    Predictions:

    Greatest Royal 'fuck women' Rumble match: Boatman. I'd love it if Mark Henry won but that's not going to happen. The only other person I can see taking it is Daniel Bryan. Do we hate women? Yes! Yes! Yes!

    Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns - I have a feeling that Bork's new contract was only for this event. I think they wanted this to really sell the event (other than the Rumble ofc) so paid Bork for one more match. I'd hope so at least because as much as I hate Roman at least it means the Champion actually appears more than twice a month.

    Seth Rollins (c) vs. Finn Bálor vs. Samoa Joe vs. The Miz - I'd like Balor to win but I just can't see them making Rollins drop the title so quickly, even if the Backlash event wasn't set.

    A.J. Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - This is the one that I'm most unsure about but I think it's the right outcome. It sets things up for Backlash and I like heel champions.

    Jeff Hardy (c) vs. Jinder Mahal - I seriously hope they're not stupid enough to give it back to Jinder. Does feel like we could be getting a fairly long Hardy reign barring injuries/drugs though.

    The Deleter of Worlds (Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy) vs. The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus): Even if they weren't the only team on RAW they'd still win. Has to happen, yawn.

    The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) (c) vs. The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso): They've built them up to be MONSTERS for a while now, they're not going to lose it in their first defence sadly. Probably be a squash but I hope the titles go back to The Usos soon.

    Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Kalisto - Strange decision to have Kalisto as the challenger but they couldn't have Gulak winning the gauntlet as they can't have a Jew winning a title in Saudi Arabia and I feel he will be the next champion.

    John Cena vs. Triple H - Continues the sad sap John Cena story I guess.

    The Undertaker vs. Rusev - It's a shame they're going to bury Rusev in a PPV again but they can't have old man Taker losing a casket match at this.

    Most of the matches are painfully obvious, but I wouldn't bet against Jinder and Miz taking the belts to the opposite brands. Miz needs to be in position to win the IC title and get the record, rather than being stuck in the US title picture for a year.

    I don't get hating Reigns. Hate the booking? Absolutely. Want to root for Bork because you like people being annoyed more than you want WWE to be good again? That's fine too. But other than being a crap promo there's nowt wrong with him.

    Anyway, here's hoping WWE swerve everybody and give Saudi the finger by surprise replacing the whole thing with a female card. It'd be shit but fuck you, Saudi Arabia.

    Roman does also come across as a bit of a cunt outside the ring, so I can kind of understand it, but there is no sense in hating him just because of how Vince books him.

    I really want Brock to beat him again though.

    It's his limited moveset that annoys me most.

    It's just Samoan drop, superman punch, spear, repeat.

    Variety of moveset counts for fuck all. it's not how many moves you can do that matter but when you do them. By the time they got to some of their best matches the Rock and Austin were probably showing off about half the variety of moves they did when they were coming through. Roman isn't going to drag some mug to a world class match but nor is he the dead weight against a properly good opponent.

    Reigns is great when they do things that seem more him, like his world class promo on the Raw after beating the Undertaker. When they're trying desperately to make him seem like an underdog it's a losing battle. One of the main things about his big push to the top from the start was him fighting to get opportunities which would be great if they even tried to make it look convincing.

    But they (and others in similar situations) had so much more to them. They had actual presence and actual microphone skills.

    Reigns has nothing else to elevate him. Their push to make him THE GUY just doesn't work. They pushed him far too much.

    If he was a middle of the card guy or something he'd be fine.

    I also missed his shield days which were supposedly pretty damn good.

    He's crap on the mic and I'm not arguing he should be their main guy but there's nothing wrong with him as a main eventer, And if that looked like I was putting him at the level of Rock and Austin that absolutely wasn't my intention, merely that I think he's underrated in terms of his ability to help put a match together. Also his Spear is usually pretty crap and while it will never happen he could do with a new finisher, though I have no idea what that would be.

    Ignore what they're trying to make him be and watch his matches and you can see that he does understand how it works. It's the same with Bork he's frustrating in a totally different way. You should definitely go back and check out whichever of the big Shield matches you haven't seen because the heel days are an indicator of exactly what they should be having Reigns do now, being an unpleasant heel bully.

    I can't remember them all. The 6-man matches against the Wyatts and Evolution were all good as were the tag matches against the Rhodes family.

    EDIT: Speaking of crap promos, I thought Cass' delivery of his was decent it's just a shame that most of what he was saying made so little sense. Implying he's grew tall by sheer force of will to avoid bullying or whatever. Come on, mate.

    I saw a thing once saying the reason that Goldberg's Spear (is his the best?) is because he actually runs through it rather than stopping short to do a shit jump into it and I think it's right. I mean, presumably that came from him being a former gridiron-er but Reigns was too so he's got no excuse, really.

    Yeah, Goldberg's was just sublime. It's the one wrestling move I'd love to take. Maybe an Arn Spinebuster as well. Even with Goldberg, it's not a finisher which makes me wonder why Edge settled for it.

    Reigns is a pretty good in the ring. I'm not having that he's shit, despite the fact that I find his character dull. He's had some great matches over the last few years.

    I liked the Cass promo, yeah his delivery could use some work but it's nice to have a heel with some justification for a change. Shame it came a day after former mahogany scotchman Drew Galloway (Mcintyre?) gave a similar but far far better one.

    Greatest Royal Rumble: Strowman. I was going to joke about WWE reverting to type and getting all their terrorist characters back so the crowd have someone to cheer for, but it looks as though original Daivari's actually going to be there, so a few quid on Muhammad Hassan
    Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns - Same reasons as Mahow. NXT had a title change in that Japan show on the Network and they're putting a million times more into this, so either Reigns or Nakamura are winning I think
    Seth Rollins (c) vs. Finn Bálor vs. Samoa Joe vs. The Miz
    A.J. Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura - Nakamura to get himself disqualified by punching Styles in the dick past the count of 25
    Jeff Hardy (c) vs. Jinder Mahal
    The Deleter of Worlds (Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy) vs. The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus): Stick with the champions on their own shows rather than doing a draft and fucking it up within weeks by shifting everyone back again
    The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) (c) vs. The Usos (Jey and Jimmy Uso): Unless they smuggle in Naomi dressed as a man, in which case Usos
    Cedric Alexander (c) vs. Kalisto
    John Cena vs. Triple H
    The Undertaker vs. Rusev - You have to believe

    I'm expecting Undertaker v Rusev to be a carbon copy of the Cena match, but with him rolling Rusev into a casket at the end instead. I hope I'm wrong.
