Becky is far more over than Seth and got far more of a reaction winning.
Like c'mon, you can't just have the main event end with the men because Triple H's boy is winning it.

Woman's rumble ended the show last year, and they also probably wanted to have the Becky feel-good carry the crowd through the rest. It definitely got more good will out of the crowd than they otherwise may have had.

Seth and Lesnar are probably mid-carding Wrestlemania to the women this year, so it makes sense to make Rollins winning seem like a bigger deal by making it the main event of the RR.

They probably thought the Women's Rumble was going to be a much worse overall match compared to the Men's.

Women ended last year
Also the women this year was f***ing long and it felt like the first 40 mins dragged. They did a much better job with the 2nd half but they were right to put them on first
The men went at a brisk pace and had action throughout the whole thing. You would have killed the crowd with that first half the way the women was booked

They wanted a good reaction for Becky.
The crowd, and the commentary, was a bit exhausted by the end.

That was my thought. They were stuck with this idea of Nia entering the Men’s Rumble to do what Becky did. Otherwise, The Man winning the Rumble to end the show was the call to go with. |

The result was main event worthy. But I’m not sure the match itself was. If you didn’t it watch NXT, that was a parade of who’s that?

I felt both Rumbles were pretty NXT heavy... which is nice but then they go back to where they came from and we don’t see them on the main roster for another year. So it’s a nice showing but unless one of these guys get an upset win what’s the point. Granted we had Angle, JJ, and Maria. But I would have been fine with another legend, or even some personal favorite like Rhyno. Hell what happened to EC3 they made a huge deal about getting called up and they forgot to use him. At least Cross and Evans looked like stars out there. |

There was no time for them to slow things down so something almost always had to be happening. |

You could buy 10-12 picks in the men rumble having a legit shot of winning and going to mania meanwhile a lot of the women shown were low on the totem pole and things didn't get interesting until second half of the rumble picked up

Yeah, I sadly don't get NXT so I recognized some names from here but there was a still a bit of 'who?' It didn't help that most of their better talent didn't show up until 15 or later though. Lacey was a wet fart and was in there forever. |

The women's rumble was really bad until the very end. It had an extended spot between Maria and Alicia arguing over a hat.
It also featured Candace LeRae. A person that has wrestled on NXT like twice.

Lacey was a wet fart and was in there forever. Some of the women they showed on NXT has hardly been on NXT TV to get an audience which includes Io who is great but she's still in the new phase. Kacy looked good, Xia Li brought some much needed intensity to the early match as well |

So why, of all the people you could've used to help showcase Xia, why Tamina? |
