To be fair, why would WWE want to give free promotion to a rival promotion by having someone sit at ringside within camera view the entire night?
They did the same thing in the 90s with fans trying to wear WCW shirts at ringside.

It's crazy how over Becky Lynch is, she's at Daniel Bryan's level during his yes movement. She's not at the Rock and Stone Cold level yet.
That's what happens when the fans choose who they want to get behind and the company runs with it. They gotta learn that they can only manufacture fan favorites to a degree. After that its up to the talent to get themselves accepted.
A few things.......
Nia Jax and R Truth agreed to what we down.
I can fault WWE for a lot of things....but I can't blame them for co-signing what went down.
And there's no doubt that there's racism in pro wrestling......but to be a female in the rumble is a honor regardless if you take a ass whooping.

Naw I never said it was a first.....I’m saying it’s rare and it’s not looked at as a insult to be in matches with men especially in today’s time. It was nothing for men to fight women in the attitude era. That’s how I viewed it anyway. They are more open about their racism than having her fight in the rumble......
Black wrestling fans are common. It would be between hockey and nascar....and I don’t even know anyone who watches those sports to even say who watches it the most lol.
All the black wrestlers in WWE need to start a movement, hashtag, something to get some respect just like all the (white) women did. Shit is absolutely ridiculous. It's always the same thing. Their characters just wanna dance, party and have a good time. Kofi does his usual spot every year at the Rumble, but never serious about winning anything. It's practically a minstrel show at this point.
The funny thing is that people will say well wrestling is mostly white people so we cater to our audience. But you'll constantly see black folks cheer for white wrestlers, so what does that say about white audiences for that excuse?
OKAY SOMEONE FROM WWE IS DEFINITELY LURKING HERE!!!!
Motherfuckers.....
Hockey and Nascar? What's that? Lol
I've never had any interest in either not will I, but I do have a couple of friends that do like it Nascar

My money is on Nascar fans. Coming from Detroit a lot of my family are Red Wing fans. When I moved to Illinois you have a lot of cats that are Blackhawk fans, but that is just my little bubble. The only black Nascar fan I know of is MURS.
I would say NASCAR fans. Why would you even think black wrestling fans are rare?
I know what you were getting at. Just wanted to revisit the women who were in the Rumble. The fact that they did it in today's age of political correctness & having sponsors along with the "Be A Star" other awareness campaigns is odd.
Dean Ambrose, a main event wrestler for WWE since debuting with The Shield in 2012, has given his notice to WWE that he will be finishing up when his current contract expires at the end of April, according to three PWTorch sources. He broke the news to management this weekend, including directly in a meeting with Vince McMahon, after being offered a new contract and a raise weeks ago.
He is expected to finish up shortly after WrestleMania, although it’s possible WWE would write him out of storylines sooner. This could explain why he was rather unceremoniously eliminated from the Royal Rumble on Sunday night and did a clean job to Seth Rollins on TV on Raw last night.
Sources tell PWTorch that Ambrose has been long frustrated with the creative direction of his character and reached a breaking point recently. He’s indicated to WWE management this weekend he’s not interested in negotiating further and made it clear this isn’t about trying to get more money. One of his colleagues on the roster, when asked tonight about Dean’s demeanor lately and if there were any signs of discontent, said “he’s pretty much impossible to read.” He added, though, that Dean “hates hokey sh–” and, since so much of his character has been portrayed as hokey in the last few years, he’s not surprised that would have built up frustration leading to a breaking point.
Top management in WWE and a small circle of friends of Dean knew about his decision this weekend, but it wasn’t well known at the Rumble or Raw among most of his colleagues.

Lol
I wonder how much of this is negotiation on his part? Have more say about his creative direction and make him one of the highest paid in the company?
Yeah because we aren’t going to get more matches like these. To me all this does at best may be allow for man on woman matches once a year at a big Ppv like mania.
Article says its not a negotiation ploy. He's legitimately fed up. I said about two weeks ago they wasted his heel turn.
I feel like I heard this with Ziggler prior to him signing for 7 figures.
It’s what I expect from these guys man. It’s kine NFL guys. They want to keep getting checks.
Don't be so sure.
Royal Rumble was on the 27th.
This video was posted to YouTube on the 26th. We all saw Dolph Ziggler compete in the Rumble. He probably signed another deal just after that interview was completed, or played coy, and showed up at he Rumble under a new deal.
