Royal Rumble is an event where 30 men and now, even women compete to get a championship match against the World champion of their choosing. This is why it is said that the Road to Wrestlemania starts from Royal Rumble. Hence, it is evident how important this PPV is.
However, Royal Rumble isn't only important just for the winner. Royal Rumble is often used to introduce new talents as well as build the existing stars.
AJ Styles is one of the best examples of how important a PPV could be for a person even though if he does not win it. Kofi Kingston has a special reputation for pulling off wild moves that would make one jump of its seat.
Each year, fans eagerly wait for this PPV with a lot of expectations. However, a PPV with so many expectations has often failed to live up to the hype. Be it the choice of the winner or lack of surprises, WWE has faced a lot of criticism over the past few years.
This year seems no different. The expectations are high for surprise entrants such as Kenny Omega, Batista or maybe even The Rock.
There are also many strong contenders to win the event and hence the choice of the winner will be also extremely difficult as this is a make or break situation. Let us look at 5 things that we as fans don't want to see in this year's Royal Rumble.
#5 Meaningless entrants
The Royal Rumble PPV has only 30 spots. WWE has more than 70 superstars in Raw and Smackdown Live itself. There will be entrants from NXT and 205 Live as well. Hence, it is very clear that each spot has to be earned.
However, as in the past, WWE has often wasted such spots which could have been utilized for a more deserving wrestler. In 2012, all the three commentators, Booker T, Jerry Lawler, and Michael Cole entered the Rumble.
Other than this, there are also several wrestlers who have often been added to the event without any real purpose. Many spots are often given to legends that don't really have the widest of the appeal.
Hopefully, this time the spots will be better used as there are many wrestlers who could use this PPV to have a great showing.
