The Royal Rumble pay-per-view has finally happened. We saw a lot of things on the show, and there is no doubt some shocked the fans.

This is one of the most amazing PPVs of the WWE, and this is why the company tried to make it memorable. In the event, we saw different avatars of WWE Superstars, and this included Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Finn Balor.

There were many moments that made the fans happy, but some of them however, possibly made the fans disappointed. In this article, we take a look at 4 such moments.


#4 Shinsuke Nakamura wins the United States Championship

Shinsuke Nakamura won last year's men's Royal Rumble match by eliminating Roman Reigns. He then decided to face AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. However, he didn't win the championship, and also turned heel at Mania.

Since then, his career became stale, and even though he won the US Championship at Extreme Rules, WWE failed to revive his career.

The company started to use him less frequently on SmackDown, and recently he lost his championship against Rusev. However, at the Royal Rumble, he again won the title. WWE has already hurt the title a lot under his reign, and it's a questionable decision making him champion again.


#3 Nia Jax enters at #30

I just want to ask one thing, what's wrong with the WWE?

I mean, they already did a lot of weird things in the past, but this time they crossed the limits.

Nia Jax is a female, and we know she can't participate in the men's Royal Rumble match, but she did exactly this!

She attacked the number 30 entrant, R-truth, before he could enter the match and then eliminated a superstar like Mustafa Ali from the Royal Rumble match.

After that, Mysterio, Orton, and Ziggler attacked and eliminated her. Nobody would have thought that something like this could even happen at the Royal Rumble PPV, as the WWE stopped doing inter-gender matches a long time ago.

It wouldn't be wrong to say this was the worst thing to happen on the show.
