7 Things that WWE got right at this year's Royal Rumble

#1 Killed two birds with the Chosen One

The prophecy came true!

Brock Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble as the first entrant and eliminated no less than thirteen men during his time in the ring. The first thirteen eliminations in the match all belonged to the WWE Champion, who showed once again why he’s known as The Beast Incarnate.

While Keith Lee and Braun Strowman felt like his biggest test, their own differences allowed Lesnar to eliminated both the monsters from the match too.

This called for the Scottish Psychopath who joined the fray at No. 16. A low blow to Lesnar from Ricochet as payback from last week’s RAW allowed the opening to McIntyre, who Claymore Kicked him out of the match.

This instantly made McIntyre the favorite to compete with The Beast for the WWE Championship, even if he didn’t win the Rumble.

However, there was no stopping McIntyre as he eliminated six men, including King Corbin, The Miz, and finally Roman Reigns, to win the men’s Royal Rumble match.

The win allows him a title opportunity for WrestleMania 36, which he has announced that he will face Lesnar for the WWE Championship.

This was the perfect build and moment for The Scottish Psychopath who not only eliminated The Beast but won the Rumble too!
