I dont think we're getting a World Title match now with Seth's injury, but if anything I hope they add Lashley/Street Profits vs Kross/AOP to the card. We dont get many 6 man tag matches on actual PPV.

That's where it seems like it's headed.

They could've done a match on the SD before the Rumble but it's just listed as a "face off" which I could see as the setup for the match at the Rumble if they need it.

Both rumbles combined let's say takes 2 hours and 15 mins.

Fatal 4 way maybe 45 minutes?

Paul vs Owens could go let's say 20 minutes.

Still got close to 40 mins or so of a show you need filled. Definitely would've been the WHC match, but now you're probably having this 6 man tag match for 15 minutes, probably a few more ads, and that could be it. Don't think this event will go beyond 4 hours. Although, Rollins could still come out and cut a promo during the show.

It's fun watching some recent past rumbles and seeing some people in their early days. Mainly for the Women's rumble since they have NXT talent in theirs.

You almost forget Bianca was in that 2020 rumble months before being called up. Rhea was in the 2019 Rumble 2 years before she got called up.

Kacy/Katana also in that 2019 rumble with a cool save 4 years before being called up to the main roster.

So much has changed since 2019 vs today.

Listening to New Days podcast from 4 years ago about the Rumble! Can't believe their show isn't around anymore.

It still holds up in this instance. They're just talking about their fave rumble moments and memories.

They're like "this show is all Kofi, we don't have any rumble moments. My rumble moment is when I was supposed to be in it but I wasn't. I was on tv saying I was in the Rumble and then when everyone got their number they didn't give me one."

Going with Punk and Jade Cargill winning their respective Rumbles. Bayley wins the Elimination Chamber and challenges Iyo Sky while Punk challenges Rollins and Cargill challenges Ripley. As for Reigns, he'll face The Rock and retain his title as he should.

My "official" (which could still change) picks are Bayley for the Women and CM Punk wins the rumble for sure, but with the crazy prediction of Punk AND Cody being eliminated at the same time.

Double winner is very tricky especially if it's obvious one guy is out before the other. Don't know if they'd try this now when there's cameras filming in the crowd from basically 360 degrees. Might be too early to test their new head of production (or whatever his title is) by directing the camera crew to capture a live double elimination at a specific angle so it looks like both touched at the same time.

Even 2005 Cena was technically the winner during the double elimination but they redid the finish for Batista. And that was before video phones.

Are we doing the picks game this year?
