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).

2016 ROYAL RUMBLE

PREDICTIONS FOR 2016 ROYAL RUMBLE:
 
Kalisto v. Del Rio (US Championship) –  Del Rio
Becky Lynch v. Charlotte (Divas Championship) – Charlotte
Usos v. New Day (Tag Team Championship) – New Day
Ambrose v. Owens  (Intercontinental Championship) – Ambrose
Royal Rumble – Stone Cold Steve Austin or The Rock
 
Without Daniel Bryan, Cena, Rollins, and RKO, the product is suffering.  They need something radical for the Royal Rumble. They need a wildcard.
 
We cannot sit through another Sheamus v. Roman Reigns Championship match.  

THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – January 29, 2015

The audience booed Triple H every time he mentioned The Royal Rumble. Brought back bad memories. Triple H threatened to make an announcement that will shake the WWE to its core on Monday – maybe they are switching Smackdown back to Friday? Continue reading THE SMACK ON SMACKDOWN – January 29, 2015

THE ROYAL RUMBLE – January 25, 2015

The Ascension beat the Old Age Outlaws.  Last week, they won a squash against 5′ foureignors; this time they beat a couple of old men. This should give them lots of momentum.  We hope their NeXT match is on NXT.

Mizdow remains a fan favorite, despite Miz & Mizdow losing to the Usos.
