He already had a title match earlier. So nobody expected/wanted him to enter.

Ideally, the same thing happens with Strowman this year

Jerichoholic · 27-01-2018 1:45pm

Stroman winning won't happen, Roman is getting the belt at mania so it needs to be a Smackdown winner. Roman can just win the Elimination Chamber. Or maybe he'll get done for steroids before that. We can live in hope.

It’s almost too obvious at this stage.

Picture it though, week before Mania, he gets caught for steroids!

Good old Hunter would step in and beat Brock.

Great. Now we know he's gonna win.

He didn't say for which rumble though did he?;)

Exactly. Which means they started the show with only 29 entrants or he arranged with someone backstage to take their spot. Or maybe the 30th spot was intended for the loser of the title match.

Pretty sure way less than 29 spots have been pre announced for this years mens (and womens) rumble. It's not unusual for people who have matches on the Rumble card to appear again but Reigns arriving when he did and winning the thing that's what stood out.

I want Rusev to win. I'll go with Nakamura winning, ill be bored if Cena/Orton win, annoyed if Reigns wins, shocked if Daniel Bryan wins, i'll be confused but delighted if Finn or Braun wins

Am I right in thinking there was one year when Mick Foley entered three times in different gimmicks? Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love?

That was great by foley. I do remember thinking it wasn't the best rumble because you knew it was all about Austin. Also 1999 was crap because outside of Austin and Vince the rest was pointless.

Roman probably should win this but I don't think he will. Smackdown winner of this then Roman will take some roundabout way to set up the Lesnar match.

PTH2009 · 27-01-2018 6:17pm

Offically gone silent from spoilers from now til the end of the PPV

The White Feather · 27-01-2018 6:18pm

Undertaker and Michelle Mccool

are both in Philadelphia as they flew into the city on Friday night

Could be surprise entrants!

Jerichoholic · 27-01-2018 7:41pm

I hope the fans burn the place to the ground if Roman wins.

Not a chance he will win. He will win at EC. They wouldn’t make the same mistake of letting Roman win the Rumble again.

Oh, don’t challenge Vince. If he read that Roman might enter number 1 eliminate everyone as they enter the ring.

The arena would explode. The internet would explode.

I'd love if they did that to turn Roman heel. Now that would be an epic heel turn! Imagine if him or John Cena did it! They could have a match then at Wrestlemania.

That would be a great story to follow but WWE never do this kind of thing anymore. They always miss opportunities like that like when people wanted Bryan to come out in the Rumble a few years ago but he was kept out.They could have used Bad news Barrett to announce he wasn't.

They could hit Bryans music and out comes the Miz (tho I don't think he is in it as he is a champion) or CM Punks music and have Curt Hawkins (or whoever) to come out. Loads of stuff like this that they never do

nobody should be surprised that Steph is commentating on the Rumble match.

the McMahons are the most insecure family in the history of sports or entertainment, and they are obsessed with taking ownership of the 'Women's Revolution'. I expect to hear that phrase at least half a dozen times on Sunday.

it's sad.
it's pathetic.
it's counter-productive.

in 2018, who the hell talks about a 'women's revolution'? Women in sports is not a new thing. Women being good at sport isn't fúcking revolutionary. It's the norm. People watch it and enjoy it. WWE aren't leading the way on this. They're actually patronising the women with how much they go on about it, and how they try and shove Steph to the forefront of it.

Such small-time insecurity from a bunch of people who head the biggest wrestling company in the world.

Another contender for Rant Of The Year, and we're only still in January.

One things for sure, they never learn a thing.

Bret Hart · 28-01-2018 2:30pm

Will there be a predictions thread up for tonight's RR ?

Agent Coulson · 28-01-2018 2:40pm

So will any of the ECW originals make a surprise Rumble appearances in the Philly Rumble.

I would have said RVD but since it's been said he isn't medically cleared I guessing it will just be Dudley to appear.

Agent Coulson · 28-01-2018 3:08pm

So I'm thinking the only thing left for Roman to do to get over is to enter the Rumble at number 1 and outlast every other Superstar before winning it.

Vince that will finally do it.

I think that'll do the opposite tbh! The horse has has bolted I think unfortunately and I do rate Reigns a lot as he's become a very good worker. To think back 4 years ago where he was so over and destined for greatness had they let things flow naturally.

montyrebel · 28-01-2018 3:34pm

So Rusev Day is finally here imo, I for one welcome our new overlord

brianblaze · 28-01-2018 6:29pm

Surprise appearances:

Dreamer
Lashley
Al Snow

Trish Stratus
Lita
The ghost of Moolah to horrendously abuse the women on the roster and ruin their lives
