Royal Rumble 2018 is in the books now, and boy, what an event it was! After years of disappointing finishes to the Rumble matches, WWE finally did the right thing, with fan favourites Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka winning the Men's and Women's Rumble matches respectively. The response that each of their victories generated was enough to assure that WWE has finally managed to present a successful Royal Rumble event. Surprise returns from NXT superstars and WWE Legends were the other highlights of the Royal Rumble PPV along with Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles successfully defending their Universal and WWE Titles respectively.
The Rumble matches have a history of memorable performances by superstars every year, and this year was no exception, with both the men and women pulling out all the stops.
