Agreed. Funny it was actually being used on the Masked Singer in between performances at the same time that Dynamite was on.

Jade from Mortal Kombat II with the outfit and "Kiss of Death" was one of her moves, but there was also an escalation of how Jade kissed Anna Jay on the cheek in their match, kissed Tay on the forehead in the build up to this and then here, Jade kisses Tay to start while later Tay kisses Jade back before delivering her DDT. So it seemed all wrapped up there but they've been hyping up Jade's Kiss of Death ever since so may be part of her character now

Yes, he used the same "I will become a monster to fight the monsters of the world" line in both promos.

Love that Gisele theme! She's got star quality for sure

Huge fan of the Gail/Taryn feud. Their Slammiversary match was my favorite of that year and they had a pretty good ladder match on Impact after. Taryn looked like the next big superstar babyface for the women at the time, but all of her runs since then have been heel and she's fun at that too.

Shawn would be my guess. Him and Luger have long been my top picks for it. Sid having main evented Mania with Taker would make a good fit for this year. It would never happen, but Perry "Action" Jackson would be my pick from the GWF list since he and Taker have history, broke in around the same time and Taker's mentioned they are still friends today.

Cagematch.net would be my best recommendation for all results.

Judging from last year's, the tag team version doesn't do the whole 'deck of cards 'bit so there was no surprise.

Dustin has his own school, the Rhodes Wrestling Academy, in Austin TX. Personally sad to see Cody go, can't see a WWE return working out too well.

Josh Alexander's Impact contract has expired thus along with his US work VISA, so he is off all events he was scheduled for this month including the next Terminus event.

I'd give a shout to the latest Promotion Wars (PWremastered.com)

If by chance he was under an NXT deal since that's where he last worked, those had 30 day no competes (hence the infamous forgetting to update Malakai Black's contract when he moved up). If Joe had an NXT deal, it'd be up today, but yeah otherwise not until April 6 (which is also a Wednesday)

give us shane mcmahon. the hottest free agent on the market after this past week.

I wanted Lita to win the Rumble after the set up with her and Charlotte so I can dig this

Damn, no spot for Shane O in the actual Chamber match.

They count just Kane with 18 according to the "All About the Numbers" video as the record. Dolph Ziggler is #2, having been in 15 Rumbles.

Only 10 years for Wendi. She went in to the HOF in 2010 and then did a RAW Segment with Cyndi in 2012 during the build up to RAW 1000. Still probably true and I know I'd be one of very few but I would lose my shit for Wendi coming out to "She Bop"! Bad Bunny's got two tours lined up the rest of this year. He'll be doing 3 shows in Miami on WM weekend so this was just a one off. Knoxville's run is also said to be done as he was just around to promote the new Jackass movie which comes out this week.

SHANE O MAC~!!!!!!!! He avenged that terrible loss to Owens from 3 years ago! And he made the FINAL 3! We finally got a taste of Brock vs Shane that was teased at Summerslam 2016! Bad Bunny looked fantastic again.

our first surprise entrant, Ridge Holland

damn, no chance for AJ since Edge went from #1 last year.

the Lita esque diving rana from Maryse = awesome!

I'd go with AJ Styles as the only guy I could see being elevated to face Lashley at a WM right now. but yeah probably Brock

Agreed, I was thinking Big E was possibly winning the Rumble initially. PWInsider had reported that Woods was expected back this week, but I guess not.

They said there that Big E is "officially back on Smackdown". If so, that was quick.

Meltzer went 5 stars for Cody/Sammy
