I'm not sure how this is a possible spoiler when that's the whole point of the Royal Rumble match. The winner faces the champion at Wrestlemania, right? I am not sure where you're going with this or what spoiler was said but sure, great catch.

 

[Terry Gyimah]

That is why I am hoping Lesnar retains the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and if and when he does here is hoping that the winner of the Royal Rumble is either Reigns or Bryan to set up Lesnar to take on either one of those 2 men making it a WrestleMania main event actually worth seeing

How long have you been watching wrestling? This has always been the stipulation of the RR match. Winner gets to face the champ at WM. The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is '92 when the RR match was for the actual championship.

And that's still not even a spoiler. It's simply a match stipulation.

 

[MartialHorror]

To be fair, the belt is usually defended between Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble ("Fast Lane"?), but it's rare that the champion loses.

 

[strangephish]

What he's getting at is the championship won't be defended at Fast Lane, which to me only means that Brock is walking out still champ. Since the other two are around all the time and would most likely defend it at Fast Lane.

Your obviously not getting it...it's basically confirming Lesnar won't defend at Fast Lane

Nope...


Only since 93... Prior to that and 92 the champion himself could and did enter/win the Rumble.

What they're doing is staking the line that it's a "one on one" main event this year... but of course Rollins can cash in anyway so it might not be as cut an dried... It's a nothing announcement basically.

You're making no sense and nothing confirmed nor denied Lesnar not fighting at Fast Lane. Why would he if he retains the title at the Royal Rumble? All I got from the interview is that Triple H stated that who everyone is going to win the rumble match is very "bright" or something along those lines. That's all.

You are not getting it and and don't pay attention either. In the video Cole states "We know know who even wins the title match at Royal Rumble between Seth,Brock,and Cena will headline WrestleMania against the winner of the Royal Rumble at WrestleMania. So even if it didn't mention Brock or whoever the champion is not defending. It basically means that because why in the hell would they have the title defended at Fast Lane unless that's a (botched spoiler) when he just said that. Considering the fact that there is already video packages for Fast Lane showing Cena,Reigns vs. Rollins,Show for Fast Lane it mean first of all neither Rollins and Cena are winning the title at RR. It also confirms that the only man Lesnar could face at Fast Lane that could be logical is Orton for the world title with Seth costing him the match. However, if someone like me was to go back and recall that video, Cole said that "it would either be Rollins,Cena,or Lesnar vs. the winner of the RR at Mania." Now with that in mind Cena/Rollins busy at Fast Lane and Brock likely retaining it means that that the title will not change hands again. It also means that their the only 3 people who could walk into WM with the belt basically saying no one else can.

"Card subject to change"

And who said Lesnar has to win if the title isn't being defended? Maybe Cena or Rollins have it and they're in this so-called main event tag match for filler. It's very easy to poke holes in your over thinking.

Can Lesnar win? Sure. Will he? No one around here knows for sure until someone's pinned Sunday.

I wouldn't be surprised if either Cena or Lesnar win the match, and then Rollins immediately cashes in, and becomes new WWE Champion. Then they might have either Bryan or Reigns win the Rumble, and have Rollins v Bryan (which would be awesome) or Rollins v Reigns.

It will depend on whether Brock stays until WM, or leaves after the Rumble, as some reports indicate.

 

[DirtyDickSlater]

I hate recycled storylines but now is the perfect time for Bret/Luger RR 94. Yokozuna at the time was booked similar to Brock as the monster heel champion. Daniel Bryan=Bret (the Underdog who felt what the top was like but loss the title and had to climb to the back top) and Roman Reign/Lex Luger (the muscle-bound hero) touch the floor same time as the last two. Fans are gonna go haywire if DB doesnt win. Thats not good for investors of stock in of a product that gets told live "THIS IS BULLSHIT" because that can happen if Reigns wins. Imagine if u had a shitty phone that told u that u had a shitty phone? That could be the WWE Network this Sunday. Make Reigns and DB work double duty at WM. What better way to go for the brass ring, right? It keep DB fans in-check, now you have an extra variable with unpredictability adding DB to the "who's leaving WM the champ" question, and u can get the most out an expiring Brock Lesnar contract. Have Roman Reigns start a good personal feud with an Ambrose heel turn. It gotta be personal enough to almost take ur mind off the fact he's in the title picture (Like Bret/Owen). This will work cuz I'm sure Rollins working with Orton so and i dont really see a good feud for Ambrose unless maybe a Sheamus feud. Have Brock vs DB, Brock wins (cmon it's not logical for DB to go over Brock nor does he need to, plus we saw the DB WM last year) Ambrose vs Reigns in a Hardcore Match, Reigns vs Brock, Reigns wins, then PERFECT time to cash in after Reigns had a hardcore match AND a hard fought battle with Brock. Have Reigns say "I want u 100% so im watching your back and we can see who the best blah blah" leading up to WM.

1. Satisfied Daniel Bryan fans: nothing wrong with a clean loss at WM to Brock

2 Get TWO Brock Lesnar matches: WORK HIM! He was gone for too long and too far in-between. He's leaving anyway

3. Still establish Reigns as THE GUY with a clean win over Lesnar even without the strap. Plus he can feud with Ambrose and Rollins til SS and then have his moment

4. WM never had a MITB cash-in. DO IT! MITB cash in sent Edge on his way to being a Hall of Famer. Rollins already the top heel and MVP of the WWE since DB went down

PS: Make Dean Ambrose a Paul Heyman guy

 

[Terry Gyimah]

If Lesnar retains then either Bryan or Reigns is winning the Rumble Match but if Cena wins the title then either Reigns or Bryan ends up winning the Rumble but if Rollins somehow wins the title then either Ambrose or Reigns or Orton wins the Rumble

That would probably be the safe move to satisfy everybody by having Reigns and Bryan be the winner of the Royal Rumble. I think WWE is going to go with Reigns. I'm surprised they'd go with another triple threat main event for the title but Bryan is money and WWE seems to favor Reigns so everybody wins in that situation.

That's what I was saying all along that Brock Lesner will retain his title at WM and defend the title against Randy Orton at Fast Lane cause wwe is rushing too fast for making Brock face as they are slowly progressing his change of character and his contract is up wwe will probably extend Lesner's contract a bit longer. It wouldn t make sense to turn the big guy face upon his departure ! Reigns is not championship material period he has no mic skills and poor lack of ring skills he has 2 moves that's it! Reigns can be compared to ultimate warrior I see him aligning with Paul Heyman as he fits perfect as a heel. We all know Randy Orton will interfere at RR leading these 2 at fast lane

Yea but sorry I watched the video and didn't see any indication of what the OP is talking about.

It's common knowledge that the winner of the Rumble will face the WWE champion at Wrestlemania, that's kind of the whole point of the match. But HHH didn't say who was going to win the triple threat, and he wouldn't give his opinion on who would win the Rumble. So where is this possible spoiler?

I did think though it was funny when he said that Cena or anyone associated with him, can't win a match without help, when the subject of Sting came up. I guess he's forgotten about all the help Rollins gets from Kane, Show, Noble and Mercury.

Card not subject to change with Lesner now turning face slowly fans are demanding and wanting more of him more appearances which he being a tweener vs face Randy Orton is almost like SCSA vs Rock love Brock or hate him he's way over the crowd than john semen ever was I see Randy Orton interfering in the triple threat match then a match against Seth Rollins at WM then he challenges Brock at Fast Lane

Triple H is saying that the winner of the RR will face the winner of the Triple threat match, implying that the winner of the triple threat match won't lose the championship at Fast Lane. So the title won't change hands at Fast Lane. Thats what OP is trying to tell you guys

Oh that's it, okay. Well I'm pretty sure than we all expected that whoever won the triple threat at the Rumble would walk into Mania as champion. Doesn't make much sense winning the title at the Rumble, one of the big four to lose it right away at a "B" PPV a few weeks later.

Do we even know if the title is going to be defended at Fast Lane? It's only been defended a couple of times in the last 6 months, but I'm assuming that will change after Mania.

 

[rmp0012002]

It makes Fast Lane useless as fans now know whoever comes out as the winner of the Triple Threat match won't defend the belt at that PPV or if they do they will be retaining. I think With Brock's contract up after WM he wins the TT match and loses to whoever at WM as it gives Brock no reason to even show up at Mania if he doesn't have the belt.

 

[the smark break kid]

What should happen is Reigns wins rumble to raging boos from the crowd.. Same night Lesnar retains title.. Do whatever filler matches they want at fast lane whatever tag match they can think of.. Now heres where it gets good have Lesnar beat Reigns in a slug fest only to have Heyman double cross Lesnar after match and allow Rollins to cash in

 

[mkw1962]

I thought they were giving it away at first but than looking at it Fast lane is not a major pay per view and the Title will not be defended or change hands. Brock is probably not wrestling at Fast Lane but I do see him Retaining the Title at the Rumble.

 

[That N Word]

Now do you guy's see what I was talking about...it's literally on the books
