[4.0] "This show equaled out to a 4 mainly off of Seth v Roman , and the Grit v It couple not being to bad, but the rumble matches were not great at all the mens one was a dud it was just so so bad, it is a kinda fun bad on a rewatch tho"

[5.0] "Very underwhelming and below average. If it weren't for the opener and women's rumble, this would've been a definite 3/10. But the opener was an Astonishing match between Rollins and Roman, and the women's rumble was filled with good spots, returns, storytelling and entertainment. Everything that followed those 2... was really bad. The mixed tag match between beth, edge and maryse with miz was okay, but Brock vs Lashley was horrible alongside the men's rumble, and Becky vs Doudrop was pretty boring aside 3 spots. Not a good show, and very below par when it comes to a royal rumble."

[3.0] "This is my review on Royal Rumble 2022: Roman Reigns (c) VS Seth Rollins [***1/4] Women's Royal Rumble [**1/2] Becky Lynch (c) VS Doudrop [**1/4] Brock Lesnar (c) VS Bobby Lashley [**] Edge & Beth Phoenix VS The Miz & Maryse [***] 30-Man Royal Rumble [3/4*] Overall 3/10 Horrible Show."

[4.0] "The opener and Lashley/Lesnar were good but the rest of the matches were very average or pretty bad."

[5.0] "The Reigns/Rollins match was fantastic despite the finish, both Rumble matches were average, Lesnar/Lashley was fun, and the other two were unessential and rather boring. Overall this show was underwhelming for what was promised on paper, but I wouldn't call it a bad show."

[0.0] "Is this the worst Royal Rumble in the history of the event? I think so. It's perfectly indicative as to how bad the product was at the time despite having a great roster. Nothing redeemable here. My rating differs a lot? Doesn't look like it to me. Anyway, this event is terrible."

[7.0] "Very subpar compared to other Royal Rumble Premium Live Events and Pay Per Views, however there's still a lot to enjoy here. Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins was a 10 / 10 match for me, with long term story telling that continues to this very day 3 years later, the women's rumble was fine (though winner didn't set well with me) and the men's royal rumble was potentially their worst ever, with not a lot to enjoy. The rest was all filler no killer, nothing outside of the lesnar lashley match impressed me at all, but nothing particularly abhorrent"

[4.0] "A pretty subpar show really, nothing memorable, some bad matches on it (including the men's rumble), and the best match on it lacked real heat and wasn't that great for a pay-per-view. Most certainly a skipper. The less said about this event the better."

[2.0] "The last Royal Rumble event with Vince McMahon as the head of creative and it is the purest example of just how creatively bankrupt WWE was in the start of 2022. The opening match between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns was easily the match of the night. I like Seth playing mind games by coming out in Shield attire but all of the good was completely undone by a bullshit DQ finish. I didn't understand it then and I still don't understand why they just didn't have Reigns beat Seth outright. The women's Royal Rumble match was uneventful as Ronda Rousey made her surprise return by last eliminating Charlotte, who was SmackDown Women's Championship by the way. You could tell that Rousey was completely checked out by that point and the fans felt that. Becky Lynch and Doudrop for the Raw Women's Championship was serviceable but nobody could take Doudrop seriously and I think Becky still had some heat from what happened at SummerSlam. The WWE Championship match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar was more of an angle than a match when Paul Heyman expectedly turned on Brock. The mixed tag match pairing the married couples of Edge and Beth Phoenix against The Mix and Maryse was quite uneventful.The main event was even more boring than the women's Rumble as Brock Lesnar won. The match had a weak field and Brock came out as the last entract and tossed out everyone to the apathy of the audience. Nobody wanted Brock to win another Rumble and main-event another goddamn WrestleMania with Roman Reigns. The feud was completely overdone and WWE tried to spark interest by having Brock win back the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber to turn into an unification match. This show was very mediocre and started the Road to WrestleMania 38 off to a bad start."

[4.0] "I can see why this show pissed so many people off. Who the f*ck was clamoring to see Roman vs Brock Part 372? Not including Vince McMahon who Im convinced gets off on that match. Some things on the show gets overhated."

[7.0] "I do not agree with the assessment of the overall show. In general, I have a much better attitude towards almost every match of the show than the assessment from the users of the site. What I didn't really like was the main event. However, otherwise it was a pretty good show with some pretty good matches and one that didn't disappoint me personally. The best was definitely the Seth vs. Roman match, as well as the Lesnar vs. Lashley match. However, I also found the women's matches enjoyable. As far as I'm concerned, the show is safe to watch and I'm ready to give it 7/10"

[0.0] "All of people would say that 2015 is the worst Royal Rumble show but for my money it's Royal Rumble (2022) instead because it has not one but two awful rumble matches both men's and women's. Aside from the pretty great Reigns Vs Rollins match everything about this show is the worst definition of filler. I hate this with all my heart and soul."

[2.0] "The decline of Vince McMahon's creative juices knows no bounds. The booking to have Lesnar drop the title to win the Rumble, then win the title back, to set up the unification match at WrestleMania, was convoluted in the extreme, and Lashley got injured during the match too! A complete waste of time."

[3.0] "Terrible show, i was really upset at the end, bad choices after bad choices the only high of the show was Rollins vs Reigns match, very good match, i was hopping the storyline would continue in seing the end but no. Except the opener, all the matches were awful and Brock winning the Rumble was the peak of nullity."

[0.0] "The show is terrible; Rollins comes off as foolish, and Rousey's victory feels too effortless. The WWE title match is a disaster; to be blunt, Lashley's technical skills leave much to be desired. The men's Royal Rumble match is truly disappointing, with Lesnar at number 30seriously, what's with that decision?"

[1.0] "Rollins trolling Reigns with the Shield getup was cool, McAfee's surprise return was cool, but that was about it. Worst Rumble card top-to-bottom."

[1.0] "There's nothing i hate more in wrestling than dq finishes on ppv and saying the best match on the card ended in a dq it says everything about this whole ppv, absolute garbage"

[5.0] "Great opener but the show really fell apart after that with 2 poorly booked Rumbles and a very disappointing womens match and a poor mixed tag. Not a good show"

[4.0] "It kinda sucked. Extremely predictable and not many good surprises . Not many positive things to say about this one sadly."

[3.0] "What a waste of time, i love royal rumbles and watch them everytime but this was genuinely dreadful, the biggest dissapointment was the male rumble itself, boring most of the time and a terrible ending, brock winning just like that was so annoying, the other matches were the same: boring and not worth watching. The only good match was Rollins vs Reigns but it's not like it was insane or something, just good, Lashley vs Lesnar was decent too but nothing special. Overall a boring show, very dissapointing"

[5.0] "Yeah, not great. Though (and this is very unusual for a WWE PPV) I think I was slightly higher on it than most. I think some of the low ratings are purely results-driven as opposed to match quality. If that's your approach to rating... you do you I guess. [Roman vs Seth] - 3.5 stars (Match of the Night). [Women's Rumble] - 2.25 stars. [Becky vs Doudrop] - 1.25 stars (Worst of the Night). [Lesnar vs Lashley] - 3 stars. [Beth/Edge vs Miz/Maryse] - 2.5 stars. [Men's Rumble] - 2 stars. Average match rating: 2.42 of 5 stars (or 4.84 of 10). Rounded to 5 for Cagematch."

[5.0] "super boring PLE, the only thing i liked was the seth rollins vs roman reigns match, brock's win was just a disappointment for the whole show."

[3.0] "Unfortunately, this was an underwhelming and dull event. The first match was great, until the finish which was pretty typical for WWE. The rest of the card was pretty alright, nothing bad, but nothing too memorable. The main event hadn't really clicked for me, nothing really went on up until Drew McIntyre returned. But with some booking decisions that I disagree with, this match just wasn't for me."

[6.0] "Not that bad, some things were piss poor tho. Generally decent but the rumble I wanted more. Disappointed overall"

[2.0] "Why am I not surprised that a ppv generally tends to suck whenever Roman Reigns and/or Brock Lesnar are heavily featured? Both men's obnoxious pushes pretty much ruined the whole ppv since the WHOLE Men's Rumble match was sacrificed just to get those bores over. Hell, Bobby Lashley won the WWE title here (which feels like ancient history now at this point), and it was almost forgotten because God forbid that someone else shines instead of Roman Reigns (or even Brock Lesnar since he ended up winning the rumble match that he didn't deserve in the first place). The ppv sucked overall largely due to both men."

[5.0] "First two matches were brilliant, but the rest of the night had sadly gone to shit. Infuriating men? s rumble, bad women? s title match and the below-average mixed tag ruined this for me. My advice for anyone who wants to watch it is turn off the TV after the first 2 matches."

[7.0] "Both Rumbles were decent and had surprising winners to me at least, although the chosen men that were participating were disappointing. The women's title match and the mixed were both forgettable, but they did produce some enjoyable moments. Lashley and Lesner had a good confrontation, but the match of the night went to Reigns and Rollins, which was amazing from start to finish. Rollins/Reigns (9) Women's Rumble (6) Lynch/Doudrop (5.5) Lashley/Lesnar (7) Phoenix&Edge/Maryse&Miz (5.5) Men's Rumble (6)"

[6.0] "Reigns versus Rollins was amazing, I enjoyed Lashley versus Lesnar. Both rumbles were ok at best. The Rest of these matches were not very good at all. Overall a bland harmless package"

[1.0] "When the only almost good match on the show is a world title match that ends on a DQ? That's a bad show. That's very, very bad show."

[8.0] "Guys, keep it simple. Don't try to look for the bad in everything. I will briefly say simply based on the results of the matches. Rollins' victory, as far as I remember, did not lead to anything in the future, after that they did not hear a word about each other afterwards. Ronda - I love her, here's the buzz, a big name is ratings and money. Lynch, perhaps at this point her title-reign, had her best defense. Lashley and Lesnar were harshly hacked, Heyman's betrayal surprised. Mixed tag team match upset the result, but not the quality. The main event gives genuine emotions, I couldn't sit still when Shane collided with Kevin and Drew. And in general... Okay, try it."

[4.0] "An OK royal rumble show that unfortunately underdelivered in nearly every respect, the opener was good despite the DQ finish and the women's rumble was actually fun. However, everything else ranged from forgetable to straight up poor. The Men's royal rumble was actually ok although I can understand people's frustations. Then again, once Brock lost the WWE title, him winning the rumble was a given."

[0.0] "it was a waste of time.the decisions doesn't makes any sense and the terrible booking of the both rumble matches were awful"

[3.0] "This one started out well enough, with a very good Reigns vs. Rollins match, but was downhill from there. After all the recent releases, the women's Rumble suffered from the same issue the first women's Rumble did; a roster too small to actually fill out 30 spaces leading to an overreliance on former talent (to be fair, Ivory made the most of her appearance - at age 60! - and it was kind of wild to see Mickie come out with her Impact music and belt), and Rousey was a predictable winner. The Lesnar-Lashley bout underdelivered, and Lynch-Doudrop and "It Couple vs. Grit Couple" came off as filler. The men's Rumble was also rather pedestrian, with a notably disappointingly-unceremonious exits for Styles, after he was built up from the #1 spot, and Owens, tossed by the soon-to-disappear Shane. The winner here was also predictable as soon as Lesnar appeared. One of the lesser recent Rumble events to be sure."

[4.0] "Overall pretty lackluster PPV, which happens to be one of my favorite PPV's as I love the Royal Rumble match. This years Royal Rumble match was pretty bad, only match I thoroughly enjoyed was Roman vs Seth which had a terrible ending to it."

[3.0] "I rate this event a 3. It wasn't the worst show WWE has put out but it's certainly among one of the most boring. I'm a lapsed fan and I stopped consuming their products. I went in this PPV as part of a yearly tradition and knowing full well that I will not watch any other stuff from WWE after that. Still, I was genuinely excited for this event: it's really hard to screw up a Royal Rumble, Mickie James' appearance (and the subsequent rumors about wrestlers from other companies) and the prospect of seeing Lesnar against Lashley really intrigued me. And even tough I won't watch it, I was also sincerely curious about what the card for Wrestlemania will look like. So I went in with an open heart and fully expecting to be entertained for at least part of the events. It didn't happen. Rollins/Reigns was a decent enough match about a storyline I stopped caring several years ago and involving two guys I never particularly liked. The wrestling was fine and well opened the event but the finish absolutely sucked. Some people are clamoring online that it's really making sense for their personal story. That's fine and all but I don't understand how people still expect a modicum of storylines from WWE. The women's rumble was a mess and it really seemed like they had trouble filling it with their own roster. I was baffled by some of the eliminations (ex.: Melina, Banks) and I'm still shocked that they are pushing Flair the way they are. All in all, I didn't cared much for the match but it was cool that a lot of those women got a nice paycheck out of it. The most exciting part of Lynch/Doudrop was the Wrestlemania sign catching on fire. Lashley/Lesnar felt like a joke. I wasn't asking much: I just wanted these two huge guys, with legit MMA background, going at it on each other for whatever time they wanted. It would have been a 5 minutes slugger fest and I would have been happy enough. They didn't do that. They went weird and pushed another storyline that's been getting progressively confusing as time went on. Don't get me wrong: I love long hanging stories in wrestling but WWE showed me one too many times they aren't to be trusted in that department. The results of this latest mach got me mad enough to not pay attention to whatever Miz&Maryse/Edge&Beth was. I was watching a 10 minutes video on facebook about a guy building his own homemade grill with an old gas canister and that was cool. He build a bunch of other stuff as well. He also build a pizza furnace out of a bath and a yoga ball so that was surprising. Anyway, the men rumble started and I felt my evening was already done. Fortunately, the match itself was really fine and it had some fun moments. Ironically, the two non-wrestlers of the show did the better wrestling of the entire match and entertained me the most. Most of my points goes for that match. And in the end, I didn't mind that Brock won the Rumble - it's not like I'm gonna watch Wrestlemania anyway."

"Aside from Rousey winning the womens WM, not too bad of a PPV. Mens Rumble needed more surprises and the Doudrop match was lackluster. Aside from all that, good PPV. Reigns retains, Rollins is protected by DQ. Heyman betrayal on Lesnar looked good."

[3.0] "This was a very disappointing show with its only saving grace being the opening match. Every other match was either bad (the 2 rumble matches, the Mix-tag, and Raw women's match) or alright (the WWE championship match). What I hated about this wasn't that the results were predictable (which they were) but that they did't even try to do anything interesting along the way."

[3.0] "Really enjoyed the Rollin's vs Seth match, but the ending did feel a little bit sour, even with the after match attack. This had probably the best women's rumble I've watched, mostly due to the surprise entrants, but the ending & the entire men's rumble left me pretty disappointed. The highlight of the night was the sign catching fire and I think that says it all."

[3.0] "The opening match was the best match. The women's Rumble wasn't good, but it was kinda fun for what it was. The rest was completely forgettable, even though the men's Rumble is at least something most wrestling fans are curious about, even if it's out of nostalgia/tradition, regardless of the outcome and how good or bad it actually is."

"Women's rumble was decently fun. Probably relied on too many call-backs, but otherwise was entertaining until the entrance of Ronda. Men's Rumble was a disaster. Wish they'd included some NXT stars throughout the night."

[5.0] "Disappointing PPV, despite that the card looked good on paper. Reigns vs Rollins was a great match with Seth's Shield entrance and the way he was getting under Roman's skin. Unlike others I liked the DQ finish too, and the match could have been a great feud opener, but sadly it was most probably a one timer only between the two of them. The women's rumble was absolutely boring with only a couple of good face offs and a lot of meaningless legend entrants. I hated the fact that Ronda won it. I didn't like her very much during her first run, but she looked completely out of shape now. I couldn't care less if she faces Becky or Charlotte on Wrestlemania, because both feuds are become cold in the past 3 years. Becky vs Doudrop was a decent match, but I think nobody believed that Doudrop had any chance to win the title from Becky (especially after Rousey's victory), so nobody were invested in it. Lesnar vs Lashley could have been better on its own, but it just served the Brock-Roman feud with a predictable finish. The Mixed tag match was surprisingly entertaining and served its purpose. The men's rumble was a complete boredom too, with a lot of jobbers and meaningless elminations. After what happened to him in the title match before, it was predictable that Lesnar would come last and won the whole thing. He didn't needed this win, but I am okay with that from the booking point of view. In summary, it was not a bad ppv and it had one great match on it, but the two rumbles was totally boring, which is the biggest insult for this match tpye."

[2.0] "Probably the most disappointing WWE PPVs of all time. No progress was made with this ppv. Opening match was great up until DQ finish which WWE seems to over do. Women's royal rumble was decent but fell short with a returning Rousey winning the match by eliminating Flair who had no reason to be in the match with her already being champion which shows the lack of depth of the women's roster due to recent "budget cuts". Becky vs Doudrop was a decent match as well but never felt like there was any chance for Doudrop to win it. Brock v Bobby was another good match which was overshadowed by the end with interference from Reigns and imo made Bobby look undeserving of the win. The mixed gender match was ok but felt like an after thought. Men's rumble which was probably the worst match of the night and worst rumble since 2015. There was no reason for Lesnar to win the rumble since the seeds were already planted for Reigns v Lesnar with the interference during the WWE Championship match. The win could have been used to elevate talent but was used for another part timer."

[4.0] "A good opener, an entertaining mixted match, some funny moments in the women royal rumble ... And that's all. See you next year with, I hope, a better show."

"This show is not bad. But it is incredibly boring and standard, which is probably worse at this point. Everything about it felt rote and predictable, and there's very little that I can actually remember moving on from it. If anything, the biggest issue was the music. Nobody's got a clear theme outside of a very small handful, which kind of destroys the Rumble's presentation as there's no way of knowing exactly who's showing up."

[5.0] "Not as bad as a show as its made out to be but Brock and Ronda had no right winning those matches at all."

[2.0] "This show was bad, make no mistake about it. Whilst it wasn't the worst show I've ever seen, by any means (WCW GAB 91 potentially takes that cake! ), it was an encapsulation of everything wrong with modern day WWE. Terrible finishes (the opener had potentially the dumbest finish to a match I've had the misfortune to watch), an over reliance on nostalgia 'pops', tepid and uninteresting in-ring action, awful commentary, and besides Roman, Brock and Ronda, ABSOLUTELY NO STARS! I couldn't believe the cavalcade of midcard bums who kept making their way down at the buzzer, none of whom had a hope in Hell's chance of winning these Rumbles. The guys who got the most shine in the men's match were Brock Lesnar, Shane McMahon and niche rapper and non-wrestler Bad Bunny! Which is about a shocking an indictment as you can get on the state of the current product. The women's Rumble featured some of the most horrible exchanges you'll ever see, and almost half of the field were either part timers or old faces brought in mainly to get eliminated in around a minute. However, it wasn't even in the same realm of unwatchably dull that the men's was. Becky vs. Doudrop (by far the worst name a wrestler has anywhere nowadays) was boring, felt like it went forever, and was performed in front of silence. I can't even comprehend how far Lynch's star has fallen since returning. Brock/Lashley was profoundly disappointing. It was the same old, same old, and featured a lazy, uninspired finish that we've seen literally thousands of times. The mixed tag was ok, but entirely forgettable, and then there's Roman vs. Seth. The best match on the show by a country mile, but all their effort was for naught, as the finish was just wretched. I'll refrain from writing an essay on it, but suffice to say, Seth was hardly protected in that he'd have been better off just losing as opposed to being choked to death, declared the winner by the most incompetent refereeing I think I've ever seen, then his unconscious body is hammered with a chair for 5 straight minutes afterwards. Just bad, and you know they thought it was 'super creative', whereas it was actually just typical WWE nonsense in that they over complicated it to utterly ridiculous levels. This show felt like the chickens coming home to roost for WWE, in that they've spent a decade refusing to make any new stars beyond Roman, cut the legs off anyone who had the temerity to get over, and have an entire lockeroom of midcarders. I was actually flabbergasted that Goldberg wasn't in the Rumble, because why not' WWE is in drastic need of a change, this sea of boring mediocrity just isn't good enough."

[3.0] "What an underperforming night. Starting with Rollins vs Reigns, was a great start with a solid storytelling based bout. They played well their old references and matches but for sure, that DQ finish wasn't properly executed thought made sense to ended by DQ. Just not the best way to DQ that match. From there, the night went totally out of control. The Women Rumble wasn't as bad as other years but Ronda's win wasn't necessary since she got enough star power to have a good match at Mania by her own. This is also the same problem the Men Royal Rumble will have later tonight. After that dissapointment in a lot of fans, the rest of the card felt like a waste of time, just really trying to skip into the main event right away. Lynch vs Doudrop wasn't that bad but a bit anticlimatic bout on the card, Lesnar vs Lashley didn't deliver as much as the "Dream match" it was supposed to be. And Edge & Phoenix vs Miz & Maryse felt like a filler... The Men Rumble was mediocre booked. Veterans like AJ, Owens, McIntyre or even hometown star Randy Orton or new stars such as Riddle or Theory should be the winners, since they really needed the match to push for WM stardom. Lesnar vs Reigns is already an overbooked and overwrited story, but since they really want that match to be the main event, they needed to give the Rumble to Lesnar. A terrible decision for the future. With just the opener delivering good wrestling until the end, this might be one of the worst Rumble ever. Probably a 3-4/10."

[3.0] "Honestly it wasn't THAT bad, but every match was either boring, predictable, or both aside from Reigns/Rollins. The moment that Ronda and Brock entered their respective rumbles it was obvious that they would win but thats far from the only issue that the rumbles had. The women's rumble had a ton of nostalgia entrants and not much action of note. The men's rumble was bizarre, there were about 10 consecutive entrants who were total nobodies, you will always have entrants like that in the rumble but so many one after another made the match very boring. Brock winning was totally unnecessary, he already had a valid reason to get a rematch with Bobby or even to challenge Roman so it was really a waste of a rumble. It accomplished nothing and made a bunch of people look a whole lot worse."

[1.0] "Well, it's wrong from what we expected from WWE. I have to give 1 point for a very good match, Roman vs Seth."

[2.0] "I'm not mad about results from this show. I don't care if Brock or Ronda won. It's how terrible the matches are to get where it ended. The rumbles were poorly timed and poorly participated in. So much talent he been fired, how do you make this work well' The three title matches were solid but two had bad finishes that took away from them being great. Becky/Doudrop was a solid match that lost any crowd engagement because the mania sign caught fire. There's something about that Vince should take a hint from and he won't. On paper, this could have been a great show for WWE. In execution, bottom of the barrel."
