KICKOFF SHOW:Sasha Banks vs Nia JaxWinner: Sasha Banks
Comments: Yes
RAW Tag Team Championships 2 Referees in match
Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs Gallows & AndersonWinners: 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 2017Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, Naomi vs Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, NatalyaWinners: 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 ChampionshipRich Swann (c) vs NevilleWinner: 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 ChampionshipCharlotte Flair (c) vs BayleyWinner: 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 DisqualificationKevin Owens (c) vs Roman ReignsWinner: 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 ChampionshipAJ Styles (c) vs John CenaWinner: 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 MatchWinner: 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.
