I'm a little bit behind on WWE PPV's and i'd read that this years Rumble was terrible. I think people need to calm down because despite some bad booking this was a fine show.
Brock Lesnar VS Bobby Lashley for the WWE championship was excellent. I always enjoy watching Lesnar, it's just fun seeing him wreck dudes and Lashley is a beast. It was cool to see someone actually look like Lesnar's equal for a change.
Roman Reigns VS Seth Rollins was my match of the night. Seth shows again why he is one of the best wrestlers in the world and Regins is still an awesome powerhouse heel. I would have liked to see Rollins win this though because Roman's title reign needs to end.
The men's Rumble match was decent with pretty much everyone you can think of getting involved. Frustrating and annoying to see guys as talented as Shinsuke Nakamura and Bobby Roode getting eliminated so early and easily for seemingly no reason. Do the WWE bookers not listen to the massive crowd reaction these guys get?
I also wish they would stop having Lesnar make overwise powerful wrestlers look like geeks.
The women's Rumble match was good too but suffered from the same weird booking. Why was Sasha Banks out so soon yet jobbers like Niki Ash are in for most of the duration?
Becky Lynch VS Doudrop was terrible. Lynch is so good yet she struggled to get a decent match out of Doudrop, i'm sure she's a nice person in RL but she can not wrestle. Lynch VS Sasha Banks or Liv Morgan would have been so much better.
This does not deserve such a low score, i'd give it a solid 7/10.
