Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 Intriguing concept, but as already said by King of Old School, this is surely just a vehicle to get to Reigns Vs. HHH at Mania, and I can't see that match happening without the title given how pivotal they are making the belt to the story. Â I think it only works now if Trips wins the Rumble and Reigns has to fight the odds to get another title shot. Steph said he wouldn't get another shot so they could have him going on the rampage setting up a match at Fast Lane with a shot at HHH on the line.

Callum1993 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Reigns goes from Number 1 all the way to win it. Then Triple H enters as a surprise number 31 to screw over Reigns and win the title. If Lesnar is in the match I see him being eliminated by the Wyatts to set up a feud for him there. Can't really see anyone else on the main roster for him to have a Mania match with. Unless they go with Kevin Owens. I hope they throw a few returning former WWE champions in the Rumble looking for one more shot at winning the title.

They definitely need as many credible ex champions in there as possible, if you've got Zack Ryder, Stardust etc. In there it's just a waste of an entrant  I know it won't be '92 levels of stardom but more people like Jericho in there helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 Who's a credible ex-Champ who isn't on the roster, retired, dead, injured, doing bigger things in Hollywood or hates them? Â Kevin Nash? Kurt Angle? Rey Mysterio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DraxSpago Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Basically I just mean either have everyone like Orton/Cena/Lesnar whoever either not wrestling on the undercard or pulling double duty, they need EVERY star they have access to in that match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Basically I just mean either have everyone like Orton/Cena/Lesnar whoever either not wrestling on the undercard or pulling double duty, they need EVERY star they have access to in that match Unfortunately that's still not many. I'd use Taker which will give it a lift but they're going to regret the fact that the mid-card is seriously lukewarm right now. Â Well, they just ruined the Rumble, my favourite WWE night of the year. Thanks Vince I think this year's was shaping up to be pretty shite any way if I'm honest. It cannot be any worse than the last two though. That's a guarantee. Edited January 5, 2016 by tiger_rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum1993 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 They need to keep Daniel Bryan far away from it as well even if he is healthy enough to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I wonder what role Ambrose and the Usos will play in the Rumble now, they could make that quite intriguing. Could.Also, anyone else begging to see a Wyatt Family v New Day show-down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 They need to keep Daniel Bryan far away from it as well even if he is healthy enough to go. Was just discussing the same thing with a friend. If they even hint to him being there, people will jump to the same conclusion that's happened for two years previous and then throw a wobbly when he doesn't win. Keep him off until after Wrestlemania, if he is ever coming back that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think the only two things guaranteed almost from this match is the rumoured Goldberg not coming back & any small hope Austin might lace the boots for one last time, imagine if the glass shatters & Austin came out in the rumble at number 30, but only if he knew he had a chance of one last shot at Mania. Won't work now the title is on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members unfitfinlay Posted January 5, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think they should just keep Bryan away full stop. He's too fragile for them to do anything important with him but his fanbase won't accept anything less than the megapush that he "deserves". He should be more than set financially, assuming he didn't let them fuck him on his Wrestlemania pay, like they tried to do to Jericho years ago. Â Anyway, I think the Rumble sounds terrible, and it's pretty brave considering the reaction Reigns got last year. A new Champion gains nothing winning the title that way but Roman retaining kind of shits over the rest of the roster. Even if they do the above scenario where Reigns eliminates everybody and then HHH comes out as number 31 and screws him, it still makes the other blokes look like the glorified background extras that they are. Plus it'd basically be a repeat of the Survivor Series with Roman overcoming the odds and then getting fucked over. Â It says something about how bad Creative has been at creating stars when they need to go to these lengths to try and create some drama. With the talent available to them, there really should be a ton of credible opponents to Reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_3165 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I am hoping they will bring out some genius idea at the rumble but probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I can see the Rumble entrants being fixed for this, as in Reigns will be number 1. Then Big Show is the first opponent, then Sheamus, Del Rio etc.  Big Show 100% will be one of the first two in this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
