The countdown clock kept us buzzing, but the stories are what stuck. From our packed watch party in Orlando, we dive into a Royal Rumble that split the room: a women’s match rich with heart and narrative juice, and a men’s match loaded with star power and a polarizing finish that screams WrestleMania season. We talk MVPs, missed chances, and the moments that made even the cynics cheer.
We start with the women’s Rumble, where Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez delivered tension you could feel from the cheap seats. Lash Legend impressed as the iron-willed standout, Sol Ruca pulled off a daring highlight that had everyone clutching the rails, and NXT callups added a welcome spark. Nostalgia hit when the Bella Twins returned, but the match didn’t lean on it; it moved forward with fresh stories and earned pops.
AJ Styles vs Gunther should have been a classic, and while it wasn’t a dud, it felt like a half-measure between legacy and agenda. If this was AJ’s last dance, we share our gratitude for a career that rewrote what a modern ace looks like from TNA to New Japan to WWE. Then Sami Zayn vs Drew McIntyre brought hard truths: a clean finish that cements Drew’s path while asking Sami’s believers to wait even longer. It’s solid booking, but the timing stung.
The men’s Rumble entertained with sharp pacing, surprise beats, and a few laugh-out-loud moments, including the “two big Americans” bit and a highlight reel from Javon Evans. But as the field narrowed, the business case came into focus. Roman Reigns equals box office, and this result plants a giant WrestleMania flag. We weigh the future pieces Oba Femi, Bron Breakker, Priest, Gunther against the headline that sells out stadiums.
