Still plenty of spots in (maybe the last?) FAN Rumble Pools, if anybody wants to join.

Assuming rumours are true, will this now be "The Greatest Royal Rumble" 2023?

I feel REALLY bad for LA Knight now. All he's ever needed was a fair shot at being "Eli Drake in WWE", and he was finally getting it. You could tell he knew this was his shot, and he was bringing it (hah!). He was making this feud with Bray really work, and was starting to get that spotlight, and impress people who had never seen him like this before...and now it's probably all going to be pissed away. Then you have Bray who, by all accounts, was treated like trash by Vince, and bullied verbally by him...... *sigh*

Past that though, who the hell knows.

Assuming rumours are true, will this now be "The Greatest Royal Rumble" 2023? Greater than or equal to 17 Royal Rumbles! Although I do think it would be fun to have a Rumble where the number of entrants is unknown and we end up getting to like the 70th person coming down and people are like "the hell is even going on anymore?"

There was that unconfirmed rumor the other day that Vince may appear at this fiasco. This next stretch going to be insufferable until we know which way everything is going.

Any chance we get an Elias/Ezekiel comedy spot in the match? Elias enters early gets tossed. Goes back to shave and Ezekiel enters somewhere in the 20's.

It kinda sucks because this show still has the potential to be pretty good and itβs just going to be overshadowed by everything else.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} Feels like the next step in the Beth/Rhea saga is ahead, then. At the very least, it's a very rare female legend story with a long-term build. (Charlotte/Trish was a great match but had virtually no build, and Becky/Lita was only over a few weeks too while this one's been teased since August.)

It's only a couple weekends away and the only entrants confirmed for the men's are Kofi Kingston, Santos Escobar, Ricochet, Austin Theory, Bobby Lashley, and Seth Rollins. The women's side only has Liv Morgan, Candice LeRae, and Rhea Ripley.
That's kind of concerning.

Just checking the pulse of the FAN nation here. After this show, are people going to check out until Wrestlemania?

The booking has gotten lazy, but to be fair, H is probably stressed with other things at the time and the booking suffers.

Can't think of which ones right now, but I'm sure that there have been years where only a handful were announced as for sure in the match. I mean, 2001's the only for sure ins we had were the 5 the video package covered IIRC (Austin, Rock, Taker, Kane and Rikishi)
