#3 Royal Rumble 2019

What a fantastic undercard.
What a fantastic undercard.

Again, there is a contrast to the reason why the last two Royal Rumble pay-per-views are so good. While 2018's Rumble matches were really good, 2019's were average and lacked intensity. The one positive in each match were the winners, as Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch earned popular victories.

The Man herself opened the show with a barnburner against Asuka for the SmackDown Women's Championship, before taking over the Rumble. RAW's female title match was similarly fantastic. Ronda Rousey faced Sasha Banks in one of the former's greatest matches in the company.

The rest of the undercard was pretty fun as well, with Brock Lesnar vs Finn Balor for the Universal Championship and a feel-good Tag Team Title victory for The Miz and Shane McMahon. Even Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles was a good match, despite the crowd being asleep for most of it.

Royal Rumble 2019 was a great show, probably the best of the year. A tremendous undercard, along with two inspired choices to win each Royal Rumble would make for one hell of a pay-per-view every single time.
