#6. Royal Rumble 2016

At the 2016 Royal Rumble, Mr. McMahon ordered Roman Reigns to defend his title in the battle royal itself. It was again a decent event which also marked Brock Lesnar's second-ever appearance in the Rumble.

Unlike the previous year, the result was well received by the fans. Triple H returned to WWE in a surprising fashion.

He ultimately won the whole match after overcoming the alliance of Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Though the crowd cheered on his victory, the reason behind that was Reigns' elimination.

The event would have been better if it had been Dean Ambrose who stood tall. Triple H didn't require a Royal Rumble victory as another feather in his cap.

#5. Royal Rumble 2019

The Royal Rumble 2019 was a great display of 29 men and one woman. That woman was Nia Jax who attacked R-Truth to make her way to the ring at the #30 spot.

The fans went berserk after Randy Orton RKO'ed Jax, and it would remain one of the best moments in the history of the match. Furthermore, Seth Rollins winning the event was a well-received decision that initiated his journey to become The BeastSlayer.

The surprise entrance for Jeff Jarett, Johnny Gargano, and Aleister Black will remain a moment to cherish. Moreover, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, the two final contenders, were out of the ring for a considerable amount of time. It was a great replication of Steve Austin and Vince McMahon doing the same 20 years ago.
