glennsoe Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Credit:pwinsider Since we've been asked about his potential return for some time, PWInsider.com is told that Edge is penciled in to return at the WWE Royal Rumble PPV. He was last seen at the Extreme Rules PPV in October, losing to Finn Balor in an I Quit Match. WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix is also slated for the Rumble we are told. The word making the rounds at TV this week was that Doudrop would be back around that time as well, returning to the Raw brand. She noted recently online that she's been away for an extended period due to an illness. Logan Paul is absolutely being talked about in regard to an appearance at the Rumble as well, as long as his knee is rehabbed and he's ready to go.

T-Hell Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 LA Knight could sell you a rotten orange for 100 bucks and you'd still come back for more. He's just one of the greatest talkers in there no discussion. Can't wait for their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just one of the greatest talkers in there no discussion. Can't wait for their match. It’s just a shame it took so long for him to get “discovered”. Like did he not develop his shtick until his mid 30’s or something? He was on the WWE2K mocap team since like 2015 so clearly he was on someone’s radar, but he could’ve and should’ve been in the WWE system years ago, doing what he’s doing now. Was he never signed to a developmental deal before this run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dje_wba Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 He signed a developmental deal in 2013, but was released in August 2014. The ring name he had at the time was Slate Randall, and it was about six months after he was released that he went to TNA/Impact, and started to properly make a name for himself as Eli Drake.

I remember I didn’t start hearing about him until he became Eli Drake, and then I couldn’t stop hearing about him. I finally saw him in Billy Corgan’s NWA and knew it was only a matter of time before he got snatched up even though age could be an issue. Goes to show you, never say never. Chase your dreams until you reach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennsoe Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Everyone's favorite to win is Cody,I'd rather have Zayn win.. I'd hold of on Cody/Roman until summerslam... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I’m thinking Cody wins, Cody can even win the title because you can still eventually do Rock/Roman without the title. Sami I think will team with Owens to beat the Usos for the tag titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennsoe Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Credit:pwinsider A graphic being used on international WWE social media accounts features the following talents as included on tonight's Men's Royal Rumble match: -Elias -Johnny Gargano -Otis -Chad Gable -Madcap Moss -Montez Ford -Angelo Dawkins -Damian Priest -Finn Balor PWInsider.com has confirmed Gargano is indeed in San Antonio, so if he competes, it is his return from the shoulder injury he suffered several weeks back. The graphic did not include Xavier Woods, who was implyed as competing on last night's Royal Rumble. If Xavier is not part of the bout, that would leave the following talents official: Kofi Kingston, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Austin Theory, Ricochet, Santos Escobar, Cody Rhodes, Omos, Rey Mysterio, GUNTHER, Baron Corbin, Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Karrion Kross, Dominik Mysterio, The Miz, Brock Lesnar. If WWE's social media post is listing a correct lineup, that would leave 4 competitors to be revealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
