What do you guys think was the best rumble of the 10βs? Iβd probably say 2018 followed by 2017. A lot of forgettable ones this past decade and some god awful ones like 2010 and 2015. I'm gonna say 2018. Both the men's and women's match were great for different reasons. I consider 2014 thru 2016 as the Rumble dark age.

2018 has definitely been the best men's Rumble since I started watching again. The last few minutes between Nak and Roman were awesome and it gave us a winner most of the fans were happy with for a change.
As for the women, I was more invested in this past one but think 2018 was a better match.

2016 was a well structured rumble, from AJ's debut, to the veterans locking the match together, to Kane and Big SHow looking to work together like in 2015 only for baby Braun Strowman to come out and just murder both of them single handed, to Owens/Ambrose facing off, to Sami Zayn's return to take out KO, to the Wyatts dominating but not too long before Brock came out to destroy them. The flaw was the way they got rid of Brock (bit anticlimatically) and the Roman Reigns get out of the hour bit. But there was a lot of good stuff in that rumble, it flowed like a proper rumble and it was easily superior to the 2011-15 ones.
They also had the finishing stretch full of people the fans like getting hope spots, and ended on Ambrose v HHH so the crowd were hot. Instead of Reigns v HHH.

2016 was a pretty middle of the road Rumble. I remember a lot of people liking at the time although that may have just been because most of Rumbles that had recently come before had been so unsatisfying. Not an all time great or anything but other then the Reigns stuff it was perfectly fine. Even the Lesnar/Wyatt stuff while weird in hindsight as they dropped it afterwards was pretty cool at the time. Styles debut was also very well done. I know I'm in the minority but I actually liked 2014. If you take out the controversy of the Batista/Bryan situation it's a pretty solid Rumble. Also I've always been a Batista mark and never cared for Bryan as a face so even that really didn't bother me at all even though it was definitely the wrong booking situation.

I'd guess they'll get back on the Reigns bandwagon and have him defeat The Fiend at WM. For whichever title isn't challenged by the Rumble winner, the challenger will be picked at Elimination Chamber, so Roman may have two shots at the Fiend. Wouldn't it be something if someone from NXT won the Rumble and went after Lesnar? Could be Ciampa's way back to the main roster, or Riddle's call-up.

So, how many guys from the 2010 Roster could be in this rumble?
I got:
Morrison Miz Punk Gallows Sheamus McIntyre Bryan Hawkins Edge Orton Mysterio R-Truth Benjamin Big Show Ziggler Epico Primo Kane Kingston Cena Undertaker
That's actually a bigger chunk than I realized.

So is there even the slightest chance that at least one of these Rumbles doesn't have somebody hide outside of the ring for awhile?

What makes the whole hiding outside the ring even dumber is going by their logic then why does anybody even bother entering the ring? Going by how every freaking battle royal in the last few years has had the exact same stupid finish with someone hiding outside the ring almost the whole match and sneaking in at the end to win, you know the officials aren't going do anything to you if you don't get in. They definitely need to enforce a 10 count rule. If you get knocked out and fall outside the ring and can't make it back in too bad. If someone incapacitates so much that you can't make it back in the ring after that long it should be good for an elimination even if it isn't over the top rope.

As one of the very few people that still enjoys it but admits it could do with better booking.
I'd like to see at least 3 to 4 24/7 Title changes during the Rumble Match itself.

To be honest, I'm most interested in who draws #14 this year on either side.

I've said it in the past: The Reverse Battle Royal isn't actually a stupid idea when it's the logical progression of not forcing people to actually get in the ring. If no one has to be in there, the only way to win becomes through people in the ring and then back out again.

Dean Ambrose made peace with The Shield then retired. We all saw this.

Fiend/Bryan, Becky/Asuka 2 and the Rumble matches. This is looking like a real good card so far imo.

Wonder whatever happened to Dean Ambrose though. Moxley did get another staph infection before his All Out match with Omega was supposed to happen, but recovered from that one as well.
