Royal Ramble 2024

Well… on a rather “uneventful” week of news, we got a rather “uneventful” Rumble.

Would’ve been nice if it were true…

So, yes, there was a particularly dark cloud that preceded over what initially began as a rather big week of development in WWE – notably the announcement of a monumental deal with Netflix that would see the streaming service become the new home of Monday Night RAW in 2025 as well as all subsequent WWE Network content outside the United States, which means that come 2025, Canada can watch WWE material on Netflix and the WWE Network would be no more. And I’ve made a post on that when the news broke.

And then… the other thing happened… I’m sure you know what I’m talking about…

I’m not going to say anything regarding that piece of business. There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said and quite honestly, I would be doing nothing but adding more white noise to a ball of white noise surrounding a dreadfully disturbing situation that is still developing and will continue to do so for quite some time. Maybe some day… but not today.

In any event, I did watch some of the Rumble live, but not all of it. I ended up getting caught up with the rest of the show during the week. As to why this took longer than usual… well, other stuff came up, but I’m afraid there’s not much I could say abut the show. The card was fairly light – only four matches – but when two of those matches are the annual Royal Rumbles – it’s easy to forgive the lightweight content.

Anyway, let’s check this show out.

Royal Ramble 2023

So this took a little while longer than usual… because as it turns out, I had quite a bit to say.

First off, this show did huge numbers, so regardless of what I or anyone else has to say critically about the show itself, WWE is currently on a hot streak that I don’t think it’s had in a good long while. There’s some good stuff going on there right now and there’s actually a sense of hope that things will continue to get better despite the presence of some stuff that might hinder that a bit.

Now with that said, was the Rumble show any good? Well, let’s dive in.

Royal Ramble 2014

Yeah, this is a noteworthy show… one of those shows that ends up being memorable for all the wrong reasons. If there is any one show you could point as the beginning of the crumbling of WWE’s product… well, there’s plenty of those that do a far better job of that than this show, but I guess we can throw this in the hat.
