WWE Royal Rumble 2022: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best
2. Women's Royal Rumble
Result: Ronda Rousey wins by throwing Charlotte Flair out (59:40).
Rating: This was a totally forgettable, nothing Royal Rumble match that offered desperately little in the way of memorable, creative spots or even basic surprises.
Between the blatantly thin roster, snoozy pace, and generally low-energy execution, this is the exact opposite of what a Royal Rumble match should be. In its ordinariness it just devalues the match's prestige.
Ronda's presence was exactly what everybody expected, and while they respectably didn't draw out the final showdown with Charlotte, it was maddening to see a part-timer who didn't need the win get handed it on a silver platter.
There were a few amusing highlights - Nikki attacking Molly Holly, Ivory's whole show-stealing spot - but overall this was easily the worst of the women's Rumble matches to date. At least it was better than the men's. 5/10
