10 bad booking decisions in the Royal Rumble 2018

#8 Short Matches

The action that backfired

The carpet looked great for the event. It was the performance that backfired. Having two one-hour matches in the main card was always going to be a challenge for other matches, but they surely could have done better.

A triple-threat match involving three monsters, a two-out-of-three falls match between two great tag teams and a two-on-one handicap match featuring AJ Styles surely had the spark to light up the fire. Short time allocations meant superstars couldn't show off their full potential. Additionally, putting the Raw tag team title match on the pre-show would have been a good option.
