Royal Rumble 2024 *Spoilers in Tags please*

JP Liz V1

It takes place on Saturday, January 27th, 2024, in Tampa, FL at Tropicana Field

Is Cody winning for a 2nd year to get to finish his story with Roman at WM or will the returning Punk finally win one?

Current Match Card:

Men's Royal Rumble Match

Women's Royal Rumble Match

Fatal 4 Way for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (C) VS Randy Orton VS LA Knight VS AJ Styles

United States Championship: Logan Paul (C) VS Kevin Owens

ShagNastii

That poster looks like something a ten year old would make.

Ridley

Have LA Knight win and send him to NXT. 😉

JP Liz V1

Who is finishing their story, winning the RR

Lord TSC

Feel Punk to win and challange Rollins. Let Cody win an EC match to earn his shot vs Roman.

JP Liz V1

Could there be joint RR winners, both over rope with feet hitting the ground at the same time, I think it happened with Batista and Cena before

Will happen again at some point down the line. The only question is when.

Bret and Luger first did it in WWF back in 1994. But that was planned while accordingly Cena and Batista was a botch haha.

CastorTroy

Didn't it happen in 2000 as well leading to the 4 McMahon challenge?

2000 was The Rock and Big Show final 2 wasn’t it? I think the Rock botched it by putting his 2 feet on the ground but wasn’t covered by the live footage

It was one of the most perfect botches ever and then leading to Vince pulling both his quads

JP Liz V1

Shinsuke and Becky declared for the rumbles

Ridley

Fatal four way is cool and all but seems like the Rumble match itself is going to struggle beyond fine like last year when relatively fresh #30 Rhodes is being hailed for eliminating #1 Gunther who did all the work.

Feels like we're just waiting for Punk or Rock.

Idea: Have Solo win it and Reigns brow beat him into giving it up thus Rock family intervention or something.

And since they didn't do it last year: Put. The. Bloodline. In. The. Rumble. As. Gatekeepers. Hell, put Roman in it.

JP Liz V1

Could we see NXT talent in the rumbles? If they won they could challenge for NXT title at WM, was it Charlotte who chose that title when she won

Now I think maybe Punk and Bayley as the rumble winners

I thought Logal Paul would wanna be in the rumble match itself for a "spectacular viral" spot

PTH2009

So Reigns won't have to be pinned to lose his title ?

Orton wins and they could do Orton vs Cody at Mania

Styles or Knight wins and they could do Vs Punk at Mania

As was mentioned here The Rock vs Reigns doesn't need the title

Would love a left field win for the Rumble

JP Liz V1

Reigns isn't losing, he is pinning them all 😁

Ridley

Rock/Reigns does need the title as it's about the who can topple the streak. Match can be done without it, sure, but meh.

El Gato De Negocios

A title match is irrelevant tbh, everyone knows Rock isn't going to feature regularly going forward so he won't be given the belt.

Is there live showing in bar like in years past of the rumble this year?

Don't think so unless it's like a local pub and not advertised anywhere. Can't see any events promoted online.

Agent Coulson

All set for the biggest ship jump and WWE return of 2024.

Has to finish his story...

His Mrs and her best friend to finish thier stories and sell a few more tickets for the Down Under show.

What's the rationale of Damien Priest been in the in rumble match even though he has the MITB ?

JP Liz V1

I hope Gunther makes it the correct day

JP Liz V1

I'm guessing to have some confrontation with fellow TJD members and maybe R Truth

As you said he has MITB, going for 2 title shots, one on Seth one on Roman 😄

They are starting early

B.A._Baracus

Anyone know what time this is likely to end?

Trying to remember last year's but can't. Probably 4:30am, right?

Agent Coulson

I think the post Rumble media scrum with HHH could be better than the Rumble.

The network schedule for Saturday night/sunday morning says 4:45am for the press conference to start.

JP Liz V1

Will Brock return or given the media attention postpone?

Itssoeasy

There’s rumours that slim Jim have pulled out of their sponsorship of the royal rumble tomorrow.

CastorTroy

Can I please make my usual request of spoiler tagging any rumoured/reported returns or backstage sightings and betting odds?

I was just thinking, who from previous surprise returns made the most of it in recent years. Like MVP is still there since his return.

Also another thought was since we sometimes get the likes of Hurricane in the match since he works backstage anyway, what would be the chances of getting Petey Williams, since I don't think he ever wrestled for WWE. But I think people would know him. Even if he just came out and hit a Canadian destroyer and got eliminated.

Maybe Nick Aldis gets a go?
