Re: Roundtable - Royal Rumble 2017

Postby The Legend » Jan 25, '17, 4:23 pm

KICKOFF SHOW:

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax
Comments: With this match being on the kickoff show I see it as Nia going to win by working on the leg. Sasha will get her revenge at the RAW February PPV.

RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Gallows & Anderson
Winners: Cesaro and Sheamus
Comments: I think there's a little more mileage in the Cesaro & Sheamus storyline and I'm not sure Gallows and Anderson are ever going to win the belts.

ROYAL RUMBLE 2017

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya
Winners: Bliss, James and Natalya
Comments: I think Bliss and James will look strong in their partnership debut. Wouldn't be shocked if Natalya got pinned, but right now I'll pick Naomi to take the loss.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rich Swann (c) vs Neville
Winner: Neville
Comments: Rich Swann is a very strange character. I don't see his role as a champion lasting long. Neville should get a nice long run with the belt.

RAW Womens Championship
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Bayley
Winner: Flair
Comments: Bayley's character shouldn't win the belt her first time out. Charlotte will continue to be champion until Mania.

WWE Universal Championship (Chris Jericho above ring in shark cage)
No Disqualification
Kevin Owens (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns
Comments: Owens and Jericho will clearly being facing each other at Mania and it won't be for the belt. Roman will win the belt after spearing Owens through a table.

WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena
Winner: John Cena
Comments: I think Cena wins by countout when Styles walks out on the match. They'll meet again in the Elimination Chamber which Styles can win without actually beating Cena.

2017 Royal Rumble Match
Winner: Undertaker
Final Two: Undertaker, Miz
Final Four: Undertaker, Miz, Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler
Iron Man: Cesaro
Most Eliminations: Braun Strowman
Comments: Total random guesses

Bonus Questions:
How many people will Brock, Taker, and Goldberg eliminate between the 3 of them? 12
Name one surprise entrant in the Rumble? Samoa Joe
Will someone from NXT debut in the Rumble? Yes
Will Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens finally split up for good? No, not at Rumble, probably RAW the next night
Does Seth Rollins get back into the Rumble match? No
Will Triple H appear? Yes

Re: Roundtable - Royal Rumble 2017

Postby KaiserGlider » Jan 25, '17, 8:59 pm

KICKOFF SHOW:

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax
Winner: Sasha Banks
Comments: Yes

RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Gallows & Anderson
Winners: Cesaro & Sheamus
Comments: Haven't been following the tag scene on Raw since Roadblock, so it looks odd to me that New Day are no longer in the title scene and the title match is happening on the preshow. 2 referees in the match is interesting, will have to look up what the feud is about.

ROYAL RUMBLE 2017

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya
Winners: Becky, Tits. and Ass
Comments: Since nothing's on the line here I see the babyfaces picking up the win. Why is this a main show match and not Raw's tag titles?

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rich Swann (c) vs Neville
Winner: Neville
Comments: Neville has gotten a new lease on life both for himself and the cruiserweight division. Don't know much about this rich swan, but it sounds like it's shit.

RAW Womens Championship
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Bayley
Winner: Charlotte
Comments: Seems like a match that should be happening at Wrestlemania, unless they have even bigger plans for Charlotte. Safe bet is Flair keeping his undefeated streak.

WWE Universal Championship (Chris Jericho above ring in shark cage)
No Disqualification
Kevin Owens (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Kevin Owens
Comments: Owens is a real safe bet here, though it's never too wise to be against WOAHMAN. I feel like if they wanted to give him the title, they would have done it at Roadblock to set up this match, or on some other show where it will be the closing match.

WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena
Winner: AJ STYLES. THEY DONT WANT NONE.
Comments: This was getting quite 50/50 for me until this past Smackdown where Cena slaughtered AJ on the mic. Now way AJ doesn't rebound back from that. If not, fuck em.

2017 Royal Rumble Match
Winner: Chris Jericho
Final Two: Taker and Jericho
Final Four: Taker, Jericho, BRAAAAUUUN, Sami Zayn
Iron Man: Sami Zayn
Most Eliminations: BRAAAAAUUUN.
Comments:

The Rumble looks amazing. They really knocked it out of the park with the buildup this year. Taker and Jericho seem like the two most likely options to me, and I'm not really confident about either pick. With a Styles looking more likely, a Taker win is looking less likely. Jericho would make sense and is the person I want most to win (aside from Barack, because fuck it), but I don't like how much they've been teasing Jericho/Owens, and not playing up that Jericho can choose to fight AJ instead. If they changed the rules to where a winner HAS to fight their brand's champion, that's fucking lame. Anyway, I hope it's Jericho because 1) he's over as fuck and we NEED a fan-favorite Royal Rumble win, 2) he's never won the Rumble before, 3) it would be arguably the best pick for storyline purposes.

I figure Goldberg will come in, spear a few guys, then get Lesnar'd fairly quickly. With those giants out of the way, BRAAAAAUN is gonnna pick up the slack and clean house with the most eliminations until Undertaker gets him. Sami Zayn is gonna do good and is my pick for ironman of the match, maybe even eliminating BRAAAAAAUN with or without Taker's help. Seth is another good choice for ironman, but I figure Haitch is gonna cerebral assassinate him before he's in there that long.

Bonus Questions:
How many people will Brock, Taker, and Goldberg eliminate between the 3 of them? 10
Name one surprise entrant in the Rumble? KURT FUCKING ANGLE.
Will someone from NXT debut in the Rumble? Shinsukeee Nakamura. Joe can't properly shine with so many other monsters in this match.
Will Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens finally split up for good? Not on this night.
Does Seth Rollins get back into the Rumble match? Yes.
Will Triple H appear? Yes.

Re: Roundtable - Royal Rumble 2017

Postby Str8Shooter » Jan 26, '17, 8:52 am

KICKOFF SHOW:

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax
Comments: They can easily have Sasha lose because of her knee no big deal.

RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Gallows & Anderson
Winners: Cesaro & Sheamus
Comments: There's no one else for these teams to feud with really, so the feud continues forever.

ROYAL RUMBLE 2017

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya
Winners: Alexa, Mickie, Natalya
Comments: I could see Mickie picking up the pinfall in her first match back, most likely over Naomi.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rich Swann (c) vs Neville
Winner: Neville
Comments: It's possible this feud continues on for a while, but Neville has been on fire as a heel and there's really no reason not to put the title on him. It seems like a no brainer.

RAW Womens Championship
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Bayley
Winner: Charlotte Flair
Comments: I don't see them having Charlotte lose her PPV streak on a duel brand PPV where it'll be overshadowed by two big title matches and the Rumble.

WWE Universal Championship (Chris Jericho above ring in shark cage)
No Disqualification
Kevin Owens (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns
Comments: I hope this doesn't happen but the odds seem much more likely that Reigns wins and feuds with someone for the title at Mania than Owens retaining and feuding with Jericho for the strap.

WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena
Winner: John Cena
Comments: Again, hope AJ wins but having him actually beat Cena again seems very unlikely. They'll want Cena and Roman as champs going into Mania season.

2017 Royal Rumble Match
Winner: Undertaker
Final Two: Undertaker, Braun Strowman
Final Four: Undertaker, Braun Strowman, Chris Jericho, Sami Zayn
Iron Man: Sami Zayn
Most Eliminations: Braun Strowman
Comments: I feel like Undertaker is winning this and facing either Roman or Cena for the title. I think Goldberg and Lesnar somehow eliminate each other or are fighting and someone else dumps them both. Jericho I have in the final four in case Owens retains somehow and Sami they've built up a bit lately and I could see him getting the underdog run to the final four.

Bonus Questions:
How many people will Brock, Taker, and Goldberg eliminate between the 3 of them? 10
Name one surprise entrant in the Rumble? Samoa Joe
Will someone from NXT debut in the Rumble? Yes
Will Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens finally split up for good? No

Re: Roundtable - Royal Rumble 2017

Postby Kreashko » Jan 26, '17, 6:35 pm

KICKOFF SHOW:

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax

RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match

Re: Roundtable - Royal Rumble 2017

Postby ShaneOfan » Jan 29, '17, 9:19 am

KICKOFF SHOW:

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia
Comments: I feel Sasha gains nothing with a win here. This isn't a title match or a #1contenders even. But Nia has everything to lose by losing. Plus she is hot. Fuck off I like big girls.

RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Gallows & Anderson
Winners: Cesaro and Sheamus
Comments: I don't know that they will be split up anytime soon. Especially not holding the belts. I think they will keep teasing the tension and eventually allow them to flow. At this point, I don't see Cesaro as anything other then a tag team wrestler. The only reason to have them drop tonight is to break them up for Mania.

ROYAL RUMBLE 2017

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya
Winners: Team Heel
Comments: Team Heel wins, because of reasons.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rich Swann (c) vs Neville
Winner: Swann
Comments: I think Swann retains. Mostly because I think their program will last a little bit longer.

RAW Womens Championship
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Bayley
Winner: Charlotte
Comments: Bayley is D-Bry with a vagina. She will get her Wrestlemania moment by winning there.

WWE Universal Championship (Chris Jericho above ring in shark cage)
No Disqualification
Kevin Owens (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Owens
Comments: I DO think Owens and Jericho will split up before Mania and fight at Mania, but it will be because of actions down the road (is Elimination Chamber a Raw and Smackdown show?) But it may not be for the title. Either way I think Owens retains here. My only swerve is since it is no DQ Roman turns heel and the Usos rush down and help him take out KO. But that won't happen.

WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena
Winner: LOL Cenawinz
Comments: But no seriously I think Cena wins. Mostly because I have a heel winning the Rumble and don't think they will do heel v heel at the grandest stage of them all.

2017 Royal Rumble Match
Winner: THE MIZ!
Final Two: Miz and Joe
Final Four: Miz, Balor, Samoa Joe, Orton
Iron Man: Sami Zayn
Most Eliminations: Joe
Comments: Okay so here's how I'd do it at least. And since I am so great it is my official prediction. Goldberg and Lesnar are in at 1 and 2. They pummel each other. And eliminate each other BEFORE #3 hits the ring. (The stroyline being they are more worried about each other and their rivalry then anything else right now. 3-2-1 "Break The Walls DOWN!!" out strolls Jericho, mic in one hand list in the other. He just starts reading of his list of who he hates. Now this is where his awareness of the clock comes into play... as he says "and Sami Zayn and" OHOHOHOH OHOHOHOH Sami storms the ring and they brawl. Sami is on fire. In comes numbers 5,6,7,8,9...fans chant "TEN TEN TEN TEN TEN" the crowd is pumped "AWESOME!!!" boos around the arena(people said something about him coming out to D-Bry's music and this replaces that) by now there have been a few eliminations but the main focus is we still have Miz, Corbin, Zayn and Jericho. Over the next6-7 guys we get the people like Show, Kane, all of New Day, Kofi does his spot yadda yadda yadda out at number 24 Samoa Joe! He clears the ring eliminating people left and right. Hitting finishers on guys. Everyone is down when 3-2-1 out comes Nakamura. He limps to the ring and he and Joe face off. They brawl as the other wrestlers get to their feet. The guys that are left now are Miz, Zayn Nakamura, Joe, Kane and Orton. BONG BONG Taker is out and he goes after KANE eliminating him. I think that is his Mania opponent and it may finally be his last. Who better then his friend, his "brother" and his former partner to be the end? 27 is Bray Wyatt he and Orton team up and take out Taker, Zayn, and Nakamura. The others are down and Bray orders Orton to sacrifice himself. Orton hesitates and then smiles nodding his head. Bray smiles, and turns around to see Luke Harper standing outside. Orton eliminates Bray from behind. Still in the ring are Miz, Joe, and Orton. 28 hits and the crowd goes wild as out comes Finn Balor. 29 is Mojo Rawley or someone. Followed by a HUGE surprise.Angle doesn't enter, this isn't his spot. No this is a guy you would never have thought you would see again. I'm kidding. It's fucking HHH. He throws out Rawley and levels the Miz who rolls out of the ring hurt. Like emts are checking him hurt. Rollins makes a run in and eliminates HHH. The brawl like two highschool chicks fighting over a man. It's ugly. Orton, Joe, and Balor go back and forth but eventually out goes Orton. It's Balor and Joe! Back and forth they go until Joe and Balor both go over the ropes. With BALOR hitting first. But before Joe can celebrate the Miz pushes away the medical staff and with a smug look walks up the ring steps and into the ring. WINNING the Rumble. He had only rolled under the ropes. The Injury was fake. The heat is nuclear. It is AWESOME!

Bonus Questions:
How many people will Brock, Taker, and Goldberg eliminate between the 3 of them? One and it's by Taker
Name one surprise entrant in the Rumble? Samosa Josa

Re: Roundtable - Royal Rumble 2017

Postby Hanley! » Jan 29, '17, 3:54 pm

KICKOFF SHOW:

Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax
Winner: Nia Jax
Comments: This one seems like a no brainer. They're still building Jax as a monster, and you don't end a streak like that on the pre-show. Banks is injured so that gives them an out for letting her lose. Plus, I feel like she might be turning heel soon anyway.

RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Gallows & Anderson
Winners: Gallows & Anderson
Comments: This one is a coin toss. I know the tag titles already changed hands recently, but I feel like it could happen again here. The Club need a win soon, or they're done. Plus is Cesaro and Sheamus lose, it'll make their interactions in the Rumble more entertaining.

ROYAL RUMBLE 2017

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya
Winners: Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Natalya
Comments: There's no way Mickie should be losing her first match back, and Naomi sticks out like a sore thumb here when it comes to which wrestlers need to be protected. I see Mickie pinning her for the win.

WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Rich Swann (c) vs Neville
Winner: Neville
Comments: Swann is good and they seem to like him, so part of me thinks they might drag out the title shot until a later show. But at the same time, Neville is way hotter than any of the other cruiserweights right now, so I think they kinda just have to go with it. Could be a great match.

RAW Womens Championship
Charlotte Flair (c) vs Bayley
Winner: Charlotte Flair
Comments: Bayley shouldn't win here, it's too early for her character. She hasn't built up enough sympathy yet to make it come off like a really major moment. That could happen at Wrestlemania, but here I think she takes the clean pinfall loss.

WWE Universal Championship (Chris Jericho above ring in shark cage)
No Disqualification
Kevin Owens (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Roman Reigns
Comments: I'm torn on this one too. All the rumours are suggesting Roman, but there's part of me that thinks they could still go Owens and Jericho for the main belt. That being said, with the company getting the US belt off Roman at the last minute, logic still dictates that he's probably winning here so I'll go with that.

WWE Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs John Cena
Winner: John Cena
Comments: I would have held off on this match until Wrestlemania and had Cena get his win back there. But given they're doing the match now I still think he'll probably win now. I don't want him to win, because I'm worried that Styles won't get a decent enough spot on Wrestlemania without the title. But it still feels like the time for Cena to win. I think Styles going 4-0 against him doesn't add much else to the story, unless they want to do something wild and different with the story, that they'd probably never do.

2017 Royal Rumble Match
Winner: Randy Orton
Final Two: Undertaker & Braun Strowman
Final Four: Bray Wyatt & Brock Lesnar & Goldberg & Chris Jericho
Iron Man: Sami Zayn
Most Eliminations: Goldberg
Comments: No idea what's going on with this match, so I'm hedging my bets by naming 7 different people in my Final Four. :P I'm excited by the possibilities.

Bonus Questions:
How many people will Brock, Taker, and Goldberg eliminate between the 3 of them? 11
Name one surprise entrant in the Rumble? Samoa Joe
Will someone from NXT debut in the Rumble? Yes
Will Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens finally split up for good? No
Does Seth Rollins get back into the Rumble match? No
Will Triple H appear? Yes

Orton had been the betting favourite for at least a week before the Rumble. The Observer leaked him winning and everyone else picked up on it afterwards. I was a little skeptical that he'd do it, but given it was a toss up between several people in my head, I figured I'd go with the Observer. Though I wasn't so confident that I included him in my Final Two or Final Four sadly. I could have picked up a solo win.

Generally I do leave it late to make my picks though, just in case there are changes to the card or somebody gets injured or whatever. Plus I'm a natural procrastinator. :P
