Oh by the way this event is FREE for new subscribers on the WWE Network! (though the event may still be going on when your month runs out)

Looking forward to seeing the stage and presentation.

Joe/Miz/Seth/Finn should steal the show.

The name of the event and the fact that no women are allowed in the arena leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Card seems kind of ridiculous, I'm not expecting matches outside of the rumble to go for very long.

Who's gonna host the pre-show? Rooting for Booker T.

Network has this listed as going from noon-5.

I don't expect 2 minutes per entrant in this Rumble. They never said how long in between participants.

They should have Steph come out and verbally castrate people like she usually does.

The rumble has already felt less special in recent years but having this one, and calling it the greatest just adds to that. Does this mean that in kayfabe the rumble trophy is bigger than the title or headlining mania?

Have they ever gone all in on something like this before other than mania? They must be getting a huge payday!

How much of my day is this thing expected to take up? Bout 7 hours like Mania? Ironic that they have the longest Mania match facing the shortest one. Wonder what the compromise is there.

Rumor is that WWE is receiving $100-$200 million+. Unsure I believe that but that's what's been reported.

Also, since this RR seemingly has no prize to it, I expect DB to win to satisfy the internet marks from hijacking the next Rumble and to give a babyface winner over there.

I highly recommend watching from 51:00-48:00 on the preshow clock for Booker T. Also recommending tuning in now for him. He has got to be high as **** right now.

I just put the preshow on and it just feels odd seeing only men on the screen. It’s a shame that they are being forces into doing this, but it’s on them for accepting the money.

Did Lawler just imply he was "lonesome" because he was the only white guy on the panel until JR showed up?

I get this this warm, heartfelt feeling anytime I see JR these days still kicking doing what he loves to do after all his health issues. People like JR make me want to be more motivated in life during times I get lazy doing everyday life stuff.

I thought we might see a match during this pre show like most events (cruiser weight title or one of the tag team belt matches) but that don't see to be the case.
