MEN’S RUMBLE TIME, REIGNS VS. KO, WE MAY HAVE THE WORST 24-7 CHAMPION EVER, THE WOMEN SET A HIGH BAR FOR THE MEN, NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN BAD BUNNY I NEVER NEED TO DO THAT AGAIN, SASHA DEFENDS AGAINST MELLA, DREW MAC AND GOLDBERG OPEN THE SHOW - ONGOING ROYAL RUMBLE BLOG

Bianca Belair is out at number three.  I expect a good run for her.  At four is Billie Kay.  I do NOT expect a long run for her.  She came out and joined commentary so she may get a longer run than I expected.  She said she is going to wait for a partner she can enter with.  That probably means one of the Riott Squad toss her immediately.  Number 5 is Shotzi Blackheart.  She has the tank!  Billie thought they could be friends.  She must not watch NXT because Shotzi fired a round from the tank at her.

Shayna Baszler came out at 6.  Billie thinks they could be friends.  Uh, no.  Looking at the ring, damn NXT has developed some great talent.  Number 7 is Toni Storm.  Like I was saying about NXT….Toni doesn’t want to work with Billie either.  No one is eliminated yet.  And just then, she messed with Baszler and out she went.  Number 8 is Jillian Hall.  JEEZ.  I did not miss her song!  Will she want to team with Billie?  And be Billie and Billie?  Yes!  She has a friend.

Number 9 is Ruby Riott.  Billie helped Ruby against Storm.  Ruby isn’t interested in teaming.  Number 10 is Victoria.  She came in and cleaned house.  Number 11 is Peyton Royce.  It has to be cool for her and Billie to get to work together again.  And on cue they worked together on Victoria.  Peyton called Iiconic but Billie didn’t join her.  Number 12 is Santana Garrett.  Her Wonder Woman look is cool.  She can move and she is showing people that when she hit the ring.

At 13 Ruby gets her partner, Liv Morgan.  Jillian just turned on her partner.  But Billie dumped her.  Then The Riott Squad dumped Billie.  At 14 Rhea Ripley is out and it just got real.  She has a star presence and entrance.  She came in and cleaned house.  Out goes Toni Storm. Rhea waved goodbye to her.  Shayna locked on the Clutch and dumped Victoria to the floor.  Rhea took out Garrett.  15 is Charlotte Flair.  Charlotte is full of fire.  Bayley took out Ruby.  At 16 is Dana Brooke.  My advice avoid Nia Jax for your own health. Royce saved Bayley and eliminated Liv.  17 is Torrie Wilson.  She got a lot in.  Dana should have avoided Rhea.  Powerbomb on the apron and out, and it looked stiff. 18 had Ric Flair bring out Lacey Evans.  She has his robe on.  Charlotte is not happy.  Lacey turned her back on Charlotte.  Bad move.  Charlotte attacked her and they are fighting on the floor, but still in the match.  Charlotte eliminated Royce on her way in and Peyton’s leg got caught.  Hope she is OK.  Shayna eliminated Torrie.  Bianca tossed Bayley.  19 has Mickie James enters the fray.

Mickie stepped right up to Charlotte and they faced off.  At 20 is Nikki Cross.  21 is Alicia Fox.  R-Truth follows her.  Alicia wants her to go away.  He is being chased.  Fox is helping him then turned on him and won the 24-7 Title.  Uh, OK.  Mandy Rose is at 22.  She eliminated Fox and then Truth pinned Alicia and got the Title back.  This has been a really good match and that was not needed.  23 is Dakota Kai.  Evans eliminated James.  Mella is out with Reggie.  Rhea eliminated Dakota, then Mandy Rose.  Mella got tossed but Reggie caught her so she didn’t hit the floor.  She tossed Nikki and eliminated her.  Tamina is at 25.  Mella tried to help Reggie when Tamina came out and eliminated herself.  Tamina wants to face off with Rhea and away they go.  Naomi went to the floor and landed on her butt.  The feet didn’t touch.  She grabbed Bianca’s hair and they both were on their way out so they worked together to come back in.  Lana is 26.

At 27 we got Alexa Bliss.  Oh, I hope they don’t do any video junk here.  It’s not the place for it.  She went after people right away so people teamed up on her to stop the transformation but damn, it didn’t work.  Yes it did!  As she was turning into Abigail, Rhea dumped her.  At 28 we got Ember Moon.  29, out comes Nia Jax.  Shayna was on the floor so Nia shook hands with her and in they went to work.  Shyana dumped Evans.  Nia dumped Moon.  They both dumped Naomi.  She went long.  Nia said she can’t hit Tamina, she’s family. So Shayna did and then Nia turned on her, out goes Tamina.  So Nia and Shayna then faced off.  And with her back turned, Nia tossed her partner.  Lana attacked Nia.  Lana ran away and Nia chased her.  Lana got Nia to run at her and she pulled down the ropes, Nia is out by Lana!  Natalya came out at 30.  Nia and Shayna attacked Nattie on the way to the ring and then they went in and attacked the people that were still legal.  Everyone is down now.  Nattie pretended to be friends with Lana, then dumped her.  Natty thought she had Rhea but Bianca dumped her.  It’s Bianca, Rhea and Charlotte.

Rhea had Charlotte teetering.  Bianca joined her and they dumped the Queen.  Rhea tried to dump her but then they came to a lets fight this fairly deal  And that is how it will be.   There is a This Is Awesome chant.  I agree.  They went at it and at the end she dumped Rhea to get the win.  Bianca wins the Rumble setting a record of 56:49.  Wow, awesome!  Great match.  So much talent.

Bianca did a really emotional interview after winning.  And then she pointed to the sign.  It’s that time of year.  Then we got pyro and she pointed at the sign again.  Good stuff.

The Miz wants Bad Bunny to be his friend.  GI Bro disagrees.  Says get lost.  Then we did a recap segment and for some reason Peter Rosenberg beat R Truth for the 24-7 title.  Sonia is confused.  JBL says this may be the worst event in wrestling history.  I agree.

Roman Reigns defends The Universal Title against Kevin Owens next.
