Going to be Bray versus Orton at Wrestlemania. Bray is going to win the title at Elimination Chamber. Orton on betting sites early this morning had the best odds of winning the Royal Rumble. It was obviously leaked out when he went ahead of Goldberg, Lesnar, Reigns, Undertaker.

No Samoa Joe was a disappointment. I hope he gets a WM match

Rumors floating that Goldberg botched his elimination. He was supposed to hang on after Taker got him over the top rope, and then Brock was supposed to interfere and get Goldberg eliminated, as Brock was still just lingering on the outside.

That was a great show from start to finish. It's a bummer there were no real surprises so I wouldn't grade it an A+ but its still like an A-

you are talking about goldberg and lesnar, probably two of the top 3 paid right now that have had problems with the WWE management. They are probably laughing their asses off as they split a case of beer after the match.

Questions I have following Rumble:
1. Who now starts challenging Owens?
2. Who does Orton battle at Mania?
3. When does Joe show up?
4. Where does Taker show up?
5. When do we see Balor?

1) I'd imagine we are going to see a #1 contender tournament soon.
2) Wyatt
3) Before the PPV in 2 weeks.
4) It's rumored that Taker needs hip surgery.
5) I think he will be in the #1 contender tournament.

1. I hate those tournaments. Just make someone the contender.
2. I assume you think he wins the EC?
3. Joe gonna be in EC to?
4. I heard that, but I can't imagine he would have came back if he wasn't going to wrestle at mania. He had to know about this beforehand.
5. I wouldn't imagine he would have to be in a tourney. Should just be given number 1 contender status.

Yes, I think Wyatt wins EC. It makes the most sense with Orton winning RR and they already having trouble among the Wyatt Family for the past few weeks.

Idk if Joe will be in EC, but I think he interferes with Cena in some way.

I think the original plan for Taker was to win RR. When it was discovered that he needed hip surgery sooner rather than later, that changed things up a bit.

Taking a stab:



1. Who now starts challenging Owens?
Jericho-Owens has to come to an end soon, so it seems likely one will turn on the other and they'll have a match, my guess at WM.

2. Who does Orton battle at Mania?
Rumors are saying Wyatt will win the title and face Orton at WM.

3. When does Joe show up?
Good question....I could see Cena doing an open challenge, similar to what he did with the U.S. title and after beating a few guys, Joe shows up and wants a WM match.


4. Where does Taker show up?
Don't know


5. When do we see Balor?
I wouldn't be surprised if they hold him off until the night after Mania (when they have a few surprises)

Looks like Goldberg is expected to win the Universal Title and go into Mania against Brock as the champ, where one has to imagine he will drop the title to Lesnar. I'm so sick of Lesnar being the champ still.

I doubt they would've set up Taker vs Reigns for WM last night if Taker was gonna miss the show.

Like I said before, I stopped following a while ago and its pretty bad with Goldberg back and not bringing me back with him.

Are you guys considering that universal BS title the world title now? Isnt the one Cena took the real world belt or are they both fake world titles now?

Why would Reigns losing to Owens change him still getting matches? Hasnt he lost a bunch now?

They should have had a smackdown champ and a raw champ and have a tournament for a real world champ. There is a long history of TV titles, I really do not see them as anything different.

That would explain why the cameras almost missed it. There would have been more set-up if that were the intended exit.

Watching it back, you can tell by both Taker's and Goldberg's immediate reactions that something went wrong.

I think bill missed the Apron. The plan was probably to have him fight taker from there and lesnar sweep his feet
