Ranking EVERY Royal Rumble WWE Championship Match From Worst To Best

31. Sheamus Vs Randy Orton - 2010 (WWE Championship)

Royal Rumble

Well received compared to their infamous post-WrestleMania Monday Night Raw match in 2013, this WWE Championship match probably could have done with a bit of audience interaction during the particularly drab sections.

Odd man out in his own title defence, Sheamus was a sideshow compared to the dissent growing between Orton and his Legacy comrades. Having put John Cena through a table a month earlier, a disqualification win here here did nothing to solidify the 'Celtic Warrior's shaky foundations.
