Pretty light on matches. What if one of the Rumbles goes like 90 mins? Last year, Cody Rhodes and Gunther had what basically amounted to an 8-minute match as the final two. If it comes down to Cody and CM Punk as the final two this year, I could absolutely see them getting like 10 minutes in the ring together to build the drama. I was thinking a 15 min triple threat type mini match situation. That hasn't been done before.

Both Rumbles are going to be about an hour. The championship match will be about 30 minutes with entrances. The United States title match will be about 15-20 minutes with entrances. Throw in interviews, Rumble by the Numbers, recaps and other junk, it all adds up to about three hours.

Anyone think Austin is a legitimate possibility for the Rumble, to set up a program for Mania?

Anyone think Austin is a legitimate possibility for the Rumble, to set up a program for Mania? Last year I thought there was a chance with the Rumble being in Texas, his Mania match going well and there being light rumors of Austin v Brock at the time. I canβt really see it now though. And it might be weird to say about the biggest draw of all time but theyβre in a spot where they donβt really need him now. The Owens thing in Texas was perfect for a farewell match. Iβm not even sure what he would do at Mania. Could his neck even takes F5s or German suplexes if he faced Brock?

And really, the best match for him would probably be with Punk, which wonβt happen this year. Lesnar would be fun but the logistics of it with his neck do make it seem hard.

So what Entry Numbers do we think are going to win this year?
Perhaps in the Men's it is time for Entry 27 to redeem itself after having it's record stolen by entry 30 which funnily enough despite being rated the best number you can draw took 19 Years to produce a Rumble winner then did it again a year later and now has the Record with 5.
In a way 27 over the years has become a bit of an overrated Number to draw as despite having the record for so long it has been 23 years since it's last winner. But at least if it won this year it would be equal again.
Or perhaps one of the 11 Numbers that has never produced a Winner in the Mens Rumble can finally have their Year.
Winners History
01. HBK (95), B****t (04), Edge (21), Ripley (23) 02. Mcmahon (99), Mysterio (06) 03. Ric Flair (92), Belair (21) 04. N/A 05. Austin (97) 06. N/A 07. N/A 08. Orton (09) 09. N/A 10. Rollins (19) 11. N/A 12. N/A 13. Duggan (88)* Was only a 20 Man Rumble. 14. Nakamura (18) 15. N/A 16. McIntyre (20) 17. Charlotte Flair (20) 18. HBK (96) 19. Cena (13) Reigns (15) 20. N/A 21. N/a 22. HHH (02) Sheamus (12) 23. Luger Co Winner (94) Orton (17) 24. Hogan (91) Austin (98) Rock (00) 25. Hogan (90) Asuka (18) 26. N/A 27. John Studd (89) Yokozuna (93) Hart Co Winner (94) Austin (01) 28. Batista x 2 (05 and 14) Lynch (19) Rousey (22) 29. Lesnar (03) Edge (10) 30. Taker (07) Cena (08) HHH (16) Lesnar (22) Rhodes (23)
38. Del Rio (11) Unless they do another 40 Man Rumble in the Future this will probably be a one off.

Hear me out bro.
Only Punk and Cody left in the ring toward the end.
Last entrant comes out - it's GOLDBERG
Folds Cody with a spear. Superkicks Punk. Throws both out of the ring at the same time. Crowd gets enraged. Who cares? ROMAN'S NEXT!!!

Is anyone else kind of tired of the trope of entrant no. 30 being a big surprise? It's almost to the point that we're expecting it so much that whoever it is, it's bound to let us down.
In 2016, it was Triple H. In 2017, it was Roman Reigns. In 2018, it was the "retired" Dolph Ziggler and the retired (no quotation marks) Trish Stratus. In 2019, it was Nia Jax in the men's Rumble. In 2022, it was Brock Lesnar. In 2023, it was Nia Jax in the women's Rumble.
I'm hereby petitioning that nos. 30 in the Rumbles be like Akira Tozawa and Candice LeRae.

My prediction..
Number 30 is a surprise entrant, and it'll be Roman Reigns. Roman wins!

Nice to have the Judgment Day trio do double-duty and react to both Rumbles.

I'd love to see this for previous Rumbles. Especially if Rhea, Dom, and Priest are there.

Just going simple on my predictions for the Rumbles and saying Bayley and Punk win while Roman interferes to eliminate Cody himself. Also, apparently something got posted on WWEShop for a few moments and it got screenshotted.... {Spoiler}A "THE BOSS IS BACK" shirt for Sasha Banks.
