#4 Royal Rumble 2018

A historic event.
A historic event.

Contrary to the 2000 edition, Royal Rumble 2018 finds its way onto the list solely because of the two Rumble matches. The undercard of this show was nothing too special, as AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar retained their world championships, in a handicap match and a triple threat respectively.

The men's Royal Rumble match took place right in the middle of the show and boy, was it a thriller. From the action and comedy to the stories and eventual winner, everything in the match was close to perfect.

The highlights included a shocking Rey Mysterio return and Shinsuke Nakamura eliminating Roman Reigns to win the match. However, the main event was an epic piece of history. It was the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match.

We got the perfect mix of current stars and returning legends, as Asuka stood tall at the end of the 30-woman match. But the biggest moment of the night belonged to the debuting Ronda Rousey, whose appearance was expected and shocking at the same time. With two excellent Royal Rumbles, the 2018 edition is looked back pretty fondly.
