10 Problems WWE MUST Solve Before Royal Rumble 2022
5. A Compelling Rumble Title Programme
The Royal Rumble match offers a unique opportunity for any champion walking into the event. It means they can have a showcase match that could, potentially, elevate a new star. Hardcore Holly in 2004, AJ Styles in 2017 and Finn Balor in 2019 showcased that they were ready for bigger and better things.
Most of the major stars will be slotted into the Rumble match itself so it’s the perfect time to have a midcard star fight for the title. Stars like Ricochet, Angel Garza or Apollo Crews could all slot into a title programme for the Pay Per View.
Granted, WWE likes to load their shows with as much talent as possible and have big match after big match. However, the Royal Rumble offers a unique opportunity to potentially make a new star! WWE's rosters are drastically lacking in star power and a potential way to make new ones is to put them over in defeat. Even though Finn Balor came up short in 2019, Brock Lesnar did everything he could to make him look like a star.
