This is the wrestling I grew up with that I’ve been missing for decades. Long thought out storylines that pay off. I never cared for Roman as a solo/face act until the bloodline. The last year of the bloodline story has been brilliant. AEW can’t touch WWE right now. I’m to invested in Sami, KO and the bloodline.
WWE has really turned it up the past 3 months. My late father and I got to see Dusty in the 80s. If Cody ends up winning at WrestleMania I'm going to shed a tear, because I love my dad as much as he loves his.
A lot of great things in this Royal Rumble PPV, but I'm most hyped about Gunther and that he finally get what he deserved. He is a perfect Heel in my opinion and a great Wrestler 🔥
@JUST SAYING Or go back and watch some early to mid 2010's matches from WXW... he does this for well over a decade now. Walther (or Gunther right now) was allways a highlight on any WXW show, specially the 16 Carat Gold Tournaments he participated in.
Yesss Sir Gunther is on his own lvl. You only have to watch his UK NXT Match with Dragunov to know he's the real deal. As is Dragunov. Both solid real wrestlers.
The main event scene was so incredible & epic moment 😃🔥 The way Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens & Jey Uso looks after the beatdown was so heartbreaking & epic 💔🔥 The Bloodline storyline is so epic & interesting 🙂🔥 Roman Reigns & the other Bloodline members are so great villain actors. Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens are so great protagonist actors 👏👏👏 Hands down
Jey is low key the real MVP here. Everyone could see Sami turning on Roman, but none of us expected Jey's reaction. And none of us can tell what he's going to do next. He's like the secret big gun of the storyline.
@JackRabbi I absolutely agree with you ✅✅✅ I don't understand why the heck they want Sami Zayn to dethrone The Usos only despite of what happened for this storyline
Watching the Rico and Logan collision, it's great to see that even the wrestlers on the mat can't help but watch it. All of them doing their best to sneakily watch.
So much Applause for Bloodline segment or even American Nightmare and to Gunther, but nobody's talking about Ownes, man that guy did the best part for us all to get that main event. The two staircase shots were brutal, he dominated Reigns but too selflessly hiting him with care and taking tought shots on himself. Man the guy is too good, so very good! Fight Ownes Fight!
@Jyotishka Roy infact Sami takimg the limelight in this Bloodline storyline, but Kevin was way too impressive. He has been on a great level since adopting Stunner as his finisher.
Also, it remains to see where the loyalities of Jey Uso now lie... He posted on Instagram "I'm out" ..... Is he quitting the bloodline or is this a swerve to punish Sami, remains to be seen
The bloodline segment was by far one of the greatest endings to a pay per view I ever seen it gives you every emotion you can think of you can feel the passion and emotion from everyone just amazing storytelling I’m looking forward to see what happens next 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Jey joins Sami and KO...and still the bloodline dominates and destroys them and save Jey...Jey betrays Sami and KO...and will rejoin the bloodline...I guess the creative team has no plan as to how to end the bloodline story... because if they do, it's a disaster for them...this bloodline story is what sustains their views...
Something about this bloodline beat down gave me heavy Mafia vibes. It's what I've wanted to see from the group for ages. Ruthless beat downs. It just sucks we had to wait for them to turn on one of their own to do it. Other than that, this moment was iconic. Reminded me alot of when Evolution turned on Randy Orton, it was crazy shock value, uncomfortable to watch and was violent as hell. Heck of a moment
He forgot to mention legacy Cody Rhodes which was better than his whole lame 😒 stardust and dashing run combined except not better than his 2013 solo and tag team run
They forgot a few stages there. The spark plug holly tag team era and feud, no knee pads like his dad era, legacy, dashing, disfigured, stardust, american nightmare
@Ally Gilmour hater. He's at the top of his game with his story telling. Only Stone cold at wrestlemania last year has been able to match him in that department
Happy for Cody who deserves to go to WM after what he went through As for Rhea, I'm not surprised, her talent is just speaking for her and at this rate, she could make history in the women's division and soon in the WWE as well. And as far as the Bloodline storyline is concerned, it's probably one of the best I've seen in the last few years and for that alone, thank you WWE P.S: The PLE wasn't exceptional but to start the year, it was more than enough
@H_a_y_z_e__ 570 ?? he's a very good wrestler. his fight with gunther was so good, and while he shouldn't of been #30, he defo deserves it with how good he is in the ring.
I was in tears 😭 what a moment with the Bloodline. I couldn't believe what unfolded. Spectacular! Love how this story still can go anywhere and it's super creative. Super emotional. Nothing will ever be like it!
Cody Rhodes just proved a major point. It’s never too late… never thought he’d be here when I was a kid playing wwe2k10 and Cody and Ted being a tag team that he would win the rumble one day.
Beautiful. Just beautiful and emotionally moving storytelling with the bloodline. I watched aew from 2021 August (because of Punk) to December 2022. I just couldn't watch it anymore. In all that time I never saw anything a quarter as good as the bloodline. This is what the business is all about. Wwe understands sports entertainment better than anybody on the planet. This was brilliant, and it made me feel. I'm a huge Roman Reigns fan, but after tonight, just like Jey, I can't get behind him anymore. I feel so bad for Sami and K.O. I feel bad for Jey. I'm disappointed in Jimmy. I'm disgusted with Paul heyman and Roman Reigns. And I feel great being a wwe fan😲😢🤯🤪😂🤩. Amazing. So many emotions at once. Fantastic.
This was my first live WWE event (was a christmas gift to me and my brother from his girlfriend) and goodness it was a night I will never forget, hands down best night of year and it's barely started.
This event was amazing. Full of action, suspense, great storytelling, and set up potential feuds down the line that fans can sink their teeth into. Here are the following feuds that should happen. Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther Logan Paul vs. Ricochet Sheamus vs. Brock Lensar Montez Ford vs. Austin Theory Gunther vs. Brock Lensar Rhea Ripley vs. Beth Phoenix Bianca Belair vs. Raquel Rodriguez Auska vs. Bianca Belair Zelina Vega vs. Asuka Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans Liv Morgan vs. Bayley Shotzi vs. Nikki Cross
We can always talk about how great The Bloodline story, how amazing was the return of Rhodes. But, man let’s just give a round of applause to Gunther’s performance!
Why is everyone saying the ending will never be forgotten lol, we have had so many endings that were emotional and I’m sure this won’t be the last. People are always in the moment then they move on
Cody must have been promised a wrestlemania match as 1 of his many conditions to return to The World Wrestling Federation. I still think he sucks, it's not like they're going to give him any titles because Roman Reigns is never going to lose that belt. I'm also assuming he didn't lose it to Owens because I only saw the Rumble match and then turned off the television.
Rhea , the true athlete..... She knows sell a move, do a move with impact, and great heelish smile.... She know to handle crowd .. The best.... Hopes she will dethrone Bianca or Charlotte....
I've renewed my Network subscription for the first time since 2015, they've been on fire for the last few months. Bloodline and Sami, the tag division as a whole, Brock v Bobby, the fall and rise of Austin Theory, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio getting all the heel heat, Michael Cole making honest and passionate calls - this is the WWE I've missed, hope it continues for years to come
I was motivated to watch the Royal Rumble match after seeing many old Royal Rumble matches on KZclip, but that Roman Reigns - Sami storyline is the most compelling story I've seen in YEARS! The Rock & Austin returning are things I come back for, but IMO this is one of the only times the current roster finally did something really great!
@Jack Kinoff Thank Youuuuu,finally someone had the balls to say it. It sucks there’s not many layers to it and Cody barely got any sortve Pop.Was a lackluster Rumble if you ask me.
section bloodline story line end up to a mess .. still bubba ray dudley his aces of eights the best unique storyline.. bloodline story like old decade storyline backstabbing its very common
I have always told this, the bloodline story was always about Jey Uso, not about Roman or Sami. The story has been going since sept 2020. The dude was forced into submission and manipulated into the bloodline bcoz he had to stop Roman from killing jimmy in that hell in a cell match. Then he was always wary about sami in the bloodline bcoz he was manipulated into thinking it was all for their family. When he finally came through to sami, he realized his family was wrong the whole time.
The men's was great even if the winner was too predictable it was still a fun match. Gunther was awesome in this match and the finishing sequence between him and Cody were fantastic. congratulations Cody Rhoades. The Women's royal rumble was in my opinion a really fun and action packed rumble match. Congratulations Rhea Ripley on the win you deserve it. Great performance by Liv Morgan she and Ripley started and ended the match. The ending was great with Sami and Bloodline and this is how you deliver on Long-term storytelling.
This was always Jey’s storyline. Sami was the most climatic chapter in all of this. It’s like you play the game as one character for a bit, then it switches to another. At this point, we’re back with Jey now in the story.
12:18 It was very similar to Rollins' betrayal. The same hit, the incredible surprise of the audience and Roman falling in the same way. That was very good.
@Matthew Aqrawi roman never needed to welcome sami in the bloodline. Yet He did . And it was an attack on the throne. On the head of the table On the tribal chief
Estoy contento y emocionado de que Cody Rouse aya vuelvo en Royal rombo y que allá ganado la batalla de su lesión como la batalla real muchas felicidades ahora quiero verte luchar pronto en raw
@Joseph George That's his character dude characters & real life are different The Miz is actually a cool dude in real life as mostly all wrestlers that work with him say hes a nice guy so try again bud
He only won bc he has a special contract hes a cry baby like CM Punk Tony Khan didnt wanna push him so he ran to WWE where HHH told him he'll be champion
I love Jey's reaction. He’s been there with Roman before and this moment brought it all flooding back, reminding him how manipulative Roman truly is. Remember when Roman attacked Jimmy to make Jey say "I Quit?" Jey saw Sami being loyal to his boy KO and understood that but at the same time, he's scared of what Roman will do now since he put himself on the line to defend Sami. He's not so much pissed off with Sami, more hurt because he really wants to believe that Sami is his dawg, but Sami betrayed his trust and now he wonders why Sami would throw him under the bus like that. Jey was the only legit one of the group: It took time for Sami to earn his trust, but when he did, it was real. It was the others who were using Sami and who were ready to abandon him at a moment's notice. The callback to The Shield also makes Roman a somewhat sympathetic villain imo and explains why he runs such a tight ship: He's felt betrayal from a guy he considered a brother before and doesn't want it from his own family or anyone he lets into his family, especially after all he feels he's done for them. I love layered, slowburn storytelling like this.
Bruh this was a great to start to 2023 to WWE, so many good things, from Booker’s return, Drew and Sheamus going beast mode, Gunther becoming the new definition of ironman, Bobby throwing out Brock and making him rage, Cody winning, Ricochet being impressive as always, Asuka bringing Kana to WWE, Edge and Beth returning, Michelle McCool returning, Rhea winning from number 1, Bianca retaining, Uncle Howdy commuting Suicide, Corbin getting knocked out, everyone teaming up on Logan (even Dominik), Liv and Raquel as well as Roxanne putting in work in the rumble, and that MAIN EVEN, im very optimistic for WWE in 2023
I don't know if they planned to have Sami go into Montreal, after this for elimination chamber. But as a heel the crowd goes crazy, him as the top baby face will be nuts. Excellent planning to ensure Sami's momentum gets pushed to WrestleMania.
0:01 Brock Lesnar Attacks To Everyone & Everything 0:59 Edge Entrance 1:56 Logan Paul Returns 3:00 The American Nigthmare (Cody Rodhes) 3:55 Logan Paul Eliminates Seth Freakin Rollins 4:55 Ricochet & Paul Moment 5:30 Cody Rodhes Wins Royal Rumble Match 6:25 Bray Wyatt Mandible Claw, Uncle Howdy Elbow Drop 7:22 Alexa Bliss vs Bianca Belair 7:57 AsuKana Returns 8:57 Chelsea Green Entrance And Elimination By 5 Seconds 9:46 Nia Jax Elimination
Roman getting all those Flashbacks when he got hit by Sami with a chair, that chair shot felt the same as when Seth hit him with the chair during his days with The Shield.👌
This was great. Glad to see such a huge crowd. Glad to see Cody Rhodes back and doing his thing again. WWE is definitely the big leagues. I just hate the commentary team. AEW is solid but they have a long way to go.
@LifeIsNotorious admit it. If Gunther won, there’d be way more backlash than Cody winning. You’d have people so pissed off they’d be tuning out and not watching. They’re a business they have to run it the way to keep profits coming in.
@JJGeneral1 Arcade See that “bland character” comment is the reason why these wrestlers who are actually good and deserves better recognition are not treated fair because they’re not “hype enough”. The popular people always gets first dibs. If this was a fair match, then Cody should have came out at least #10 or Gunther should have been #20. Gunther held it down to only “lose” by the popular Cody Rhodes who came out the last for the audience hype reaction.
@Liq38 that's the point. Gunther isn't flashy. He's all about the ring. Hence the Ring General. Also watch him v Dragnov from NXT UK. Absolutely a classic.
Jey leaving reminded me of , when Chris gave up Adriana , . Jey finally accepted Sammy as a brother but then was emotionally drained of the betrayal. It’s like when Chris loved Adriana but was so hurt and finally gave her up because she was a rat. This story literally could go on for years
The way Sheamus refused to take his eyes off of Brock for a second is just as hilarious as Michael Cole going "thank goodness for otter box... I ran away, I don't know what happened"
Hey 👋. Our Saviour Jesus Christ died so that we will live. Jesus said, "I'm the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". John 14:6.
This PPV was truly very interesting and good. I especially enjoyed the men's rumble, the Bray Wyatt stuff (cause I am a sucker for this storyline) and of course Samis turning with Jey and Sammy showing an especially great performance.
Oh... the Bloodline and Sami's storyline isn't over yet. No way. A lot has still to come. Let's just expect some wild stuff from tomorrow up to WrestleMania!
you do realize Roman is the one carrying the company right? He is the one pulling strings for all his cousins and Sami to be involved and put up a great show together unlike all the other champions in the past that only hog the spotlight for themselves
No, every single one of the bloodline are amazing. No one is carrying anyone. Every single one of them did their role perfectly. without any one of them, the story wouldnt have been as good as it is right now
Gunther is a pure gold All his matches are gold and royal rumble performance was one of the best performance and i hope gunther will face brock at WrestleMania
Honestly enjoyed this royal rumble - great to see Gunther get his shine in the match itself and happy to see Cody get his due. But the bloodline stuff, the ending was art, Sami’s face, jey walking off, jimmy telling jey “he ain’t your brother, IM YOUR BROTHER” flippin amazing
OMG, This year Royal Rumble is totally the greatest one yet, and literally the Bloodline & Sami Zayn storyline took me by surprise at how it all ended with Sami finally FINALLY turning his back on the Bloodline mostly on Roman Reigns by hitting Roman in the back with the chair the same way Seth did to him long ago!!!! OMG, I thought Roman was going to the pull the trigger on Sami the whole time, but Sami was the one to betray the Bloodline first- I'm shocked and surprised by this twist, so good!!!! And OMHG, how it all ended after the Bloodline beat up Sami and Jey literally walked out on his family in tears literally hit me so emotionally hard, dang, I feel so sorry for Jey cause he actually was the only one in the Bloodline who actually like Sami for real. And Jey seeing Roman's cruelty towards Sami makes me wondering if he's going to finally to leave Roman's team and become a babyface again as well as trying to get Jimmy out of the Bloodline with him as they might not want to be on Roman's side any longer, I don't know yet, just going to see what happens next.
Say what you want about logan Paul but you can see hes taken in every second of his time training. The walk in, the mannerisms and for a rookie part timer to pull off moves like that is seriously impressive
That ending was really brutal... When you hv made everyone in the crowd to yell at you, you hv reached the peak of ur heel character. That's Roman Reigns after this Royal Rumble
@Matteo Mochi As I said, I don't watch it lol. I watch Wrestlemania and the Rumble. I don't watch it week to week. And again, that's why I asked if the "real" was back like old school wrestling where people took actual bumps and not just playing patty cake in the ring where it's just a glorified soap opera.
@Scoopersnacks You don't have to look at any of that stuff. What are you talking about? I don't have social media and don't look up behind the scenes happenings unless I want to. It's all within your power not to see any of the backstage stuff. What you said made no sense. WWE themselves don't bring any of that up. It's from outside sources.
I used to watch WWE with my cousin when we were younger.. At that time there were Rey Mysterio, Batista, The Undertaker, Shawn Micheals, Kane, HHH, John Cena, Hardy Boyz... I think they were something different from this.. That WWE seasons were legendary
The story of the Bloodline took the show emotionally. Joyfull, shocked, yet sad. This is what storytelling should be.
Lol everyone knew at the end this is gonna happen poor story...
We know stop repeating it
bruh
Dude my eyes was tearing up for that moment 😢😂
@X-Sen Execution exactly my point, the rock was MORE FAIR THAN THIS ! The rock he would have win could vacate the title for example
This is the wrestling I grew up with that I’ve been missing for decades. Long thought out storylines that pay off. I never cared for Roman as a solo/face act until the bloodline. The last year of the bloodline story has been brilliant. AEW can’t touch WWE right now. I’m to invested in Sami, KO and the bloodline.
0:07 BDE
Kid, GayEW will never Touch WWE's Level, cause wtf do U think GayEW consists of ???????????????????
@Radim Radim hell yeah bro
@Willy Wonka Facts bro TNA tops AEW
WWE has really turned it up the past 3 months. My late father and I got to see Dusty in the 80s. If Cody ends up winning at WrestleMania I'm going to shed a tear, because I love my dad as much as he loves his.
he’s gonna win it. HHH told vince he’d keep the title on roman until then.
Tony gunk name remind me of impractical jokers
May your father RIP 🙏🏾
yes Brock lesnar
I would like to thank Rhea for making my birthday wish come true! An incredible performance all the way from the #1 spot. Truly remarkable
Happy birthday
Mami will get it at wrestlemania
That Move with Logan and Ricochet was sick!
A lot of great things in this Royal Rumble PPV, but I'm most hyped about Gunther and that he finally get what he deserved. He is a perfect Heel in my opinion and a great Wrestler 🔥
@JUST SAYING Or go back and watch some early to mid 2010's matches from WXW... he does this for well over a decade now. Walther (or Gunther right now) was allways a highlight on any WXW show, specially the 16 Carat Gold Tournaments he participated in.
Yesss Sir Gunther is on his own lvl. You only have to watch his UK NXT Match with Dragunov to know he's the real deal. As is Dragunov. Both solid real wrestlers.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi mike
@K Z in fact he's been Cody Rhodes' final boss, he was there from the beginning too
The main event scene was so incredible & epic moment 😃🔥 The way Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens & Jey Uso looks after the beatdown was so heartbreaking & epic 💔🔥 The Bloodline storyline is so epic & interesting 🙂🔥 Roman Reigns & the other Bloodline members are so great villain actors. Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens are so great protagonist actors 👏👏👏 Hands down
Jey is low key the real MVP here. Everyone could see Sami turning on Roman, but none of us expected Jey's reaction. And none of us can tell what he's going to do next. He's like the secret big gun of the storyline.
@Chiboy Junior how can The Usos Split when They're both The Tag Team Champs, Kid ?????????? 🤡🤡🤡 Go watch Pogo
Scripted or not, Jey was actually torn watching that happen in front of him
@JackRabbi I absolutely agree with you ✅✅✅ I don't understand why the heck they want Sami Zayn to dethrone The Usos only despite of what happened for this storyline
Watching the Rico and Logan collision, it's great to see that even the wrestlers on the mat can't help but watch it. All of them doing their best to sneakily watch.
I absolutely agree ✅✅✅ That was so epic moment 🔥
right before they even collide, you can see theory peek his head up just a little to see it all happen. absolutely amazing work by everyone involved 👏
So much Applause for Bloodline segment or even American Nightmare and to Gunther, but nobody's talking about Ownes, man that guy did the best part for us all to get that main event. The two staircase shots were brutal, he dominated Reigns but too selflessly hiting him with care and taking tought shots on himself. Man the guy is too good, so very good!
Fight Ownes Fight!
@Jyotishka Roy infact Sami takimg the limelight in this Bloodline storyline, but Kevin was way too impressive. He has been on a great level since adopting Stunner as his finisher.
Kevin Owens has a heart of a lion. I don't remeber anybody taking bumps on this side of the staircase.
This Bloodline storyline deserves to be translated into a movie... What emotions, what storytelling.... Goosebumps
Also, it remains to see where the loyalities of Jey Uso now lie... He posted on Instagram "I'm out" ..... Is he quitting the bloodline or is this a swerve to punish Sami, remains to be seen
Can't wait to see the reaction of Roman and Paul Heyman this Friday....
yes
The bloodline segment was by far one of the greatest endings to a pay per view I ever seen it gives you every emotion you can think of you can feel the passion and emotion from everyone just amazing storytelling I’m looking forward to see what happens next 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
Jey joins Sami and KO...and still the bloodline dominates and destroys them and save Jey...Jey betrays Sami and KO...and will rejoin the bloodline...I guess the creative team has no plan as to how to end the bloodline story... because if they do, it's a disaster for them...this bloodline story is what sustains their views...

@Castiel Clouds well i mean, wwe has kid rock in their hall of fame, so why not lol
He forgot to mention legacy Cody Rhodes which was better than his whole lame 😒 stardust and dashing run combined except not better than his 2013 solo and tag team run
They forgot a few stages there. The spark plug holly tag team era and feud, no knee pads like his dad era, legacy, dashing, disfigured, stardust, american nightmare

P.S: The PLE wasn't exceptional but to start the year, it was more than enough
@goldeneaglereborn yeah gee wow who knew wow golly wow
@goldeneaglereborn yeah, i know it
It's not real
@H_a_y_z_e__ 570 ?? he's a very good wrestler. his fight with gunther was so good, and while he shouldn't of been #30, he defo deserves it with how good he is in the ring.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I was in tears 😭 what a moment with the Bloodline. I couldn't believe what unfolded. Spectacular! Love how this story still can go anywhere and it's super creative. Super emotional. Nothing will ever be like it!
@Mauzer huh? I don't drink milk 🤣
@Matthew Aqrawi yeah frfr ! It shows that that friendship will always be there... Love how it can still go anywhere here
@Blacca 😂😂 big facts i waited last night for the Bloodline 😂😂😂 got to wait till Friday🫣🥹😩😩
lay off the soymilk…🤨
I can’t believe it, Sami went from a suck up to the bloodline to this heart breaking moment
The mid air collision was banger.
This WM consists the essence of WM 2012
Cody Rhodes just proved a major point. It’s never too late… never thought he’d be here when I was a kid playing wwe2k10 and Cody and Ted being a tag team that he would win the rumble one day.
Was a great Royal Rumble! I was there! I LOVED IT, respect for Cody Rhodes 👍
That Move with Logan and Ricochet was sick!
Smmie completely hit the wrong 1. Lol This was bad mistake by Sammie
@Link27 Fr fr Ricochet would pull off those tactics better and he's a joy to watch too
@Link27 Fr fr Ricochet would pull off those tactics better and he's a joy to watch too
@Lupe Guillen we're not allowed to call out other cool moves just because wrestlers from the ECW and Attitude Era pulled off similar moves?
Beautiful. Just beautiful and emotionally moving storytelling with the bloodline. I watched aew from 2021 August (because of Punk) to December 2022. I just couldn't watch it anymore. In all that time I never saw anything a quarter as good as the bloodline. This is what the business is all about. Wwe understands sports entertainment better than anybody on the planet.

I'm disappointed in Jimmy. I'm disgusted with Paul heyman and Roman Reigns. And I feel great being a wwe fan😲😢🤯🤪😂🤩. Amazing. So many emotions at once. Fantastic.
I absolutely agree ✅✅✅
@Blacca thanks 😊🙏
LOL... Your comment, alone, sent me on a rollercoaster. 😉
The roar from the crowd when sami hits roman jstt unreal😳❤️
Or when Edge returned
This was my first live WWE event (was a christmas gift to me and my brother from his girlfriend) and goodness it was a night I will never forget, hands down best night of year and it's barely started.
The look on Drew's face upon seeing Logan Paul entering the ring 🤣
That's the reaction of sheamus also in whole rumble match
This event was amazing. Full of action, suspense, great storytelling, and set up potential feuds down the line that fans can sink their teeth into.
Here are the following feuds that should happen.
Seth Rollins vs. Logan Paul
Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther
Logan Paul vs. Ricochet
Sheamus vs. Brock Lensar
Montez Ford vs. Austin Theory
Gunther vs. Brock Lensar
Rhea Ripley vs. Beth Phoenix
Bianca Belair vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Auska vs. Bianca Belair
Zelina Vega vs. Asuka
Becky Lynch vs. Lacey Evans
Liv Morgan vs. Bayley
Shotzi vs. Nikki Cross
We can always talk about how great The Bloodline story, how amazing was the return of Rhodes. But, man let’s just give a round of applause to Gunther’s performance!
@Matthew Aqrawi I want to know if Rey Mysterio is the #1 contender, if not then this is false advertisement.
Why is everyone saying the ending will never be forgotten lol, we have had so many endings that were emotional and I’m sure this won’t be the last. People are always in the moment then they move on
Cody must have been promised a wrestlemania match as 1 of his many conditions to return to The World Wrestling Federation. I still think he sucks, it's not like they're going to give him any titles because Roman Reigns is never going to lose that belt. I'm also assuming he didn't lose it to Owens because I only saw the Rumble match and then turned off the television.
Nobody has answered my question about the fruit bowl haircuts. I need answers damn it
Gunther always puts on a great show.
I would like to thank Rhea for making my birthday wish come true! An incredible performance all the way from the #1 spot. Truly remarkable 👏 🖤
@Gregory Brandenburger except smackdown womens championship.....
@Nitheesh VI I hope so also. One thing I notice about this new era is that title runs last a bit too long for my taste.
Rhea , the true athlete..... She knows sell a move, do a move with impact, and great heelish smile.... She know to handle crowd .. The best.... Hopes she will dethrone Bianca or Charlotte....
@Muscle Man Thank you.
Yeah it was truly remarkable and happy birthday.
The ending of the show is something never to be forgotten.
I've renewed my Network subscription for the first time since 2015, they've been on fire for the last few months. Bloodline and Sami, the tag division as a whole, Brock v Bobby, the fall and rise of Austin Theory, Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio getting all the heel heat, Michael Cole making honest and passionate calls - this is the WWE I've missed, hope it continues for years to come
Great show overall. Definitely way better than last year. I give it an 9.5.
Except pitch black and Raw womens championship matches.... Rest is above expectation.... Neatly scripted Royal Rumbles🥰🥰🥰
I was motivated to watch the Royal Rumble match after seeing many old Royal Rumble matches on KZclip, but that Roman Reigns - Sami storyline is the most compelling story I've seen in YEARS! The Rock & Austin returning are things I come back for, but IMO this is one of the only times the current roster finally did something really great!
The bloodline segment, Was storytelling at its best. Sami's face throughout this segment was brilliant.
@Jack Kinoff Thank Youuuuu,finally someone had the balls to say it. It sucks there’s not many layers to it and Cody barely got any sortve Pop.Was a lackluster Rumble if you ask me.
@Dwayne Foley I guess cornette is right. The matches don't matter in the wwe.
section bloodline story line end up to a mess .. still bubba ray dudley his aces of eights the best unique storyline.. bloodline story like old decade storyline backstabbing its very common
@Dwayne Foley 🤡
@Jack Kinoff 🤡
I have always told this, the bloodline story was always about Jey Uso, not about Roman or Sami. The story has been going since sept 2020. The dude was forced into submission and manipulated into the bloodline bcoz he had to stop Roman from killing jimmy in that hell in a cell match. Then he was always wary about sami in the bloodline bcoz he was manipulated into thinking it was all for their family. When he finally came through to sami, he realized his family was wrong the whole time.
The men's was great even if the winner was too predictable it was still a fun match. Gunther was awesome in this match and the finishing sequence between him and Cody were fantastic. congratulations Cody Rhoades.
The Women's royal rumble was in my opinion a really fun and action packed rumble match. Congratulations Rhea Ripley on the win you deserve it. Great performance by Liv Morgan she and Ripley started and ended the match.
The ending was great with Sami and Bloodline and this is how you deliver on Long-term storytelling.
Man it's just awesome seeing Logan in WWE. how far he's come since 2017, how much he's grown, how much he's matured, it's honestly just awesome.
Asuka's new look and the theme song was everything!!! ❤️😍💖❣️💕💘❤️
Did she win was it a singles match and who won between roman an owens
This was always Jey’s storyline. Sami was the most climatic chapter in all of this. It’s like you play the game as one character for a bit, then it switches to another. At this point, we’re back with Jey now in the story.
12:18
It was very similar to Rollins' betrayal. The same hit, the incredible surprise of the audience and Roman falling in the same way. That was very good.
@nightmares Absolutely. A very accurate point.
It was the same intensity but the Rollins betrayal was intense hate and this was intense joy
@Matthew Aqrawi roman never needed to welcome sami in the bloodline.
Yet He did .
And it was an attack on the throne.
On the head of the table
On the tribal chief
It was just missing the "NOOOOOOO" shout from that one guy in the crowd
Maybe more intense than I remember Rollins
Story telling at its best. It’s difficult to think of any other wrestling storyline that has been this emotional. Brilliant.
@Matthew Aqrawi yes. That’s something no one saw coming. But the delivery and post incident emotions was better in this imo.
True that, also hard to see the crowd was really rooting for Sami the whole time
The shield was a emotional storyline when Rollins attacked I would say the Rollins betrayal was something that only happens every century.
Estoy contento y emocionado de que Cody Rouse aya vuelvo en Royal rombo y que allá ganado la batalla de su lesión como la batalla real muchas felicidades ahora quiero verte luchar pronto en raw
The story of bloodline will be remembered forever ❤️
@Matthew Aqrawi its very different.
Bloodline in itself is one of its kind .
Welcoming an outsider and then getting betrayed by him .
I'm so proud of Cody Rhodes... I'm so proud to know one of people is going to WrestleMania.. I wish he could do the unthinkable
@Joseph George That's his character dude characters & real life are different The Miz is actually a cool dude in real life as mostly all wrestlers that work with him say hes a nice guy so try again bud
LOL to be honest with you the Miz is the true and biggest crybaby
He only won bc he has a special contract hes a cry baby like CM Punk Tony Khan didnt wanna push him so he ran to WWE where HHH told him he'll be champion
So you say
I love Jey's reaction. He’s been there with Roman before and this moment brought it all flooding back, reminding him how manipulative Roman truly is. Remember when Roman attacked Jimmy to make Jey say "I Quit?" Jey saw Sami being loyal to his boy KO and understood that but at the same time, he's scared of what Roman will do now since he put himself on the line to defend Sami. He's not so much pissed off with Sami, more hurt because he really wants to believe that Sami is his dawg, but Sami betrayed his trust and now he wonders why Sami would throw him under the bus like that.
Jey was the only legit one of the group: It took time for Sami to earn his trust, but when he did, it was real. It was the others who were using Sami and who were ready to abandon him at a moment's notice.
The callback to The Shield also makes Roman a somewhat sympathetic villain imo and explains why he runs such a tight ship: He's felt betrayal from a guy he considered a brother before and doesn't want it from his own family or anyone he lets into his family, especially after all he feels he's done for them.
I love layered, slowburn storytelling like this.
One day, Roman gonna learn to stop turning his back on people with chairs...
Lmfao, How should He know if He's going to get Hit by Them or not ??????????? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💀🤡💀🤡💀💀🤡💀💀
I like u it's reesh 👍
Not until the script demands him to
According to script he will do it for his entire career.
Bruh this was a great to start to 2023 to WWE, so many good things, from Booker’s return, Drew and Sheamus going beast mode, Gunther becoming the new definition of ironman, Bobby throwing out Brock and making him rage, Cody winning, Ricochet being impressive as always, Asuka bringing Kana to WWE, Edge and Beth returning, Michelle McCool returning, Rhea winning from number 1, Bianca retaining, Uncle Howdy commuting Suicide, Corbin getting knocked out, everyone teaming up on Logan (even Dominik), Liv and Raquel as well as Roxanne putting in work in the rumble, and that MAIN EVEN, im very optimistic for WWE in 2023
Seems like very great Royal Rumble PPV hate that I didn't see it bumped, Cody Rhodes for CHAMP!! 💪💯🔥
Did anyone else notice Paul’s face when Samantha was announcing the main match she absolutely killed it and Paul was just looking in awe
I don't know if they planned to have Sami go into Montreal, after this for elimination chamber. But as a heel the crowd goes crazy, him as the top baby face will be nuts. Excellent planning to ensure Sami's momentum gets pushed to WrestleMania.

That moment between Logan Paul and ricochet was amazing! Doesn't matter if you do or dont like Logan, he can go the whole way.
Facts.
He ain’t main event caliber yet but he definitely can wrestle
@badboy cryptozoo
That & Gunther were the highlights of the show. The rest of show was meh.
Logan Paul has nice wrestling skills
Gunther and Cody could have a Match that would explode right now...
Real good chemistry. Its fun to watch them.
Roman getting all those Flashbacks when he got hit by Sami with a chair, that chair shot felt the same as when Seth hit him with the chair during his days with The Shield.👌
me to 😢
5:08 best moment of royal rumble. This was pure madness 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@njn brl:re Bruh K
No ignore that
Don't rate Logan
I really can’t stand Logan Paul as a person, but the dude has got a lot of talent for sure. That was crazy.
Muy epico. 🤯
This was great. Glad to see such a huge crowd. Glad to see Cody Rhodes back and doing his thing again. WWE is definitely the big leagues. I just hate the commentary team. AEW is solid but they have a long way to go.
If you didn't think very highly of Gunther before tonight, you do now. Great performance by him, Rhea, and the whole Main event.
@LifeIsNotorious admit it. If Gunther won, there’d be way more backlash than Cody winning. You’d have people so pissed off they’d be tuning out and not watching. They’re a business they have to run it the way to keep profits coming in.
@JJGeneral1 Arcade See that “bland character” comment is the reason why these wrestlers who are actually good and deserves better recognition are not treated fair because they’re not “hype enough”. The popular people always gets first dibs. If this was a fair match, then Cody should have came out at least #10 or Gunther should have been #20. Gunther held it down to only “lose” by the popular Cody Rhodes who came out the last for the audience hype reaction.
@Catch Em nope. That’s Gunther. Feel free to join us in 2023
He's a bad boy,I hope they book him and Brock at maina.
@Liq38 that's the point. Gunther isn't flashy. He's all about the ring. Hence the Ring General. Also watch him v Dragnov from NXT UK. Absolutely a classic.
This was an unbelievable and unreal moment between Ricochet and Logan Paul 🤯
Our childhood legends getting old🥺❤️
Jey leaving reminded me of , when Chris gave up Adriana , . Jey finally accepted Sammy as a brother but then was emotionally drained of the betrayal. It’s like when Chris loved Adriana but was so hurt and finally gave her up because she was a rat. This story literally could go on for years
The way Sheamus refused to take his eyes off of Brock for a second is just as hilarious as Michael Cole going "thank goodness for otter box... I ran away, I don't know what happened"
This was the best Royal Rumble I’ve seen in so long. Maybe ever.
Roman slamming KO into the steps was absolutely brutal. That entire ending to the show was hard to watch emotionally and physically
@GoatBron23- Gunther or Damion Priest could give Roman a good match;
Hey 👋. Our Saviour Jesus Christ died so that we will live. Jesus said, "I'm the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". John 14:6.
@The GOAT of modern era ☝ What?
@Krrish Sharma yea ok sure.👌🏻
@Muhammad Asad Sami not even on Romans level for the title.
Logan has became a top tier star.That move with ricochet is Mad🤯🔥
Roman is bringing back the attitude era feeling and i love it
This PPV was truly very interesting and good. I especially enjoyed the men's rumble, the Bray Wyatt stuff (cause I am a sucker for this storyline) and of course Samis turning with Jey and Sammy showing an especially great performance.
Oh... the Bloodline and Sami's storyline isn't over yet. No way. A lot has still to come. Let's just expect some wild stuff from tomorrow up to WrestleMania!
5:13 best moment of the rumble!!❤️
Sami and Jey are absolutely carrying this bloodline story. Their characters works have been so good.
you do realize Roman is the one carrying the company right? He is the one pulling strings for all his cousins and Sami to be involved and put up a great show together
unlike all the other champions in the past that only hog the spotlight for themselves
Sami is nothing without Roman. Sami is here in main event scene because of Roman....
@Cerebral Assassin If Roman got all the heat how was they doing the heavy lifting 😂
No, every single one of the bloodline are amazing. No one is carrying anyone. Every single one of them did their role perfectly. without any one of them, the story wouldnt have been as good as it is right now
The Sami betrayal was everything I wanted and more
That’s the most excited I’ve seen a crowd get over a move in a long time
I'm not gonna lie, this is the best royal rumble of all time with a shocking ending...
This year's rumble was truly wild
The cheers when Sami hit Roman was unreal.
Incredible ending to an incredible storyline. Top notch story telling. Had me on the edge of my seat. Sammy and Jey made the right choice.
@Richy Chavez It makes sense why else would she be back?
It's not the ending.
That didn't look like shame, it looked more or less empathetic
Why handcuff ko
John Cena making Roman Reigns say “I Quit” is the only way to end the reign
That croud pop when zayn hit reigns gave me chills
Gunther is a pure gold
All his matches are gold and royal rumble performance was one of the best performance and i hope gunther will face brock at WrestleMania
That crowd pop when sami hit roman with the chair, gives me chills
As a person at the Rumble, the Men's match was so good, that it kinda burnt out the crowd for the rest of the night.
I just love to see Edge's Royal rumble entrance. Insane pop every time
Honestly enjoyed this royal rumble - great to see Gunther get his shine in the match itself and happy to see Cody get his due. But the bloodline stuff, the ending was art, Sami’s face, jey walking off, jimmy telling jey “he ain’t your brother, IM YOUR BROTHER” flippin amazing
Was good seeing Rollins as a baby face face to face with Rhodes rollins still seemed to have a problem with him even though he’s a good guy now
God I'm so glad i got to watch good wrestling and great story line from like 96 to 04. No pops at the rumble just no juice in the crowd
Omg bravo to anyone and everyone who has been apart of this bloodline story. The conclusion of the RR is captivating story telling.
We finally get Triple H's WWE. And it's exactly what we wanted.
One of the best Royal Rumbles ever !!!!
Cole saying “Sami Zayn made his choice, and he’s gonna pay” was just so brilliant with this segment
The emotions between Sami and Jey were outstanding. You can feel the aura coming from these two.
OMG, This year Royal Rumble is totally the greatest one yet, and literally the Bloodline & Sami Zayn storyline took me by surprise at how it all ended with Sami finally FINALLY turning his back on the Bloodline mostly on Roman Reigns by hitting Roman in the back with the chair the same way Seth did to him long ago!!!! OMG, I thought Roman was going to the pull the trigger on Sami the whole time, but Sami was the one to betray the Bloodline first- I'm shocked and surprised by this twist, so good!!!!
And OMHG, how it all ended after the Bloodline beat up Sami and Jey literally walked out on his family in tears literally hit me so emotionally hard, dang, I feel so sorry for Jey cause he actually was the only one in the Bloodline who actually like Sami for real. And Jey seeing Roman's cruelty towards Sami makes me wondering if he's going to finally to leave Roman's team and become a babyface again as well as trying to get Jimmy out of the Bloodline with him as they might not want to be on Roman's side any longer, I don't know yet, just going to see what happens next.
The finish to the show was like old days puerly perfect!!
Edge entry is amazing crowd reaction ❤️🔥🔥🔥
I’m interested to see the storyline between Jey and Sami from now on
Greatest Battles are with Closest People 💔
Say what you want about logan Paul but you can see hes taken in every second of his time training. The walk in, the mannerisms and for a rookie part timer to pull off moves like that is seriously impressive
@BlueFacondor he a scammer
I dont think anyone has an issue with Logan Paul the performer. Many had issues with Logan Paul the scammer.
Bloodline story was insane, I hope they keep it up like this till wrestlemania
Hands down and extremely great Royal Rumble
Who miss old royal rumbles 😒💔
The Logan Paul flying clothesline one of the best moves ever seen
That ending was really brutal...
When you hv made everyone in the crowd to yell at you, you hv reached the peak of ur heel character. That's Roman Reigns after this Royal Rumble
A pro-wrestling segment with real heat, you love to see it
@Justice What do you mean by real bumps. Every wrestling match has real bumps.
@Justice wrestling is a soap opera. The whole Attitude Era was a soap opera
@Matteo Mochi As I said, I don't watch it lol. I watch Wrestlemania and the Rumble. I don't watch it week to week.
And again, that's why I asked if the "real" was back like old school wrestling where people took actual bumps and not just playing patty cake in the ring where it's just a glorified soap opera.
@Justice you watch this stuff exclusively for the fake fights ?
@Scoopersnacks You don't have to look at any of that stuff. What are you talking about? I don't have social media and don't look up behind the scenes happenings unless I want to. It's all within your power not to see any of the backstage stuff. What you said made no sense. WWE themselves don't bring any of that up. It's from outside sources.
That Logan Paul jump was the best thing that happened that match.
I love that Rhea doesn’t point at the wrestlemania banner, she waves to it.
She slightly enjoyed her win before that wave... But neatly controlled her emotions....
Hopefully the good old WWE returns, Who’s with me?
I used to watch WWE with my cousin when we were younger.. At that time there were Rey Mysterio, Batista, The Undertaker, Shawn Micheals, Kane, HHH, John Cena, Hardy Boyz... I think they were something different from this.. That WWE seasons were legendary
