WWE Royal Rumble 2019: 8 Things WWE Got Right

5. Replacing R-Truth

Thank you, Nia. Thank you for rushing out to ambush R-Truth as the rapping goof rhymed out of time with his entrance theme, and thank you for replacing him as #30 in what was supposed to be the men's Rumble.

Jax' intrusion was one million times more exciting than Truth's exploits would've been. That cannot be denied; as soon as Truth and Carmella won the Mixed Match Challenge and were confirmed as the final entrants in their respective Rumbles, both #30 spots meant less.

Nia Jax changed that by attacking SmackDown's clown prince and taking his place in the match. After that hot intro, she couldn't lose, and her spots with Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton and others gave the main event some wacky spice that was otherwise missing. As Jerry Lawler might say, it was "bizarro world".

It's doubtful anyone was mega-thrilled to see Truth in the Rumble anyway. He was always only there to make up the numbers, and his delusional comedy had no place that deep into one of the year's most important matches.
