If they could have, they'd have probably put a Rousey v Stephanie singles match on this card, the way this things getting loaded up with the big stars.

Ah, I see the "I hope this isn't a literal metaphor for Rusev's career" gags have been made already. Top work, FAN. Such a shame, Rusev's going to die on Rusev Day. Maybe he'll wi... sorry, can't even finish that sentence with a straight face.

He’s not THAT much of a loser, hell he’s only won one less match than Roman Reigns has this year. ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

Since this is basically a PPV at this point I wonder if a second Royal Rumble will become a yearly thing. The winner should get a title match at SummerSlam.

I fear that this will be a 4-hour pay per view.

When the last time Undertaker was in a casket match? Must be going all out if their getting a Taker match outside of wrestlemania in one of his gimmick matches. Survivor Series 2008, vs Big Show.

I fear that this will be a 4-hour pay per view. I don't see how it can be shorter. There's already going to be 7 title matches, plus an Undertaker casket match, plus Cena vs. Triple H, plus a 50-man Rumble. Might be 5 hours.

How funny would it be if the guy with the long hair who goes to every event with his mum ended up in the crowd at this, too lol.

Enough time has elapsed since Wade Barrett was buried (again) after the last King of the Ring to hold another one, and have the winner get a Universal Title shot. Or they could have a tournament where dudes are paired up, and the winning duo face off against each other for a title shot. But two Royal Rumbles every year? Considering just how much dead air is in a normal Royal Rumble, having two is too much.

Personally, for the Saudi Arabia shows, I'd do it with a different WWE concept every year. Rumble this year, Survivor Series the next (for example), Elimination Chamber, Hell in a Cell, TLC etc. They have enough concepts to make it a different show for the people watching at the arena and at home. Considering it's a 10 year deal, they'd have enough to work with.

I don't think 2 Rumbles a year is overkill at all. Granted I am a Royal Rumble mark so there may be some Bias there.. But I always find it frustrating that if you have a bad Rumble you have to wait 12 Months to see if they redeem themselves (Which they don't always) Only about 6 months away feels less of a wait so I welcome it ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) .
