This past Sunday saw the 2019 editions of the men’s and women’s WWE Royal Rumble matches and they were cracking. Now, as I love me some stats and fancy something a little snazzier than Wikipedia, I’ve decided to make two lovely lists, one for the men and one for the women, with pictures and podium positions for all.
So with that said, I’ve already posted the women’s match list so let’s get on with the men’s match, shall we?
Your 2019 Men’s Royal Rumble Match Winner
1st Place – Seth Rollins
Although Rollins is the clear choice for the winner and will deservedly go on to dethrone Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania for the WWE Universal Championship, I do wish they had made a star out of this Royal Rumble. It’s a chance stipulation, Rollins could walk into that match with Brock. Why not let someone like Ali or Andrade win or even an NXT call-up like Aleister Black?
2nd Place – Braun Strowman
The ship has sailed and Braun is lying inside it, waiting for some Vikings to shoot it with a flaming arrow.
3rd Place – Dolph Ziggler
This should’ve been Andrade.
Most Eliminations or The Kane/Roman/Braun/Michelle McCool Award
1st Place – Braun Strowman
Eliminations – Five
Again, give it to someone who can use it. The record isn’t being broken, why couldn’t someone like Pete Dunne get the most eliminations.
Braun Strowman’s eliminations – Andrade, Shelton Benjamin, Baron Corbin, Jeff Hardy, & Dolph Ziggler
2nd Place – Drew McIntyre
Eliminations – Four
Definitely should have had the most.
Drew McIntyre’s eliminations – Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Pete Dunne, & Jeff Hardy
3rd Place – Seth Rollins & Samoa Joe
Eliminations – Three
Rollins won the thing but Joe could have also done with getting the most eliminations.
Seth Rollins’ eliminations – Elias, Bobby Lashley, & Braun Strowman
Samoa Joe’s eliminations – Big E, Curt Hawkins, & No Way Jose
The Ironman Award
1st Place – Seth Rollins
Time: 43:26
Again, Rollins won the damn match, give this to Ali or Andrade.
2nd Place – Mustafa Ali
Time: 30:00
Should have won but a solid showing nonetheless.
3rd Place – Samoa Joe
Time: 23:43
Another solid showing from someone who should have been given just a little more.
The Opposite of the Ironman Award
1st Place – No Way Jose
Time: 00:02
Leave WWE.
2nd Place – Xavier Woods
Time: 00:03
I really disagree with this as Woods is the most marketable member of the New Day with his YouTube channel UpUpDownDown being a huge hit. I don’t understand why he hasn’t been given at least a US Title run. Three seconds is a disgrace.
3rd Place – Titus O’Neil
Time 00:05
Titus had his Titus World Slide moment and was swiftly sent to the back. Sounds about right to me.
Most Royal Rumble Matches in a Single Event
1st Place – Nia Jax
I know that this was a controversial spot for Nia to enter the men’s Royal Rumble and get Superkicked, 619’d, and RKO’d but it was one of the best moments all night and that is saying something.
2nd Place – Literally Everyone Else
