The Geek Link writes- Last Sunday the WWE presented arguably their second top PPV, The Royal Rumble. This year’s Royal Rumble not only featured the legendary battle royale that serves as the beginning of the road to Wrestlemania, but the return of The Rock as he took on WWE Champ CM Punk. Those two matches alone made this PPV worth the price of admission. It’s just a shame that the price came with the cost of innovation. While the Rumble had some gems in there, chances are the Royal Rumble will be remembered best as the PPV that the WWE had the chance to swerve and shock us but ultimately decided to be predictable and disappointing. But does that mean Royal Rumble 2013 was bad? Let’s take a look back and find out.

I was really annoyed at the royal Rumble. I mean overall it was a pretty solid show but it was so insanely predictable it was sad. I mean we know now that the "Once in a Lifetime" Event that was The Rock vs Cena was BS cause it's 90% likely going to happen again this year as I doubt they will put the title back on Punk at elimation chamber.
My other big problem was the match between Punk and Rock. Now I'm a big punk fan so I didn't really like seeing the title change hands but I do understand that every reign has to come to an end and that is fine. But the match was crap. It wasn't very good for a match that is the end of a historic title reign. It should have been a bigger, Longer and more grand match but it wasn't. On top of that they made punk look insanely weak. I mean here is a guy they have show kick out of multiple AA's and many other finishers but a simple Peoples Elbow put him away? They couldn't let him kick out and then lose a minute or 2 later? It was just lazy and you could tell they didn't really care.
Based on what I saw here there is a solid chance I won't bother with Mania this year. The card is gonna need to look damn good to make up for what is likely be another terrible Cena vs Rock match.
why is this on the filmwatch? Surely it should be on the sports section 11x2?
as soon as cena won the match that straight away told who would win the main event. I can understand rock vs cena 2 makes money even though it didn't produce a good match last year.
the interesting thing is where do they take punk? one thing that could be interesting is punk trying to end the streak to solidify himself as the best in the world. not the most creative booking but it would produce some great mic work from punk
the rock draws more then the entire wwe locker-room put together so of course he should be champ its great for wwe stock. You have to look at it from a business standpoint.
i liked the rock vs cm punk match way better than cena vs rock match back at the previous wrestlemania though it would be better if there were a couple of kick-outs in the end that would make the match more dramatic and satisfying. as for the rumble itself was good but I just didn't like cena to win it because it was so predictable and it takes away the whole entertainment of the 30 man royal rumble.
