I thought this was a fun Rumble match, nice to see NXT talent get involved here in front of a huge crowd, I was impressed with Bianca Belair the most in this match even though she didn't win. She had a great perfomance. It's only a matter of time till she is on the Raw or SmackDown roster. Charlotte winning this match cements her legacy in WWE. She will 100% challenge Becky for 'Mania. I think.........

SmackDown Women's Championship Match - Bayley (c) defeated Lacey Evans
Who will challenge Bayley next? Surely they are going to book Bayley vs. Sasha for April...right? Sasha being the heel of course.

Universal Championship Match - "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt (c) defeated Daniel Bryan (Strap match) Good match. Bryan put up a hell of a fight, he was never winning here. Let's move on.

Raw Women's Championship Match - Becky Lynch (c) vs. Asuka
As we all predicted going in to this, Becky was always going to get her win back from last years loss at this here event. Debt collected by "The Man"

  28. Aleister Black
  29. Samoa Joe
  30. Seth Rollins
Winner - Drew McIntyre - Lastly eliminating Roman Reigns.
I said on the predictions that this is Drew's time to become champion. He deserves to be holding the title. Who will he challenge at 'Mania? It's got to Brock. After all he did eliminate the Beast en route to winning the Rumble. As far as the picture for the Universal title goes, I wouldn't be shocked to see a triple threat in April: Fiend vs. Bryan vs. Reigns. Lets see how things play out on TV. That's it for the review-ish. Thanks for reading.
