Back in 2014, one of the first shows to launch on the WWE Network was WrestleMania Rewind, an inside look at some of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history. While there's plenty of matches left to discuss for a second and third season of WrestleMania Rewind, the company should create a spin-off, if you will, and look to feature matches from additional PPV events like the Royal Rumble.

WWE has a great history of exciting PPVs, aside from just WrestleMania, and while the Showcase of the Immortals gets most of the attention, events like Survivor Series, SummerSlam, and the Royal Rumble were what the company's foundation was built upon.

Who could forget the first time the WWE Championship was defended at the Royal Rumble when Sgt. Slaughter dethroned The Ultimate Warrior, thanks to the Macho King and Sensational Queen Sherri, in 1991? Or how about the first time a man entered the Rumble at #1 and went all the way to the end in 1995?

The WrestleMania Rewind show was one of the better concepts WWE had come up with for their network launch in 2014. In 2016, it's time to take that same thinking, tweak it, and expand it to include the vast history of WWE PPVs like the Royal Rumble.
