Hey chums, I haven't watched wrestling in a long while but just got the Network to tune into my favorite match, Royal Rumble. Could someone catch me up on all the storylines and stuff to look out for?
Thanks,
Ricky

roman reigns is wrestling kevin owens and no-one cares. Also jericho is locked in a cage because the booking is bad-russo tier so the matches might as well be also.
seth rollins is angry at triple H because triple h beat him up then went off TV because the football started
AJ styles is wrestling John Cena again because after beating John Cena a bunch, John went away and became a part-timer meaning he's allowed a title shot whenever
Goldberg, Brock, Undercarder and a bunch of other people are in the rumble because WWE had a bigger stadium to sell out.
Randy orton joined the wyatt family and it's become entertaining so it's being broken up.
Charlotte is wrestling Bayley because she needs to wait a month before wrestling Sasha again

Roman, Seth and Rollins were in a faction together (SHIELD) and they were really over until they broke up when Rollins turned on the other two to work with Triple H and The Authority.
Since then Rollins got injured, came back and is now a heel while Ambrose moved to Smackdown.
All 3 of them (and Owens) are victims of bad booking on WWE's part. Reigns by over saturation as they tried really hard to make him the next Cena/Rock. Rollins by not having him return from injury as a face (and waiting around in limbo for HHH to return). Ambrose has been booked decently out of the 3 but was made to look like a fool by Brock at last Wrestlemania then got humbled by AJ.
Thanks for all the helpful responses. The other name that keeps coming up is Finn Balor, what's his deal?
Also I read about Sting's tenure with the WWE and his health concerns, is there a reason he's not being discussed as a surprise entry because he seems like a really good candidate?
Thanks
Ricky
hi ricky

Sup Ricky, I'll quickly run through all the matches that matter.
AJ Styles Vs. Cena for the WWE Championship. AJ has been on a tear lately and has 3 wins over on Cena, who only recently came back from filming and was given a title shot for free.
Roman Reigns is challenging Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship with Chris Jericho locked in a shark cage above the ring. Jericho is being locked in there because he always interferes to help Kevin Owens retain his titles, and Roman has been making them both look like bitches week in and week out.
Goldberg came back at Survivor Series and squashed Brock Lesnar in less than two minutes, then announced his entrance into the Royal Rumble. The three biggest players to look out for are Brock, Goldberg, and the Undertaker.
Neville entered the Cruiserweight division by jumping current Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann and two other cruiserweights, and their rivalry has been building on the Networks newest show, 205 Live
nothing else on the card matters.

Finn Balor was basically the king of NXT.
When he got called up to the roster in the draft back in July he got fucking pushed to the moon, beating Roman Reigns clean (almost never happens), and became the inaugural Universal Champion at Summerslam.
However, in that same Summerslam match he injured himself, had to relinquish the championship the next night, and be out due to injury recovery for around 6ish months. He's basically all healed now from what we've seen, so if he gets cleared to wrestle this weekend, he'd be a good pick for a surprise return.

>different poster/image
>AJ relegated to background
>on same footing as dabfag TJetty
>Xavieretty and horseface featured prominently

Sting himself said he's done with wrestling. After a match with Seth Rollins in 2015 at Night of Champions where his spinal cervical stenosis (what caused Edge to retire) was fucking him up hard, he decided he wanted out or else he'd probably die in a ring.
He was even inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016. He's donezo.
me too, I just watched last smackdown, since when is shane omac face?

They are legit trying to build a storyline based on AJ complaining to Shane about his poster positioning
Not even fucking Russo booked dumb things like this.
