Let RAW Help You Understand the Royal Rumble...

A Merry Monday to You, Enthusiasts!

So, how did you like this year’s Royal Rumble?  To be honest, I have to say these recent PPVs have been intriguing in the fact that the concept of the WWE SuperStar is now getting challenged.  Usually, we expect some large male to be the face of WWE but nowadays with the advent of the #MeToo Movement and #TimesUp along with the upswing of the feminine and increased general inclusivity, we are prompted to consider a woman fronting the company.  The women have been very solid of late and in quite a few instances, have out-performed the men.  The Royal Rumble was a fair example.  The Women’s Royal Rumble was a far more consistent event though, the Men did manage to make things interesting towards the end of theirs, it did take some time to get going.  The women appeared to hit the ground running. 

Yet, when it came to the one-on-one or two-on-two matches, I would have to say that Finn Bálor and Brock Lesnar snuck away with the best match.  That was the one that got me all caught up.  Thankfully, they made Bálor’s attack strategy believable and there were times you thought that he may just sneak one out but of course, Lesnar couldn’t have that on his watch.  That’s not to say the other matches weren’t good.  Asuka and Becky Lynch definitely get honorable mention but Bálor/Lesnar had the “snap-crackle-pop”!

So, for tonight we have the fallout of everything that transpired with, I’m sure, a few rematches for those who couldn’t partake last night.  Ronda Rousey is scheduled to appear for tonight’s RAW.  She'll contemplate her next conquests.  Seth Rollins is also scheduled to revel in his Royal Rumble win and his #1 Contender position against Lesnar.  I’m sure Paul Heyman may make a statement to keep Rollins in his place but that’s what these match builds are all about.  Elimination Chamber is up next and I’m sure we’ll start getting some soft sells for that as well.  In the meantime, we’ll see how they tie up loose ends.  Funny tweets get retweeted and as for Likes/Favorites, let’s relax and allow the genius to just flow.

See You in a Bit,
