Orton?

I mean thank god Reigns didnt win, but why Orton? Orton is ehh. Thought the reason why he joined the Wyatt Family was to spice his character up and try something new. Him winning the Rumble and main eventing WM again isnt really interesting to me. Dont really get it.

Roman Reigns has become one of the best workers in the business. It's time he gets a little more credit and respect for always having a great match.

Def gonna be Reigns vs Taker at Mania and I'm not mad about it. If anyone can get a good match out of a washed up Taker, it should be Reigns. His style should be a good fit for Taker who can't move very well and should have retired already.

Also.. great match between AJ and Cena, too. One of Cena's best. Hard to have a bad match with AJ, but I give Cena credit for having good chemistry with him. Also, he didn't botch anything or undersell a lot of their stuff like he does vs others. And he sort of had a little edge to his character in this one. I can dig it. Just hope AJ gets a suitable opponent/spot on the card at Mania. Would like to see him steal the show with Ziggler or someone who can really go.

I don't watch raw or smackdown anymore. It just sucks too much. But I'll always tune into the PPVs, and this one was decent. Mania card is predictable now, though. Orton/Wyatt, Brock/Goldberg, Taker/Reigns, Rollins/HHH, and sadly.. Big Show/Shaq are all pretty much set in stone now.

Unless you think that they're going to put the belt on wyatt at the elimination chamber, that match is an impossibility.

The same people who reported days ago that Orton would win the rumble, also reported that Bray will win at EC and the plan is for them to face off at Mania for the title. And it makes sense. Because why else would Orton win this?

I thought the PPV was going really well till the Rumble. I didnt like the rumble match. None of the big stars were in at the same time.It was just meh. I dont know why but they seem to botch the rumble match/winners every year.

It would have really been big if they brought out Shinsuke Nakamura. That would have been to a huge pop and changed the whole dynamic of the PPV. I have no idea what they are planning for Wrestlemania but he has to play a big part of it.

Reigns going in at 30 made me mad why was he in it? I would've been upset if he won it again they started the ppv with a title match between him and Owens and he's probably gonna get a rematch anyway because of stroman.

Two reasons I think:

1) He's turning heel and facing Taker at Mania

2) When Orton eliminates him, that will get a definite pop

Agreed about the Rumble. Thought it was solid top to botton. I liked the Braun stuff, Corbin eliminating him, the showdown between Taker and Goldberg, Brock's LOL elimination, Reigns getting heat and Orton winning wasn't my ideal choice but they booked it well.

Smackdown is good. RAW is a chore to watch and I think some of that has to do with the three hours and also they have no creativity in booking so it's the same matches every week.

Heard AJ is gonna face Shane McMahon. It's a stupid match but at least it's a high profile match.

Raw has pretty much been the same for the past 3 months or so... the Jericho/Roman/Owens storyline is tired and old. Even New Day is getting old. C'mon WWE.

either way he wasnt winning it.

he did a promo a few weeks ago and botched his opening line like 3 times....

honestly, other than the streak and how wcw booked him, hes kind of awful.

its nostalgia that makes us like him.

So why have him destroying Brock every time? Hyping up a rematch at Mania?

Cena vs Styles was so so sooo good. Even better than their first one.

Roman seems to be clearly turning heel.

Orton winning is like the one thing better than Roman winning. Maybe he will face KO at WM? Or maybe Bray wins EC and faces Orton. IDK, I haven't really followed much after the brand split, just tuning into the PPVs
