5 Changes WWE should make to the Royal Rumble match

#4 Change WWE should make to the Royal Rumble match - Various time limit enforcements

The League of Nations attacked Roman Reigns outside of the ring during the 2016 Royal Rumble.

When WWE promotes the Royal Rumble PPV, if often says that "it's all about the numbers." That statement covers stars that have lasted the longest, lasted the shortest and how many eliminations a particular star has. It also Champions how certain slots have produced more winners of the Royal Rumble than other particular slots.

One thing that WWE should take advantage of is enforcing certain time limits during the match. One that should be instituted is that a participant must enter the match before the next participant. If not, they are automatically eliminated. That means that a star would have about two minutes or so to enter the ring.

Another enforcement they should use is that if a wrestler exits the ring during the match but is not eliminated, they must re-enter the ring within a certain time (perhaps anywhere from two to five minutes). They are then eliminated if they do not re-enter.

Once again, having performers roll under or through the ropes is used for storyline purposes and to protect certain stars. Roman Reigns was ambushed during the year he had to start the match from the number one spot. He spent a large amount of time in the Royal Rumble outside of the ring after an attack from the League of Nations.

Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold battled all over the arena after entering the match, but only re-entered the ring for the climax. The Miz and others have waited after their number came up and picked their moments. WWE can still play with those time restrictions to protect the stars they want, but spending most of the match outside of the ring doesn't enhance any potential win.
