I'm not going to do a big breakdown, it always encroaches too much on spoiler territory and it's very hard to review these things without doing so.
I also haven't acknowledged the pre-show, if WWE gives it no credibility then why should I?
To rate these things I use an average.
The breakdown was 8, 5, 7,8, 6, 2, 6 which brings it out as a median 6/10.
Now out of every ppv I tend to enjoy the Royal Rumble the most, I adore the title match and now we have a women's one as well it's doubled the appeal.
With both world titles on the line, both women's and one tag to support the rumbles it on paper was actually looking quite good. Sadly it also looked very predictable and truth be told I was right about every single match bar one, and the one I was incorrect about there is a very justified reason but I can't go into why.
Mostly logical outcomes, some high quality in ring performances and a few surprises (Though nothing truly unexpected) Royal Rumble 2019 is above par compared to recent WWE ppv's so credit where credit is due. Sadly a couple of mediocre parts and one bafflingly stupid booking decision damaged it for me.
The Good:
Some awesome entrants into the women's rumble
One amazing outcome
The Bad:
Lacey Evans repeated botches in her debut
Very predictable
One outstandingly stupid outcome
