WWE Royal Rumble 1/27/19

[DJ]

Is this a 4- or 5-hour show?

^It's a 4hr show (not including pre-show)

Not saying I think No Way Jose will be in, but I wanna see a conga line at the Rumble given how big that ramp is likely going to be. Speaking of which, if it is a long ramp, I wonder how that impacts entrances for the Rumble. Either run to the ring for a marathon match, or try to get to the ring before the next person enters lol.

12 spot left in the mens, and 14 left for the womens. Any guesses on appearances?

Mens:
-Braun (only if he's winning)
-Roode or Gable
-Kurt Angle (He can count as the "former superstar appearance")
-A Sanity Member
-Orton
-Dillinger (he NEEDS to enter at #10 every year he's on the roster)
-Benjamin
-EC3
-Sullivan
-NXT Superstar
-Kevin Owens
-Sami Zayn

Womens:
-Bliss
-Nia
-Tamina
-Charlotte
-Lana
-Lacey
-Cross
-7 spots remain after this. We're sure to see a few former stars return, and probably 1-2 NXT superstars too.

Only thing that really interests me enough in the show to watch is the atmosphere and visuals of a bigger stadium like that. And modern WWE production has a way of making even the bigger places look like just another show on TV.

It sucks how they can lessen a stadium. WM at times just seems normal until you get those big shots and remember it's a 70,000 seat stadium. Watching past WMs on WWE24, it's almost like experiencing WM from a whole new perspective because of the different camera angles and focus.

But from what I heard about how the entrances could be done, I really hope it comes off anywhere close to as cool as it sounds :

Spoiler

The entrance could be happening from the dugout.

WWE announcing the participants of the women's rumble on Sunday. Still have about half to announce, but I don't like this type of reveal. Big fun of rumble is not knowing who's gonna enter. Possibly knowing every entrant beforehand ruins that fun.

And someone like Charlotte being announced like that. We know she'll be in it, but given everything lately, I could've seen her announce herself entering on the final SD before the rumble, making her intentions known on who she wants at WM.

That's what I've been hating. I wish they would just have it revealed who was 30 cuz of the MMC then had the rest be random. I hate how people say I'm entering the rumble. It makes it boring for me.

That tells me they don’t really have any surprise entrants planned

If they're announcing one every 30 minutes, I don't see how they'd be announcing the whole field. Probably just doing the expected names.
