Ranking EVERY WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
32. Greatest Royal Rumble
The Good: John Cena and Triple H's contemporary take on an old Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior classic was predictably well-recieved by the wrestling-starved crowd. Daniel Bryan's 76:05 stint in the 50-man main event was a Rumble record, but the rest of the contest committed very little else to memory other than the subversively cathartic sight of Titus O'Neil falling flat on his face.
The Bad: Almost all of the undercard was pitiful filler. The Undertaker tarnished his legacy further with an extended squash of Rusev, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar sh*t things up in a cage, AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura disappointed again, whilst Jinder Mahal's match with Jeff Hardy contained one of the most embarrassing botches of the year from the 'Modern Day Maharaja'.
The Ugly: The mere existence of the event made the whole experience rather unpleasant, with WWE's women's roster unable to work the event whatsoever, despite Michael Cole's forced platitudes about the changing attitudes of a nation. WWE's deal with Saudi Arabia tiptoed towards even murkier territory later that year.
