The 2023 Royal Rumble was far from the perfect show. It did however deliver a perfect ending even if it didn’t include The Rock.
Who knows where this leads, but all of this on the surface was just more Wyatt nonsense that leaves his opponent looking less than compared to where they entered. It was more bells and whistles instead of good wrestling and hours and hours of TV storytelling with strange payoff.WWE toyed with the crowd’s emotions before delivering the expected and deserved Rhea Ripley win they hoped for in a fun Rumble match filled with returns.
Raquel Rodriguez pulled her to the outside, but Ripley was able to kick her off with both on the apron. The final three came down to Ripley, Asuka and Liv Morgan – with all three standing on the apron together. After Asuka – who came back as her twisted Kana persona – misted Morgan, it gave Ripley a chance to kick her off. Morgan, though blinded, got Ripley hanging on to the ropes by two hands and her feet dangling from the ground.
You’d have to think it’s time we get the much-teased meeting between Ripley vs. Raw women’s champion Bianca Belair for world title. But Ripley does have some unfinished WrestleMania business with SmackDown champion Charlotte Flair dating back to 2020.This match had a ton of big returns. Nia Jax, who was released by WWE in 2021, came back at No. 30 only to get a Riptide from Ripley after others failed to lift her up. Triple H also did the thing and ended Doudrop.
Chelsea Green made her WWE return and was eliminated in five seconds in a waste of a return — but something that will be used moving forward I’m sure. Michelle McCool has a really cool moment leaving her kids and entering from the crowd. After not delivering the cage match between Bayley and Becky Lynch on Monday, WWE doubled down on building heat. Bayley eliminated Lynch and they and the rest of Damage CTL fought into the crown afterward.
