Guessing we're gonna have ortan vs Cena match # idk at mania?

 

[GTFan24]

Good lord this PPV was awful.

( minus the Cena/Styles match, that was great )

 

[Sanji Himura]

Guessing we're gonna have ortan vs Cena match # idk at mania?

God, I hope not. Taker vs. Cena needs to happen sooner rather than later. WWE inserting Taker into this whole deal with Lesnar and Goldberg sort of kills what was Goldberg is having with Lesnar.

EDIT: Incase you want to count the number of matches that Cena and Orton have been involved with...

The worst part was THEY HAD THE PERFECT SETUP THIS YEAR.

I've one word: Garbage. I only cared about the actual Rumble match (the only thing I legitimately paid attention to) and I placed way too much stock into it.

Unless Goldberg and/or Brock show up at the next PPV, I'll pay attention again the week of WM.

There were a lot of options this year. They happened to go with one with very few options. I'm banking on Cena losing the title at Elimination Chamber to either Styles or Wyatt.

 

[girabyt3]

Hopefully, eliminator chamber will patch this crap since it's a smackdown PPV... Btw, I have a new car suggestion I will make now and a new, and kind of special friend sent hi to us today in a special event, gonna post his video on my car suggestion thread

These past few years it seems like we had good Rumble matches...until they inevitably get shoved off-track by boneheaded moves.

I actually liked this years Rumble, compared to 2013 - 2016, this is the better Rumble.

The winner wasn't predictable. While I would've liked The Miz to win BUT having non of the part timers or anyone expected to win, not win is fantastic. Unpredictable Rumbles are my favourite kind of Rumbles. I doubt it's going to be Cena vs. Orton, likely that Wyatt is going to win at the Chamber so Orton and Wyatt can end their storyline which IMO would be very interesting since not only Wyatt being champion be amazing , having this feud take its time in the mid scene before exploding into the main picture is perfect as I do feel like the story has properly developed.

As much as I respect Undertaker, just having him swoop in for one last moment seems absolutely cheesy especially since he probably wouldn't even have a Championship reign.

As for Roman Reigns being the surprise entrant (for some reason), yeah 🤬 THAT!!! Glad he didn't win though.

For the main card, I'd say its alright granted the Universal Championship was a bunch of BS. Roman can survive Brass Knuckles but loses to a table?!?

 

[Stephan]

Orton winning the Rumble? I don't mind but if this leads to another Cena vs Orton for the WWEWC title, it better be a Career vs Career match where Cena loses thus making him a part timer like Rock. This also makes Orton the fourth wrestler to win 2 Rumbles (the other 3 being SCSA, HHH, and Cena.).

Cena winning the title? It was expected though considering that he and AJ had spectacular matches so give a credit due to Cena for letting him have his 16th world title reign and tying Flair's record.

On the other hand, I'm glad Gallows and Anderson finally won the Raw Tag titles It's been long overdue but still worth it though.

But here's the question though for this year's Rumble winner, since there are two world titles, wouldn't that mean that Orton gets to choose who he will fight against at Wrestlemania?

Oh and one more thing:

Spoiler

THANK YOU ORTON AND OWENS! YOU SAVED US FROM ROMAN REIGNS!

I'm very okay with Cena having the WWE Championship again. He hasn't had a title of any kind since he dropped the U.S. Championship to Alberto Del Rio in 2015, so to me this is welcome. Though I question how everyone thinks that it'll be just Wyatt/Orton at Mania if Cena loses. Neville holding the Cruiserweight Championship is great, as is the Club holding the Raw Tag Titles. A lot of overdue reigns starting. If only they'd get the Women's Championship off Charlotte and keep it off for a while. I'm bored of her reign and quite literally would accept a reign from Summer Rae or Eva Marie if it meant getting away from Charlotte for a bit.

 

[GTFan24]

I have never been more happy for The Club than when they became Tag Team Champs last night. They absolutely freaking deserve it after all the bs they went through on Raw 👍

You think the 'E would add a third man (Cena) if it came down to Orton v Wyatt at Wrestlemania...? Adding a third man right before the main event isn't brand new to Wrestlemania, after all that's what saved us from having Batista vs Orton a few Manias ago, but still...

As for the Raw's Womens title, I'll gladly take Bayley winning the belt at Wrestlemania. Since Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch have all won belts as main roster members, it's only fair for the same to happen to Bayley... Then can come the tragic Eva Marie matches.

As for the Rumble, all I've seen is a highlights video, but it's enough to tell me it was an ok event for the most part. I could do with less Braun Strowman, but the PPV's biggest problem was putting all big stories near the end of the Rumble, ending most of them in a heartbeat, adding a dash of Roman Reigns and then end the match just like that. Well, such is the life of a Rumble...

 

[Kryption]

I honestly haven't watched wwf since like the mid 90s :/

 

[Com Fox]

Never been a fan of the club, to me they haven't been anything special whatsoever. So them winning the titles is a bit of a let dpwn to me.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Really enjoyed the whole thing i have to say, started watching it at 5.45am this morning before going to work, doing an 8-hour shift, then coming back and watching the rest of it, its now 23.37pm!

Show got off to a slow but decent start with the Women's title match which was pretty good, Charlotte was always going to retain, the Universal title match was enjoyable don't get the finish (why did Strowman interfere?!), enjoyed the cruiserweight match too, always thought Neville would win the title, he is actually a really good heel, then the WWE title match, match of the night for me, Holy **** it was good, it was so back and forth that i thought the match would end like five times before it actually did! Never expected Cena to win at all, what a brilliant surprise that was, big congrats to him, well deserved!

And on to the Rumble match itself, i don't mind Orton winning at all, but does raise more questions than answers for me, they could have put in Nakamura and Joe in instead of Enzo and Reigns which disappointed me, i like Roman but i hate the fact that they are shoving him in our faces all the time, he is way too over-exposed!, plus it looks like he will face the Undertaker at WM now as he eliminated him, it was good to see Lesnar and Goldberg ripping through everyone before they went out, which wasn't really surprising to me as we all know they face each other at WM.

So yeah all in all it was good for me, looking forward to the next few weeks with great interest as i have no idea who Orton will face, or what will happen to Cena...or Styles, or what happens to the likes of Strowman, Corbin, Ambrose Miz, Jericho etc.......

Really need some sleep now as its 23.52!
