I think both were as perfect as they could have been with what storylines have been going on rn. Plus, in the case of the main event, it wasn't Drew or Strowman so I'm f***ing good.

I loved both Rumbles and loved both winners.
The overarching theme on Raw was “HOW IS BRAUN GOING TO GET HIS MATCH WITH LESNAR NOW?!” Once he got announced as Cena’s replacement, I figured it’d be a predictable thing of a cooled off Strowman winning the rumble and slaying the beast, rather than the person that’s been hot for a long time now in Seth Rollins. Hell, the crowd weren’t feeling Braun whatsoever as the winner when it came down to the final four.
I’m personally glad that they gave the wins to two people who deserve it more than anyone else on that roster. It helps that both rumbles had fun spots and got everyone’s shit in to showcase their talent.
Don’t mind either winning at Mania either.

Whether it be the company’s fault or Braun’s, that stadium did not want Strowman winning. I heard the boos, shit was wild lol

I didn't give a shit by the end of the women's Rumble.
I didn't give a shit by the end of the men's Rumble.

Perfectly fine. Predictable as f***, sure, but they were the people that most wanted to win and made the most sense, why not go with that?

Plus, I think everyone figured he would win as 1) he’s tall and unbeatable and 2) the main theme of Raw has been more or less about Strowman slaying the beast and defying Vince.

Both winners were what people wanted so YAY
Seth is going to Mania clear and free
Becky on the other hand not so much just because they are gonna screw with her not getting an official go ahead from someone like a HHH , Vince etc they are more than likely gonna redo it on SD...and then pull the Bret and luger finish

That was part of what had me worried when he got pulled from the title match, and yeah, that crowd would have been pissed had Braun won. Maybe not as bad as some year but it would not have been pretty.

Exactly, company’s fault or not, I do not need to see Lesnar fighting another brawler type at Mania ever again. I’m cool with him finally losing to a smaller dude who’s a believable underdog.

Saaaame. I wanna see Lesnar working with dudes he actually likes working with, cause he's still pretty f***ing good when he does evidently.

I think both were the best choice.
Rollins spending a lot of time out of the match kind of takes away from the win a little.
Becky's Rumble win on the other hand was excellent. They set up her entry with the Lana injury. Then they made her the underdog against Charlotte. I think it was the best feel good Royal Rumble win we've had in a while. Becky has been on fire for a while now. It really is her time to shine.

Becky —-> Amazing. They did the right thing, and it was satisfying! Really should have closed the show though
Rollins —> zzzzzzzzzzzz snore ..... . Zzzzzzzzzzz

Becky was right call.
Seth? I dunno. Not mad it just feels... meh? Maybe it's because of the match itself, maybe it's cause the stuff with Ambrose just kind of died during the match and they tried to force something with Lashley... I dunno. I feel like the Rumble should either be a moment of elevation or have some kind of redemption arc. Seth just did't seem that invested in the Rumble

Becky was great, and I like that it was done in a way where, if they really are set on doing the three way thing, then Charlotte has a legitimate gripe. She also didn't bury Asuka to get there.
Seth, it is what it is. I wasn't thrilled, but it was at least someone who hasn't won before, which is my biggest hope on Rumble winners.
