4 reasons why WWE Royal Rumble 2019 might underwhelm

The most unpredictable WWE pay-per-view of all time, Royal Rumble, is scheduled to take place this Sunday, and the match card for the event is as follows -

Men's Royal Rumble match
30 Woman Royal Rumble match
Universal Championship - Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Finn Balor
WWE Championship - Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles
Raw Women's Championship - Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Sasha Banks
SmackDown Women's Championship - Asuka (c) vs. Becky Lynch

United States Championship - Rusev (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (Kickoff show)
Cruiserweight Championship - Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Kalisto vs. Akira Tozawa vs. Hideo Itami (Kickoff show)

The match card looks stacked, but there are 4 big reasons why the WWE Royal Rumble might disappoint the fans.

#1 Poor booking of the #30 slot of both Royal Rumble matches

That's how you book the most coveted spot of the Royal Rumble match

The #30 position of the Royal Rumble match is supposed to be the best position to enter the match, as a lot of superstars inside the ring are tired, and the #30 entrant is the freshest one in the ring.

WWE has used this spot to make surprise returns and debuts. Last year, we saw Dolph Ziggler make his WWE return at #30, as well as Trish Stratus making her return to the ring at #30 in the Women's Royal Rumble.

However, this time the WWE has revealed the last entrants beforehand, and much to the disappointment of fans, 2 lower-card superstars in R-Truth and Carmella will enter the match last. This revelation has killed half the excitement for the match, as fans know neither will win.
