Charlotte vs. Bayley - Didn't expect anything big from this but it still was a very solid match. Good way to open the show imo.
Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens - I really enjoyed this one, it was a really good match. Reigns proved again that he doesn't deserve all the hate and all the bumps Owens suffered in the match were good too. Only the Braun Strowman ending kind of sucked a bit because it was another screw job for a world title match in a PPV.
Rich Swann vs. Neville - Good to see Neville winning the belt, he completely deserves it. It was a good match imo, I hope we can look forward to a long reign with Neville. Cruiserweight division should be very interesting now!
John Cena vs. AJ Styles - Amazing match! Styles and Cena had again the match of the night and it's probably a match of the year candidate! Both Cena and Styles looked great in this match and the ending with the 2 AA's was great too! Cena finally wins his well deserved 16th world championship, good job!
Royal Rumble Match - This one is a little bit disappointing for me. Sure, I think Randy Orton was great choice to win this but where were all the surprise entries? It should have been the match where Samoa Joe debuted (just like AJ Styles did last year). Only Tye Dillinger as a surprise entry is very weak imo. I also missed the Cruiserweights, why no TJ Perkins or The Brian Kendrick as entries? Same with the UK superstarts, imagine how awesome it would have been to see Tyler Bate as a surprise entry. Putting the 3 big names (Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker) as the last entries was disappointing too, in the end most people only watched the Royal Rumble to see them. I know they are not the youngest competitors anymore, but lasting only 5 minutes is disappointing for the fans. Roman Reigns as #30 was the ultimate troll move from WWE, I don't know how to feel about this. lol The Kofi Kingston save this year was very underwhelming too, probably the worst one of his memorable rumble saves.
Overall I would rate this PPV with 6.5/10.
With a better rumble match it could have been something like 7-8/10.
