snakebiteSB Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 So say an NXT star wins the Rumble, do they face the NXT champion or is it the Universal or WWE title they'll have to go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmerc Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 So say an NXT star wins the Rumble, do they face the NXT champion or is it the Universal or WWE title they'll have to go for? I assume like the past couple of Rumbles, the winner would chose which title they go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Carlton Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Looking at the RAW roster there are roughly 39 active male wrestlers, so with them going 3 brands only a quarter of the raw brand will be represented there. With the massive rosters and NXT jumping in i feel like it would actually make sense to do another 40 man one this year. Although i guess with a women's one too it would be quite a drag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmerc Posted December 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 8 RAW 8 SmackDown 8 NXT 6 Free agents Would be good with me. I like having the split because it means that everyone who is in it needs to be top talent. They should build stories around each spot being coveted. Top names miss out, leading to a change in character. Other character (eg Rollins) cheat to win a spot (with AOP for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGION Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 6 free agents are too much imo With NXT getting a third of the spots Thfree agents are enough Unless you're including people like JoMo, Naomi, The Usos, etc. in the free agents pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Ronda's winning the Rumble. I'd put money on it. The men's match is far more open this year, I think. Daniel Bryan would be a fair shout if they're keeping the title on Bray till Mania (which I hope) to give us the big final payoff to the angle. Wouldn't be surprised if Matt Hardy appears as "Woken" in the match either. That would be a decent pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AONO. Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 while I would love tbat... iz's not happening. The Fiend vs Roman is a lock in for me. Makes all the sense in the WWE Universe... sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPC Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 It be messed up, and a little funny if CM punks music hits and he comes out to do commentary for the Royal Rumble match. Then people will think he might jump up and get in the ring at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 John Morrison and Carlito, the infamous Rumble participants people always suggest every year. Throw in Chris Masters as The Masterpiece, and randomly book Shelton Benjamin and we'll complete the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Vercetti Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Ronda is my pick for the womens rumble, no clue about the mens. Don't want it to be Roman tho, but if he wins then *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I understand that they want Reigns vs Wyatt for Mania but I really hope they give the Rumble win to someone else.
