So who's gonna be the poor schmuck who enters at number 3 and eliminated first and quickly? Apollo

Wonder if the fiend comes in at 3 or one of the low numbers. Seems likely to continue that feud. Better early than late in the match I guess I doubt he will be an official entry but more causing Orton to be eliminated like Kane was in 2004. Who should be the Spike Dudley of 2021? Leon Ruff would be cool.

Edge is definitely getting the, "Nap for 70% of the match then come back near the end," spot this year.

Oh Nattie won? I thought they were gonna have Tamina win and then the announcers would freak out of the idea of tamina coming out at 30 as who could ever throw her over.

Watching the By the Numbers video and I have to give them credit for how they rephrased the #1 statistic this year. Just saying that Michaels proved it was possible to win from it is way more natural-sounding than the, "It's been won from twice, including by Shawn Michaels," thing they've always used to sidestep Benoit before.
Also, given he's one of the more logical winners anyway, it feels pretty telling that besides bringing up Orton in relation to Austin's record, Bryan is the only guy they tease as the winner while they do a lot of it with the women.

So excited about the live thread and Royal Rumble tonight! Same here! I'm especially rooting for whoever's number 12 in the men's rumble and whoever's number 5 in the women's rumble Seriously though I've missed being on the live chats on Wednesday and Friday, I was just so goddamned tired lol.

Shotzi or Liv are the only gals I'm okay with eliminating Alexa Bliss, who I think wins the actual match. Give Iron Woman treatment to either of those gals!

Natalya vs. Tamina was hilarious add in on weird show that was Backstage and Talking Smack. Never have I feared #30 as much. LOL.
Talk between DB and Heyman made me think for a while that he wins the Rumble, instead of it being The Fiend - who I think eliminates both Orton and Edge and goes on to face Roman Reigns @ WrestleMania.

Bold choice for the men's Rumble having 45 minutes before the #3 entrant.

Revealing numbers 1, 2 and 30 isn't that shocking really. If they wanted to truly surprise us, they'd reveal who was going to be number 17 or number 22.

In 2017 they revealed the news that Sami Zayn was...number 8. It was funny but then number 7 cleans house - its Braun - and on social media suddenly folk were going "Oh shit, Sami's next!" so it worked too! Especially when Zayn bucked the odds and lasted 45 mins!

It's a cliche they adhere waaaaay too strictly to, but at least in isolation the pointing at the sign thing kinda works normally. It is going to look dumb as all hell in an empty building.

I won't get my hopes up, but there's potential for some interesting storytelling in the women's Rumble tonight with Billie/Peyton/Riott Squad if Billie's a participant and Sonya/Mandy/Dana if Sonya's also in.

The Rumble is the one show I'm committed to watching each year and I re-subscribed to the network last night. I already watched the women's roundtable on the 2018 match and the AJ doc on his debut. Money well spent.

I was in a call on UrinatingTree's Discord and one of the guys has for his bold prediction: surprise entrant Jay White.
I told him I'm not gonna have my hopes up for that but if "Switchblade" pulls an AJ Styles....

Also, newLEGACYinc did their sim for the event and Natalya won the Women's Rumble after the game crashed on Peyton Royce's entrance (and Dakota Kai's sub!) and Jeff Hardy took the Men's.

#27, it's been 20 years since you pulled your weight around here. If you don't do it either time tonight we might need to reevaulate your place around here. #30, #19, and #28 have been pulling the load a lot more lately.

Hell, #14 finally broke the stigma of being the cursed pick, Ambrose leaving to return to Moxley aside.
