I would think the Rumble will be won by Cody Rhodes is he ready....right?

 

He declared for the Rumble last week and he's the obvious pick with how they set it up before his injury. Question is, if they're wanting to split the belts (which has been rumored), which route does Cody take?

Depending what happens tonight, the crowd would pop huge for Sami winning the Rumble. They're setting him up for an underdog push like Kofimania or the Yes Movement.

 

Ah, I missed Rhodes declaring that he was is.

Have to wonder why they had him annouce, actually, so soon before the event. If he had run in without any announcement, I imagine it would have been a giant pop.

 

i think hell still get a huge pop. The whole build with the vignettes reminds me of HHH’s original torn quad return. He wasnt a “surprise” at MSG and still got maybe the biggest ovation of the Attitude era. On the short list anyway

 

It would have been a big pop, but his big surprise pop just happened at WM. Two surprises in nine months is a bit of overkill.

 

LOL, Hogan’s mic kept cutting out.

 

Great montage. They even showed Jericho’s debut and Bryan’s Yes Movement takeover; but no Pipe Bomb.

 

They have regular ring posts instead of the LED wrap, and it looks like there's just the regular apron around the ring instead of the boards.

Makes me think some shenanigans with the ring are coming.

 

Heyman: BRRROCK …. PURDY!

 

Gotta go extra to make Philly boo Heyman.

 

His line about wishing Sami to be as dead as ECW was harsh.

 

That entire segment was amazing. So many layers to this story.
