The past three years in a row the men and women's winners have entered within two spots of each other. Really hoping they mix it up this time.

They've also been awful for years with stacking 20-30 (and especially 25-30) with their obvious main-eventers. At least TRY to give it the feeling of a random draw, folks.

Last year they kind of did with Otis as I think he got a number somewhere in the mid 20's. Then they had him get eliminated right before #30 came out which annoyed me. I liked it too when mid rando's would be in there at the end too as it made it more unpredictable. I don't get why they don't it more in that it's like it's harming any of the top guys. It's not like they have to eliminate anyone or anything. Just if there to the like the last six or something window dressing and then get tossed. |

I just hate it when the people who drew number 1 and 2 are people who've previously done so.

I want to see someone like Otis come in with an early number and last until the final 5 or so with the announcers going crazy for him and making it actually seem like he has a shot. There's so many things that they could do with the Rumble to give everyone some shine and they usually go the laziest possible route. Hopefully there's no Vinsanity involved as I'd like to see how HHH and his crew would actually structure/book a Rumble.

I want a surprise winner. Somebody who hasn't been built up or even suggested. Somebody like Bron Breakker or GUNTHER.
GUNTHER vs Roman and Imperium vs Usos would make sense too.

I just hate it when the people who drew number 1 and 2 are people who've previously done so. For the sake of it, here are the people on the current roster who have started Royal Rumbles: AJ Styles (injured) Brock Lesnar Dolph Ziggler Edge Elias Finn Balor The Miz Randy Orton (injured) Rey Mysterio Roman Reigns (reigning champion) R-Truth (injured) Seth Rollins Shinsuke Nakamura --- Alexa Bliss (title challenger) Bayley Becky Lynch Bianca Belair (reigning champion) Lacey Evans Naomi (inactive for months) Natalya (injured) |

That said, I fully expect Bayley and Lynch to start the Women’s one for many reasons. One, two veterans that can keep the match organised with all the people coming in and out. Two, an established feud that can start the match hot. And three, probably most important, as a makegood for their cage match not happening, a big long shift in the Rumble for the two of them.

I'm guessing you were raging from 2010 to 2015 considering who got number 1 those years. 2010: Dolph Ziggler 2011: CM Punk 2012: The Miz 2013: Dolph Ziggler 2014. CM Punk 2015: The Miz That is kind of freaky to be honest. Makes me wonder if they knew and just continued the pattern for laughs. |

So Becky and Bayley like an opening batting partnership in cricket ? |

He was in the 2012 one, was in there like 45 minutes. It's really weird since he and Cody are both in there like the entire time and for a lot of it are the only ones really doing anything but then they both get tossed at the same time by Big Show soon as he comes out at #30 and he's eliminated like a minute later anyway. Really might as well have had one of them make it to the final four. |

The record stop intro was so underrated. I'm pretty sure I hated on it too lmao. |

What if someone came out at a made up warpzone number? Michael Cole just like and this next entrant is #Dog and oh wow it's Bron Fish Killer.

They did that with Drew in 2020. Him elim8nating Brock Lesnar ( was booked like a player setting the Royal Rumble match on Easy), MADE him. |

Thing is they also probably want both Becky and Bayley to be there at the end. Meaning they would both have to go about an hour each. Also it's a Rumble that's light on star power and other then those two all you really have is Rhea and Asuka (assuming she's in) for main eventers in the match with Charlotte, Ronda, Alexa, and Bianca (for now anyways) not being in it. They have to save at least some heavy hitters for late draws as that's something they always do. I'm guessing Bayley comes in somewhere in the middle and Becky enters late likely somewhere around the mid 20's. |

My gut feeling is Becky enters about 18/19 after Damage Control whittle the field down to just them and one babyface they can beat up - Asuka? Liv? Someone the crowd like.
Rhea in about 19-22.
Mens side, I have a strong feeling Kross is 1 or 2. Because his entrance is tailor made for long ass number 1 or 2 coming to the ring. Also I dont think he has the ability to iron man the match. A "surprise" exit long before then.
Both Rumbles had late winners last year so I'm thinking early-ish in one of them to mix it up.
