Ok, figured I'd start this since the pre-show kicks off in literally a few hours already. We can expect some surprises for both Rumbles, hopefully some Mania builds, hopefully zero McMahon's enter the Rumble matches. Here's the final card...
30 Man Male Royal Rumble (18 names have been announced as of now) Elias, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, John Cena, Finn Balor, Baron Corbin, Matt Hardy, Bray Wyatt, Rusev, Aiden English, Apollo Crews, Titus O'Neil, The Miz, Tye Dillinger, Big E, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Roman Reigns
30 Woman Royal Rumble (18 names have been announced as of now) Naomi, Asuka, Ruby Riott, Natalya, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Carmella, Tamina, Lana, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan, Mickie James, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke
Universal Title Brock Lesnar vs Kane vs Braun Strowman
Handicap Match for the WWE Title AJ Styles vs Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens
2 out of 3 Falls Match for the SD Live Tag Team Titles The Usos vs Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable
RAW Tag Team Titles Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan vs Sheamus & Cesaro
Pre-Show United States Title Open Challenge Bobby Roode vs ?
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs The Revival
Kalisto, Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik vs TJP, Jack Gallagher & Drew Gulak
I'm always super excited for this show, but have been seriously let down by the Rumble match every year since arguably 2008 when Cena came back 5 months early? Let's see if they can break their streak, though I'm not holding my breath.
I'm guessing Tits & Hippie Bella, Peyton Royce & Billie Kay, Beth Phoenix, Lita, Molly Holly, Michelle McCool, Trish Stratus, Nikki Cross, Ronda Rousey &......ugh......Stephanie, will be the female surprises
I'm going Kassius Ohno, Pete Dunne, Cedric Alexander, Mojo Rawley, Jinder Mahal, Bobby Roode, Seth Rollins, Jason Jordan, Sheamus, Cesaro, Big Show, I literally have no idea who else, maybe Taker? Don't expect a major male superstar. Just don't see Daniel Bryan being in it, though I'd like to.
My picks
Nakamura Rousey Brock AJ Gable/Benjamin Jordan/Rollins Roode Revival Lucha Dudes |

Meltzer said Lashley has no obligations anywhere & isn't in negotiation with New Japan, so he could show up tonight.

Please don't let the authorities track you. We don't need them doing background checks on our group.

Wish there was more fans in the crowd for the six man CW opener, which was really solid. Lucha Dudes won when Kalisto hit his finish on TJP.
Funny spot came when Gallagher was going to jump off the second rope, but Gulak told him no flying, Gallagher said relax he's got this, jumped & missed, then looked up at Gulak saying "yeah, you were right!"
Renee has Rosenberg, Otunga & King. Wow, hard pass. I'll watch again when the next match starts

Well shit there goes my favorite (said no one). Also Kurt said Goldust will have to pick a replacement for the Mixed Match Challenge, as she was his partner for that.

I’m going against the grain...
Rousey eliminates Stephanie...Stephanie pulls her out. Set up Mania match with. No title on the line continuing a story from a couple years back.
Nia Jax wins women’s rumble setting up Alexa vs Nia at Mania.
Vince is in a mood these days. I’ll take Kane going over in a controversial finish. He will drop the title at some point before Mania, maybe even on RAW.
Shinsuke Nakamura wins the Royal Rumble.

Please tell me Linda is backstage to cover Foxy’s spot. |

Haha definitely, Linda will come out wearing a XFL jersey.
Madusa is on the pre-show. She looks like Renee's mother. She said she wants to beat Asuka's ass (then apologized & said butt).
JBL is cutting her off constantly, annoying as fuck as usual. I'd take a table full of Rosenberg & Sam's over one JBL. He fucking sucks.

Also Revival beat Good Brothers after a chop block by Dash on Anderson, that's it.
At least it was better than the RAW match.

Too bad they didn’t bring Schiavonne out to call the women’s rumble match. |

He would've fainted just seeing Madusa tonight.
Mojo just answered Roode's open challenge & the fans are immediately let down. Should've just said it was Mojo from the start & not do the Open Challenge.
Fans immediately booing right as the bell sounds.
Tonight should be fun!

Roode tried for a Tornado DDT into the Glorious DDT, but looked sloppy as shit. Until then it was a Smackdown TV match, nothing special.

Good to see Naitch, even if he's sounding rough.
JBL interrupted him literally 7 seconds after he started talking.
Just go away asshole.

According to Meltzer, Mojo wasn't the original choice to face Roode. Original choice was moved to the Rumble match.

Glad AJ retained but it makes Owens and Zayn look weak.

Looks like they're setting up controversy.
Not as against it if that's the case.

AJ pinned KO, despite him not being the legal man. It keeps the story going, so I don't have a problem with it.
KO had a back injury coming into this, which is why we saw more Sami in the match.

Crowd very quiet for the tag match thus far. Been a slow start but picking up.
Really happy they didn't burn a fall early like usual in 2/3 falls matches.

Wow Usos won two straight. Crowd got into it after the first fall but the second fall was flat.
Benjamin & Gable are dead now. I didn't like that finish at all.
Who is next for the Usos then? Rusev Day?

Holy shit the male Rumble is next.
Female Rumble closes the show. Ronda better fucking be here. If anyone other than her wins, it's not going to be a good reaction.
Also if Roman wins this, the entire rest of the show is fucked.
