You guys catch Lesnar get legit pissed?

After Strowman hit the knee to the head, Lesnar got up and hit him twice with legit UFC punches. Dropped Strowman to
his knees.

I caught that. I posted about it a couple pages ago haha

Rousey not trained in the WWE style yet. Probably would have broken Asuka's arm lol.

She has been training in Cali with Brian Kendrick secretly.

Other than that weird song for her debut, I thought Ronda appearing was cool. Seeing a lot of stupid comments about how she is disrespecting Roddy Piper. Like dude, you all realize Piper gave her the Rowdy nickname and they were friends right? Or that the jacket she was wearing last night was Roddy's and was given to her by his son.

Fracking millennials.

She came out to the same song she used to walkout during her UFC run, Joan Jett's Bad Reputation. WWE would have had to pay for the rights to use it like they did with Punk and using Living Colors Cult of Personality so probably not going anywhere.

So apparently it's going to be Rousey and a partner vs Steph and HHH. Shane maybe?

Smart move to not feed the 1st women's rumble winner to her. Build that program to next year's Mania.

The current rumor is WWE is hoping to secure The Rock to finish what they started at WrestleMania 31 between The Rock/Rousey and Triple H/Stephanie. Up to now all the rumors were The Rock's schedule was going to be air tight due to his filming schedule.

So the reason Alicia Fox was pulled from the RR and her upcoming mixed tag match with Goldust was due to a broken tailbone.

Ouch.

So glad Nakamura won. I was gonna be pissed if Cena or Reigns won. The women's RR match was better, IMO.
It seems like Rusev is really over now with this "Rusev Day" I would have been happy seeing him win the RR. Rusev vs. Styles could be entertaining.
I hope Mysterio hangs around for awhile. He looked great last night. If he does stay around, I pray they don't waste him on 205 Live.
Was hoping for Big Cass to return last night.

Overall, it wasn't to bad, the only real problem I had was the match order. You put the WWE title, which is "the title" on in the first match and then 50 minutes or so into the show were having the Rumble. Horrible placement IMO. All these damn belts are silly. One world champ, one "B" title, one set of tag titles, one womens, and make the cruiserweight title relevant.

-When the mens RR match went on early, I knew either RR was debuting or Brock was the main event and dropping the title.

-Worried a little that they might have Reigns go over in the RR given the match going on early. Would have gotten a lot of heat but they had more matches to follow it up with and make fans forget.

-Hopefully Seth burns those god awful tights he wore.

-Although highly unlikely, I hope the WWE puts Styles vs Nakamura as the final match at WM. Crowd won't s**t on the winner like they will with Reigns (unless the plan is to turn Roman heel)

I think they used Reigns brilliantly. Get the crowd (especially a smark crowd in Philly) freaking out about Reigns and help push Naka even more.

oh yeah baby

Sounds like Asuka vs Charlotte and Nia vs Bliss.

Becky looked really good last night!
