WWE announced that Edge & Orton will be the starters of the Rumble for reasons that don't make any sense in kayfabe, by which I mean...there is no reason. It would have been nice if there would have been some kind of backstage something or other whereby Orton drew 1, maybe through Fiend shenanigans???? and then Edge popped up and was like "guess I'll just take the 2 spot then, unless someone else hopes they draw it" and boom, easy peasy.
I know it's hard because of spot planning and all that other junk, but it'd be fun one year to set up two rings and do both Rumbles at the same time. Pandemic time would have been the best time to do it, since doing two rings far enough apart for landing zones would eat into seat space.
No, I do not want them side by side like it's WarGames.
