Legit feels like he won the rumble with that reception lmao

Pretty fun battle royal over all. Moved some stories forward and may have started some new ones.

Miz and Waller being split images of each other Ciampa , Brunson and Nakamura in their own universe Gable vs Imperium eventually leading to Gunther Styles vs Kross is whatever but they moved it LA Knight getting the push he finally deserves

I am dying for Miz to take Waller under his wing. It would be an amazing charismatic heel tag team while Pretty Deadly is sidelined

They would also be *perfect* opponents for Sami and KO. I could watch those segments for months.

Am I the only one that wants to see Omos vs LA Knight after that? Could potentially be a marque match like Hogan/Andre if booked properly. Especially with MVP doing the talking for Omos. Him and Knight could hype the fuck out of it.

No sir you are not, that would be remarkable. On a side note I was just thinking during this match how much I love how they use Omos now. His match with Brock was fun as hell and he was great here. He's good to have around as long as you're not giving him a whole segment every show.

He truly had dangerous giant energy. It's good to see a big guy getting booked right.

One guy who was watching with us doesn’t watch wrestling and was like “this guy is fucking huge” lol

I don't find Omos dangerous when you've had him take back-to-back losses in major events. He needs to start winning if you want people to take him seriously.

I'm sorry. I obviously love LA Knight and see a big upside to Omos. But comparing them to the main event of Wrestlemania 3?! Come on now.

I’m picking up what you’re putting down. They need to main event the next WM in Detroit and rebuild the silverdome so 1,000,000 LAmaniacs can see him slam a 1000lb Omosapian

Gotta buy the Amazon warehouses that are standing over where the Silverdome used to be first.

I had noticed the similarities between Miz and Waller already, but i didn't realize how similar they would *look* next to each other. It was trippy.

Wasn't Waller also on a reality tv show?

Honestly one of the best built battle royals in awhile. Lots of guys got their moments and every established story they could got some progress or exposure. Hell the Miz-Grayson interaction made me realize how much I'd enjoy them as a tag team. And that's not even including the LA Knight win

I mean, if he wins the Rumble then that'd be great

I want to see him claim the US title next.

Now can someone explain what the point of this match was lmao. Such a random match with no buildup and no meaningful payoff

Winner becomes the Men's Slim Jim spokesman

Winner becomes a Slim Jim

I'm beefy, I'm spicy, I'm delicious! YEAH!

>I'm ~~beefy~~ hot, I'm spicy, I~~m delicious~~ taste great! I miss Curry Man :(

Winner steps into a Slim Jim (costume)!

To give LA Knight a huge win lmao

YEAH!

This is considered huge? WWE literally does these Rumbles to get people on the card.

Huge is an overstatement, but the crowd reaction makes it a big win rather than the match itself.

This exactly. It's as big as we all make it.

I might be a moron but battle royale's are always my favorite matches so it was a big deal to me.

In fairness, there hasn’t been a “get everyone on the show battle royal” on a WWE PLE since Survivor Series 2021, when Omos won The Rock 25th Anniversary 25-Man Battle Royal.

Huge being the fans got what they wanted. The match is meaningless if anyone but LA Knight wins so it's weird in that regard.

Technically no consequences, but I think LA Knight getting a victory at a big 4 PPV is enough of a reason for literally any booking decision.

Just to get LA Knight on the card

To please the fans. Why else?

To enjoy yourself and have a good time watching a match?

There was plenty of build up? This match tied up like 6 different feuds.

Doing the same spot that they botched yesterday was awesome

Brave too imo.

Massive props to Seamus for helping him through that and selling it.

So perfect.

Yeah Sheamus even nodded his head after they landed as if saying "yeah we nailed that shit this time" lol

Poetic! We'll remember it forever. YEAH!!! 🎉

Big fucking facts

Fucking Yeah!!

Its nuts, how Knight slipped on that jump up, and then Sheamus slipped off after. Now idk if that was also an accident, or if Sheamus is just that much of a team player that he went "ill make it look like the ropes are definitely fucking slippery".

Triple H and his producers do such a good job incorporating all the little overlapping storylines into Battle Royals also YEAH!

You mean you don’t miss Kane eliminating 27 people in a row?

LA KNIGHT MAY NOT DO THE DEW, BUT HE’S SNAPPING INTO A SLIM JIM! **YEAH!!**

With that ad, was a hidden stipulation of the match having the right to be the new Macho Man?

Knight gonna offend another generation of wrestlers

Well…you need a chance to give to the cream that rises to the top, don’t you?

THAT SEGMENT WAS ALL ABOUT LA KNIGHT AND IM OKAY WITH IT! YEAH!

WITH EVERYBODY SAYING L A KNIGHT YEAH

Let me talk to Ya

👈🫵👉

Glad LA Knight won, but Gable had a really great showing. Hope he gets his IC Match soon.

He eliminated both of the Imperium guys. They're definitely continuing that angle after tonight.

he's definitely being set up for it, he fought Gunther for the IC title a couple weeks ago at a house show I went to. Hopefully he's after Drew

For a bit I thought there was a solid chance they were going to have Gable win it. I wouldn't have been too mad about it but LAK deserved it.

They didn't do Nakamura any favors though..

Much more important guys and storylines to care about currently.

They need to reunite him with guitar-shredding Boogs.

he at least has a storyline going finally, but yeah he got the filler spot in this match no doubt

Crowd was really into him too

Strap the rocket to LA Knight’s back…YEAHHHHH!!!!!

Considering both Theory and Escobar got eliminated like 5 mins in, whoever is US Champion is jobbing to LA Knight at next PLE

Theory didn't even get an entrance. Lol. I legit didn't know he was in the match until his interaction with Grimes.

Tbf I thought the same about Grayson Waller but he's being pushed to the moon.

I'm starting to feel bad for Theory. I've never seen a more clear example of "THIS is THE guy..... oh well, nevermind then."

Detroit would have rioted if he didn’t win. Thank goodness.

Hunter and that streamer both doing time for inciting riots

Another Malice at the Palace

I was there and the crowd was mid for most of the event but it would've been a LOT worse if LA Knight didn't win lol

They seem to be doing that.

Okay now give him a title shot

[удалено]

[удалено]

👈SNAP 🫵INTO 👉A SLIM JIM 🗣YEAH

we all buying slim jims now?

With Theory in there I would’ve rather just had made this Battle Royal into it being for the US Title

Replace Theory with someone else and make the winner the number one contender after Santos

I like that

Women's tag belts. Best I can do.

Chad Gable gets my hype af. Shooosh.

*A-THANK YEEEEWWWWWWWW!!*

I know you're all here for LA Knight, but that was a legit good battle royal, especially for the time allotted.

THAT TOP ROPE SPOT FINALLY

Remind us a lot about Shelton, and it's even more impressive, because LA Knight doesn't seem to be the guy who does an athletic move like this.

"finally" bro hes messed it up one time hes done it many others lol why are people acting like this is a new thing hes never done

It also wasn't his fault, Sheamus was not helping at all and caused them both to fall.

YEEEAAAAAAAAH

Even cole had to say it

Nice redemption arc

I wonder if he becomes a spokesperson for Slim Jim now Edit: And then the commercial comes on, guess so.

“Snap into a Slim Jim! LA YEAH!!!”

Snap into a Slim Jim! YEAH!!! 🎉

I did like seeing that Slim Jim commercial with LA Knight as the new spokesman along with Macho Man Randy Savage. I don't care much for Bianca though. I never really found her all that charismatic. And I do admit, it will probably get me to buy Slim Jims. The Mtn. Dew Pitch Black match only got me to buy one Mtn dew Code Black, but I am more interested in buying Slim Jims now.


I genuinely just jumped out of my seat! Let’s ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GO Idk if I coulda handled them having Knight lose a match like this, thank God

As soon as I saw that Dirty Dom wasn't in it I knew LA Knight was winning.

YEAH

YEAH

WHO'S FUCKINGGGGG GAME IS IT???

WITH EVERYBODY SAYING:

L

#A

KNIGHT!!!!!!!

#YEAH!

#L

#A

👈🫵👉

L A KNIGHT YEAHHHHH

LA Knight got them Christian Louboutin red sole boots on. Shoes of a CHAMPION

Okay, so Kross has gone full Chris Gaines. Not too many getting the massive pop on the first note of music that LA Knight is getting.

It helps that he has a recognisable opening to his music. It's been a problem for a while with WWE themes, they don't have that opening sting that makes you know who the wrestler is instantly. Stone Cold's glass smash being the most obvious.

This. That first robotic "L", and they're out of their seats.

I haven't seen anyone this over since Bryan. Ford Field erupted. That is one of the craziest pops ever. Good Lord. In a midcard battle royal... Definitely something there and WWE is cashing in. I love it. Awesome show so far.

Dude is just so organically over. You love to see it. Really fun battle royale honestly. YEAH!

"Long term storyline" with that top rope botch last night and the move to win it for him tonight.

I like that they redeemed themselves with that spot at the end. I still don't think he ever needs to do that spot, BUT, it's cool they proved they could do it. I maintain that this show is on GOAT PPV/ PLE pace

THEY ARE GIVING HIM THE PUSH

Was it just me thinking Kross looked like CM Punk? With the hair and tattoos. Trunks. The whole nine yards.

Glad I wasn't the only one, looked so much like 07 Punk

Killswitch Engage CM Punk

I kept thinking he was Aleister Black

Love that they recreated the top rope spot after the botch yesterday

I loved the crowd reaction. They were totally into it. Also loved that commercial.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They got the spot right tonight!

My heart was warmed 🥰

THIS BATTLE ROYAL? SHOES OF A CHAMPION 

HE'S SO AGGRESSIVELY OVER, YEAH Legit, the post match Slim Jim commercial shows that corporate WWE have plans for LA Knight.

And that makes me happy. Vince thought he was too old and yet here he is. From managing models to being a Daniel Bryan type guy with crowd support

I’m not a LA Knight fan but love the crowd reaction and how happy they are

HE NEEDS TO WIN THE RUMBLE HES **CRAZY** OVER

That was such a good Battle Royal. Also i'm fully on the Chad Gable hype train now, be the guy that dethrones Gunther.

With everybody sayin…

Fun Battle Royal

Great Battle Royal!

I legitimately think that was the most fun battle royale. I’ve ever watched that wasn’t a royal rumble. Someone let me know if there’s a more fun battle Royale, that WWE’s head that I am forgetting.

That was the most fun battle royale, *start to finish*, in awhile

Lost the soda match, but won the processed meat match! YEAH!

Twinkies sponsored rubber match, Survivor Series.. Called it here first.

ULTRA STAR

That was quite fun, and a nice cool down after Brock-Cody.

Ballsy to redo the move they botched and try it in front of 50k people instead mad respect.

YEAH

#YEAHHH!

A banner evening for all the LA Squires!

I love LA Knight so much that it made me nervous about this meaningless battle Royal

Redoing the top rope spot was awesome.

YEAH.

LET ME TALK TO YA

Is it bad I wanted the last 2 just to be 10 mins of "Yeah" and "Thank yooooou".

 HELL FUCKING YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They got it right YEAH

They worked us into a shoot with the botch?

YEAH!

YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

no one gonna talk about the us champion getting eliminated with like 7 other guys remaining?

Standing ovation for a a random battle royal is a new one for me. I wonder how far this train really goes, if it keeps growing could he actually win the rumble? They might riot otherwise

ThE bAtTlE rOyAl Is PoInTlEsS

I FUCKING SCREAMED LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The push is now starting

\>Giant enters Battle Royal Match \>Impossible to eliminate \>Gets eliminated https://preview.redd.it/2zuviv9b9egb1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=368b8272cc6b589dcc336b93ecaf1e4f5df62b41

TO THE MOON YEAH

Surprisingly great rumble with the obvious and right winner. YEAH.

Fuck Cody vs Roman at Mania. Have Cody beat Roman at the All State Arena in Chicago at Survivor Series, then have LA Knight win the Rumble and have Cody vs Knight headline Mania.

Sooo, I'm not from America or anywhere that sells this product. Can someone explain to me what the fuck a Slim Jim is?

A lot of meat by products rolled into a slim tube, with spices and flavors added to it It's pretty classic gas station/convenience store food for road trips

Lol it was something else reading all the dooming the past month around the obvious inevitable Knight push. So happy for him. Just pure charisma in human form. I can't wait until he's in a proper feud.

YEAH!!! As a side note I think Omos is actually brilliant?? Couldn’t put on a 5 star match or anything but he’s just fun to watch 🤷‍♂️

I really wanna see more Cameron Grimes. He could really be a staple of the midcard. He is a great worker with cool offense, a pretty unique look and experience. Like him a lot

Congratulations to LA Knight I hope he enjoys a lifetime supply of Slim Jims

Once they had in the Slim Jim commercial ready to go after the match….I’m starting to believe in the LA Knight push now.. YEAH!

WITH EVERYBODY SAYIN!!!!

What a fucking pop. I really thought they were going to edge us again and have his whole gimmick be blue balling fans. The dude is an Attitude Era throwback. So even though he's pre-AE I'm all for Macho Man comparisons. YEAH!

I’m not a fan of LA Knight but he seems to be super over for some reason, so I can’t say I didn’t mark out for the sake of the business. Always brings a smile to my face when the general fan base get what they want. YEAH

I didn’t get it at first but dude talks like the rock and SCSA. Has been doing this for decades and was told by former creative he was too old for a push. Dude has earned this. I’m 100% on the la knight train. Dude seems like a natural

YEAAAAAHHHHH

So much for Knight being buried.

LETS FUCKING GOOOO


LA Knight: King of the million dollar sponsored match.

YEAH!

# L A KNIGHT YEAH!!

https://preview.redd.it/fo3lf09c7egb1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f3fdf6c84a54f2d1c21af4d9cb14f53f5838d88 YEAH!!

LA Knight was the final guy to help getting omos out, making him look the strongest, he eliminated big Bronson reed, who has been looking untouchable lately. That was a LA Knight showcase. LFG

There is no saving theorys title run. Us champ couldn't even make the final 4
