8 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE Royal Rumble 2024 (Results & Review)

Downs...

2. Zero Crowd Reaction = Warning Shot

First, the 'Downs'.

WWE must've spotted the almost deafening silence for some of the women (in particular) at the Rumble. Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, Xia Li and several others got pretty much zero response from the live crowd during their entrances. In fairness, people haven't been given a reason to care about them.

This was admittedly less of an issue in the men's match, but that might have something to do with creative penning non-title stories for the dudes. If nothing else, that should be a warning shot to Trips that he needs to step up his game (ahem) on the women's division side. These workers deserve better than they're getting.

Fans shouldn't be sitting on their hands at any point during Rumble matches. Sure, a few entries here or there bring things down before incredible peaks have fans bristling with glee again, but...yeah, yeah that apathy was a little too obvious on Saturday night for some of the female pack.
