5 craziest things from the Royal Rumble
We have finally had the 2018 edition of the Royal Rumble, with both men and women's matches having talking points aplenty, returning legends and crazy spots. With Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka making it a clean sweep for Japanese wrestling across both Rumble matches, and both AJ Styles and Brock Lesner retaining in their respective men's World Championship matches. There were some fully crazy moments from last nights show, however, with plenty of honorable mentions:
#5 Lita
With so many slots up for grabs in the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match, there was a high chance of there being surprise entrants. As many of the women from previous years would have been around the WWE since Raw 25 on Monday, it was odd that Lita was not involved in the show at all. This confusion was further enhanced by Lita commenting on the absence herself and saying she didn't know why she had not been included.
Fast forward 6 days and #5 entrant's music hits the speakers and the former WWE women's champion Lita runs out of the curtain to the delight of the watching Philadelphia crowd. Lita retired over 10 years ago with neck injuries and for her to return and go on to eliminate two current superstars as well as perform her signature top turnbuckle moonsault, it was an exciting and strong appearance.
