WWE often tries to do comedy in a Royal Rumble match. It might be a dance-off or a goofy elimination, but a lot of times, it ruins the flow of the match and just leaves you scratching your head.

Case in point, we saw Maria Kanellis try to form an alliance with everyone’s favorite basket case, Alicia Fox. They briefly teamed up, but then Maria went behind Fox’s back, grabbed her “captain’s” hat, and stomped it. Fox then threw a temper-tantrum because that’s what grown women do.

Foxy managed to eliminate Maria to get a measure of revenge, but really, the less said here, the better.
