I sound extremely lucky to have opted to keep my five bucks.

[Ben Wyatt]

Didn't love either Rumble winner but enjoyed the matches overall. Feeling generous. 7

1. I'm glad that I didn't pay for it because that show was one of the worst that I've ever seen.

[polarbearpete]

Great show, pretty much top to bottom. Reigns/Rollins was next level, mixed tag was fun, Lashley-Brock was great as expected, Becky’s win was solid.
Rumble matches were fun as usual, but docked a point for the lack of legends returning in the men’s Rumble. 9/10

[Kalmia]

I gave it a three. Roman and Seth had a great match (bad finish aside), the mixed tag match was fun, and there were a couple of small bright spots in the Rumbles. But man, the majority of that show was such a downer.

[Duke Cameron]

Didn’t watch

4. I thought Brock VS Lashley and the Woman's Rumble had their moments but nothing else amazing. Everything else dragged on too much or was pretty mid at best.

It was way too long for its own good

[salz4life]

Hate to be the typical male…. But I’m in lust with Maryse!!! 😍😍😍

[Fake Jesus]

I watched ten minutes of the show on a f***ing stream and I still feel ripped off. I don't know how some of you actually watch weekly

From the live thread after Roman beat Rollins…

Soo… Roman costs Lesnar the match…. Lesnar steals a numbe and wins… got it

I went 6. I actually liked most things on the show but the Men’s Rumble was such a catastrophe I couldn’t in good faith rate it higher. I can’t stress enough how badly they fumbled that rumble. Like they’re damaging all their younger guys long term by sacrificing them at the altar of Lesnar. It’s really bad.

There’s no way I can give this show more than a 4. Roman/Seth was spectacular. The womens rumble was a crazy ass trip. Becky-doudrop and Drip-It were nothing matches. The Heyman moment was cool but even Bobby/Brock was underwhelming. The mens rumble absolutely sucked.
3.

I liked Roman/Seth, though I initially hated the finish. The mixed tag was fun.

Everything else was MID, and lost points for the aimless booking and winners of the Rumble matches.

Let me sum it up best:

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

I was gonna give it a chance. Then Ronda won. Then we got more setup for the never ending Lesnar/Reigns feud. Then Lesnar won. And I have to deal with trolls who think I'm an idiot for criticizing bad booking.

Can I give this a middle finger instead of a number?

[kingoftheindies]

I gotta go with a three.

I will say that I enjoyed the 2 world title matches.

I thought the Women's Royal Rumble was okay, but them gouging the roster showed to be an issue because the women that were brought in to help out were insanely sloppy as the match went on. Plus the crowd clearly did not care.

I don't think the Becky/Doudrop match was awful but again the crowd just clearly could not care any less if they tried. Also felt like match went way too long

Mixed tag match was solid enough but again, felt like it just went too long

But the big let down was the Royal Rumble. I don't even mind Brock winning but the match was just boring and the Rumble just had no hype this year.

From an in ring standpoint I don't think the show was bad, but this is the start of Mania season and is supposed to be an event it was just boring. I get COVID may have complicated things a bit but man so disappointing. At least bring up some of the NXT rookies that your high on for the show.

I do have to wonder if people said no because of the releases... like news broke that the IIconics said no when approached so I wonder if any male wrestlers were approached and declined

Since I’ve been deprived of the opportunity to give it a 0, I’ll give it a 1.

The Men’s Royal Rumble match is now 1a with the 1b of Sting/HHH in my least favorite matches I’ve ever seen. That’s not good when it’s the feature attraction. Just abysmal stuff.

[FALLOUT Goldashausen #BLM]

5/10 because I'm not going to remember anything about this next year and in years to come.... the really cool things were overshadowed by the same stuff they usually do.

Loved Ivory's hilarious cameo, a few spots here and there and not much else honestly.

Average just about sums it up. It's funny, like, they get me so hyped for shows like these, but after I'm done watching, it's like "there's a reason I stopped following this so closely". :/

Forgot to mention that the sign lighting on fire TWICE is pretty negligent. They deserve all the blame for that, especially the second time around... I'm getting reminded of the Taker pyro from the end of Mania 24. I hope everyone in that area is all right because this is pretty unacceptable for a billion dollar, publicly traded corporation to do TWICE. Is your pre-match hype package and your POINT that important?

[asuka007]

A 1/10. This was one of the worst Rumble shows ever. Where to begin:

-Both Rumble matches were bad, had terrible booking choices, the winners were insanely predictable and boring, and nothing progressed.

-Both world title matches ended in screwy finishes and nothing really progressed.

-The women’s title match was alright, but had zero heat because everyone knew who was winning.

-NO ONE new was built tonight.

-Etc.

It was just everything wrong with WWE’s philosophy in one night.
