This year’s Royal Rumble didn’t really have the greatest build up to it; rather than focusing on potential winners and weaving some storylines throughout the two Rumble matches, the WWE opted to hang their hat on the “unique” aspect of WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar competing in the match and just kind of let the … Continue reading Wrestling Recap: Royal Rumble Results

Wrestling Recap: Royal Rumble Predictions
And just like that, we’re in a new year and the Royal Rumble event is upon us! As you might expect, despite the amount of the time the WWE has had to build up to this event, Vince McMahon’s little party house has hedged most of the build around the ludicrous idea that nobody is … Continue reading Wrestling Recap: Royal Rumble Predictions
This Week In Wrestling
Winners: Chad Gable and Bobby Roode, Shinsuke Nakamura, Buddy Murphy, Asuka, The Miz and Shane McMahon, Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins. A non-title match kicked off the show, pitting Bobby Roode and Chad Gable against Scott Dawson and…Rezar…did I miss something? Are Dash Wilder and Akam injured? This is the … Continue reading This Week In Wrestling

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman started the show off this week, because Royal Rumble is on Sunday and the WWE needed to remind people that Lesnar is actually a thing. Heyman basically predicted that Finn Balor will be sacrificed to the alter of Lesnar, which is actually probably a scarily accurate prediction of the future, … Continue reading This Week In Wrestling
This Week In Wrestling
Winners: John Cena, Cedric Alexander, Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, Jeff Hardy, the Bludgeon Brothers, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, the Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Braun Strowman. John Cena and Triple H opened the show; I suppose it’s supposed to emphasise how big and important this event is by having a former WrestleMania main event … Continue reading This Week In Wrestling

It’s a bird, it’s a plane…no, it’s the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, out to hop about the place while Paul Heyman yells about how unbeatable, unstoppable, and unconquerable the champion is. Roman Reigns, however, shows up and fires back by saying he’ll be leaving with the belt after the Greatest Royal Rumble. I mean, sure, … Continue reading This Week In Wrestling

Winners: Lince Dorado, Kalisto, and Gran Metalik, The Revival, Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, The Usos, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sheamus and Cesaro, Brock Lesnar, and Asuka. The pre-show gets a whole bunch of matches for this one, taking the total event time up to four hours,,,which is just crazy, to be honest. Continuing to sell the … Continue reading This Week in Wrestling
This Week in Wrestling
In case you didn’t notice, this week marked twenty-five years of Raw so the WWE decided to largely forgo the build up to Royal Rumble in favour of a simultaneous broadcast from the Barclays Center and the Manhattan Center filled with nostalgia acts, video packages, and backstage segments. Apparently, the live crowds were less … Continue reading This Week in Wrestling

Braun Strowman is out to predict his Universal Championship win at Royal Rumble, only for Kurt Angle to come out and fire him for trying to murder Brock Lesnar and Kane last week. Funny because I remember Roman Reigns trying to kill Strowman not that long ago and being given a title shot. Although … Continue reading This Week in Wrestling

Why, if it isn’t DAH BIG DAWG! Roman Reigns opens Raw this week to run down Samoa Joe before Jason Jordan and, eventually, Seth Rollins pop out so we can bicker about how Jordan is no Dean Ambrose, is nowhere near Ambrose’s league, and how he was the worst replacement of a partner. The … Continue reading This Week in Wrestling
