Okay then.


What?


Jey Uso is pretty great though, I can't hate it.


Had Cena and Paul in the “high roller.” Was legit spending my money already.

What in the hell was that?


Good show. Look forward to WrestleMania.


Looks like Cena was even money. Jey Uso was 66/1


Assuming he has to challenge Gunther, no?


Great from a surprise standpoint.

Also ensures I don't give a shit about at least one Mania title match.


As nice as a surprise winner is, definitely seemed like it was such a surprise that the crowd was too stunned to pop.


Fun result in that I was swerved, but it still doesn’t ’feel’ right.

Here’s a possibly hot take: John Cena wrestling in 2025 feels like an actor wrestling, not John Cena the all time great back wrestling. All the crazy faces he makes. Reactions, eye contact ****. It just feels unserious to me.


"That might have been the greatest RR of all time"

"And that is not recency bias!"

Narrator: It was recency bias

He's always been a poor actor in the ring.


I'm too out of the loop to judge just how crazy the result was or wasn't, but based on my piecemeal spotty knowledge it doesn't seem THAT wildly out of line? Whenever I drop back in, Jey Uso is increasingly a player doing cool stuff.

It doesn't feel like making Jinder Mahal the world champion or something.


No, it was not the best Rumble ever, but it was pretty good.


Cena was so obviously bad tonight in a way even more emphasized than in the past. Is it just that he's older and slower that makes his lack of subtlety worse or is everyone else just a lot better now than at his peak?


Focusing on Cody's "health concerns" after the ladder spot is hilarious seeing as how KO absolutely took the worst of that. Cody's bump didn't seem all that bad (considering the spot).


Cena confirming he’s going to win EC on the post show.

I’m not as in the know but this was by far the most shocked I’ve been by a rumble champ

This is a pretty stacked group of 6 guys in the ring right now.

And then there's Jey

This is what I was thinking

Very surprised, was a good Rumble

I enjoyed seeing IShowSpeed as a ring in and getting flattened


ngl after no AJ in the women's rumble, and then seeing Punk in the final four, I wondered if they'd get down to Punk and someone, then have her come out and interfere to decide it somehow in his favor. Would have blown the roof off.

I thought Logan Paul might have shot until he did that jump spot onto the table. Don't think they'd let the planned winner do something that risky.

Also don't understand why didn't just hop back to the ring on one leg.

Why even go back to the ring at all? Or at least just wait until there's only 1 left.


by LKJ k

Huh. It's possible for McAfee to actually lay out and let a moment breathe. I can only assume someone snuck up and choked him out shortly before the entrance reveal.

Omg king! Its Taz!

"They all went nuts when Nikki Bella was introduced as entrant #30!"

Cut to a shot of a bunch of people not reacting at all to her return. Nice

Gotta cash in on that Traitors tie in

Of all the Rumble cliches, acting like anybody over 300-350 can't possibly be thrown over the top rope might be my least favorite.

More than the 68463847362 skin the cat with one foot touching the floor moments we get each rumble?
