5 superstars who should have survived longer in the 2022 Men's Royal Rumble

#4. The Royal Rumble training didn't benefit Dominik Mysterio

For weeks, Rey Mysterio trained Dominik Mysterio about the basics of the Rumble. Their segments, especially alongside The Street Profits, were delightful to watch.

Many expected Dominik to utilize his training in the 30-man match and make it to the final four or five. It was also speculated that Dominik would be the man behind Rey Mysterio's elimination.

However, contrary to what everyone expected, Dominik got his hopes crushed way early into the match. The fact that he was eliminated even before Rey Mysterio entered the match was baffling.

#3. Big E couldn't make a mark at the Royal Rumble

Big E entered the year as the reigning WWE Champion. What felt like the beginning of the prime of his career was the beginning of his downfall.

Since losing his title at the WWE Day 1, he has been on a losing spree. While it was expected that he may triumph in this year's Rumble, not even once did he seem like a contender during the match.

Randy Orton & Riddle tossed him over the top rope, ending his struggle. Moreover, he couldn't manage to interact with Brock Lesnar, the person behind his downfall.

It was an unfortunate day for The New Day as King Woods didn't enter the Rumble, and, for the first time, Kofi Kingston failed to save himself.
