The ROil Rumble has been pretty good so far IMO.
The women's Rumble started out slow and was disappointingly lacking in surprises. Kind of amusing that Daniel Bryan was probably the most over person in the match. But once it got down to number 30 and I still had no clue who would win I got interested. It was a bit odd to have about half the field remaining at the end. It resulted in a boring first half but the second half had some pretty good spots and good intrigue. One of the better female rumbles in recent memory.
AJ vs Gunther was a match of the year candidate for me. Genuine stakes and two great performers. I kind of thought they were going to find some wiggle room to let AJ Styles continue, but it was a squeaky clean loss. Gonna be hard to explain if he wants to keep wrestling elsewhere. But at least AJ went out on a great match.
Sami Zayn vs Drew was also a good match with an underdog story. I had moments of doubt but never truly believed in Sami winning. Still a good match, but a bit of an odd choice to have two heartbreaking finishes back to back. I guess this means a big babyface win for the men's rumble?
