US and Universal Title matches are pretty easy to call, but both Rumble’s are intriguing. Becky/Bayley and Cody/Punk are the prohibitive favourites, but I smell the potential for a swerve. Very much looking forward to both matches.

I'm looking forward to the Rumble's. I don't watch WWE regularly so I have no clue who the favourites are for the women's match...but, unless the Rock makes an appearance, I'd say Cody/Punk make a lot of sense for the men.

I'm guessing Logan Paul is the favourite in the US match?

Feel like Punk is gonna win and guarantee his shot at Seth

Cody can lose and overcome adversity at Elimination Chamber to face Roman again

Can't believe this is Punk's first televised match in WWE. Feels like he's been there for months by now lol.

Yep. Can’t see any reason for him to drop the belt here when Mania is just a couple of months away, but the match should be good.

I kind of zone in and out on WWE these days, but the Rumble to Wrestlemania season is usually when my attention is at its highest. It helps that my son is a huge Cody fan and basically treats him as a superhero, so you know who we’re cheering for tonight!

This and Summerslam season feel like the actual story

The rest can be OK but definitely feel like filler
