It's Sunday.
WWE Title Drew McIntyre vs Goldberg
Universal Title - Last Man Standing
Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens
Women's Tag Titles Charlotte & Asuka vs Nia & Shayna
**As of this moment, it's not officially announced, but I assume we're getting Carmella vs Sasha again**
Men's Royal Rumble (17 of 30 announced as of 1/28) Daniel Bryan, Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Otis, The Miz, Jey Uso, Cesaro, Jeff Hardy, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Shinsuke Nakamura, Big E, John Morrison, Sheamus, Mustafa Ali, Edge
Women's Royal Rumble (12 of 30 announced as of 1/28) Nia Jax, Charlotte, Bianca Belair, Bayley, Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, Peyton Royce, Alexa Bliss, Shayna Baszler, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, Tamina
Ok, so I assume we're getting Lana (to at the very least eliminate Nia), Rhea Ripley (who could win), Natalya, Beth Phoenix, Billie Kay, Naomi, Nikki Cross, Reckoning, Eva Marie (my surprise return), Candice, Kacy Catanzaro (for the Kofi spot), Raquel Gonzalez, Shotzi, some other NXT girls. There's so many girls they have to have randomly pop up to fill the 30.
As for the guys my guesses to fill the gaps are, Rollins, Cena, Corbin, Gable, Crews, Mysterio, Andrade, Riddle, Elias, MVP, Keith Lee, maybe a couple NXT dudes?
As of this very moment, I'm going Daniel Bryan & Rhea Ripley

I know it won't happen, but I'd love if Big E won it.

Yeah a part of me wants Big E or Keith Lee to win it and since they have a title shot of their choosing, have them pick the champ on the other show. Big E vs Drew or Keith Lee vs Roman would be fun Mania title programs.

Natalya vs Tamina on Backstage tomorrow to determine who is the 30th entrant in the womens Rumble
Had to do a double take when I saw that graphic.

No inauguration, no MNF, no NBA, no Gridiron Gang lead, but they could be up against a real estate investment infomercial. My prediction is 8k.

King Corbin, Dominik & Rey Mysterio and I assume Braun (who returned tonight) are in the Rumble. 9 spots remain.
Nattie was the only additional female to declare. 13 of 30 are in the womens Rumble.

Word is Drew & Bill opening the show. I fear for a Miz deal.
Also trying to figure out how they go about the Rumbles
Becky had a baby 7 weeks ago, no chance Ronda doesn't need to be in it to be in a major match I see some bullshit return of like Eva Marie Lana needs to dump out Nia I hope they go Bianca or Rhea final 2
Men's i think it's too early to do Brock vs Roman with Heyman in the middle. No fans = No Rock Cena doesn't need to win if in it, but wouldn't mind Cena/Roman We'll get bullshit spooky garbage with Orton/Fiend/Alexa Carlito is back (spoiler)
Bryan and Rhea are my main picks Big E and Bianca are my underdogs Edge & Alexa are my wild cards

Watching the 94 Rumble. It's criminal the Steiner Brothers didn't have a big WWE run.
Plus, we could have witnessed Bret & Owen v Rick & Scott.

Steiners felt like Vince lowballed them on what he promised up front. They made more money in Japan. Bret & Owen vs. Rick & Scott did happen, but it was a one-off dark match on a Coliseum Video (WrestleFest '94). I'm pretty sure randomone has seen it. I think the match is also on one of the Hart WWE DVDs.

Nia and Shayna won the titles back on the pre show.
And yes, the Steiners were insanely underused, even when the tag division in WWF was weak. Smokin Gunns, Men on a Mission, Heavenly Bodies, Quebecers, Headshrinkers, Well Dunn & the Bushwhackers.
They wrestled the Shrinkers and Bodies in 93 and feuded with thhim Quebecers a little bit. There was no one left really.

Naitch helped Lacey cost Charlotte the match
So it's only a matter of time before Flair & Charlotte put one over on Lacey and Charlotte turns on Asuka and we get a title match again right?
Fingers crossed it's not tonight with another Charlotte Rumble win or Mania, but I have a bad feeling.

Damn. I was watching Luger and Hart fall out of the ring together. Switched to see Goldberg and Drew already in the ring.

I got a D- in high school Spanish. Zero clue what this dude is singing about or why GI Bro is standing there.
The fuck do they need this without a crowd? Or with a crowd for that matter?

This was a Vince Russo fever dream. I took Honors Spanish and have zero clue what this guy is singing about or why GI Bro is standing there.
