ROYAL RUMBLE – 2017

THE ROYAL RUMBLE – 2017

Below is the card, and our picks, for the 2017 Royal Rumble

 

KICKOFF SHOW

SHEAMUS and CESARO v. The BULLET CLUB (GALLOWS and ANDERSON)

We are picking Sheamus and Cesaro, who are, pound for pound, the most boring Tag Team in WWE.

MAIN CARD

NIA JAX v. SASHA BANKS

We’re going with Sasha Banks – not for any particular reason.  We really don’t care who wins.

BLISS/JAMES/NATALYA v. LYNCH/BELLA/NAOMI

We’re picking the heels – Bliss, James, and Natalya.  And would Natalya still be wrestling if she weren’t a Hart?

RICH SWAN v. NEVILLE

Neville.  They should reinvigorate the high-flying acrobat.

CHARLOTTE v. BAYLEY

The crowd loves Bayley, but you can never go wrong betting on Charlotte.  She’s a Flair.

KEVIN OWENS v. ROMAN REIGNS

Roman Reigns is supposed to be a Face, but gets booed; that says enough. Reigns lacks talent, ability, technique, and can barely talk.  Maybe, he can join BIG SHOW in retirement.

STYLES v. CENA

Let’s Go Cena.  He’s overdue for a PPV victory.  This should be the best match of the night.

THE MAIN EVENT – THE ROYAL RUMBLE

Some possible “unannounced” entrants – SHINSUKE NAKAMURA, FINN BAYLOR, SAMOA JOE, SHANE McMAHON, ZACH RYDER.

Our pick to win – RKO (outta nowhere).

WRESTLEMANIA XXXII

THE MAIN EVENT –THESE WILL BE THE MOST ELABORATE ENTRANCES OF THE NIGHT.  OUR PREDICTION IS THAT SHANE AND THE TAKER WILL BATTLE IN THE CELL, AND THEN McMAHON WILL STEP IN – VINCE McMAHON, THAT IS.  VINCE WILL APPEAR TO BE ON THE TAKER’S SIDE, THEN SWITCH TO SHANE’S SIDE, AND THE McMAHON’S –TOGETHER – DEFEAT THE TAKER.

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP – TRIPLE H IS A HEEL, AND ROMAN REIGNS IS UNWORTHY OF ANYTHING BUT THE RING OF HONOR CHAMPIONSHIP – DIVAS DIVISION.   5:15 WAS TOO LONG FOR ROMAN’S REIGN.  TRIPLE H WILL WIN – WE HOPE.

US CHAMPIONSHIP – COULD RYBACK REALISTICALLY LOSE TO KALISTO?  WE DON’T THINK SO, BUT EITHER WAY, IT’S NOT SO THRILLING.  HAVING THE BIG GUY BEAT UP ON A MIDGET IS NOT SO GRATIFYING.

INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP – GOOD WAY TO ACCELERATE SOME NXT TALENT – WE THINK THAT SAMI ZAYN OR ZACH RYDER WILL WIN.  WOO WOO WOO.

LESNAR v. AMBROSE – WE DON’T SEE HOW LESNAR COULD LOSE.  IT WOULD DETRACT FROM HIS STATURE.  SINCE IT’S A PPV, WE EXPECT LESNAR TO BLADE.

DIVAS CHAMPIONSHIP – CHARLOTTE DOESN’T LOSE.  SHE’S RICK FLAIR’S DAUGHTER.  BECKY IS THE ONLY DIVA WITH TALENT AND TECHNIQUE, BUT THE CREATIVE TEAM DOESN’T CARE.

USOS v. DUDLEYS – USO’s WIN.  EXPECT TABLES, THOUGH.

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS – NEW DAY ROCKS, BUT THE HEELS HAVE TO WIN TOO.  WE PREDICT THE LEAGUE WINS THIS ONE.

TOTAL DIVAS V. B.A.D. AND BLONDE – WE DON’T CARE.

STLYES v. JERICHO – STYLES.

ANDRE THE GIANT MEMORIAL RUMBLE – BRAUN STROWMAN.  HE NEEDS TO BECOME MORE PROMINENT.  THE WYATT FAMILY IS HOLDING HIM BACK.  WE WANT TO SEE STROWMAN v. LESNAR AT THE NEXT PPV.

THE FRANCHISE HAS TO BE SUFFERING WITH CENA, ROLLINS, AND RKO ON THE DISABLED LIST.  EXPECT TO SEE JOHN CENA, THE ROCK, STONE COLD, AND SOME OTHER SURPRISES.  A FEW BLASTS FROM THE PAST WILL GET THE AUDIENCE GOING.  AND EXPECT SOME CONTROVERSIES ABOUT REFEREES, RULE DISPUTES, AND THE LIKE.
