Royal Rumble 2017 results and review




1. Kickoff Match: Becky Lynch, Naomi, and Nikki Bella defeated Mickie James, Natalya, and Alexa Bliss. Naomi hit a split-legged moonsault on Alexa Bliss to pick up the pin.
-> good match but a little bit too short. Naomi will ge the best out of it with a title match. 6 of 10 points.

2. Kickoff Raw Tag-Team Title Match: The Club defeated Sheamus and Cesaro (c). Anderson was able to cheat and roll up Cesaro while grabbing his tights to get the pin and walk away with the titles.
-> best kick off match and thank god The Club won the titles. 7 of 10 points. 

3. Kickoff Match: Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks. Nia Jax defeated favorite Sasha Banks with the pop-up Samoan Drop to steal the win.
-> no surprise here. 5 of 10 points

4. Raw Women’s Championship Match: Charlotte (c) defeated Bayley. After tossing her to the outside, Charlotte used the Natural Selection on the apron to retain her title.
-> pretty good womans match. Baylay will win the title down the road or at Mania. 8 of 10 points.

5. WWE Universal Championship Match: Kevin Owens (c) with Shark Cage Chris Jericho defeated Roman Reigns. After interference from Braun Strowman, Kevin Owens was able to grab the pin to retain the championship.
-> awesome match and I don´t even like Reigns at all. Right decision that KO kept the title. 9 of 10 points.

6. WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match: Neville defeated Rich Swann (c). Nevulle took down reigning champion Rich Swann with an Iron Maiden.
-> another great match and awesome action too. Cool that Neville won the title just yet. He is a great heel. 9 of 10 points

7. WWE Championship Match: John Cena defeated AJ Styles (c). Cena hit a super Attitude Adjustment, and two rolling Attitudes Adjustment to capture his 16th world title.
-> Best match of the evening. Sadly AJ lost the title jst to get Cena the 16th title reign. Bad booking at all. 9,5 of 10 points. Could have be a 10 with AJ as the winner.

8. Randy Orton won the 2017 Royal Rumble match. The final four was Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns, and Chris Jericho. Orton eliminated Reigns last to win the Rumble.
-> the creative department missed the chance for real surprises like Samoa Joe or Finn Balor or Nakamura or Roode. Lame winner with Orton. Bray Wyatt would be a better winner for battle against Cena at WrestleMania. Orton just sucks badly. 8 of 10 points.
