WWE: Royal Rumble

It&apos;s ok

The two major men&apos;s championship matches were problematc for differing reasons. One of them was way too short; and shouldn&apos;t have been booked in the first place. The other had two or three really good moments, but at times it did drag a little; and there were a couple of botches which made for an anticlimactic finish. The women&apos;s championship match wasn&apos;t good, but it wasn&apos;t bad either. It was just there. The women&apos;s rumble was extremely entertaining for the most part; although disrespectful shananigans with the 24/7 crew and an unwelcome appearance from the Nature Boy. The men&apos;s rumble was very problematic. There was an overaching storyline that was too predictable. The quality of wrestling involved was nothing special. A couple of eliminations by somebody that wasn&apos;t involved in the match was frustrating. The lack of gimmicks or comic relief left the match feelinga little dull. The surprise entrants weren&apos;t all that exciting. The worst thing about the 2021 Royal Rumble however was that it was almost 4 hours long; partly due to random segments with the kickoff show panel, as well as a terrible musical performance from some complete random guy called Bad Bunny (that the commentators put across as if he were the biggest star in the world).

After the brilliance of the TLC PPV last month it actually hurts a little that WWE in 2021 has started somewhat poorly. At least we have an NXT TakeOver in a couple of weeks. They&apos;re always good!
