Batista deserves to win nothing after showing up on RAW with a face lift, nose ring and wearing skinny jeans. Maybe the Diva's title.

If not Batista, then CM Punk, but the odds of #1 winning that is 0.00000183 according to Kane.

 

[anotheridiot]

lets just hope Batista and Sandow or Reigns lock up for a few minutes.

Just saw Reigns real name is Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoa'i maybe he will somehow join the usos.

I agree with the Rhodes Brothers, I think the NAO won't be in for much longer

I think Bray Wyatt will win with help from his boys.

I think the Big Show will win due to DQ or Lesnar will leave the match.

And I agree with your last 2. Whenever someone has had a big return back to WWE, they have been winning everything. The Shield was like that, The Rock, Brock Lesnar was like that, Curtis Axel got Intercontinental quickly (who was a new name to WWE). Now I think Batista will fall in the same boat. It is a more interesting storyline for him to go after Randy Orton than John Cena.

My Call:

New Age Outlaws beat the Rhodes bros
Lesnar beats Big Show (Duh)
Orton beats Cena (likely by DQ or shennanigans)
DB beats Bray

Rumble: I agree DB pulls double duty and wins.

Also agree on RobBase description of Batista, lol. It was a pretty underwhelming return.

Last night in Pittsburgh, PA, the host city of tonight's Royal Rumble PPV, Kevin Nash hosted a Rumble kickoff party, and according to several fans in attendance, the word going around the party is that Nash was telling people he will be in the Royal Rumble match tonight.

As we recently noted, Nash dyed his hair dark once again, and though he claimed on Twitter it is for a TV pilot, we're being told the dye job was not for a TV project but was to restore his Diesel look for tonight's PPV.

We have reached out to sources within WWE and cannot confirm at this time whether or not Nash will indeed be in the Rumble match tonight, nor can we confirm if he will be billed as Kevin Nash or Diesel should he enter the match.

As of this writing, Nash is still in Pittsburgh as he has been spotted by several fans in the city who are attending the show.

This match made Lesnar look like a bitch. First match was awesome though.

 

[BPNAZ]

the multiple chair shots stuff gets old

Why not just have him do an F5 on top of the announce table or something, and then leave

Not really sure what the point of all that was

 

[Steelboy84]

Crowd still booing Rey. They wanted Bryan. And Kevin Nash was a wasted spot.

 

[Steelboy84]

Fans booing Batista. Reigns should have won.

 

[Steelboy84]

I give it a 2.5 on a 5 scale.

 

[StanMarsh51]

I give it a 2.5 on a 5 scale.

Yea, the rumble match was way too predictable. They could've put Bryan in there to at least give a glimmer of hope that Batista has a shot of not winning, but of course the fans would riot of Bryan didn't win.

Things I liked about the Royal Rumble match

*Kofi Kingston was exciting. Jumping from barricade back to the ring was awesome.
*Alexander Rusev was good
*Kane eliminating Punk and beating the crap out of him. Sets up good for upcoming storyline and hopefully Kane is back as a wrestler.
*Sheamus had a great return, unlike Del Rio
*Roman Reigns - eliminating the other shield members, breaking the record, getting the crowd on his side, and he should have won

Things I think they WWE messed up on

*Who knew Batista was going to win? Everybody did. Too predictable who was going to win.
*Even though I like that Kane eliminated CM Punk, I think they should have let CM Punk break the record for longest time in RR match.
*Kevin Nash, Kane, and JBL being in it, although Kane made up for it by eliminating Punk and all.
*The fact that Batista did win. Roman Reigns, Punk, Big E, or Ryback would have been better choices IMO.

Yea, but they would have been pleased with a reigns win. Reigns vs Orton at WM would be a hell of a draw.

 

[Steelboy84]

Cena vs Orton was horrible. It was like a Raw match. And of course Orton would only win with interference. Stealing each other's moves? I think this rivalry has run its course.

We want Styles! We want Styles!

 

[iowajerms]

Yea, but they would have been pleased with a reigns win. Reigns vs Orton at WM would be a hell of a draw.

I agree, there wouldn't even need to be changes in personas and Reigns has earned the spotlight over the past year, especially recently by being the standout in the Shield.
