So, Bryan's just never gonna win a Rumble, huh? Eh, he joins the Randy Savage and Kurt Angle company in that regard, so...

I feel like this is something that if WWE did it with Lesnar or Goldberg or someone like that there'd be a massive uproar, but because it's someone the IWC likes most will give it a pass. And....... Edge literally was in the whole match, his first match off injury since the summer This isn't a "but you like situation". Edge is a logical challenger for either man while we have seen Lesnar and Goldberg against both men (well not Goldberg but we was getting that last year)

Funny thing though is that they sort of did an anti 2020 and kind of made the ring full consistently for both rumbles

Because why create new stars when we can just wheel out relics from 2 decades ago and draw just as much money.

At least he worked for it and they have more names to pad that out without even hinting at STEVEN RICHARDS/HARDCORE HOLLY/VACANT/INSERT WHOEVER ELSE COULD BE REFERENCED HERE.

Edge is the one legend I don’t give a single fxxx about winning things. One of my all time favorites and I popped so fxxxing hard when he won. The fact that Rated R Superstar Edge specifically is getting a legend run also is like holy shit

Except Edge just came from injury last year after a 10 year break so he is a new star to a bunch of kids Plus that young whipper snapper Daniel Bryan was the other favorite and he's not exactly being created as a new star either

Right Edge worked like "one of the boys". He's not resting on his legend status. The dude said f*** it, i'm coming off injury and want to work with everyone as much as possible If not a matter of if Edge will work with the young guys, he will. This is not the same with Lesnar and Goldberg. More so Lesnar

Edge wasn’t my first preference, or even in my first five. But this wasn’t some lucky break, come in at #30 and steal it nonsense. Dude was in there the whole time. I’m fine with Edge winning.

Edge winning the Rumble and challenging for the title he never lost - maybe his last shot ever - is a damn good story.

I can’t be mad about dudes and ladies from the past coming back and getting that money.

But but but .... the WWE is only always bad narrative! I know, I know. There’s so much to hate about WWE but they objectively put on a good show tonight and made strong decisions. I’m excited for the road to Mania.

I think the story is more effective that way, but I guess either works.

I know they won't, but I think outside of the two most likely possible matches, Edge vs. Finn could be a fun option too.

I can’t be mad about dudes and ladies from the past coming back and getting that money. And also...none of this is a surprise. They’ve been bad at making stars for two decades now. The amount of talent that got chewed up and spat out during that time is a long ass list. It took them six years to figure out Roman Reigns, the guy they’ve tried to make the top guy who they only figured out when nobody was there to see it. If you are going to bring these guys back, find the right spot for them and do it right. More Goldberg/Lesnar and less...well, Goldberg/anyone else for the most part.

I think the story is more effective that way, but I guess either works. If predicting right now, I think he takes an L to Drew Mac (Drew drops the title to Lashley at some point) and Edge has a confidence crisis Him and Christian tag up for a bit, probably win the tag belts. Edge turns on Christian and we finally get that one on one match between these two
