***2026 Royal Rumble 2pm EST***

There’s a betting pool thread, but feels like event chatter can go here.

I’m watching in a movie theater, so I’m just guessing that “phone down” etiquette (which I would never breach during a movie under penalty of death) may not apply.

I did the movie theater thing once ever for an AEW ppv. Idea was fun in theory but in practice it was just ****ing late and dark and hard to stay awake toward the end of those marathon aew cards.

Definitely feels like a better idea for an afternoon show though!


My current knowledge is washed, but I’ll root against this dude in the Niners jacket.


First time creeking this on Netflix and the quality is so bad it makes me wish I just ponied up the money to watch it in a movie theater


Oh yeah. I forgot how the women would be dressed.

i assume espn isnt an option for you (or you've chosen not to go that route).

But the stream quality has been excellent

Once WWE Network became a thing, I said goodbye to shelling out $30+/mo for PPVs on principle

as someone who does not cut the cord, my cable sub includes espn unlimited for no additional charge.

so there's that!

really brutal. Impossible for any woman to actually stand out in the ring. 30 women all wearing the exact same thing in a different color


Lola Vice. Ivy Nile. Nia Jax

Did the same person create all these stage names?


Really surprised they didnt have Rhea do the 'clear the ring' spot.

Too many in the ring imo


most elims totally up for grabs.

not a single ring clear spot in this thing


I think Lash had eliminations (5) - Sol Ruca lasted longest (not confirmed). Tiffy runner-up. Liv winner.

Charlotte was over 50 minutes, gonna be close between her and Sol


Ah - Probably her then. They just posted 59:49 for Charlotte on Wiki.


That was not the best. A couple of stories got a bit of a bump, but overall it was just slow and uninteresting.


Daniel Bryan was more over with the crowd than everyone in that Rumble combined


Yeah, it wasn’t great. Fun endgame, though admittedly I’m biased because I drew Liv.

Endgame was decent, set up NXT title feud and Judgement Day controversy (and Liv was the right choice to win if Bianca can't compete), but the rest was not great (the crowd being non-existent did not help)


So how come sometimes a ref will pick the arm up in these spots and do the classic 3 count.

And when it suits them randomly its just a one count here?


So much for Breakker being a favorite


Ok, did not expect Bron to get 15 seconds.


I liked my chances when I found out I had Breaker .

you got screwed too! he was supposed to be #1, but a graphic error spoiled it on smackdown, and wwe did the classic pivot and moved him to 2
