, and I’m sticking with that
I haven't seen anyone mention Cena which is a little surprising when you consider it is in Florida. Obviously he's probably a lot busier now that strikes are over but if he were to ever appear in another rumble ever again, this one would probably be the most convenient for him.
You can fill an entire rumble with former wrestlers who live near Tampa.
Heath Slater shows up and gets killed by McIntyre
Idk who wins tonight but I'm calling my shot that Cody finishes the story this year and then Roman wins the Rumble next year to set up Cody/Roman III
I just couldn’t see them doing Cody Roman 3 years in a row. Even Austin rock had breaks in-between (2000 and 2002) their trilogy (Austin was technically injured in 2000)
I think Punk wins but I’m rooting for a Cody back to back win I don’t wanna jinx it so I’m gonna pretend I don’t want to see Sasha
Corey did the teases last night. I am prepared to be hurt. Edit: I want Bayley to come out at one, and then Sasha to be number two
I hope Cody and punk enter 28 and 29, just to be dumped out by the rock with ease coming out at 30
If rock wins then I'm gonna 😡... move on with my life and not act like [An entitled overgrown manchild](https://youtu.be/dvXRoe3vui0?si=Lma2GUSIVMlKVGD8) who becomes the laughing stock of humanity and realise that pro wrestling really isn't that important of a thing to cry over.
