I like all suggested ideas but I also like Joe going over Roman. Joe coming in and being like "**** your family, I'm the best Samoan" would be pretty sick.

Err I thought he would obviously be challenging AJ, why would it be assumed he would go after Roman?

I like this, unfortunately I think Joe would eventually be lost on RAW. I want him on Smackdown right away

I'm really hoping Undertaker wins. I'm not a true smark and I'm in it a lot for the wrestlers I'm a fan of. Anyone going to the rumble? I just got tickets.

Hope for a Undertaker win as well as long as it leads to a retirement at Wrestlemania.

Maybe like a Taker win then career match for the strap at Mania. He loses.

What to think about the Kurt Angle rumors?

I'm excited for the RR. I think Taker is probably the favorite, but there's a lot of different ways they could go. The Rumble being unpredictable is a good thing, and should make for a fun watch.

Your new Raw GM? Remember, Angle and Stephanie have a history.

Intresting

Think hes got 1 more Mania match in him? Be cool to see him in Rumble. Hes HOF bound so that would be a nice sendoff.

I think the chance of seeing Angle in the Rumble is about 1%. This year anyway. It makes no sense to have him in there. I think Mania or Summer Slam is more likely, but not this year.

RR going to deliver more than the NFL playoffs .... NFL playoffs 2017 = Royal Rumble 2014/2015

Honestly this feels like a ridiculous %. If you really think this are you willing to take odds at hey even 80-1? Cause you could get a lot of action at that rate I think.

Keep in mind Skybet has Kurt Angle currently at 20 to WIN the royal rumble (Reigns is at 28)

Btw betting odds have a new favourite...

These are also the same odds makers that had Orton as a favorite to win the Andre Battle Royal and MiTB when he was injured and clearly not going to be at either show.

The reason why I say there is almost zero chance is because it makes no sense to have be in it. There is literally no upside. The surprise factor of him being a nostalgia entrant is gone. He also won't add anything as a more serious entrant because there is literally 0% they would have him win because I don't think they will have him wrestle at Mania the same year he is being inducted into the HoF. Flair is the only wrestler who did this and I don't think they will have Angle do it as well.

The reason I set it at 1% is that I think there is a sliver of a chance if he is in the building and they need a last minute replacement for someone who either no shows or gets injured the night of the show.

Orton was also on the board for last year's RR but wasn't one of the favorites. Those odds really don't mean much until right before showtime, and even then they are occasionally wrong

I'm going and excited. I do like that the brand split makes it much more unpredictable. The last few years, there have been 1-3 people who can win. This year, there might be as many as 8-10 people who could legitimately win.

Making a weekend of it, going to NXT Saturday night (I also have an extra pair of good NXT tickets if you're interested in going to that). Going to the Jim Ross show Sunday too. Should be an awesome weekend.

In addition, Foley is injured (going to have hip replacement surgery).

As a Cowboy fan, I'm trying to think of it as a WWE fan, where wins and losses don't matter. So technically, the Cowboys are still the best because all the other games were blowouts and they really entertained the fans the most.

The Cowboys are going to somehow make the Super Bowl into a Triple Threat.

So unpopular take, but what is the likelihood Joe doesn't get over on the main roster?

• Roll your eyes now, but he doesn't really have a/the look.

• He's arguably seen as a better wrestler than he actually is, just based on how poorly you'd expect him to move.

• I'll def agree that he's a solid promo.

I don't know. I just feel like there's nothing about him that jumps off the page, other than his super indy feel.

I think he has a really good 2-3 year run in him which would include main even matches and probably even a title run. I don't think he will ever be the biggest draw on the card though.

I mean I didn't think for a second AJ Styles would get as over as he is and Joe is at lest comparable

I'm not going to be looking at the betting lines going into this, but I'm pretty pumped that I don't really know who's going to win it this year and there are a number of candidates, as opposed to the **** shows of the last three years. Only thing that can really ruin this Rumble for me are both Cena AND Reigns coming away with belts. I can stomach one.

I just hope that this is one of those years where the Rumble match does not go last on the card, because so much of the uncertainty over who wins the Rumble has to do with the uncertainty of who the champions will be.

If Reigns and AJ are champs, Brown Snowman wins.
If Owens and Cena are champs, Undertaker wins.
If AJ and Owens are champs, Jericho probably wins. Although this scenario also allows for a surprise winner like Samoa Joe or Balor or Omega or HBK.
If Reigns and Cena have both won the titles, the Rumble match won't happen because the smarks will have rioted and torn down the Alamodome, killing everyone except Undertaker, Lesnar and Dadberg who will then have to have a four hour long triple threat match at Wrestlemania.
