15 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2018
11. The Greatest Royal Rumble (WWE Greatest Royal Rumble)
A banter match on a banter show (before WWE topped themselves on both counts in the sequel - more on that later), the Greatest Royal Rumble was a head-scratching pile of sh*te that moved so quickly that it was impossible to get bogged down in its awfulness.
It was literally the biggest Royal Rumble match ever - Daniel Bryan went coast-to-coast in the 50-man thing only to get tossed out by a since-fired Big Cass after 76 minutes. Total stranger Hiroki Sumi was allegedly inserted because some Saudi lads asked for Yokozuna. Braun Strowman won a massive green title belt by outlasting the field. Titus O’Neil FELL ON HIS FACE, COREY, WE GOTTA TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT!
O’Neil’s banter moment was at least on brand, though that probably didn’t save his blushes.
The contest was effectively the biggest and stupidest thing the company could come up with, and - if they absolutely must return there next April - here’s hoping they do it again. The chaos in the match was probably one of the only things about either event that could generously classified as harmless.
