WWE uploaded them both.
Still feels weird to see everything in the Thunderdome. With a day to go to the Rumble matches, how did everyone feel about the match last year?
Seeing Christian and Bryan in there, just gives vibes now of AEW guys in there. And seeing Carlito finally come back was a blast.

The finish with Bianca and Rhea reminded me of Batista and Cena in 2005. The final two being two up and comers and both would go on to win their first world titles at Wrestlemania.
Was Edge considered the obvious pick to win beforehand? I expected him to have a strong showing but I really didn't think they'd do the winning from number one thing with him. I'm not sure who else would have won though. Bryan maybe but if he only had a few months left on his contract they probably weren't about to give him arguably the biggest accolade of the year.

The finish with Bianca and Rhea reminded me of Batista and Cena in 2005. The final two being two up and comers and both would go on to win their first world titles at Wrestlemania. Very much so, it was one of the only finales I remember of a Rumble where if either won, I would have been happy. From what I remember, it was a lot more like people would have been surprised if he didn’t win and there really wasn’t another big choice. Bryan really only came in because they didn’t exactly do a great job with Edge/Roman and needed to do something else to get some interest which…I have no idea how they pulled that off since that felt like a super easy feud to build. |

I wish we didn't know who #1 and #2 were. That is ALWAYS the appeal of the Rumble match. Not knowing ahead of time who's in the match.

That womans match was great. We've touched on the Iconics/Riott Squad/Jillian stuff, but Rhea and Bianca looked like beasts, and there were some really good eliminations: Bayley's under the bottom rope sliding powerbomb on Ruby, the apron bomb on Dana Brooke, Reggie dropping Carmella. It also seemed the best paced to date.
The mens Rumble was strange, but on rewatch it holds up reasonably. Still a lot of strange choices in it though.

Seeing how awesome that Bianca/Rhea sequence was at the end, it makes Rhea’s booking all the more annoying.
Clearly WWE only saw one of them as an actual top woman.

Christian's return and the team up with Edge is an all timer Rumble moment for me. I know "points at the Wrestlemania sign after winning" is one of the most disliked visuals but I thought Edge's take on it was great.  |

Last year's women's Rumble was the best of the four so far.

Last year's Women's Rumble was a LOT of fun. Sequence between Belair and Ripley was awesome, Bayley's spot with Ruby...Just a lot of fun overall.
Literally my only negative really about their Rumble was lack of a crowd but that couldn't be helped.
I did enjoy the men's one but not as much as the women's one last year. As Doo Doo has already said I think it's the best one so far with the first one now being my second favourite for the women.

They missed their last chance ever for an Attitude Era final 4 with Jeff, Christian, Edge and Kane.
