RANKING THE LAST 10 MEN'S ROYAL RUMBLE WINNERS

WWE Royal Rumble is the first of the Big four PPV's of promotion and is the beginning of the road to WrestleMania. It is one of the most exciting pay per view and is used for major debuts and returns. Also, it guarantees a major push to the winner.
In today's list, we are going to rank last 10 royal rumble winners.
This list will not include Braun strowman who won the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018.
So let us begin :

10. SHEAMUS
Sheamus is not ranked at last position because of his popularity or his career, but he is at last because of the match he was involved in.
He squashed Daniel Bryan in 18 seconds only. It could have been a promising rematch from previous year's kickoff show of mania but proved out to be a lame show of two superstars.

9. ROMAN REIGNS
Add the chorus of boos that even The Rock couldn't control, and you get the sound of Roman Reigns has won the Royal Rumble. His over push led to fans causing a backlash on him, although the match against Brock Lesnar was pretty good still that can't save it from going at 9th place.

8. BATISTA

 
Dave Batista returned from Hollywood to get a shot at the Big one and was loudly cheered at the entrance but when fans realised that Daniel Bryan is not there and Batista won the Rumble, then whole buildup and reception of Bautista were criticised. Ultimately Bryan was entered in the match and the only thing which saved Batista from the last spot is the quality of the match that the three guys Orton, Bryan and Dave pulled out.

7. JOHN CENA

MR. Hustle, loyalty and respect were in a mood of repeating things as he repeated a rumble victory from 2008 and was going on into repeating "THE ONCE IN A LIFETIME MATCH" at mania against The ROCK.
The match by any standard was not a flop, the only reason that caused the match to negative reviews were expectations of fans who were demanding an extraordinary classic but received the same food in another packing.

6. TRIPLE H

This Royal rumble marked the debut of AJ Styles and Sami Zayn and the return of Chris Jericho and Triple H. Yes, I know Triple H was cheered from entry to the win but fans wanted Dean Ambrose to win the match.
Moreover, the match at WrestleMania 32 against Roman Reigns was highly criticised.

5. ALBERTO DEL RIO

This was not an ordinary rumble because it included 40 persons and guess the winner, It was none other than Alberto del Rio.
He is ranked at 5th because both Royal rumble and the Wrestlemania match against Edge were decent.

4. RANDY ORTON

Randy Orton won his second royal rumble in 2017. It was the most star-studded rumble with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Goldberg, Orton himself, Roman Reigns and others too.
The match was great and him winning the rumble was the recipient of Great Cheers from the crowd ( Though it were because of Roman being eliminated).
The buildup to Mania was great because fans were invested in Orton and Wyatt storyline and were interested in the match.
It should have been the 1st place but the quality of the match was incredibly poor from the standards of both the wrestlers.

3. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA

Nakamura won the rumble in his first attempt and eliminated Roman Reigns in the last. The Rockstar of WWE received huge cheers throughout the match and was fan favourite in the match. Him winning the rumble was largely welcomed and his match vs AJ Styles at WM34 was a decent one but lacked something from their original match at Wrestling Kingdom from NJPW.

2. SETH ROLLINS

In the absence of Roman Reigns, Rollins got a chance to shine as a top babyface another started from winning the Royal Rumble match.
He eliminated The Monster Braun Strowman to win the Royal Rumble and go on to dethrone the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar from his Universal Championship.
The whole journey from Rumble to Mania was a great one and was highly supported by fans.

1. DREW MCINTYRE

Whatever you call Brock Lesnar, he is the best guy if you want someone to make a superstar. R Truth made this rumble memorable by undeclaring himself, then Lesnar went on to eliminate 13 men and was eliminated by McIntyre.Add the return of MVP, Edge, Rated RKO reunion and betrayal, Mcintyre winning, you get a perfect royal rumble. Also, the match was pretty good.

In the Conclusion, I can say that from past 10 years Royal rumble has not been able to carry it's legacy as the best match that it delivered earlier. Some or other problem is evident in recent years, but WWE tried to fix it this year and will hope to do the same next years too.
Please tell us your opinion in comments and do share.

We all have not seen yet that how Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald in the Most Epic Duel Of All Time which we will get to see in the ongoing spin off prequel of the beloved Harry Potter Series - Fantastic Beasts .                 Pic Credit - Pinterest Maybe we will see it culminating the five parts of the prequel series or even before that (After all Eddie Redmayne's Newt Scamander  is the prominent character) when Jude law's Albus Dumbledore  will take on Mads Mikkelsen's Gellert Grindelwald  in the duel.              Pic Credit - Harry Fandom But we already know the result that Albus Dumbledore defeated Gellert Grindelwald and the latter was locked up in his own Nurmengard prison. What the Fantastic Beast series has to do is to present the duel in the most impressive way possible and bring out the roles of Newt Scamander, Goldstein sister, No Maj Kowalski, Ob...

I was scrolling through posts and found in post comments which was asking who was the most hated WWE personality of the year and all the comments were saying that they hated WWE CREATIVE TEAM the most. The main reason behind fans hating them is the way they handle fan favourites. In this list we will talk about 5 things that WWE should do in 2021 that can make them fan favourite. So let us begin 1. Break up Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura This may seem a big deal . Let Cesaro turn his back on Nakamura and turn Shinsuke face and then Cesaro is set to receive a giant heel push and Nakamura will get back his old theme and a push.
