Did the shield even reunite, though? Did they? They had like... one match? And a lot of hype and build-up, but then also a lot of misfortune. And now, who knows?
Also Brock Lesnar is terrible and Paul Heyman deserves better. |

Omanyte Sez: Ready to Rumble!
This year is shaping up to be a very interesting Rumble, as we really don't have a clear winner set up for either the men's or women's match. On the women's side it would be fairly easy to just give the win to Asuka, but at the same time she really doesn't need the push or the acclaim that the "first winner of the women's rumble" will receive. Asuka can be given a title match whenever, because she's Asuka and she's over as hell. So give me Becky Lynch to win the rumble from the Smackdown side and set up a potentially awesome match with Charlotte for Mania.
On the men's side things are weird because, for one reason or another, a bunch of the potential Rumble favorites are a bit preoccupied to take on the role as #1 contender for Mania. Seth Rollins is doing the tag thing with Jordan, and that storyline has a ways to go so he's likely out. Ditto for Finn Balor, who has only just reunited with the Bullet Club. Ambrose and Joe are out with injuries, while Braun is facing Brock Lesnar in a "See who can pin Kane first" match for the title. Heel wise, HHH has been potentially earmarked for Braun thanks to their Survivor Series drama, Bray is dealing with the deLIGHTful Woken Hardy and Sami and KO are in a title match as well. So that leaves us with Cena, who would be roundly booed, but would potentially set up another classic against AJ Styles for his record breaking 17th title win. Nakamura is another potential favorite, as he oozes charisma and could put on the match of the night with any of the Styles/KO/Zayn triumvirate. Roman Reigns is the elephant in the room because on the one hand it's widely known that Vince wants him to get the rub from slaying Lesnar at Mania, but on the other hand the Rumble is in Philadelphia, the site of Roman's previous Rumble "triumph" which resulted in one of the most popular wrestlers of all time being booed out of the building for raising his cousin's hand. I don't think that even Vince is stubborn/dumb enough to repeat that, so here we are with a match without a favorite. Give me Nakamura to win I guess, but I have no confidence in that pick.

Ah yes, that was actually pretty well done by the 'E I thought. The only possible way to get Orton winning a Rumble cheered.

If you haven't seen HHH and Steph and New Day doing a Lip Sync Battle on Fallon, go watch it. Like, now. You will not be disappointed.

25th anniversary LET'S GO.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND PLUS IN ATTENDANCE. Steph and Shane both came out to Shane's music which is super weird to me. Historical montage actually well choreographed. Remember when Jericho was buff? Come back CM Punk. ;^; Oh my God she's bringing out Vince, isn't she? Oh God she is. Not surprising, but somehow so disappointing. I just saw a Rock & Sock shirt in the audience! Yooooo, a Roman Reigns sign. Vince opening the 25th Anniversary with dickery and ungratefulness is...I don't even know. "Asshole," chants the crowd. OH SHIT STONE COLD. IS HE GONNA PUNCH VINCE, PLEASE TELL ME HE PUNCHES VINCE. "I'm a member of AARP now." Jesus he offers his son up to the wolves. I think Vince just poured beer all over his downed son??? AAAAAAAND STUNNED. Stone Cold must smell TERRIBLE. Like stale beer. First commercial break! I'm getting pizza pockets.

We return.
Michie James' ring gear gives me life. 4 v 4 women's tag team match went to shit quickly. Jesus another commercial already??? Alicia Fox with the bridge. Yas queen yas. Oh my god, another commercial. Foxx taps. ASUKA GOES ROGUE. I REPEAT, ASUKA HAS GONE ROGUE. I don't know who these people are. My n00b is showing. THOSE WERE LIVE WORMS. Commercial. More pizza rolls.

Jim Ross' hat game is on point.
Undertaker montage. O: U-N-D-E-R-T-A-K-E-R. ...I think he might be wearing a wig. "One more match," they chant. Please no. Let a dead man rest. Commercial. I KNOW HIM, THAT'S DIBIASE. Whoa I'm gonna start watching NXT just for the GM. Oh hey DB makes an appearance. HERE COMES THE MIZ TO RUIN THINGS. What is this black parade shit he's wearing? ROOOOOOOOOOMAN. COME ON LET'S DO THIS MOTHERFUCKERS. One of the signs says "Sweat on me, Roman." What is wrong with you people? Miz looks so much better now that he's cut his fuck-awful hair. Oh I love it when Roman's angry. He makes such a weird face mid-Superman Punch. Bo Dallas has such pretty hair. "Let's go Roman!" "Roman sucks!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. HE REMOVED THE PADDING ON THE TURNBUCKLE. MIZ YOU WORTHLESS FUCK. Commercial. Going to drown my sorrows in RC Cola.

Reminder that if Roman doesn't have the IC there's a possibility for Rollins to kick the worthless turd that is JJ to the curb

We're back.
Random Uso is random. I continue to be angry that Roman lost the championship. Seth and JJ now. This should be fun. The Bar arrives to put an end to JJ's desperate self-aggrandizing. Sheamus has a Mighty Boosh and a Pickle Rick patch on his jacket. Where did Seth's belt go??? Whoooooooo! Charlotte is best Flair. Sorry not sorry. The 90s were a black abyss of blonde dudes in trunks. Poor Heath Slater. BRAY WYATT. Wait. Does this mean Woken Hardy is- Oh God. Please no. (I'll concede, I love his ring gear.) I fucking hate Woken Hardy, I don't understand what you people see in this nonsense. At least Bray won.

First I marked out because I thought AJ was going to bring out Funaki (Smackdown Announcer #1!) to interview.
Then I was mollified that it was Mean Gene. Then I was hyped because AJ did a Hulk Hogan impression and it was great.

JERICHO
Look at that headband. That is a very masculine headband. I love Elias and I will fite u ppl. "JOHN CENA SUCKS." Elias gets him right in the balls. I think this is the first time I've heard Elias' theme music??? This last hour has started off weak. Heath Slater storming out through a door that has no walls was A+ tho. Oh look it's Mark Henry. I feel like I should care about Titus Worldwide but I don't??? Oh jeez v Rhyno & Slater. This is hella jobby for the 25th anniversary. Commercial. Dudley Boyz. Yay? I don't go here. I have not seen Renee Young at all tonight. So many SmackDown cameos... MEAN GENE OAKERLAND. He neither looks nor sounds mean. KAMI? KAMI?! Sami Zayn is a homewrecker.

It looks like we're closing out with Degeneration X.
I have no commentary, DX was before my time. New Age Outlaws. I continue to be out of my element. This is probably really cool for the old guard fans??? RAZOR RAMON. That is a face I recognize. BALOR CLUB. Also people I know. Aaaand more people I don't. The Revival? Oh, they're NXT, evidently. I really should watch NXT... That ended so poorly for the Revival. Kurt Angle finally makes an appearance! This episode is running long. Yay, Paul Heyman! Boo, Brock Lesnar. Does anyone actually care about Braun/Brock/Kane? Because I don't. Oops it's over. 6/10, needed more Jericho. Night fam.
