    The Royal Rumble is the official start of what WWE calls the “Road to WrestleMania.” The winner of the Royal Rumble match itself can choose to challenge for either the WWE World Championship or the WWE Universal Championship, the former exclusive to SmackDown and the latter to RAW.

    The Rumble is one of WWE’s “Big Four” events, and will begin at a special start time of 7 p.m. ET. The pre-show kicks off even earlier, at 5 p.m. ET on the WWE Network, and will include multiple matches not on the main card.

    The full 2017 Royal Rumble card
    Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax (pre-show match)

    RAW Tag Team Championship Match: Cesaro and Sheamus vs. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows (pre-show match)

    Six-Woman Tag Team Match: Nikki Bella, Becky Lynch, and Naomi vs. Natalya, Mickie James, and Alexa Bliss (pre-show match)

    WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match: Neville vs. Rich Swann (c)

    RAW Women’s Championship Match: Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair (c)

    WWE Universal Championship Match: Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens (c), No Disqualification, and Chris Jericho is suspended above the ring in a shark cage

    WWE World Championship Match: John Cena vs. AJ Styles (c)

    Hyped as f--- for this, the rumble's my favorite PPV of the year and this year it's fairly unpredictable as to who wins, plus being in front of 60k people should make for a fun event..Unfortunately I gotta work tonight so I'll be watching this like 8 hours after the rest of you, but gonna do everything possible to avoid spoilers, doubt it'll be an issue..But d--- I'll be pissed if I somehow find out.

    Hope everyone enjoys the show, should be a good one.

    Gonna watch some of the pre-show before I go to work though, can't believe it starts in 10 mins already lol. There's some decent matches on there too.

    Think Jericho's gonna be yelling 'advice' or something at Owens late in the match tonight and that'll be the distraction that leads to Reigns winning the match and the title..Then it'll set up the Owens/Jericho feud.

    Hope I'm wrong cuz I can't stand the thought of another title reign for Roman, but seems like the most likely scenario right now.

    Hopefully wwe surprises us and they don't let Reigns get the title. They have to see the majority of fans don't like the guy even after all this pushing so I'd find it hard to have him headline wrestlemania after how stacked the roster is atm. There were a lot of injuries around Wrestlemania last year so having Reigns headline then was understandable.

    I dream that one day Koolo is feeling really generous and flies us out to a Wrestlemania. Random, but just a side thought.

    None of the 'big 4' (Taker, Brock, Goldberg, Braun) will win imo.
