WWE: GDT: Royal Rumble 2025

She is the most over today because everyone is happy to see her back when it was unknown that she ever would return. But it’s not a mistake that business has been better when they got to the point where you simply aren’t on the main roster if you can’t work. There’s very few exceptions, like Maxxine or B-Fab. Character work isn’t going to save people from having bad matches.

Bliss was hardly working matches prior to leaving and was still arguably a top-3 most over female on the roster. Bray or no Bray, the woman is over and connects in a way with fans most women dream of.

If they even thought that, she would’ve been at the press conference last night. And she should have been. I think you also forget what she was doing before she left.

Charlotte winning is such trash. Sooo many talented women.

Idk what theyre gonna do with the universal or world title

Definitely didn't forget what she was doing before she left.

WWE still likes surprise appearances from time to time. No reason to spoil the biggest surprise of the night for the women's rumble for a press conference.

Huh? The press conference is after the show

Good thing WWE doesn't cater to you, otherwise they'd be out of business.

LOL… “cater to me”. Yes, I’m deeply concerned about their business

According to Fightful, Bliss took Shotzi's spot at 21

Roxanne basically confirming she's moving to the main roster (soon?):

Stroman picking up Fatu and throwing him out was kinda wild.
Would have expected something more.

My initial reaction to the graphic at the bottom of the screen during the Rumble matches was negative. I came around to not mind it however it should have been lower on the screen. The bottom half of the graphic wasn't used so erase it and move the graphic lower so less of the screen is blocked. Other than that I could live with the information it provided and the countdown appearing there.

Yeah the info graphic was a good idea for the Rumble but could use some tweaking in size for next year. IIRC, TKO/Endeavor said they want to treat WWE "more like a real sport", I think when it comes to presentation of the product and bringing up stats is a good thing. I like that instead of continuous recap videos on Raw and Smackdown, they're putting "Previously: wrestler X defeated wrestler Y " type of notification screens in the bottom left of the screen. I like where they seem to be going with that sort of things.

I would have figured the other way around to make him look like a beast

Watched it tonight and approved of it overall.

Gunther/Uso seems like a lock for wrestlemania with a ton of options for the second slot to be hashed out at Elimination Chamber. I think Zayn or Owens wins the belt there and end up facing each other at wrestlemania in the other main event.

If not, it will revolve around the Punk/Heyman/Reigns storyline. Probably with Rollins as champion.

And we still don't know what favor Heyman owes Punk.
