The top 10 WWE matches of January 2018

#4 Men's Royal Rumble match

In recent years, the Royal Rumble match has become an event of trepidation rather than excitement among the WWE faithful. Year after year this decade, the company picked winners that were less than palatable.

This year, the company finally reversed that trend. In a thrilling setup, we saw the previous winners get whittled down until it was only Roman Reigns and Shinsuke Nakamura standing. Philadelphia held its breath, thinking that the company would troll it yet again, but Nakamura prevailed, to a tremendous pop.

The victory set up what should certainly be a match of the year contender at WrestleMania between Nakamura and AJ Styles. Everyone left the Wells Fargo centre thrilled.
