I guess that you and @Com Fox wont be buying that!


JD McDonagh says he will be out for a few months with broken ribs, he suffered the injury when he took a hard nasty landing during his tag match with Dom and the War Raiders last night, he hit a moon-sault from the ropes on to Ivar on the outside but landed badly when the back of his neck and head hit the announce table, both he and Dom were able to finish the match though with War Raiders retaining the tag titles.

Not unless there is a what if ending where you get to play as Drew McIntyre and attack every bloodline member ending with destroying the Ula Fala

First inductee into the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class appears to be Triple H (as a solo act, already in with DX)

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Yeah it does look like he is going to headline this years class.

I think its deserved.

 

[Com Fox]

All we need is some custom OC to protest the idea of a booker being put in the Hall of Fame and we'll have the Smackdown vs Raw 2008 storyline in real life

Happy for HHH. I first started watching wrestling with his brief stint of Smackdown in 2008.

As a WCW kid growing up (because that’s what we had on TV) my first proper experience of WWF was the 2000 Rumble. HHH vs Cactus Jack in a brutal street fight.

I’ve been a big fan of both (and Stephanie ) ever since, so happy Paul is getting his solo spot in the HoF - thought he was already in, to be honest.

So the Royal Rumble is tomorrow night, have you guys got any predictions for the winners or for surprise entrants?

 

[Darla Starch]

Men's Rumble:

• Punk or Cena
• Punk or Penta to get the ironman run
• Gangrel or Mr Kennedy (...Kennedy) cameo

Women's Rumble:

• Charlotte's been out of the title scene entirely too long due to injury. Would much rather have someone entirely else...I dunno...Iyo Sky
• Naomi to get the ironwoman run
• If WWE can somehow swing it under everyone's noses, then get Mayu Iwatani to show up for a one-off reunion with Iyo Sky. Jordynne Grace is apparently busy that day, but maybe a smokescreen.

Someone is definitely throwing/screwing Roman that’s what I hope for.

Predictions:

LOLCharlotteWins, honestly will laugh if it does happen

Don't really have any predictions for the Mens but I don't really think who is winning will be exciting given the options are Cody Rhodes (who is still struggling to find a good opponent after constantly being fed damaged Bloodline goods) or Gunther, even worse if Roman wins so haven't really thought about it that much. I mean they could use the Elimination Chamber to shake up Wrestlemania with some curveballs and new Champions but WWE hasn't done that since 2017 (and hasn't been done since 2010 after that) and will just be a curtosy worth skipping...

...should cut myself off before I rant again about how much current WWE has ruined my favourite match type and shouldnt be between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Here is the card for the Royal Rumble event in Indianapolis.

Women's Royal Rumble Match.
Confirmed Participants:
Nia Jax, Bayley, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Naomi, Liv Morgan, Lyra Valkryia, Ivy Nile, IYO Sky, Chelsea Green, Zelina Vega, Candice La Rae & Piper Niven.

WWE Tag Team Championship-Two Out Of Three Falls Match.
DIY (c) v Motor City Machine Guns

Undisputed WWE Championship-Ladder Match.
Cody Rhodes (c) v Kevin Owens

Men's Royal Rumble Match.
Confirmed Participants:
John Cena, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Jey Uso, Rey Mysterio, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, Logan Paul, Penta, Chad Gable, Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Damien Priest, Santos Escobar & Jacob Fatu.

The match order is only my prediction, I think they had the women's Rumble match as the main event last year so maybe its the men's turn this year.

As for my predictions, I think it will be Punk winning the men's Rumble and he will go on too face Gunther for the world title and beat him at Mania, Cena has been advertised for the Elimination Chamber so I think he will win the Chamber match and face Rhodes for the WWE title and win at Mania, Charlotte winning the women's Rumble seems so obvious but I can't look past her, I think she will challenge Tiffany and win at Mania, I think Rhea Ripley's Mania opponent will be Bianca Belair.

Smackdown was nothing to shout about last night, main event was Damien Priest and LA Knight beating Tonga and Fatu with Priest taking the win in the middle of the ring, he got attacked by Fatu after
