Didn't last years women's rumble have several "legends"? This year has none so far.

---

I was pleasantly surprised not to see any legacy wrestlers. Or the Bellas.

I hope Rhea Ripley makes the move to the US. And I think Lacey Evans gets pushed soon.

Disgusting in this day in age that wwe would have a 'man' win the women's royal rumble.

/woketwitterexpert.

achtually the woke Twitter movement would be more upset that the wwe forced someone who views themselves as a man to compete with women. Secondly they would be upset at wwe for having a female call herself The Man thus furthering the misogynistic views of the typical wrestling fan/super nerd who always corrects everyone on every TV show or movie ever made

I just want this match to end so we can get to the men's Rumble. I like AJ, but the new DB is a horrible character and draws no interest for me.

Lynch is the most over wrestler right now. The entire crowd would have booed the hell outta Nia if she had eliminated Lynch.

---

Agreed.

Now, I can see creative having Charlotte say she's the Rumble winner since Becky wasn't an official entrant setting up that triple threat with Rousey.

Hard to believe the women's division might be the most entertaining part of WWE these days...

---

falling through the YouTube rabbit hole, I saw a guy that was of the opinion Vince still had lots of control over the men's division but let the others control the women's stuff. Like raw is constantly out classed by NXT and smack down shows, the women are starting to match the men in storytelling and have better story lines for the most part.

He gave the Bayley vs Sasha NXT match credit for changing the opinion of fans and executives that the women's division wasn't just for hot women that knew some moves, but for women that could actually carry a show.

I might be in the minority on this, but I hope it's a straight up Rousey v. Lynch main event and not a triple threat at Mania. Charlotte can fued with Aska for the belt and Lynch can go over Rousey as Ronda will most likely leave to start a family after Mania.

I'd like a 1v1 match too, but I can see creative mucking things up.

Meltzer has been hinting for a while that it'll be a triple threat

Bayley finally getting her push

Given its 9:15 and we still have the rumble + Brock
/Finn... That match will be a squash yes?

Lol unfortunately not. Ronda/Charlotte/Becky was the idea.

Or Braun interferes to cause a DQ.

I wonder if the NXT Takeover shows are so good because the competitors aren't putting on so many house shows and doing a TV show just days before the PPV and having to do another show the next night. Less over exposure and less physical fatigue.

Rowan joining a new DB faction?

oh great, now we have the same 3 people every ppv just like the men

Wyatt family reunion? Daniel joining?

That was one of the more random things I've ever seen in wrestling.

That could be good.

I always liked Rowan and Luke Harper, but they were terribly used.

Was anyone interested in the Bryan/Styles match?

A DB faction vs The Club?

Agreed. And it seems like Charlotte has to get all the big "firsts" for women. I get it, she is really talented and a Flair, but she's never been as over as Becky is and Becky deserves this much more than she does

Raise your hand if you thought Bray was coming back

Really hoping Wyatt is involved in that somewhere.

Nah not really. I like AJ but DB does nothing for me. Heel Bryan feels even worse.

That was dumb.

Bray is still a Raw brand member, unless they just decide to switch him over with no reason why

1. Cruiserweight Championship -- Buddy Murphy (c) def. Hideo Itami (via pinfall) vs. Akira Tozawa vs. Kalisto to retain the title (Kickoff Show)

2. Bobby Roode & Chad Gable def. Rezar & Scott Dawson via pinfall in a non-title match (Kickoff Show):

3. United States Championship -- Shinsuke Nakamura def. Rusev (c) via pinfall to win the title (Kickoff Show)

4. SmackDown Women's Championship -- Asuka (c) def. Becky Lynch via submission to retain the title

5. SmackDown Tag Team Championship -- The Miz & Shane McMahon def. The Bar (c) via pinfall to win the title.

6. Raw Women's Championship -- Ronda Rousey (c) def. Sasha Banks via pinfall to retain the title

7. 30-Woman Royal Rumble match - Beck Lynch def Charlotte Flair

8. WWE Championship -- Daniel Bryan (c) def.. AJ Styles via pinfall .. Rowan assist

9. Universal Championship -- Brock Lesnar (c) def. Finn Balor via .. oh who cares... seriously wish they stop wasting Finn. Also, Brock doesn't need the belt to be relevant. They should give the belt to someone who can promote the company and have Brock come in for special matches. I mean Andre the Giant rarely had the belt and he got over.

I was interested in what Rowan was doing out at the end

Another match no one gives a **** about. Although, having this befor the Rumble makes me almost think the Rock is a real possibility.
