On the much rumored possibility that Kenny Omega could be entering the Royal Rumble:

BA: Here’s my thing with Kenny Omega. He’s one of the greatest wrestlers I’ve seen in years. Absolutely incredible. I’m wondering if enough of the main stream fans who don’t follow New Japan or the independent scene, the WWE fans, I wonder if they’ll know who he is if he is indeed in the Royal Rumble.

On this year’s Royal Rumble:

JL: I’ve looked at Royal Rumbles in the past. I’m kind of famous for having to change my pick throughout the Rumble match. This year it is almost impossible. I think it’s just crazy to even hazard a guess at this point. There are so many participants in the Rumble this year that are can’t miss. How can you think that Brock Lesnar could not win the Royal Rumble? How can you think that Bill Goldberg can’t win the Rumble? How could you think that The Undertaker can’t win? Think of all the surprise entrants! Braun Strowman! There’s so many people that you look at and think, “They gotta win.” In reality only ONE PERSON, ONE SUPERSTAR can win the Royal Rumble. To me it looks like one of the most exciting Rumbles in years.

On who Lawler’s current pick to win the Royal Rumble match is:

JL: The Undertaker.
