Charlotte Flair cleans house and gives this reaction when the clock hits :00 and Becky (who she costs the Women's Title earlier) comes out




Will make my other predictions later, when I give them some more thought.

First and second entrants: I’m hoping for Jeff Hardy and Goldust because then that would mean every rumble since 2001 would have had at least one person that was the #1 or #2 entrant in that rumble that was also a #1 or #2 in another Rumble (before or after).

I highly doubt D’Lo will ever be in another rumble and sadly Grandmaster Sexay has passed away.
