Their road to Mania should start at the beginning of the Royal Rumble Photo Credit: WWE.com It's Twitter Request Line time, everyone! I take to Twitter to get questions about issues in wrestling, past and present, and answer them on here because 140 characters can't restrain me, fool! If you don't know already, follow me @tholzerman , and wait for the call on Wednesday to ask your questions. Hash-tag your questions #TweetBag , and look for the bag to drop Thursday afternoon (most of the time). Without further ado, here are your questions and my answers: Which wrestlers should enter at 1, 2 and 30 for both the men�s and women�s Royal Rumbles? #TweetBag � Star of Savage (@StarOfSavage) January 10, 2018 MEN'S: One and two should be Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, fresh off their unsuccessful attempt at winning the WWE Championship in a joint effort from AJ Styles.

Cien: Pfft.  Of course I am.  Like it was ever in doubt. Zelina: You got something on your brow, babe. Cien: dabs lightly before holding up the belt a few more times Alexander Wolfe's Takeover Induced Head Scars: take up the screen for a few seconds Eric Young: We are full of restless nights and unfinished business.  WarGames was as beautiful as we thought it would be; while the outcome was not ideal we have yet to leave the battlefield.  We're still here.  We will finish what we started in Houston next week...

Who's one more (hopefully kick-ass) match away from being number one contender? Photo Credit: WWE.com Master Regal: Welcome to NXT.  With Drew McIntyre out due to injury, an opportunity has opened up in the #1 contendership to face our new champion, Andrade "Cien" Almas, in Philadelphia at our next Takeover. There will be four qualifying singles matches and then a fatal four way, the winner of which will get the title shot in Philadelphia. Tonight, the first two of those occur as Killian Dain faces Trent Seven and Kassius Ohno... well, he was supposed to face the Velveteen Dream, who is still injured.  But he will face a worthy competitor nevertheless tonight.  Best of luck to all the competitors. Zelina Vega and Andrade "Cien" Almas: swag their way out Full Sailors: split reaction Zerlina: You are all witnesses to the beginning of a historical championship reign! Full Sailors: see earlier Zelina: Respect the man...embrace the legend...rise for your NXT Champion...

Street Profits: stir it up and gyrate, respectively Riddick Moss and Tino Sabotelli: get heat by being alive, more or less, which is actually a big compliment Angelo Dawkins: gets a couple of waistlock takedowns Small But Loud San Antonio Crowd: One more time!  One more time! AD: obliges Montez Ford: yelps happily from the apron , tags in in a bit and gets assisted on his standing moonsault Tino: blind tags in and lays him out Crowd: BOOOO Montez: nips up and lands a sweet dropkick, Angelo comes in to help him get rid of Riddick with the Midnight Express double flapjack, then back from the break soccer kicks Moss from the apron Tino: charges the distracted Ford and sends him into the barrier then grou...

The Era eked out the W to close a stellar show Photo Credit: WWE.com Results, stray thoughts, and takeaways Holzerman style from the Clutch City hosted iteration of Takeover just as soon as I note I was on the Patrick Clark Bandwagon half a year ago. .. Results: Lars Sullivan pinned Kassius Ohno after the Freak Accident side spinebuster. Aleister Black pinned Velveteen Dream following a Black Mass...but did say his name after the match. Ember Moon won the vacant NXT Women's World Championship and became the sixth different woman to earn that honor by pinning Nikki Cross after an Eclipse that also felled Peyton Royce. Andrade "Cien" Almas became the 12th different man to win the NXT World Championship, pinning Drew McIntyre after Zerlina Vega snuck in for a basement rana driver and he followed up with a rope-hung version of his hammerlock DDT. the Undisputed Era beat SAnitY as well as the team of Roderick Strong and the Authors of Pain when Adam Cole (BAY BAY) pinned Eric ...
