My thoughts on the Royal Rumble:
The Prelim matches were ok. I like how RR defeated Corbin. It would've been better though if the other teams didn't interfere. Interesting fact is that the Uso's are cousins with RR. If you watch Hobbs & Shaw movie, Reigns is in that, and The Rock always references the term 'Uso' in the movie. They bring a little bit of WWE into that movie with the moves they do lol.
I'm not surprised that Charlotte won the women's RR. It tells you how out of touch WWE is with storylines. She's like Brock Lesnar... they give them everything even tough there are far more talented wrestlers in the company. A LOT of the wrestlers in the women's who came out I hadn't heard of before. Bianca Belair was impressive. I liked the look of the green haired woman... she was pretty good. I lost count of how many blondies were in it though, but Mandy, Liv and Alexa Bliss were head and shoulders above the others. There was also room for the Iconics and Sasha Banks in the contest.
Bayley vs Lacey was meh. I don't like this heel Bayley... she's so boring. I couldn't believe how much Lacey is like Liberty Bell (character in GLOW on Netflix) - both are women wrestlers, both are mothers, both have southern accents both are blonde, both are patriotic. I reckon Lacey's been built of the Liberty Bell character.
I actually fell asleep during the strap match LOL. I woke up and it was over, but it was quite boring as they didn't let DB use most of his moves and quickness. So for me... it literally was a snore fest.
Becky beating Asuka was pretty predictable. Becky will lose the title at WrestleMania though I THINK as she won it at WM last year... so it's been a long time. No doubt they'll give it to Charlotte the glory whore.
Men's RR... where the fuck do I start. That was DISAPPOINTING. So the RR is MY FAVORITE PPV event. I like the ring to be filled with wrestlers - like 10-15 so you don't know what's going to happen next. That didn't happen this year. Brock just kept on eliminating wrestler after wrestler. When Brawn and Keith Lee (another guy I hadn't heard of prior to watching it) came in, it actually looked like it was going to be interesting... then when he eliminated them both, I just faced palmed myself. I was glad when Drew came out. The rest of the RR was pretty boring until Edge came back. That was good. Then when Seth Rollins came out with his crew, it was really good. They saved him from bring eliminated, then cleaned house a bit, then all those they eliminated drove the crew out back... then Seth got rag dolled out lol - props for that. I'm not happy that Buddy Murphy turned heel though, he's our only male Aussie in the business. When it came down to Reigns, Edge, Orton and Drew, I knew how it was going to end. Edge is retired and has already won a rumble, Orton has won 2 rumbles, Reigns won one recently as well and dominated it in recent years, so he was out. It was always going to be Drew.
Overall not a bad ending but it has A LOT of room for improvement.
