Broadcast from the real and cool Lucas Oil Stadium, WWE2025 Royal Rumble There were two rumbles and two intermediate championship games.
The activity feels a lot about this in the speculated and expected high-profile returns. The pyro of floating rigging (hanged from the ceiling) always gives a special feel and combines with the unique design of Lucas Oil Royal Rumble This year it has its own unique aesthetic.
By contrast, announcements like “The Third Gate in WWE History” didn’t actually contribute to this, but just made me wonder how much ticket prices have risen. It is normal to announce participation in a sporting event, and it is strange to announce income.
There are two rumbles to balance, and the key to the night is ensuring diversity. Both rumbles played for over an hour, so they really need to feel different. In this case, both are booked with enough contrast to be unpopular.
The two games in the middle of the card, the men’s tag team and the men’s WWE champion (both played gi header matches themselves) also help to switch gears between the rumbles. That said, my feeling is that one of these attractions should be another female division. Title defense of both Rhea Ripley or Tiffany Straton This card could have been balanced overall.
Women’s Royal Rumble Contest – Winner, Charlotte Flair:
The woman’s rumble is filled with clever melting stories that showcase the characters brilliantly throughout the lineup. Each new entrant has room to make an impact and have a clear understanding of who he is. Given a quantity NXT Participants, this is particularly effective. If you’ve never seen it Eyelash legend or Stephanie Vaqueryou know who they are and what their deal is.
Ironically, what this method slightly stumbles upon is Flair’s introduction. Her entrance feels right and helps her ultimate victory build a feeling, but once she’s really involved, she doesn’t have a real story. Like Rhea Ripley, Flair is a powerful body storyteller. The lack of clear narrative here is the lack of connection between her entrance and victory, and the only substantial criticism I have made in this fascinating, uplifting rumble.
call out Ivy Nile Do Lyra ValkyriaAfter laughing at her, + work on high heels. And shout Morgan Life To take everything into root. Instead of doing nothing at the resting place, Morgan always makes sure his character looks like he is trying to achieve something, even if it’s just someone lying in the corner. Morgan is really great now.
WWE Tag Team Championship, Two-thirds of the Falls – #DIY Defense. Motor City Machine Gun: Speaking of something I feel like this place can be used in place of the women’s department, I’m going to compete myself here. This is really very good. Really good, but still gestures somehow.
Although Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley It has been great since arriving at WWE last October, and it feels like they were able to build a bigger story in one of the games for the first time. Likewise, anyone who watches Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa exist NXT It will be known that in terms of character and intra-ring actions, the main lineup interpretation of the character is greatly reduced. DIY combined with MCMG and in a gated game, finally had the opportunity to show off their extraordinary creativity as storytellers.
That said, the three waterfalls were only 14 minutes in total, and the game felt compressed. Both teams showcase these two teams, and the story here is smart and effective, but for me the main point is how much more they need to give them as long as they can get time and space.
Double yelling at Chris Sabin, his ridiculous hanging time in air action and Because being that kind of tag team wrestler, he made sure he held the tag rope while tagging. Love seeing it.
Undisputed WWE Championship, Ladder Competition – Cody Rhodes (C) Def. Kevin Owens: Between his savage behavior and top-level framework work CM Punk It did it in the promotion opposite him for Rhodes Royal RumbleCody finally has a new story. The idea that the champions are gradually forcing holders to be their basic version is awesome.
For the game itself, Cody always excels in the Babyface role, who suffered a lot of damage before making a comeback, but the twists and despicable of his revenge here left the tension in the air Tension tension.
Owens was able to play the devil for months, but then sold in a way that gains our sympathy, which proves his range as a performer. Owens is beloved Sami Zayn Complications at work were exacerbated only in this game. From a production perspective, the concluding shot of Rhodes’ island high above is the best moment of the night.
Slight continuity complaint! Why did we have the “Champion Exchange” part a week before this show, just having both participants walk to the ring with belts? ? ?
Men’s Royal Rumble Competition – Winner, “Main Event” Jey Uso: Unlike the women’s story, the man’s romance never cared about until the last twenty minutes or so, when it turned into an absolute and unspecified massacre. The big guys have overlapping storylines and a chaotic messy feeling, and the final part of the game is electric.
USO’s victory here exceeds the wins it deserves – he has been the most popular wrestler in the men’s department for at least the last six months. And his Wrestlemania Last year’s game was poor, and his recent work in singles games has increased exponentially. I believe he will be able to do something magical with his chosen opponent (!).
Curtain phone: Although it’s very long, this year’s Royal Rumble It is a very interesting performance and a very worthy “Big Four” PLE. The two rumbles are booked so differently that the concept is not worn out, and the two games that make up the card provide the show with the diversity and variation needed to avoid a tired second rumble.
I think this year is very sure Wrestlemania The card has not been clearly set. There are some long-term stories to play, but from now until April, there are still many unknown areas worth mentioning. The talent for return wins here, but the return Cena is just a good indicator that WWE knows the value of direct and more winding roads, namely their April season finale.
