Ranking EVERY WWE Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View From Worst To Best
19. 2013
The Good: 2013's undercard was far superior than the titular main event and arguably The Rock's return to the headline role, though absolutely none of it mattered in the long term. Team Hell No's match with The Rhodes Scholars and Alberto Del Rio's World Championship retention against The Big Show were both belters, even if the characters themselves were mostly wading in treacle. The only thing that really mattered was the WWE Championship - and even the man walking into the event wearing it was largely forgotten when it went off the air.
The Bad: Predictable to a fault, the WrestleMania logo may as well have had John Cena's name etched on it rather than the New York/New Jersey initials. The main event rematch with The Rock was nailed on, despite CM Punk's best efforts to chip away at Vince McMahon's instincts.
The Ugly: The Rock/CM Punk match was a disappointment, but the false finish was the only significant blemish worthy of inclusion all night. Punk getting a visual win may have helped set up a rematch, but even as a token gesture from Vince McMahon to 'The Voice Of The Voiceless' in eventual defeat, it was rather empty.
