It appears pretty likely at this point that not only will Hulk Hogan not be competing in an actual match at WrestleMania XXX, he may not be involved physically in any form or fashion.

Β 
The latest word coming out of WWE is that Hogan was examined by their doctors and as a result, the decision was made not to use him in a physical capacity whenever he returns to the company officially.
Β 
Additionally, there is talk in WWE that the company may debut Hulk Hogan, along with several other big names, at the WWE RAW show on February 24th. The 2/22 RAW is the night after Elimination Chamber and the night that the WWE Network officially launches.

If they do sign Sting along with Hogan's done deal, I would get Devon as well and do an 'outsiders/takeover/invasion' style angle. They can talk about other people being possibly involved and hint to AJ Styles or whoever.Β 

Β 

But they won't. They will waste everyone. Not that Hogan can do anything, nor Sting, but they have SOME relevance to their names that can make people tune in.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

We got a little preview of the Royal Rumble match on RAW...

Β

Β 

Time to throw up predictions.

Β 

Pre-show: The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg & Billy Gunn) vs. Cody Rhodes & Goldust Β© for the WWE Tag Team Championship -Β This will probably be where they start to sow the seeds for a Cody Rhodes vs. Goldust match at WrestleMania XXX.

Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar -Β Essentially a rehash of Royal Rumble 2003, but with Paul Heyman in the other corner.

Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt -Β Probably gonna be the biggest pop of the night; seeing and hearing 15,000+ people doing the "YES!" chant.

John CenaΒ vs. Randy Orton Β© for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Does it really have to be said?

Royal Rumble match -Β I'm tempted to back CM Punk, but nah, he'll probably be eliminated before they get to #20. I'll still back an outsider though; I'll go withΒ Big E Langston.Β  :p

Β 

EDIT: Yeah, I forgot the WWE WHC match when I posted. :pinch:

Hello,

Pre-show: The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg & Billy Gunn) vs. Cody Rhodes & Goldust Β© for the WWE Tag Team Championship -Β No way they would give the tag titles to NAO. If there is a Rhodes vs Rhodes, it will start at the Rumble when one elimnates the other.

Big Show vs. Brock Lesnar -Β I see a spinball but I dont think WWE is gonna take advantage of it.

Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt -Β Bryan already has enough push....I think they are trying to get Bray a bit more up the ladder.

Naomi vs AJ Lee - They will waste everyone's time with this...

John CenaΒ vs. Randy Orton Β© for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Everything points to Cena; He has to fued with Brock. Brock beats Cena for the title and then

Royal Rumble match - All thru out the time coming to the Rumble, Ive had a lot of guesses. Its hard to call this one. Even if Baptista doesnt win, he can do it at Elimination Chamber and still be in the main event. CM Punk's missing a Royal Rumble win. Later, we have two returnees RVD and Sheamus, making 8 superstars a "surprise" (well, one will be some old school and/or Kane). Also, dont be surprised by a return of the Undertaker since all three of the Shield are involved. Another possibility, is that Cena loses (LOL) and he enters himself in the Rumble. Now THAT I would ask for a refund. Anyways, Im gonna stick to my original guy: Roman Reigns. Ill tell you even more: Batista and Reigns last men and Reigns gets the elimination...

Damien: Ive seen contests on Neowin for Minecraft building and something about a subway sandwich. I think it would be nice for each annual Rumble (since it is hard to pick the winner) or Wrestlemania to have a contest for who gets the card right and/or the most matches :) (Obviously till a certain date and/or if the matches dont leak). What do you think :)

Β 

According to PWInsider.com, the current plan for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 30 is for him to face Sheamus in a WrestleMania rematch.

Β 
While it remains unconfirmed as of now whether or not Sheamus will be returning to WWE at The Royal Rumble, current WWE plans as of today have Daniel Bryan facing Sheamus in a singles match at WrestleMania.
Β 
If these plans go through, this will be the third match between Bryan and Sheamus at WrestleMania, as the two previously faced off in a Lumberjack dark match at WrestleMania 27, and they faced off at WrestleMania 28 in the infamous match which saw Sheamus defeat Bryan for the World Title in 18 seconds.
Β 
Of course plans can always change for WrestleMania, but it's being said that a match between Bryan and Sheamus at the big event is pretty much "set in stone" at this point.

Hello,

23 confirmed......Barrett being dropped for a legend that we know will get elimintated is just dumb, so 22....RVD and Sheamus....24...

BTW, unless Im missing something (because Mark Henry is "injured"), this is going to be a Rumble with no "big fat men". The typical wrestler that you need more than one guy to get over the top. I imagine The Great Khali getting put in there for this purpose.

Hello,

I would enjoy a return by Kharma (Tia Stevens) to the Rumble. She was HIGHLY underused (releasing her because of her pregancy was awful; she has the right to live a personal life and start a family) and she would completely stir up the boring diva's division. There isnt even a official divas match announced yet for the Rumble. She wouldnt be there to be pretty or make friends (wait, on second thought, WWE is capable of making her this sweet inoccent strong girl....)

Sad thing is that she has recently dropped a lot of weight (good on her) so it loses a lot of her "power image". (Same thing as a slim Big Show or Mark Henry, just wouldnt cut it)

    • I think he means you haven't reviewed previous UFC games. Of course it doesn't matter... Every time you just report on something that involves the President even if just simply what happened you guys usually get accused of being anti-Trump. We live in fun times.
    • So how did you solve the problem? Disabling Secure Boot isn’t a solution.
    • Another devilish issue surrounding these certificates is what can happen with old, unsuspecting PCs that nevertheless have Secure Boot enabled. In my case, it was a Dell with a 3rd-gen Core chip (so about 13 years old). As of the last few weeks, it was suddenly BSOD'g within about 5 minutes of booting. Turns out it was because of MS's "Secure-Boot-Update" scheduled task, which is scheduled to run 5 minutes after login. It's explained in gory detail here (this is not my post, but it was where I found the answer), but the short version is that this legacy system would need fairly elaborate, manual certificate intervention since MS's automatic cert update method cannot work. How to do that is linked late in the thread. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...od-caused-by-scheduled-task Secure Boot wasn't at all important for this particular PC, so I disabled it to be done with the problem.

Flip the new mode switcher to Builder, set everything the way you want it, and save the result as a Winhance config or an autounattend file ready for deployment on other machines. Sponsors & Supporters page β€” the exit donation dialog is gone. In its place, an in-app page (heart icon or the More menu) recognizes the businesses and individual supporters who keep Winhance free.

Accessibility: Narrator now announces setting names on toggles and dropdowns, previously unlabeled buttons are labeled, and progress updates are announced. Silent updates now respect your custom install location instead of reverting to the default. Cancel in Review Mode no longer clears your app selections. OneNote is now detected correctly for Win32 Click-to-Run installs. Clean Start Menu applies more reliably by also writing the group policy path. WinGet errors are no longer silent β€” error details now show in the terminal output. Fixed a startup crash on older Windows builds caused by a .NET runtime regression. Config import now converts power setting values correctly and no longer re-applies an already-active power plan. Improvements App icons load noticeably faster and cover almost everything now, including legacy capabilities and optional features β€” they come from a dedicated, checksum-validated icon repository and are fetched in parallel. Software & Apps polish: per-icon tooltips, extra table columns, an app sort dropdown, relocated search, and a cleaner compact view. A warning now appears when the Connected Devices Platform Service is set to Manual or Disabled, since some Windows features depend on it.
