The Stakes: A guaranteed WWE Universal or WWE World Championship match at Wrestlemania 34.

Match Rating (Via Wrestling Observer Newsletter): 4.25 stars.

Every year the WWE's Royal Rumble Match features shocking surprises, unexpected guests, and some sort of chicanery by Kofi Kingston to avoid elimination. The 2018 Royal Rumble match did all of that, and so much more.

With a guaranteed WWE main event title match at Wrestlemania 34 on the line, the athletes brought their best game to the table. Some of the highlights include the surprise entry of Shane "Hurricane" Helms, Randy Orton delivering an RKO for the ages to a flying Andrade Cien Almas, and Kofi Kingston's foot landing on a stack of pancakes, thereby avoiding elimination in his usual fashion.
