Watched some of this, prob first WWE PPV in about 3 years I think. Enjoyed the men's Rumble, thought it was booked pretty well from what I've read on what's been happening. Sheamus v Gunther to start which played ont hem having a great match last year, then both going long and Gunther going till the death. Dude looks like he could be a huge star so smart to make him the highlight of this match.
Built up several possibilities for Mania:
Gunther v Brock which was done well, limited interaction but tease that the crowd digged.
Obviously also have Lashley v Brock there as well or a monster triple threat match.
Rollins v Lashley too.
Edge v Balor/Judgement Day
Dominik v Rey (which seems to have been int he works for ages anyway.
Braun v Omos - though this sounds pretty shit tbh.
Haven't been watching so maybes some of these have already been done mind.
Sets up Cosy for his big win though I have a feeling he's not gonna last long before the crowd turn on him ala in AEW. His self righteous Cena-lite gimmick just isn't likeable in the long term but they can get a good feel good moment cashing in on it at the right time. What's the odds on them having Rollins take a title of Reigns at Elimination Chamber. Seems like if they want a. Swerve that's the kind of match they can get the belt of him withouthim eating a pin if they don't want him wretslinh both nights.
Bray v LA Knight was pretty shit as those kind of gimmick matches usually are. Suppose it can be forgiven as it's story heavy and Bray hasn't wrestled for years.
Bianca v Alexa was awful.
Fell asleep during the women's match so will go back and finish the show off tonight.

As a very casual fan, watching the men’s rumble made me think that entrance songs have gone downhill. Now most of these wrestlers i simply don’t know, so that’s no one’s fault. But the guys like Seth Rollins, Brock lesnar, Bobby Lashley that I do know, I feel their entrance songs are not as pop worthy as the old tunes like Austin, Vince, shane, rock, triple h, angle, cena, edge, etc. I like mcafee’s theme, and new day’s theme isn’t bad, but most of the new ones are forgettable.
