Ronda Rousey is not officially scheduled on the wwe.com Rumble page... though I would not be surprised 1 bit if she is in the Rumble match

as for Steph... she is announced to be on the commentary team during the women's Rumble match

Latest rumor is that Ronda will not be in the Rumble but I imagine that's something only a few people would know. Stephanie is announcing it, not wrestling. Looks like the women's Rumble might be closing the show too.

Big Daddy Meltzer called the Gorgano/Almas match last night “The Greatest in NXT History”

The crowd's gonna be pissed after Roman eliminates all 29 other people single handedly. Maybe they think the women's rumble can win them back. Especially if Ronda shows up.

Gargano/Almas was the best match I've seen in years. Everything I love about wrestling.

Better than all those Okada/Omega matches.

i could see it closing the show if they do a big angle with Asuka crushing everyone and winning easily, announcers are all "who can stop her?" etc, then RR shows up and they build to WM. That's worthy of closing the show.

I like the working theory that Balor wins, but challenges Styles instead of Lesnar.

Nakamura frankly doesn't deserve it. He's done nothing for months.

Then again, same could be said for Orton last year

and yet a Nakamura/Styles main event for the WWE Championship would be a very easily hyped match... all over the world

yea I've been a little disappointed with Nakamura's work since coming. I mean his match with Sami at NXT was amazing.

Nothing would be more awesome than a Finn and AJ feud leading up to mania

Right, and I'm not disputing that it would be a great match.

It'd be great because Nak would get off his lazy arse for the first time in 8 months.
