#Wwe royal rumble 2017 card full#

All four men deserved better than this, you could have at least waited until the RAW-brand only PPV next month, or done it on RAW TV, at least then it wouldnвЂ™t seem like as much of an afterthought. So The Club FINALLY win a set of Tag Team Titles, and itвЂ™s on the Pre-Show, and not even the main event of the Pre-Show. The old battling through the crowd routine, although now with Brazilian and Chinese commentary desks! Kevin Owens is such a great talent on the mic and in the ring, he deserves a much stronger title run, or at least ONE match where he wins on his own. So, what weвЂ™ve been told is that Owens really canвЂ™t retain the title on his own. The whole idea of вЂњChris Jericho will be suspended in a cage!вЂќ is based around the storyline that Owens canвЂ™t retain his title without interference, so wouldnвЂ™t it make sense for him to do just that? IвЂ™m not talking about Jericho throwing an item down to Owens, because that happens in EVERY вЂњperson suspended above the ring in a cageвЂќ match, but I mean how Owens got beat down at the end of the match, only for Braun Strowman to run down and lay out Reigns, leading to Owens getting the pin. The Pre-Show Six Woman Tag Team match was fine for what it was, if I had a вЂњThe AverageвЂќ part of these reviews it would go there. The WWE RAW WomenвЂ™s title match was really good, loved the finish, though the commentary at the end put me off the whole thing (see below!) Goldberg, dominating like itвЂ™s 20 years agoвЂ¦ for some reason. The unstoppable beast is realising there is someone who he just canвЂ™t beatвЂ¦ I just wish that person wasnвЂ™t a 50-year-old who barely wrestles any moreвЂ¦ Then we get to the end, with appearances from Brock Lesnar, Goldberg and The Undertaker, as well as current stars like Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and вЂ¦ Roman Reigns, which was hilarious! The man a good portion of the crowd canвЂ™t stand reappearing at the end and looking like he was going to win itвЂ¦ It certainly made the crowd pop for the Orton win, thatвЂ™s for sure!ДЄlthough I still donвЂ™t get the idea behind Goldberg destroying Lesnar back at Survivor Series, the way he easily eliminated Lesnar in the Rumble and LesnarвЂ™s dejected face as he sat there was great. Jack Gallagher appearing from the Cruiserweight Division/brand was a fun surprise, though a few comedy spots then being thrown out was a bit of a waste. вЂњThe Perfect 10вЂќ Tye Dillinger coming up from NXT at Number 10 was a tad fourth-wall breaking, but it was fun and the crowd loved it, so who cares.

The Rumble Match was fun, and full of top talent from the currently active roster, which makes a change, as well as a couple of part-timers. Likewise, the Universal Title match over on the RAW brand was great as well, some good plunder and Kevin Owens looked goodвЂ¦ until the end, which IвЂ™ll get to later. Still, him equalling FlairвЂ™s 16 Time record is a bit much given his comparative ageвЂ¦ I donвЂ™t know if it surpasses their Summer Slam match, but its certainly entertaining from start to finish, which is surprising given the finish, but I guess I donвЂ™t mind Cena as much nowadays.

AJ Styles is a great match, from top to bottom. Not sure which is funnier, referee Charles RobinsonвЂ™s reaction or the fact it looks like John Cena has a beardвЂ¦ Pre-Show Match: Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella and Naomi vs. Pre-Show Match: WWE RAW Tag Team Title Match: The Club (Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows) vs. WWE Cruiserweight Title Match вЂ“ Neville vs. No Disqualification Match for the WWE Universal Title вЂ“ Roman Reigns vs. ThatвЂ™s a lot of English language commentatorsвЂ¦Дў9 th Annual Royal Rumble Match for a Title Shot at WrestleMania Austin Aries joins in for the Cruiserweight title match, and Jerry вЂњThe KingвЂќ Lawler joins in for the Rumble match itself. Michael Cole, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton are your RAW commentators, while Mauro Ranallo, John вЂњBradshawвЂќ Layfield and David Otunga handleвЂ¦ the one Smackdown! Match. The PPV (or part of your 9.99 WWE Network monthly subscription!) aired live on the 29 th of January 2017. The 30 th Royal Rumble event (but the 29 th AnnualвЂ¦ Get it right, WWE!) is in the books, and a great show it was too.
