Man, seeing shots of the arena and stage and sheer size of the place is getting me so excited. The audience was sorely missed last year.

My favourite PPV.

[Denver]

You talking about her Insta story on the stage?

Jillian's done the same, but as an Insta post. Bit *too* good to be true imo.

CZVCTdVJFZU

They need Steph to come out and announce its now a 40 woman RR as ill be disappointed half the names dont turn up

[LaLaLand]

That'll be the day.

It's on 1am UK time right? Starting in 90 mins time?

[Denver]

Yea I think preshow is 12

[LaLaLand]

Thanks. Officially excited!

Women's RR now

Oh ****

Yes Melina

Well that was disappointing

Are they serious?

All Kelly Kelly does is botch

Liv's old theme was better

[Denver]

Surprised Sasha went so early

[Jordan.]

I'm still mad we had a chance to see Sasha and Melina one on one and they ruined it.

[Jordan.]

This ain't it so far

This ain't it so far

Looks like the best are kept for the final half

[Denver]

Lita is coming to eliminate you Charlotte

[Denver]

Ivory is back

[Jordan.]

Right to censor Ivory :love:

[Denver]

These returnees are being paid dust

[Denver]

Them actually acknowledging Mickie and Impact is great

[Jordan.]

I know Ronda isn't returning for this lacklustre rumble

[Jordan.]

All these legend spots have been so ****

[Denver]

Ronda is here

[Jordan.]

Thank ****!!

[arista]

[Denver]

I hate Charlotte so much

[Black Dagger]

Not posted on this godforsaken cesspit for months but thought I'd chip in and say what a ****e women's rumble.

Ivory was the only good surprise spot bc the others were a waste and lasted about 4 seconds.

Ronda vs Becky was probably the expected Mania match on the RAW side. No idea who they'll have for Charlotte. Assumed it'd be Banks but she was such an after thought by entrant 5.

[Black Dagger]

Plus Brock will probably win the men's as well and I have no faith in their surprise spots.

[Denver]

Yes Ronda wins

Despite hinting at Lita fir Charlotte it is now Ronda vs Charlotte fir Mania

[LaLaLand]

Trash Rumble overall for the ladies sadly.

[Liam-]

Marked out for Hardcore Country

[Black Dagger]

Right. Bianca needs to get revenge on Becky then for the Summerslam incident.

[Denver]

I don't think they understand #30 is meant for the big pop? Lita or Ronda suited that role better then bloody Shayna

[LaLaLand]

Ivory was the highlight - shame it was for more of a comedy spot but at least she was there. Great to see her rocking her RTC gimmick again. Can’t believe she’s 60!! Looks almost exactly the same!

All of the returns/surprises just seemed to fall flat and “blink and you’ll miss them”.

[Black Dagger]

Is there anybody actually good rumoured for the men's rumble? Don't say who obviously but a hint towards yes or no will do.

[LaLaLand]

Yooooooo Paul!!!

[Denver]

So Brock has won the RR

[Black Dagger]

Great... I love Brock's current run but he doesn't even need this Rumble win. Its so obvious as well. Shock elimination for him please.

[Jordan.]

Maryse snapping

[Denver]

This match is so dead im struggling to stay awake

[Denver]

Worst final 4 ever

[Denver]

That match was the worst ever

[LaLaLand]

Both Rumbles just felt "flat" idk can't describe it.

I'll sleep on it :shrug:.

[Calderyon]

A very boring and predictable Royal Rumble.

Awful.

[Denver]

Some Rumble news

Melina was meant to last a lot longer in the match but lost her footing on the apron and she had a mn early exit which led to her and Sasha having a Split off to waste the time away

Kofi was meant to last longer and have a big moment with Big E but he mistimed his jump and was eliminated

Io Shirai, Jillian Hall, Aksana and Kaitlyn were amongst the women backstage who were being used as back up entrants

[LaLaLand]

When you’ve got the likes of Io Shirai backstage as a RESERVE, then we’ve got problems. She could have debuted and established herself on the main roster last night in the match.

Instead we get Alicia and Molly and Kelly AGAIN. Shocking.

I just feel like basically both matches were just going through the motions and essentially wasting time to get through it to the end and the quick, predictable endings. The amount of time in both where it felt like NOTHING was happening and it was just people struggling on the ropes. The crowd sitting down looking bored throughout. Meh.

[LaLaLand]

Highlights of the night: Rollins’ Shield gear/entrance, the Reings/Rollins match, Paul turning on Brock, Ivory (all 60 seconds of her) and Bad Bunny. Sarah Logan was a nice surprise too kinda.

Other than that… Nah.

[LaLaLand]

I’m howling at this! Didn’t hear it first time around, hilarious!! Iconic Summer Rae :joker: :joker: :joker:

Mania plans for both Women's titles as it stands are rumoured to be:

RAW Women's Championship - Becky Lynch (C) vs. Bianca Belair

SD! Women's Championship - Charlotte Flair (C) vs. Ronda Rousey

Can't say I'm neither surprised nor excited. Both are just rematches.

The Battle Royal's gonna be stacked. :eyeroll:

[LaLaLand]

Rumour has it that Brock winning the Rumble was, as always, “last minute”.

The original plan apparently was for Matt Riddle to win. :omgno:

The original plan for the Men's Rumble winner was Riddle, PWInsider.com has learned. Plans were changed over the course of the week a ton of times with the final decision to have Brock Lesnar enter and win as a surprise. At one point, there was a pitch for Randy Orton to win as well, but Riddle was the frontrunner until the switch to Brock was made.

[Alf]

So I'm guessing the Wrestlemania main event will be Reigns vs Lesnar?

[LaLaLand]

Yep, looks like it.

Unless they stick Rousey in the main event vs Flair again.

[Denver]

My guess is Randy wins the WWE title inside Elimination Chamber

[Denver]

Been a lot of speculation its Ali but it will probaly be a free agent recently released by WWE

[Liam-]

It’s obviously going to be Jeff right?

[Denver]

It’s obviously going to be Jeff right?

I thought that but the match they are debuting in didnt make sense when a Hardy Boys reunion is being teased

[LaLaLand]

“Forbidden door” as in WWE or Impact?..

Ali is still very much signed as far as I can tell whereas Hardy is a free agent, so “forbidden door” wouldn’t apply surely.

For some reason Shane McMahon instantly came to mind after everything going on with him this past week since the Rumble.

[Jordan.]

His follow up tweets imply it is a free agent as they are signing with the company.

[LaLaLand]

Ah, Jeff then probs.

As long as it gets Matt out of the ridiculous angle he’s in now and we have a somewhat Hardy reunion in AEW then I’m all for it.

[LaLaLand]

Or even SAMOA JOE? :omgno:

Or Kross!?

Or Ember Moon!?

OR KEITH LEE!

So many big names in that last batch of releases, could be anyone.

[Denver]

Never expected him to go and WWE seems like the obvious direction.

In other news Stone Cold is likely to come out of Retirement for Mania

[Jordan.]

I find it hard to believe he would go back to WWE that makes no sense to me. I think he'll either be back with AEW at some point or he could be involved with the relaunch of ROH.

[Denver]

Some sources say he is as good as agreed ro return to WWE so we will see

[Denver]

The Undertaker will headline HOF this year

[LaLaLand]

The Undertaker will headline HOF this year

Long overdue but so deserved. One of, if not “the”, best ever.

[LaLaLand]

Apparently Cody left AEW over disagreements with Tony Khan.

Cody wanted to be the top paid guy, do more booking/creative for the company and also refused to turn heel.

The booking bit is hilarious - he’s left his OWN COMPANY because he can’t have as much input as he’d like with feuds and storylines, to go back to WWE where his input will be ZERO, just for money basically.

Kinda funny seeing NXT put all their titles back on black and gold era talent, HHH really snuck back in whilst Vince was distracted with Mania.

Bianca's entrance :flutter: early night if she doesn't end bore time becks reign of terror.

5* match right there

[Swan]

Cody!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Denver]

Put the title on Stone Cold

[Liam-]

Even though it was obvious he was coming, still marked out hard for Cody, what a surreal moment, also, Owens headlining Mania with Austin was wild, so ****ing good

[Alf]

Women's wrestling is sh!t. Always has been sh!t always will be sh!t. Like women's football, Rugby and boxing. All sh!t.

Brock Lesnar is the one who sells tickets and puts bums on seats, not the women.

[LaLaLand]

Night 1 was 1000000000000 times better than I thought it’d be. Low expectations help!

Every match popped. Marked out for Cody and Austin.

Night 2 has MAJOR boots to fill because last night was just fantastic. The best all round night top to bottom of WWE programming in years imo.

(Also, feel so sorry for Rick Boogs. Can’t even imagine how gutting that must have been!)

Im not sure how true it is but I heard rumours that Boogs and Nakamura was scheduled to win the tag titles but the ending was changed after his injury which must suck even bad

[Jordan.]

Unpopular opinion but I don't care for Cody coming back at all, can't look past how much of a sellout move it seems.

[NICKP]

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kevin Owens that was a really good match

[LaLaLand]

Unpopular opinion but I don't care for Cody coming back at all, can't look past how much of a sellout move it seems.

I agree mostly.

As cool as it was, it sort of defeats everything he’s done for the past however many years. Cody was the main one who was emphasising this “war” between the companies (the hammer to the throne spot immediately comes to mind) and now is the one who ends up jumping ship?

It’s just a money move obviously and it sucks but hey. AEW is no worse without him honestly.

[Liam-]

I personally think he’s doing it because he thinks he has a lot to prove within the company, yes the money was probably a big factor as well because of his family and whatnot, but he pretty much did everything he possibly could have outside of the company and going back to prove that he is absolutely the star they didn’t believe him to be? That could have been a massive draw for him

Main event felt too short, kinda mid for the hype. Overall show up there with the best Wrestlemania's though.

[LaLaLand]

So as we saw at 'Mania, WWE are running with the heavily rumoured gothic faction lead by Edge going forward (Damien Priest celebrating with Edge after his match).

Rumoured to be joining Edge and Damien Priest in the group is:

Rhea Ripley. :love:

I hope it's true!

Nash Carter has been released after Kimber Lee has accused him of abusing her.

[LaLaLand]

Nash Carter has been released after Kimber Lee has accused him of abusing her.

Just saw on Twitter. Crazy.

Also didn’t realise everything that happened with new golden boy Gable Steveson. :omgno: He shouldn’t be employed.

[Denver]

Nash Carter has been released after Kimber Lee has accused him of abusing her.

Its crazy how they get rid of someone who has evidence that contradicts what was said but stood firmly behind those who had tons of evidence against them.

From what I gather is both Nash and Kimber were both as bad as each other in the relationship and im not 100% sure which side is the truth

[LaLaLand]

Imperium, LA Knight and Raquel Gonzalez have all been recently pitched as possible WWE main roster call-ups soon.

Fabian Aichner is NOT expected to join his teammates though - possibly splitting from the group as hinted on NXT yesterday.

Interestingly - LA Knight is reported to be being considered for a predominantly managerial role when called up. :skull:

[Jordan.]

Stupid splitting up Imperium but I'm used to them ruining good things by now.

Bringing up Raquel seems about right, Dakota should be too (I've just seen they already lost the tag titles again wtf was the point :skull:)

& I personally don't hate the thought of LA Knight in a speaking role, that's where he excels.

[Denver]

Nash Carter has been released after Kimber Lee has accused him of abusing her.

So he was released because of the photo if his Hitler salute and not the abuse allegations

They’ve changed Kay Lee Ray’s name to ALBA FYRE.

SERIOUSLY. :skull: These name changes are crazy.

Kacy Catanzaro is now KATANA CHANCE. :omgno:

The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) will be indefinitely stepping away from in-ring action.

On Wednesday, the team issued a joint statement, announcing their departure from IMPACT Wrestling. The pair thanked the company for the experience and teased a new chapter in their careers in the future.

The IInspiration issued a joint statement: “We first want to thank Scott D’Amore and the entire IMPACT family. “We have had such an amazing experience, working with the incredible IMPACT staff and roster.
