Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley goes down at the Royal Rumble: Wrestling Observer Radio

yeah i was gonna call him out but it was Shibata's return...WORTHY of the interruption

This show already has 5 matches booked while last year’s show only had 5 in total on main card. This is also the first time where the show starts at 8 ET during the “two rumbles” era.

[@Anxomaxo]

Nothing like tuning to a random wwe related video and getting spoiler for WK, and one of the main draws. Thank you so much Dave

Bruh Did u really think ren narita would have beaten shibata in his return match after 4 yrs cmon bruh It's his return match ffs

@@reubenelite bruh, did you think i was a seer to guess that the mistery opponent for Shibata was Ren Narita?

@@Anxomaxo not what i expected but in hindsight it was a good move Shibata needed someone to dominate He had a great match and elevated narita in defeat As well as ren having his first great big tokyo dome moment

WWE really is obsessed with doing Miz/Maryse relationship issues. Guess Miz never listened to Rick Rude and Randy Savage about never involving your significant other in the wrestling business and booking your own divorce.

Lashley will beat brock thanks to Roman. Lesnar & Roman at Wrestlemania Big E will win the Rumble and go on to face Lashley. (Lashley would have won the Rumble had they not had to change plans) Seth vs KO at Mania too (one will eliminate the other in the Rumble) That's my thoughts

[@BmanTheChamp]

That would be the logical order of things, but WWE does not operate on logic.

[@dariusfrink5360]

Just hope they don't bury Lashley give him a legit showing the way they do for Roman.

[@Salesman]

See this is what I am afraid of. I know lashley is not looked at as the big super monster like Lesnar or Goldberg by the wwe fanbase, but he is just as physically big and athletic as those two and can be as dominating. This is a new match and I really hope they just don't bury him.
