    Fun Rumble matches this weekend despite not many surprises and the winners for both matches being very predictable. Bailey was the only women’s match entrant that made sense from a storyline perspective. For the men’s match, CM Punk or Cody were the only two, I know they were trying to throw a curve ball with Gunther on Raw last week, but that just didn’t make sense to me.

     

    Bayley, along with Becky, Bianca, and Nia(lol), were the only ones they actually promoted as having a chance. It was predictable but Bayley deserves her roses. She carried a portion of the Thunderdome era and has always been willing to put others over. Everyone thought Hugger Bayley would be female Cena in terms of popularity but the gimmick essentially bombed on the main roster. The death knell was the feud with Alexa.

     

    Bayley pointed out in the scrum that both rosters are so deep now that they used no "legends" in the Rumble. The only legit surprise was Jordynne Grace. I'd say there was an above 50% chance that most knew, Naomi (returning from TNA), Jade (in-ring debut), and Liv (returning from injury) would be in the Rumble. Was hoping for my girl, Dakota, but I guess the knee isn't ready yet.

     

    What was the big surprise for the men? Pat McAfee. lol. Reports are saying his spot was supposed to be Brock's before the bombshell dropped.

     

    And honestly, I thought The Rock was coming out at 30 and he would win. When he didn't, I thought Punk was winning and Cody would win EC next month. Really didn't think they'd let Cody win back-to-back Rumbles.

    Kaitlyn Dever is awesome, so I’m into it. The Mazin quote in that article (“Nothing matters more than talent”) makes me think they aren’t super concerned with her matching in-game Abby physically, which is probably the right call. 

     

    Indeed. She looks more like Ellie than Bella, who also was criticized for "not looking the part", but Bella knocked it out of the park as Ellie.
