The two major men's championship matches were problematc for differing reasons. One of them was way too short; and shouldn't have been booked in the first place. The other had two or three really good moments, but at times it did drag a little; and there were a couple of botches which made for an anticlimactic finish. The women's championship match wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. It was just there. The women's rumble was extremely entertaining for the most part; although disrespectful shananigans with the 24/7 crew and an unwelcome appearance from the Nature Boy. The men's rumble was very problematic. There was an overaching storyline that was too predictable. The quality of wrestling involved was nothing special. A couple of eliminations by somebody that wasn't involved in the match was frustrating. The lack of gimmicks or comic relief left the match feelinga little dull. The surprise entrants weren't all that exciting. The worst thing about the 2021 Royal Rumble however was that it was almost 4 hours long; partly due to random segments with the kickoff show panel, as well as a terrible musical performance from some complete random guy called Bad Bunny (that the commentators put across as if he were the biggest star in the world).

After the brilliance of the TLC PPV last month it actually hurts a little that WWE in 2021 has started somewhat poorly. At least we have an NXT TakeOver in a couple of weeks. They're always good!

Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defeated Asuka and Charlotte Flair = I never cared for the "women's" division

Sasha Banks (c) defeated Carmella (with Reginald) by submission = I still don't care for the women division

Bianca Belair won by last eliminating Rhea Ripley = They should replace the female rumble and make it a tag team rumble to headline Wrasslemania. no one cares for the "women" division.

Drew McIntyre (c) defeated Goldberg = a not bad match. I thought it would have been bad, but Goldy shows that he can still go out and spar with the young bucks like he's back in dubya c dubya

Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) defeated Kevin Owens = A decent match. Double R is improving.

Edge won by last eliminating Randy Orton = Edge is alright. Was never a huge fan, but I don't hate the guy. At 47 year old starting at #1 after career ending injuries and winning it, is soooo farfetched. It was an ok Rumble it being my first live one to actually watch.

Overall: a decent rumble for a mediocre product. I felt I wasted time and valuable energy watching this mediocre at best product.

Royal Rumble Men: With its ups and downs the match progressed. Carlito was introduced after a decade. Edge created a record of lasting from beginning until end.

Goldberg vs Drew: I have always seen Goldberg dominating. Most of it still remained true. Finally Drew retained his championship.

Roman Reign vs Kevin Owens: What a match it was! Kevin Owens showed a lot of persistence. Finally I think the best man won.
