    Do it on the side with the ramp.

    Probably as a result of NXT shifting to the CW and the NXT library being taken off Peacock (sans PLE's), WWE has starting putting up all the past NXT content on YouTube.

    Starting with the very first episode of NXT in 2012, with Jim Ross and William Regal on commentary, and a Coming Soon video for a new act ... Bray Wyatt.

    With the Rumble on Saturday, what are the predictions?

    Men's winner: Cena
    Surprise entrant: still leaning towards Joe Hendry, and especially since he's now the champ. Praying that they don't waste a spot on one of these social media goofs they keep advertising.

    Women's winner: Charlotte (ugh)
    Surprise entrant: Jordynne Grace's official WWE debut, and/or the return of Lynch or Bliss

    In some real cowboy shit, Hanger deleted his instagram. Called it a “fascist platform.”

    Hero.

    Thought this was an issue with the broadcast feed, but looks like it was planned for something.

    I like Rollins or McIntyre for a twist, feels like the road to Mania will be winding this year. I like Cena too but I think he gets it at the Chamber not here

    Women’s is really hard to call. I think Flair/Stratton’s the Mania match and Ripley has no obvious opponent, would be better to build that with a Rumble win, but if they dunno who it is yet maybe they have to go Charlotte.

    Who else is even a contender? Bel air? Another surprise like Lynch or Nikki Bella?

    For as deep as the division is (especially in nxt) its kinda shallow in terms of “this person can main event Wrestlemania with Rhea”

    Obviously, there's a little bit of awkwardness of being the headliner as he's the man in charge of the company. He's still pretty warranted on top of the group induction with DX, but should it have waited some more?

    I don't think so. If anything it's overdue. He's going to be an executive for a long time, so if you try to wait until he's not in charge, it could be a long time.

    Was also thinking about how recent the DX induction was in 2019, but it wouldn't be much worse than any other two-timers.

    Flair: 4 years
    Hogan: 15 years
    Nash: 6 years
    Hall: 7 years
    Waltman: 2 years
    Bret: 13 years
    Booker T: 6 years
    Windham: 12 years

    Certainly and most likely could be a red herring, but...

    The AEW refs are morons, and one of the strongest men in the business (Claudio) needed two other guys' help to beat 57-year-old Jeff Jarrett.
