20 Man Royal Rumble

By Scott Keith on 21 December 2017


Hey Scott,

Every year there is only maybe seven guys that you could say have legitimate chances of winning the match. Wouldn't it be better to have the match feel more important with fewer competitors, 20 seems about right. Yes you still need underneath guys in there to make the bigger guys look strong but the last few Rumbles have been so boring because of the dead spots in the middle showcasing the lack of talent on the current roster.


Plus with the addition of the second Rumble this year there is only so many times I want to count backwards from 10 in one night.
​I agree 100% with this logic. Especially these days with the glut of midcard guys, the last few Rumbles have been a bit of a slog to get through in the middle, to say the least. A 20 woman Rumble and a 20 man Rumble would be just about perfect, time-wise. ​
