I was underwhelmed and disappointed with this year's Royal Rumble. The men's royal rumble was disappointing. The eliminations were sloppy and average. We did not see any shock moments or great athleticism from the superstars, they just mostly did clotheslines to eliminate each other. After all their prep and planning you would think some more entertaining moments could have been executed. Also no surprising or shocking entrants. The Royal Rumble was known for having some great moments. A very sub par performance. The women's royal rumble ended up being better.

The other matches on the card were passable. Probably the best match was the main event with Roman Reigns vs KO. The rivalry and storylines actually felt well developed. Good tensions built up with Sammy Zane and the Bloodline, not the predictable rivalries that feel they were made up 5 minutes ago but a storyline that made sense.

After a few years of pretty poor royal rumble is this maybe not the greatest rumble. But brought up some surprise eliminations a few years of predictable storylines and pretty much a on elevating one superstar, this wasn't the case this year instead the WWE produce some strong Storylines within the rumble itself always think it's a shame to have a main event at royal rumble when the rumble itself should be the main events. The main event itself Kevin Owens versus Roman Reigns had no reason not to take place at the next pay per view. It did nothing to elevate the rumble. I think one match at the start of the night and a second in between the men's and the women's rumble. Would be much better structure to the rumble nights .

WWE has been pretty much a miss with paper views have been very hit or miss as of the past two or three years. And the last two Royal rumbles were pretty disappointing to me, but this year's royal Rumble was great. Both man and Woman's royal Rumble matches were fantastic. Especially there finishes. The Blackout match while remarkably quick was pretty fun to watch and the Bloodline match was an absolute show stealer. The Bianca Belair vs Alexa Bliss match was sadly pretty dull but it wasn't really a bad match. Overall, the booking in this match was incredible and for 90% of the Royal Rumble, I was enjoying it.
