***2022 Royal Rumble 8 p.m. ET 1/29/22*** - Page 6 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

If Brock is entering, doesn't he need to like attack someone else that is already in the Rumble and take their spot? I thought those were the rules of engagement at this point.

I'm pretty sure the entire rules of engagement are "whatever's convenient to the story we want to tell." If that means Mick Foley comes out three times in one match, they'll do it.

I think that 48-year-old Edge looks like what we would get if Niles Crane became a sovereign citizen.

Wait, Maryse knows how to do a hurracanrana off the top rope? She never did anything close to that when she was a full-time wrestler.

They're going to do this long Sasha package and then still make us sit through the pointless Rumble history montage, right?

Just a theory I'm throwing out (I've avoided any and all spoilers and odds).

Lesnar enters the rumble but doesn't win as he is screwed by Reigns again. Winner challenges Lashley and Lesnar/Reigns still happens at WM.

i don't think many/any here use 'illegals' since wwe switched to the network model.

It's so cheap to watch it, especially because you can share logins, and free trials.

yeah I never watch wrestling anymore, I just foundout it was on 10 mins ago but I do watch the RR almost every year (usually it is on the sunday where the pro bowl is on)

I figured that out re streaming since it is just on peacock now or w/e

all the sites I use for MMA don't have WWE

thx NJPW

why is this on saturday? because the NFL tomorrow? makes sense actually

never thought the ramifications of NFL going to 18 weeks on the RR

Wish I knew earlier, I would've watched Womens RR and Brock too

I liked it back when Booker T was on commentary, loosely had a "fave five," and then he would put like 10 wrestlers a week in it.

It makes sense to me. Lesnar does not need the rub of being the rumble winner. That match against Reigns is going to main event one night of WM anyway. Would do a lot more good to have Lashley's challenger have the "Royal Rumble Winner" tag.

But then again I'm prob giving Vince too much credit to even think about that.
