Maybe Lethal for Okada's opponent then?

Gonna laugh if the Nakamura remix translates to bunch of rednecks singing Japanese over time.
WOR saying the GRR might have a one hour intermission for prayer, lulz
WWE has been doing house shows there for awhile now honestly, just for whatever reason (well we know why, $$$) this one is getting blown way the fuck up.
And at current no there hasn't been any kind of reward for winning announced.
Been hearing rumors that Sasha Banks is in a bit of hot water over how she's been acting at fan events, supposedly having a bit of an attitude problem. Seriously hope it's not true and it's just dirt sheets digging.
I wonder what Gedo and Kidani think of Lance Archer stomping through the stands, spitting 10 bottles of water on fans, getting in the faces of small children making them cry (while their parents smile and cheer), and constantly saying EVERYBODY DIES.
That mid-show hour long legends panel is going to be amazing! So, do you have a cooldown match before the break, or have like a part 1 main event? It's not like it's a 15 minute break, so I am just kind of curious how they're going to lay out a card. What point in the show timewise/match # would that even be? How about booking just an event that would take a reasonable amount of time?
The best part is when the parents are hysterically laughing when their kids are getting absolutely terrified. Archer's whole act is disgusting, but I can't help but laugh my ass off at how ridiculous he is with it. On the other hand, Iizuka is relatively harmless, but whenever I see his entrance, I can't stand it. Apparently it's a new Bone Soldier that's returning, but I'd take the old Bone Soldier/Captain fooking New Japan over this guy.
So there will be a prayer break but only 15 minutes and those watching on the network shouldn’t even notice it.
Looking at the timing of the start of the show, that break is probably going to start around 1:10 into it. Guess they can use that time to hype Camp WWE... and hopefully the "post-prayer pop the crowd match" is something that actually has a build so it's not mostly filler. IC title could work, since if all else fails, let Miz (or Joe) run his mouth. WWE title also would be a good option too, though people would bitch about them getting buried for going on so early.
The 7pm local (noon EDT) start time is just when the actual event starts, right? Is there even a kickoff/preshow or anything? There are 9 matches and the rumble match, but this is still a long show. Are we going to have the Traditional HHH Vanity Match, which ends up being nearly 30min and the longest match on the card (besides the Rumble)?
So, don't expect anyone to be the "Iron Man" of the Rumble match and go an hour tonight. Reminder they are in an open air stadium in the desert where it's really hot.
Will I be able to watch from the beginning on the Network like PPVs? On my way to see Infinity War first, going to miss half of this live.

Jim Cornette was on Jerry Lawler's podcast this week and Cornette asked how much WWE was getting paid for this because he'd heard many different rumors. Lawler indicated that it was a huge amount, around the number $200 million. Lawler also said the female talent would be getting a "considerable" pay day for the event despite not being able to attend the show.
So now that I think about it, with the Rusev vs Taker match, has Taker ever won a casket match? I know he lost his first one in WWF/E against Yokozuna, and I could have sworn he's lost others as well.
11-3. Wow didn't realize he did so many in the mid/late 90's

He's like 11-4-1 in them. Mmmm, that sweet build to the Cena-HHH "grudge match" using promos that are several years old when they mention each other's names and patch it together to act like it's meaningful for this.
UH OH LITTLE GIRLS FOR THE CENA ENTRANCE!! SAUDI GETTING MAD!!
Is HHH/Cena the first match?
Wow PYRO!!!
Also, not counting house shows, i always thought he won more than 11. Damn that's crazy tbh, i saw him manhandle mankind in a casket match in a house show when i was little, Foley even did the hangman getting his neck caught between the ropes, that shit looked scary, considering that's how he lost his ear in WCW.
Those chairs in the front rows look comfy as fuck.
