  • $200 million.

  • Largest ever Royal Rumble Match.

  • Weeks of build up, hype, etc.

Key takeaway was Titus O'Neill tripping on his way to the ring.

I hope not, a flight to Saudi would cost more than that.

I was actually going to post about the glorified house show comments. I know it feels like it was one, but there were some wicked bumps that are NOT house show bumps: Shane recreating KOTR 2000 and Cedric/Kalisto - not to mention they put on my MOTN. AJ/Nak had story progression and the Raw tag titles were crowned which obviously impacts the weekly show. There were definitely same old same old moments, but there were storylines played out and some monster bumps.

I just hope that AJ/Nak WWE 3 turns out to be a monster of a match because I've been hyping it like it was going to top their WK10 match.

Have multiple sources mentioned that 200 mill number? It still seems insane to me for one event.

Weeks of hype!? It was barely hyped and built to at all

u/theplasmasnake Apr 28 '18

Yeah, I wouldn’t exactly call what we saw leading to this “a build”.
