Should be a fun event. For the first time in forever, it seems like multiple people could win the Rumble itself. Some of the undercard matches should be good as well (Cena/AJ will most definitely steal the show). Only thing I'm certain of is Reigns will probably win the Universal title while Owens/Jericho finally splinter and feud of the US title, and even that I'm only like 70% certain will happen.

So who is everyone's picks? I'll say Undertaker wins (feuds with Reigns at Mania), Samoa Joe debuts in the Rumble, and everyone thinks Tye Dillenger will debut at 10 but The Miz comes out instead to really piss everyone off and heels it up.

I'm predicting final 4 of Jericho, Taker, Strowman, and Goldberg

And depending on who wins in their title matches my RR winner pick will change, if Owens retains Jericho is winning the Rumble and if Cena beats AJ then I'm going Taker.

There was a really strong odds change (yes there are overseas bets on pro wrestling) that suggest a surprising winner. There's always a chance the odds swing again before the show. I won't spoil it.

Also the Wendy's social media team has a smark on board and it's amazing

First off Charlie Cuarso is looking smokin.

2nd. Damn Shakeup to start Takeover. Graves out as NXT Commentator. McGunnis in

3rd. Judge's Verdict for Takeover San Antonio will be posted tomorrow morning. Either Early or 10-11ish. Got Royals/Giants till 10 tonight.

Considering Graves does the announcing for Raw as well it's about time they replaced him on NXT.

I assume the Rumble will go on last (it damn well better) so I figure one probably two of those slots will go to the loser(s) of the main title matches. So that leaves 7 slots. I figure Joe will debut for sure so that makes 6. I say toss 3 to some randos like Kane or other guys on the roster that won't actually win (think Mark Henry or R Truth) to just be filler and that leaves 3 slots for legit surprises. My guess they could be filled by Finn, an NXT call up or a one shot appearance who goes back to NXT till after Mania, and probably one of the guys from the UK show.

I don't remember if it was on here or on twitter that I saw it and take it for what you will, but they are advertising Owens and Universal Champ for house shows after Rumble.

I don't have an issue with the result but it makes the title seem less important having that happen on the preshow.

Speaking of tag teams the Revival seem ready for a callup.

Yeah I figure we will see them here soon. Along with Joe and maybe Dillinger. I would say Asuka and Nakamara too, but I don't think they have the star power there to replace them yet.

I just don't see it with Nia. She isn't good on the mic. She is big, slow and not very good in the ring.

Roman/Owens is going on before the Cruiser Weights. Swann/Neville are going to be a tough act to follow but I can't believe they'd have a world title match this early in the card

That is NXT at least. They are there to learn and get better. Nia is fighting one of the top women in WWE.

If Reigns wins it will be a downer on the rest of the night for me.
