Update on the friend(s). I got them to watch the Rumbles. They liked them. I now have to watch a Tyler Perry movie. The things I do for this website.
Anyway. TLC 2016 was (at the time of this writing) yesterday. Many things happened. Bray Wyatt won his first championship belt in the company while Randy Orton won like his 1,000,000. Alexa Bliss (Blue Harley Quinn) nonchalantly won her Womens Championships from Beck Lynch in a botch filled match. James Ellsworth was evil.
Okay that last one is one I want to talk about. Ellsworth turning on Dean Ambrose and letting AJ Styles win the belt makes me think what WWE has got in store for the Road to Wrestlemania. Right now 3 predominant rumors are drifting around the WWE Universe. AJ Styles is either going to fight Undertaker at the Royal Rumble, AJ is going to fight Shawn Michaels at the Royal Rumble or John Cena is going to fight Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Now while I'd like Cena/Undertaker to actually happen, what I see happening is different. I see Ellsworth using his championship opportunity against AJ and succeeding. Can't be too much of a stretch, the company is push Ellsworth like crazy and his merch sales are great so he is here to stay. But I see Undertaker coming back somehow and doing one of two things; either he gets the belt from Ellsworth or wins the next Royal Rumble. Either way he inserts himself in the main event of Wrestlemania 33, IDEALLY, his last Wrestlemania.
If Undertaker gets the Belt from Ellsworth (or AJ, in a match at the Royal Rumble before the Rumble itself) that means the most likely winner for 2017s Rumble is AJ or Cena. If Cena wins he ties Stone Cold Steve Austin for most Royal Rumble Wins. If AJ Wins we get to see the Phenom vs The Phenominal One. If Undertaker wins the Royal Rumble one last time, then we see Cena, most likely him since he ideally could be the one that retires the Undertaker making the Phenom stare at the lights one last time.
Or Roman comes in and unifies the Universal and World Heavyweight belt. Ain't that a scary idea eh VInce?
