The Royal Rumble 2016 card is a little light going in, with the one hour Royal Rumble WWE Title match being the only real draw. There's only four other main card matches, with all of them being rematches. WWE can get away with that kind of booking at this time of year, as the Rumble to 'Mania season sells itself. The Royal Rumble brand is over, meaning fans buy the event based on past experiences/perceptions. The question of "who will go on to main event WrestleMania" is always an exciting one, and by making this year's Rumble bout Roman Reigns' title defence, the one hour contest is even more intriguing. And even though the undercard is light, it could still end up exceeding expectations. In particular, Dean Ambrose versus Kevin Owens could end up stealing the show in the Last Man Standing Intercontinental Title match. There's also Charlotte versus Becky Lynch which (if given enough time) could live up the standards they set in NXT. New Day versus The Usos, and Alberto Del Rio versus Kalisto round off the main card, while The Dudleys versus The Ascension versus Jack Swagger & Mark Henry versus Darren Young and Damien Sandow will take place on the pre-show. That's the card, and here are the results to expect.
