The most predictable Royal Rumble since when Hogan won two years in a row. Didn’t even set up Edge vs AJ Styles at WM. Instead Edge wasn’t even in the Royal Rumble. Then AJ was eliminated by a dude in suspenders. No real surprise entry’s other than Bad Bunni and Shane McMahon. Instead of people that bust their asses and deserve to be there, like Balor and Cesaro. Then Brock predictably won the Rumble by eliminating Drew. Which everyone saw coming. He was number 30 and quickly eliminated everyone and won. What a lazy victory without breaking a sweat. The Women’s Rumble was a way better one. Charlotte at least didn’t win. But Shayne and Rhea were pushed aside so Ronda Rousey could be handed a Rumble win. As soon as she returned. The highlight of the show was Lashley beating Brock. It did unfortunately make it more predictable Brock was winning the Rumble though. Since Roman caused Brock to lose. Brock vs Roman 100 being rumored to being the plans for WM didn’t help either. It’s lazy booking but the marks still love it. So Vince would book it for Mania every year if the marks get excited every time.

I wish I could rate this review higher because the Women seriously killed it this year. The Women's match had the perfect combination of returning stars, returning legends, and current roster additions. Unfortunately the matches prior to the actual Royal Rumble matches weren't very impressive with basic manoeuvres and multiple match interruptions. The Men's Royal Rumble was "Okay" with a few celebrity appearances but it felt extremely predictable and bland with the majority of the superstars they went with this year.

me enjoying this entire event: :) me after seeing other people's reactions: :(

A good match ended in a DQ, a rumble match with the same old legends returning every year with a predicted winner and also another rumble match where there were no surprises and a shitty conclusion. Im bored of seeing WWE becoming Lesnar's bitch! Boring show and not worth a rewatch on any day! 4/10
