My case is simple, the Saudi show is going to be the one with the bigger storylines. Legends returning. Etc.... Due to that show being one month after the Rumble now for a few years, to me, it's certainly taken away the interest level for the Rumble. Anyone feel the same way? Or other reasons why you aren't hyped for the Rumble on Saturday? I don't feel this way because the first part doesn't make sense. We have Edge and Beth wrestling in a tag match first time ever. Two WM level World title matches. Plus Lita and Mickie James. Not sure who or what legend is left that is active and possible. That is bigger than this. Goldberg again? Thats about it.

Even bad Rumbles are entertaining. One of the only things I miss about the product and one of the only things you can't find a better version of elsewhere

It's the Rumble. I don't get hyped I stay hyped.
That said, expectations are very low.
And if you watched RAW or Smackdown, the big Rumble storyline is who will be the Rumble winner from the big favourites to win - Montez Ford or Dominik Mysterio. They've been pushing the Rumble for weeks as a major thing. Montez (and Angelo) were the first to declare entry, bar the Jackass guy.

Yes, I am aware of the Casino Battle Royal, it's rubbish. Even TNA had its Royal Rumb...sorry, Gauntlet for the Gold Match.

That particular match was very entertaining. Oh there are several TNA "Not the Rumble match" matches I enjoyed. The Kevin Nash Invitational, the first KO title one, the Tag title won in 2007-ish which AJ and Tomko won. All really fun matches. They did a Royal Rumble match in a Hell in a Cell once which I loved the idea of, and can't find online, and dearly wish WWE would nick. But then ROH and MLW and ICW and everyone else blatantly just does a Rumble and calls it The Honor Rumble or the Square Go and everyone knows what it is. 'mon AEW.

Right now I'm a bit apathetic, but I'll still wake up like a kid on Christmas Sunday to check the results.

I love the Royal Rumble.
Though I must admit this is probably the least hyped I have been for one in awhile.
That said it is still one of the few PPVs I will still go out my way to watch.

I mean I love the Rumble matches... but that's all that really has my interest in general.
I haven't watched WWE with any kind of regularity in a while...
I've been done with Roman's reign forever and I don't see the Reign that never ends stopping for Seth at the Rumble.
Lashley vs. Brock... could be fun but it could also just be every other Brock match against big guys... which tend to be slogs.

all I really care about are the 2 title matches, especially Lashley and Lesnar
they've done a terrible done of building up both rumbles

I'm not feeling it either, and I'm really not sure why. I'm one of the biggest pro-WWE guys here and there's just so little desire from me to tune in to Peacock after work.

I'm mildly interested, but I wouldn't call it hype or excitement, exactly.

I'm hyped for the Rumble matches and the excitement of waiting to see who's next and what surprises there might be.
This might be one of the first years where I feel completely apathetic about who's actually going to win them though. I usually have hopes that a specific wrestler will win, or even that someone new and surprising will, but there's none of that this year.

I honestly don't care at all and as pessimistic as this sounds I know the same old players will win both rumbles and we get the same old dross up to mania with the same old names etc.Id love to be wrong and say if Damian Priest and Shotzi won the rumbles I'd be pleased but no chance either will.

Whilst I can't say it's my favourite PPV outside of Mania (Survivor Series has always been my second favourite for whatever reason) I do enjoy watching Rumble but I can't say my expectations are high for this years one.

I'm always excited for the Rumble. Even if they are bad, the anticipation is fun.
Same for WrestleMania week.
