They discuss WWE being in transition in 2011 with many of their big stars gone and whether Del Rio was a good decision to win the rumble, Michael Cole\u2019s heel commentary, the Miz as WWE Champion at the time, the position of CM Punk, the Nexus, and Dolph Ziggler\u2019s career. They talk about the presentation of the women in 2011 vs. now and how Michelle McCool and others would hold up. They break down the various stories of the rumble match itself including the returns of Booker T and Diesel, Punk and Daniel Bryan #1 and #2, the New Nexus, John Cena\u2019s role with Hornswoggle, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre being acknowledged as friends, the ending sequence with Del Rio and Santino Marella, and protecting people like Cena and Orton. They then head to the 2020 Rumble and discuss Shayna Baszler and her push since, Drew McIntyre and the run-up to the event and story told with Brock Lesnar, and ponder this year\u2019s rumble without fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECT LINK:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/android\/legacyuploads\/wp-media\/2021\/01\/20210115WWETN.mp3\">VIP AUDIO LINK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOT VIP?
