    If last night's Smackdown brawl is an indication of how it's gonna go, it will be a shítshow.

    Two rumble matches in one night is a mistake, the women's match will kill the crowd stone dead.

    they should open the PPV with the womens rumble and end with the mens one

    Knowing wwe they could put the mens one first and then womens in the middle and main event with the universal title match or something similar

    hope Orton doesnt win it again

    Surely they'll have the cop on to let a Smackdown guy win, and let Reigns win his shot at the next PPV. Handing him another Rumble win will be **** on even more than the last one was....

    WWE having cop on? Roman Reigns is STILL being pushed as the no.1 babyface remember?

    The women's match will be funny, imagine the countdowns..."10...9...8"

    IT'S TAMINA SNUKA!

    I think to avoid this the match has to be quicker entrances and limit the time to. i think the two starting off will be key if they offf with tamina and lana the crowd could be gone.

    id start with the becky & sasha or bayley to get the crowd into the match.

    I have a feeling Sasha will end up being number 1.

    Yes shorter intervals is the key here for the ladies rumble, it should be a good affair if they keep it moving at a quick pace and keep it relatively short.

    Becky and Finn double to make it a historic night for the Irish.

    I’d settle for one of them though, and Becky if I had to choose. I’m a bit of a Becky mark.

    Becky hasn't a prayer. Hope Asuka wins by throwing literally every other woman out by herself.

    Finn, maybe. Thinking of throwing €5 on him.

    Dunno they were teasing her and Charlotte feuding but you’re probably right, sadly.

    I could see Asuka playing the Big Show role. The monster who eliminates a few people, looks unstoppable, and then a few women team up and throw her over, as the commentators stress how much work it took to eliminate her.

    I'd have Becky as my favorite to win right now, tbh; a feud of Charlotte vs Becky practically writes itself, and is one they've not done yet really (at least on the main roster). Would be the best from a character and story PoV.

    Mind, this is all presuming that the whole thing isn't to push
    Rhonda if she's joined
    . Or, worse yet, Stephanie decides she fancies winning it...

    Finn Probably not. Roman won’t be denied a match with Lesnar at Mania.

    Only chance Finn has is winning and himself and the club jumping ship to Smackdown. Which would make be great for all 3.

    Finn is my second fav atm as he v AJ would be very easy to write.

    The girls rumble booking should be either....Asuka runs riot, and then out comes Ronda at 30 and eliminates her to win. Huge PR and money Mania match set up. Assuming they can't get Ronda , then Asuka win, beat Bliss for her title on Raw and Ronda comes out and attacks her to close the show.

    I have expected her to include herself in it and win, could still happen I suppose

    Hilarious that after people were worried she would win it they found a way to make Stephanie's involvement even worse. This is like vuvuzelas ruining the 2010 world cup

    Yea was thinking Nia will be the Big Show of the Rumble. Id be happy if the final two were Becky and Asuka , Even if they have Asuka win , Then you can have Becky say i was so close to winning the rumble etc , Charlotte comes out and starts her slow heel turn being patronizing to Becky over not being able to win the big one. As people said it would mean you are guaranteed a decent womens match at WM , Have Becky win but only for Carmella to cash in

    Wouldn't surprise me if she enters the match at number 30. If Rousey does come in for Wrestlemania then Steph will be the one she'll be working with.

    Good chance that either Rousey eliminates her in the match or Steph sneaks up and eliminates her,leading to either Steph v Ronda at Wrestlemania or Steph and HHH v Ronda and The Rock.
