My roommate who isn't a wrestling fan was casually in the room when I had the Rumble on. Jokingly said "ya know what, this guy is my pick, he's going the distance." When he saw Gunther. Roommate then ended up being so impressed by Gunther that after the Rumble he literally asked specifically to see more Gunther matches and we ended up staying up all night watching him vs Sheamus vs Dunne, both Dragonov matches, hell even his match against Will Osprey in Defiant Wrestling, and my roommate now has decided Gunther is his favorite wrestler because of the fact he literally could watch some chops and hard strikes without wincing.

Jey walking out was so unexpected, but the more I thought about it, it made sense. Jey was beaten into submission by Roman. Seeing someone he just accepted be brutalised broke him.

My friend: "What did you do Sunday morning?" Me: I refreshed my KZfaq non stop for 4 hours waiting for Simon to up those downs

Hi guys! Just a note, as always, to say if you’re getting no audio it’s not us, it’s KZfaq. Always give it a few minutes and it will catch up. But I totally appreciate that it’s quite frustrating. Thanks for the love as always!

The angle after the main event is the best ever ending I have witness. It was masterpiece cinema. I give it golden up

"Blue lights everywhere, I'm glad I washed these pants." Thanks for that, Pat.

Gunther is one of my favourites right now. Legendary performance last night. People will talk about that final 2 for a while. Just so talented 💯.

I felt it the moment Jey's heart broke. I actually teared up when he was walking away so conflicted and broken. Whatever he gets paid, its not enough

Cody winning, not a surprise, Samy helping Kevin, excellent, but I don't how many of us had Jay walking out on the Bloodline.

The ending with Sami turning on the Bloodline was gold. Even though Sami leaving the bloodline was inevitable, it was still heartbreaking to watch, especially when Jey who accepted Sami in the family and walked out on the bloodline after they beat up Sami

I actually enjoyed the Pitch Black match as a one-time concept. Being under the UV light didn't detract from anything and was WAY better than that red lighting The Fiend used.

What I enjoyed about both rumbles is that WWE did not use past wrestlers to get pops. It felt like WWE wanted to show of the talent it has. Good show!

I will be the most disappointed man in the world today, if the finishing angle doesn’t get an Golden Up (at least), legendary stuff!

Cody Rhodes may have got his moment but mad respect for Walter for being the Iron Man & being the MVP of Royal Rumble match . Hope he will win the next years Rumble match

The massive heat Roman & The Bloodline received brought me back to the greatest days of pro wrestling. Man they’re absolutely killing it.

I couldnt wait to tune into ups and downs. This Royal Rumble was historic. Even the people that didn't win the Royal Rumble got their spotlight.

Patt and Corey bring out the worst in each other and I loved it. They just kept feeding off each other on commentary all night.

The ending is even more brilliant remembering that Sami and Jey are the ones who retained the Raw tag titles last week. I could see the belts be put on them and that being used as the way to split the tag titles.

The Kofi botch looked painful. Hope he's ok

Can we discuss the beauty of that last segment? It was Jey that fought Roman in the beginning before he finally caved and accepted him as his tribal chief. It was Jey that was so against Sami. He was the last to accept him. He stood for Sami at his trial... And he was the one to walk away without hurting Sami. It was just... a beautiful addition to this story. I can't wait to see what happens next with Sami, Kevin, Jey, and the Bloodline!

I think these rumbles are a good example of HHHs booking style good solid few high points slightly predictable but in a refreshing comfortable way saving any swerves or shocks to draw attention to something that needs more attention

Gunther showed out. This man has transformed his body and now he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

The ending segment of the Bloodline was pure gold need a Golden UP Simon.

The ending of this PPV was the BEST thing in wrestling in a long time . Nicely done👏👏👏

Gunther is definitely a future multiple time Wrestlemania main eventer. And I’d be down for him vs Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam or Wrestlemania 40 for The WWE Championship

The bloodline segment was literally the highlight of the Royal rumble

That post match angle was one of the most incredible things I've seen in forever. Everyone played their parts to sheer perfection. It gave me chills several times.

the end was so unexpected, i honestly was surprised with the Jey thing, it made me remind on how he was against Roman back in 2020 and now I need a Fatal 4 Way on mania

Glad I watched this by myself because I had legit tears in my eyes at the end.

This felt like a “Keep It Simple Stupid” “Trust The Plan” approach by HHH and WWE. Just keep telling the story and don’t distract the audience from those two main stories with bloodline and Cody

I loved how much fun the commentators were having during the whole night.. and also i swear that the Drew Sheamus tag team and the finisher they did with both claymore and brogue are the best thing ive seen and it was brutal

The winners of the Rumble were predictable but the way it ended was great.Seeing Sami and Bloodline in two ways was a bit heartbreak, but in the end it was all I needed.

Best PPV WWE has put out in a while. I think I might start watching weekly again, especially after I didn't care for the Bloodline storyline for a bit but it grew on me and that ending was the WWE of old that I fell in love with 20 years ago. Thank you HHH

I've never checked KZfaq as much as I did today waiting for this upload 💪🏾

Cody Rhodes Winning the Rumble and All of the Bloodline stuff, just top notch wrestling!

I actually really enjoyed the Pitch Black match, visually it looked great and Bray can't struggle against someone in his first match back of his first feud

No audio guys, your editor needs to be on this!.

I have to say the bloodline Samy story has instantly become one of the best storylines in WWE history for me. On somewhat par with Bryan vs “The Authority”

I think Sami and Jey need an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Tony for the drama they convey in this bloodline storyline

Gunther's performance, Cody winning, The bloodline segment. I will say it's a pretty solid show.

Simon really said "this made you want to go crazy with your fingers and we and we all want to do that" . And he couldn't be more right

Gunther's performance was the highlight of the night for me. He definitely won me over. Dude's a beast.

The pitch black match was unique and it worked as intended. Watched with my gf she’s less than a casual fan and she really liked it.

That thing was Sami at the end was like watching the wrestling equivalent of watching Old Yeller. We all knew this was going to happen but still got me right in the feels.

I really liked the Pitch Black match. Though it was a big advert, I actually know LA Knight, we used to work together back in the mid 2000s. Really cool seeing him in a match at the Royal Rumble

That last segment, honestly, one of the bestbi have seen in any wrestling company for years, long term storytelling pays off when done right and this was perfection. Also loved the give me an up signs throughout the night, next year we want Simon in the Rumble.

Ghunter had an amazing performance in the Rumble and I honestly believe 2023 will be an amazing year for him and the bloodline segment after their match was just pure cinema that you could watch it over and over. I was warm and fuzzy in my tum tum. So good 👌

Sami had no choice but to turn. He even tried pleading after so I like how they showed him being conflicted.

Evil Clown Kana reveal was the hightlight of the night. I lost my damn mind when it happened. Double Golden Up.

Damn... if only the audio worked

I'm glad Gunther got his due in this match considering the first time he was in the Rumble, he lasted less than a minute.

Gunther was the Iron Man last night! One of the most impressive Royal Rumble performances I have ever seen🔥👍👍

The volume button needs an up

The bloodline story deserves an Emmy

Untill the end of the show I thought it was a bit lackluster. That angle is just *chef kiss* amazing. It should get like a multiplatinum up.

Was hoping for Big E. Hope he's doing well.

Someone fix the audio please! I was looking forward to this video all day dammit! Edit: now the audio is working properly now

Overall, I really enjoyed this Rumble. I thought they made some really great decisions and planted the seeds for some potentially great long term story telling. Makes me excited to see what the road to WrestleMania will produce.

Yeah that ending of the rumble overshadowed everything that was master story telling. The way the crowd was engaged was insane.

Anyone else having sound issues with this video? I have no sound or closed captions

Simon! You are amazing. Love everything you do!! Golden Up!!!!

I think you can pull different endings for the end, and it still wouldn't be how wonderful that was. Absolutely a masterpiece

Simon got my feelings about the show perfectly. Was it the best PPV wrestling ive scene in a vaccum? No. However, I cannot think of a show in recent memory (years) that has made me say I cannot miss upcoming TV.

No audio in the mix...

This was an absolutely great event. Loved every bit of it.

No audio on my end Simon

In the beginning of the show I did see a “Simon miller, give me an up” sign

I went with some friends who wasnt wrestling fans and they had the time of their life! The crowd was electric last night the rumble! It was wild!

Did Simon just miss the ''Simon give me an UP'' sign at 10:41 in the show? Sad times

Thank you Simon! For all the negativity out there, you were successful in bringing out the positives of the match, which were so very many.

Pat and Corey were amazing on commentary. Bloodline and Sami were epic. It’ll be interesting to see what happens going forward and how they will add Cody to the mix. We do need Sami vs Reigns before that mania match tho

Personally I liked the pitch black match, I think we need more of these neon matches and I'm always a Bray wyatt fan so it gets an up

No audio?

I enjoyed the event regardless of the ups and downs especially what happened after the main event. It was Great storytelling and a great moment. Definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next in regards to The Bloodline.

The commentary when piper Niven got in was amazing

I'm so early the video has no audio. My disappointment is immeasurable

There's no audio playing

Simon Miller no sound this video please fix

Simon I'm so glad that Ups and Downs exist. Please reassure me that the retro ones will return soon.

Cody in the thumbnail always gets a golden up from me. Same with my man Simon Miller. Thanks for always being awesome.

Am i crazy or is there no audio

The post-match storyline for Samy and the Bloodline... that may be the best thing I've seen in years. I can't recall the last time I heard a pop like that just from a sheer story standpoint. No big entrance. No kick out. Just a choice and a chair and it was the most monstrous pop I've heard.

Always love your work simon. WWE needs to pair you at the commentary table with Pat Macaffey for next years Royal Rumble😆 Ive got to say HHH did a helluva job with the booking, bringing back superstars former characters.. fantastic 😄

I thought that someone would take Rey's spot. I wished that it got addressed. Btw... Jey walking out... I was not surprised. I always had 2020 in the back of my head when it came to Jey's relationship with Roman. I do have to say that oh my gosh, that post match moment is the reason why I watch wrestling.

Killer show. Enjoyed it all. Something for everyone. And the ending had the non wrestling fans, who were over watching, fully invested. Awesome

My friends aren't into wrestling but the ending with sami was so good they audibly gasp and they got interested about the story of the bloodline. Such a great ending to the pay-per-view

I must say, very well done on the post main event, I thought solo would leave with Sammie but absolutely love that it was Jay that couldn't handle what went down. If anything maybe Jimmy but Jay being the one was brilliant.

Love the whole event and some of the matches being short was good to break up the rumbles and the main event . Even though both rumbles the winners were predictable the right ones won and it was a great event way better then last year's . I am excited to see what's next leading to mania

You didn't point out the Simmon give this a up signs....

I liked the pitch black thing. I just sat through a rumble and it was a nice change of pace highlighting the spectacle that is bray wyatt. The 6 on his head, the paint change, the whole howdy firefly moment. IT was like watching a trailer for what is gonna happen with his story

No audio guys!

I just kept thinking during the men's rumble, "what if the New Day music hits a third time?"🤔

I'm surprised the camera cuts weren't another down. They were surprisingly bad this event. One person would be close to getting eliminated and they cut to the other side of the ring. It made no sense.

I was looking forward to this show! Stay up!

The Sami zany section at the end saved the whole rumble. Shocked how the men’s rumble was 1st!!!

Piper vs Snuka... Classic fued reborn

Over 51,000 chanting F you Roman was the best part…👍🏼

Anyone having issues with the audio on this video? Restarted my device 3 times, I get audio on the ads, but not on Simon's video, no subtitles either

Didn't you notice when one of the commentators said a wise man told me there is no one meaner than tamina ?!

No audio! 🤨
