They just did a Sasha Banks-Mania promo.  It makes me wonder if they planned for her to win the Rumble.  Otherwise, what is the point of this?  Let’s do promo packages for everyone who didn’t win their Rumble.

Oh and in case you didn’t know, WWE is going to Saudi Arabia for the Elimination Chamber.  I bet you all can’t wait for a show from that fun place.

WWE is honoring a war hero.  Props to them for that.

We are opening with AJ Styles at 1 and Shinsuke Nakamura at 2.  Austin Theory is in at 3.  Robert Roode is in at 4.  Roode faced off with AJ and the fans chanted TNA.  Vince has to love that.  Dixie Carter does, no doubt.  AJ eliminated Roode in the time it took for me to type that.  Ridge Holland comes out at 5.  AJ took out Nakamura.  6 is Montez Ford.  Damian Priest gets number 7.  Sami Zayn is 8.  Johnny Knoxville will follow soon.  Yep, at number nine.  Sami got to eliminate him.  Then AJ dumped Sami.  Angelo Dawkins is 10.  At 11, Omos A Wrestler.  He should clean some house.  Dawkins is first.  Then Montez.  Ricochet comes out at 12.  Omos lays him out.  Chad Gable is 13.  Gable has a plan.  He wants everyone to go after Omas.  Priest goes first and gets eliminated.  He looks like a dope because he told Gable to shut up first, then got himself eliminated.  As Dom Mysterio came out, ever.yone ganged up on Omas and AJ eliminated him.  Happy Corbin is the last one of the first 15.  He eliminated Ricochet when Ric flew a little too much.

Dolph Ziggler starts the second half.  The crowd is looking for something to cheer for.  Happy tossed Dom.  AJ got rid of Theory.  Sheamus came out at 17 and as he got there Ridge got thrown at him, I think by AJ.  Sheamus is not happy about that.  18 is Boogs,  He dumped Gable.  19 Moss is 19.  Cole just asked, What happens if gets down to Happy and Madcap?  The fact that he can ask that is testament to how bad this company is at creating characters that people care about.

Madcap eliminated AJ.  WTF.  Seriously.  Here comes Riddle at 20.  Fans are chanting Bro.  Happy and Moss eliminated Boogs.  Drew Mac is back, at 21.  Hmm, someone who could actually win this thing, finally.  He dusted Moss and Corbin quickly.  Thank you Drew.  He went to the floor and destroyed the happy folks with the stairs.  KO comes out at 22.  He and Drew fought on the floor, then back into the ring.  KO on fire.  And the fans are popping for him.  Rey Mysterio is next.  Booyaka.

At 24 we have Kofi.  He doesn’t have a lot of time to do his ridiculous “I didn’t get eliminated only to get eliminated a minute later” spot.  Right off the bat KO pushed him off the top and both feet hit the floor.  I wonder if that was planned.  He clearly hit the floor.  At 25 we get Otis.

Big E comes out at 26.  At 27, Bad Bunny.  He ain’t winning he has a tour starting soon.  he didn’t get the pop I expected.  Then again, these fans have sit through a lot already,  Sheamus went for a Brogue on Bunny and eliminated himself.  Bunny tossed Ziggler and went to toss Rey when out came Shano Mac.  Let the water flow!  Otis dusted Rey.

Shano went right after KO and eliminated him and, I have to say it, he;’s already got a heavy sweat going.  29 and 30 left.  Randy and….Brock Lesnar I bet.

Randy comes out at 29.  Angry Brock has to be 30, to then fight Reigns at Mania.  Or Shane could win and fight everyone.  Randy and Riddle toss Big E.  That’s sad.  RKBro tossed Otis.  RKBro, Drew, Shane and Bunny are left as in the final spot out comes Brock.

Brock dusts Orton.  Now he faces Bunny, who looks a bit scared.  F5 on Bunny.  See ya dude.  Out he goes.  Sweat tried to attack Brock,  Mistake.  Out goes Riddle by Brock.  And then Shane.  It’s Drew and Brock, old times.

Lesnar got Drew up in F5 position and dumped Drew to the floor.  I don’t see fans going nuts.  Brock points at the sign to try and remind them they should pop.  Fireworks go off.  Brock goes up on the ropes and gets a bit of a pop.  Not what WWE expected I am sure.  Four hours into a flat show, they really shouldn’t;’t have expected more.  Good luck selling all of those tickets at Mania.

That was a long show and it felt like it.  Oh well, maybe it will get better before Mania.

Thanks for reading.
