JD McDonagh suffered a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung. For sure, he’s out for the Royal Rumble, and his status for WrestleMania is questionable.

In the opening segment of RAW, Seth Rollins finished talking to Gunther and had his back to the entrance ramp.

Logan Paul’s music began to play, and if you read Rollins’s lips, he actually said, “Who’s that?!” He forgot what Logan Paul’s entrance music sounded like, it’s been so long since that asshole has been on television.

The report I read about HHH HoF entry was that Stephanie, Shawn Michaels, and Undertaker informed him that it was happening. Obviously, I have no clue if that is true or not.

If the de facto head of the company didn’t know he was getting into the HOF and had to be told by two retirees and the guy who runs NXT, I’d be legitimately surprised.

I should also note that this is actually the second time Triple H will have been inducted. He also entered the Hall of Fame in 2019 as part of D-Generation X.

I’m going to play devil’s advocate, as I’ve really no horse in this race. VKM purposefully kept himself out of the HoF. HHH _may_ have thought to follow his lead, but unlike VKM, HHH could be coerced.

On another rant, why the hell are people given multiple entries? Does the R&R HoF work the same (I honestly don’t know)? At least in sports, one just makes it in once into the HoF, no matter how many championship teams on which one played. The way it works, Barry Darsow can be at least a 3-time HoFer - Krusher Kruschev, Smash, Repo Man. Time to start my write-in campaign.

The Rock n Roll hall of fame definitely works similar----- for example, Eric Clapton has been inducted three times: as a solo artist, with Cream and with The Yardbirds.

In fact I believe WWE used that as justification for doing it themselves.

Same thing happens if there’s a Pro Wrestling Heaven. Just like with Rock & Roll Heaven a drug overdose, car accident, or plane crash guarantees admission. They must have a Hell of a faction there.

That was hilarious. Sheamus is an absolute troll and doesn’t even seem to be bothered by the heat.

Meanwhile, TNA World Champion Joe Hendry has been subtly hinting that he’s going to be in the Royal Rumble.

Less than an hour until the Royal Rumble.

Predictions?

Mine:

Bianca Belair wins the Women’s Royal Rumble.  
DIY wins the tag-team title match.  
Cody wins the ladder match.  
John Cena wins the Men’s Royal Rumble.

Surprises:

Zack Ryder and Joe Hendry appear in the Royal Rumble.
