It was decent. Better than last year's but that was easy Imagine Cody coming out at #30 with no clue of it .... Yeah have him come out earlier and Logan Paul at 30 for the heat of being a heel which they wanted and the heat of being a disappointment of not being Zayn |

I thought it was pretty mediocre, with some good moments here and there and a pretty good final stretch.
I dunno, most of it felt like going through the motions. And most of the “oh shit two hosses are about to fight” moments ended up leading to pretty forgettable exchanges.

Always negative. Constantly. It’s tiring. Just block me. Everyone else has. Or I can just lie and make overly cheery fake posts |

Honestly, since 2017's ass Rumble, we've had some great ones. 2018 was an all-timer, 2019 was very good, 2020 was an all-timer, 2021 was really good, 2022 sucked, and this one ruled.

Another thing I liked about both Rumbles is that groupings stayed together, no one did the "haha gotcha!" spot and threw their friend out of the match.
Judgment Day
Drew/Sheamus
Damage CTRL
all worked together, and fell together, and I appreciated that.

I liked it a lot from a work-rate perspective, lots of nicely done, crisp sequences. Brcok's few minutes were great, Dom's chickenshit heel work was very good, and there were some interesting moments. Gunther going through the whole match was a cool choice, though I couldn't buy the possibility that Cody was losing. (The women's Rumble also had a very predictable winner, but I think they did a better job of creating suspense.)

I loved it.
There were some parts I’d have changed around, but I thought it was well put together overall.
Cody was obviously winning and having him have to scratch and claw to eliminate Gunther after an hour and ten minutes just made Gunther make even better.
The Logan Paul and Ricochet spot was amazing
Like was mentioned above, I liked the teams/groups sticking together instead of doing the tired short lived turns.

Easily one of the better Rumble matches in the last several years. Made me glad I decided to tune into this one.  Major props for having WALTER go the full distance. The atmosphere massively helped make it better too. The crowd was so into it and by God, that f***ing pop Cody got! Gives you goosebumps! |

Was he though? When he came in everyone reacted like the shit was on and he was wrecking dudes until he got surprised tossed and then he rampaged and whipped Corbin’s ass too. I think that it was more of he’s not going to do any true main event matches at Mania so he just hit his greatest hits and rolled out. Meanwhile poor Rey Mysterio is still laying backstage somewhere. LMAO. Rey: I still get paid for this right? >_> Move over Curtis Axel! |
