Predictions?
Hopes?
I’d predict Cody and just hope anyone but Brock in the men’s, and for the women I’d predict Rhonda and hope Rhea.

I don’t see anyone aside from Cody and Rhea winning but I’m hoping for Dragon Lee to Debut (preferably early in the rumble), a Chris Masters one-off return, and Rollins vs Gunther to start off a slow burn rumble

A month ago, it was going to be Cody. Now it could actually be Zayn!
For the women I've generally no idea. Rhea is maybe the more obvious one but I've gone with Asuka on my predictions league, leading to a heel turn.
I wonder if Zayn will screw Owens to help Roman retain only for Roman to screw Zayn in the Rumble itself.

So what did everyone think of the event all together?

(Trying to be as generic as possible to avoid spoilers)
Mens Rumble was superb. One of the best ever. I loved that the final 2 got given time.
Blackout match was visually stunning but not much of an actual match. But I'm fine with that as it's all part of a bigger story.
Raw women's title match looked like it was cut short. Passable but I expected more.
Women's Rumble was good. If you're looking for "legends" don't bother, they actually used the roster. Wasn't a fan of the final Entrant or the time given to a couple in there (#4, #8 and #20 specifically).
Main event was fine but it was all about what happened afterwards which took it to a whole new level.
Overall a good event, and there's plenty of potential storylines to go from here.

(Also trying not to spoil anything)
This was my first time watching a WWE show since Summerslam and first wrestling show in a while. I think the winners were the obvious choices.
It was a good show just thought it was weird to start off with the men’s rumble. But I do agree ending the show with Reigns and KO was the right decision.

Feared the worst with number 30 for the women's rumble

It was a good show just thought it was weird to start off with the men’s rumble. But I do agree ending the show with Reigns and KO was the right decision. I was surprised by that decision too, but then realized after the fact that if the Rumble ended the night there would have been too much pressure for title bout consequences to ripple out and undercut the ultimate winner. I think they had the women’s rumble open the last few, so I was good with having the men open and the women go later. |

I’ve been trying not to say this because it might just be recency bias or hyperbole but I feel like the Ironman of the men’s rumble should be the biggest star of the modern era (although I definitely have my bias towards Carmelo Hayes and MJF)

Personally I would’ve preferred if this year Cody was the iron man but putting Gunther was also a good decision. |
