Strangest situation ever. That’s good enough to be a Wrestlemania card.

Are they going to build this up at all on TV? Or is it just random matches?

Wonder if Mahal will beat Hardy to take the US Championship to RAW and The Miz will win I/C Championship and take it to Smackdown. Unless double retains. The Bar is definitely going to lose - I don't think they'll be having another title reign with what's being said about Sheamus. The rest of the matches will be interesting to see what happens. If Lesnar / Reigns get WM34 reception then that's just going to be horrible...again.

I can't remember hearing it anywhere but what does the winner of the 50-Man rumble match get?

Exciting card overall.

I think I read somewhere that one of the WWE International social media pages posted a photo where there was a trophy pictured, presumably for the winner. Doesn’t seem like much so may be more too it, but nothing confirmed AFAIK

Stand alone it seems, which bodes well for the prospects of the Melbourne show if this is anything to go by.

If that card is any indication of the type of card they’ll put together to try draw the big crowds that is promising signs for the Melbourne show

Bit of a joke this really. All these big names, but no build. Why is Rusev wrestling Taker? What beef does Cena have with Triple H? A 50 man rumble for what purpose? A trophy? No one cares about the Andre Battle Royal, why should we care about this?

At least have it progress some storylines (if you can call them that). Just seems like a bunch of matches slapped together for no reason.

Its an interesting card, 2-3 matches that have no bearing on anything whatsoever, just getting big names onto the card and the rumble match but the rest of the card at least has something at stake and is being promoted on TV. Hopefully a sign of the show downunder. That's all you need, some big names to draw interest and majority of the matches having some meaning to draw the regular crowd to think its worth attending, not just another live event.
