W2M EP 178: Royal Rumble Expectations, Shinsuke Nakamura & the IWGP IC Title, & More

This week on W2M, we discuss the leading candidates for the WWE Royal Rumble, who could realistically win, who could be some dark horses, and who’s definitely not winning as well. Is HHH vs. Roman Reigns the right main event for Wrestlemania 32, We also continue with what seems to be a never ending story of Shinsuke Nakamura. Could he appear at Wrestlemania 32? Will he fit well into the WWE system? And is it good or bad that New Japan stripped him of the Intercontinental Title. Does it hurt Kenny Omega that they didn’t let him get the win on Nakamura? Of course, we start things by discussing the wrestling news in “Quick Hits,” Rocky Romero, Bad Luck Fale re-sign with NJPW, Paige injured, Sister Abigail possibly being real, Sunny selling her Hall of Fame ring, Vince not liking Tyler Breeze, Sting in the WWE Hall of Fame and a whole lot more. We move on to answer our questions about WWE RAW, Sean also interweaves his thoughts about this week's WWE SmackDown in there too. Since NXT finally returned this week, we get to talk about that as well. Then we finish out with a look at this week’s ROH TV, we discuss Impact on POP TV, and our W2M Power Rankings (yes, we are actually ranking them this year.)(8:54-24:35) Discuss Shinsuke Nakamura being stripped of the IWGP IC Belt, coming to WWE, and Bad Luck Fale and Rocky Romero re-signing with NJPW.
