WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Results, Recap and Match Ratings (CNET)

After the Royal Rumble's main event, which saw Roman Reigns defeat Kevin Owens, we saw the breakdown of the Bloodline. Sami Zayn refused to attack Owens, ...

The Royal Rumble kicks off with a return -- but not of a wrestler. This was actually awesome and got a pop from the crowd. In a throwback to his brother Goldust, Rhodes set Gunther up in the corner, legs stretched to either side on the middle ropes, and hit a Shattered Dream -- a kick to the nuts. There was a great moment where Gunther missed a Big Boot and ended up on the apron. Wyatt tried to suplex Knight on the steps, but Knight stopped him, jumped off the barricade to land a cross body on Wyatt, who was standing on the stairs. Afterwards, when Bliss was in the ring, the lights went dim and a spookey Bray Wyatt message played. The ring was filled with nearly a dozen women by the time No. Ripley did a sweet 619 to kick Asuka off, and then eliminated Morgan to win the Rumble. Reigns went for a second Spear, but Owens kicked him in the face and tried to score a Stunner. The pacing of this bout was off, probably due to the Royal Rumbles going long and because of the lengthy post-match segment. Reigns attemped a Spear but Reigns dodged it, leading Reigns to smash into the turnbuckle -- and I mean smash. The pay-per-view ended with Zayn and Owens decimated in the ring together.

WWE Royal Rumble is here, which could mean only one thing - We are officially on the road to WrestleMania. History has it that only 3 men have won the Rumble from that position. Gunther and the The Celtic Warrior get the Miz inside the ring and his chest is already red. The man who has provided countless Royal Rumble moments in the past, Kofi Kingston from The New Day enters the Rumble at No. Kross comes in at the Rumble match in a foul mood. A two-time Rumble winner - 2003 and 2022 - Lesnar has unleashed Suplex City on everyone. We are already one third the way in this Rumble match as Angelo Dawkins from The Street Profits comes marching in. A clothesline from the Almighty and Lesnar goes flying out of the ring. And it's Booker T who is the first surprise entrant in the match. His eyes were on Judgment Day and he takes out his frustration on the faction beating them on his way back to the stage. The buzzer goes off for the penultimate time in the match as Logan Paul comes in at No. Only one of them has won the Rumble previously.

WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Results: Triple H Era Spat In The Face Of ... (Forbes)

If the WWE Royal Rumble was a Tesla, surprise entrants would be its super charger. Surprise returns and entrances have become so synonymous with the Royal ...

Hartwell has felt like a fifth-year in NXT senior of late, especially as the only member of The Way who did not get called up to the main roster. Piper Niven dropped the Doudrop moniker and delivered an encouraging sign for the Triple H Era. This just barely qualified as a surprise entrant since Asuka is technically a member of the main roster. Given her combination of talent, and ties to Booker T, she’ll be a shoo-in for the main roster sooner rather than later. Roxanne became the first NXT star of the night to be featured, and she was able to showcase her quick-hitting offense in front of her home state of Texas. Edge’s elimination was done to further his ongoing tensions with The Judgment Day, which seems on track to culminate at WrestleMania. Seemingly thinking of the same death wish, Paul and Ricochet performed dueling springboard dives where both crashed into each other in midair. Booker T spent less than one minute in the Royal Rumble after being eliminated by Royal Rumble standout—and party-pooper—GUNTHER. With WWE going on 12 consecutive years with at least one part-timer in the WrestleMania main event, it’s finally starting to trust in its current generation amid consistent sellouts and big ratings spikes under the Triple H Era. Venerable legends like the aforementioned Edge, Bobby Lashley, Booker T and Brock Lesnar all took a backseat role, spending less than 15 minutes in the Royal Rumble combined. Instead of loading up the Royal Rumbles with surprise outsiders and nostalgia, WWE finally doubled down on its future. If the WWE Royal Rumble was a Tesla, surprise entrants would be its super charger.

He also had one of the best final two segments in the history of the event, putting on a mini-match with Cody Rhodes. Even though Rhea Ripley was a favorite going into the women's Rumble match, she walked into it at No. By putting the men's match on first, it made sense that Zayn would not even be in it as he was focused on Reigns vs. For those who were able to see Bray Wyatt and LA Knight wrestle, they had a heated sprint that ended with the right man winning.

Earlier in the night, during the Raw Women's Championship match, she was shown ringside watching Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss battle it out. This could be the last, and if that's the case, it's good it happened in Texas. 30 made for an easier path for Cody Rhodes than Ripley's No. It doesn't matter if you've retired 100 times, you might be called upon to step back inside the squared circle.
