Now for the Main Event.
The battle of entrances.



Around the Network

Getting the Team Aussie out the way is fine with me. Neither one of them is at the point where they could be champion. The real money is a singles match with Cross, and if Cross doesn't cheat to beat Asuka, then Ember Moon. Ember is the only one that could believably beat Asuka clean.

Seriously looked like they were trying to keep Asuka and Cross separated to protect them both and set them up for a one-on-one.



So how many seizures do you guys think were caused by Nakamura's entrance?



Well, 4 out of 5 ain't bad.



Awesome match, though!



Around the Network

So, with TakeOver: San Antonio out of the way. Now it's time to set sights on the Royal Rumble.

My predictions are as follows:

 

Pre-Show:

1. RAW Tag Team Championship 
Cesaro and Sheamus vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows

2. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax

3. Nikki Bella, Naomi, and Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and Natalya - with Naomi getting the pinfall win over Alexa Bliss.

Main Show
4. Cruiserweight Championship
Rich Swann vs. Neville 

5. RAW Women's Championship
Charlotte vs. Bayley

6. WWE Universal Championship
Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns, I think Jericho, whether by accident or on purpose, screws Kevin Owens out of the title, which leads to the real end of JericKO and sets up a match between them at WrestleMania.

7. WWE Championship
A.J. Styles vs. John Cena, if this match lives up to my expectations, we've got a Match of the Year candidate already! As much as I want A.J. to retain, and he SHOULD retain. I can't shake this feeling that John Cena is walking out of the Alamodome with #16.

8. The Royal Rumble Match
I honestly can't make a prediction with this one. Because I genuinely have no clue of who might win. So I'll just sit back and enjoy it.



1.5 for 1.5

I get an extra .5 for getting the finish right.



Ahh, the WrestleMania sign is back!



"What great moments do YOU Remember from the Rumble?"

Well, I remember in 2004, when Big Show was all by himself in the end and he eliminated himself from the match... But before he did, he was hanging from the top rope for a good 10-20 seconds, it was really weird.
Then he dumped himself out, and then "Whatever" from Our Lady Peace started playing.... It was really odd.



2.5 for 2.5.

About freaking time!!!
TOO SWEET!
