I'm also going to add HHH to my list. Would set up for HHH v. Reigns at WM.

I'm really liking the complete psycho that they've turned Reigns in to

Royal Rumble title match! We have had some awful rumbles in recent years and I like this idea.

Tired of this Super Cena v 2.0 crap. If Roman conquers more odds... I'm done until D Bry is back.

For the first time in 24 years, the WWE championship will be on the line in the Royal Rumble match.

Answers my question of who would be challenging for the title, and who would be carrying the belt into 'Mania. Gotta be Reigns, right? Vince's "hail mary" on getting the guy over?

It definitely makes the Rumble more interesting, that's for sure.

I don't think he wins it, I think they use The Rumble as a way to get the title off him without him getting pinned and have HHH cost him the match to set up a WrestleMania match. Where they go with the title is beyond me

Can anything make ya'll happy when it comes to WWE? I mean personally I've been enjoying the route they've had Roman going. Seems to fit him.

And you say I'm done until D Bry is back? Really? You complain about Super Cena but that's what D Bry was too. You're cool with a small guy being in 2 matches in one night, being put through a table, taken out on a stretcher and coming back to beat both Batista AND Randy Orton (who were both in their first match of the night). But if anyone else does it it's an issue.

Could be. I feel that may be our best bet at this point. Reigns retaining may be seen as him being "forced upon us" or "shoved down our throats" further, resulting in more backlash. It seems the Rumble is the make-it-or-break-it night for the company for many die-hard (read: smark) fans, so I wouldn't be surprised if they put the title on someone else. Probably a returning guy who the fans are OK with holding the title.

Disclaimer #1: As long as they don't just use the opportunity to put this belt on ADR, I'll be ok.

Disclaimer #2: They'll find a way to make me eat those words


Edit:

I, too, have been enjoying the journey as of late. Not the most addictive WWE I've ever seen, but better than a Cena/ADR feud or Orton flipping face/heel every few months just to remain relevant. IMO, of course.

Re: Raw 1/4/16: Deep in the Heart of Texas

I'm going with Brock, Roman, and hell maybe even Wyatt as my picks to win the match.

Unless I mis-heard Cole, they're only doing one minute intervals for the rumble. Add in the fact that the title match they usually have is the actual rumble this year and they have a lot of card to fill. The IC and Divas titles are the only other angles they have going

Re: Raw 1/4/16: Deep in the Heart of Texas

Does Saxton provide anything other than someone for JBL and Cole to berate?

I like Saxton on commentary, but just gets annoying having JBL/Cole constantly bashing him. He can just be like "This is an intense match going on with both superstars doing whatever they can to knock out their opponent!", then randomly you'll hear JBL or Cole be like "I wish I could knock you out Byron"......Why? Just shut up and call the match.

Sad thing about that Jericho rundown of the state of WWE's ratings etc. is that he's actually telling the truth unlike his initial debut with The Rock where he was spouting that stuff out despite the company doing record numbers in all those categories.

That's the funny thing about WWE today. Everything in that attitude era video from Mr.McMahon he was talking about what WWE needs to move away from, is exactly what WWE is doing today. And everything Jericho was bashing WWE about when he debut, was so untrue back then, and fans were booing him at the thought of any of that even being true, but it's actually true today.

No, no, no...not like this. He should have been a mystery entrant? Also going to pose a discussion question, who are your 3 surprise entrants this year?

I'm going with Rock don't know why just a feeling, Finn Balor, and Randy Orton.

I can see Sami Zayn entering(and costing Owens the match). RVD probably back too(returns as surprise entrant,and after rumble joins up with Dudleys). I see HHH getting involved in some way, whether it be as an entrant, or just interference on Reigns.

Re: Raw 1/4/16: Deep in the Heart of Texas

Really like the rumble being for the title. Sure, now it becomes slightly more predictable cause outside shots like Wyatt,Owens among others who might have chance to win the rumble for #1 contenders spot, won't win anymore, but you still don't really know who'll win.

Lesnar appearing next week, guessing he's announcing he'll be in the rumble too. Don't see a need for it since it's a money match without a title, but if Rock is gonna be at WM, if he's gonna compete, maybe we get Lesnar winning the title at the rumble, Rock then challenging Lesnar for the title at WM. Whatever he does at WM, will be making headlines all over, so what better way to catch attention of those who might not be current fans, than by hearing WM will have Rock-Lesnar for the title.

Jericho being at the rumble makes me think he'll also be here for WM now also. Maybe some Jericho-Ambrose feud possible(continuation from the tag match last year with the tension between both of them at the end of their match)? Or Jericho-Owens even. Either way, RTWM time is coming, and I'm really looking forward to RTWM season this year more than many in years past, hope they don't disappoint.

Re: Raw 1/4/16: Deep in the Heart of Texas

Last week McMahon said HHH was going to get revenge on Reigns when he least expects it...I'm kind of hoping HHH wins the Rumble
