#1: Royal Rumble
This year, perhaps more than any other in recent memory, the top four (or five, if you include Money in the Bank) have lived up to their billing as the best events on the WWE calendar, and that all started at the Royal Rumble.
The event was excellent for a number of reasons, not least of which because it featured the first ever all-female Royal Rumble match, which took the headlining spot on the card.
Forgetting how both Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura were booked for the rest of 2018, this year's Royal Rumble matches finally provided fans with something they have wanted for years- Royal Rumble winners they could get behind.
While the rest of the show ranged from good (Owens Vs Zayn Vs Styles) to incredibly average (Kane Vs Brock Lesnar Vs Braun Strowman) it tops this list because of just how exciting the Royal Rumble encounters were.
Both matches were hands down two of the most exciting in over a decade and they managed to remind fans exactly why they love the Royal Rumble in the first place.
This event got 2018 off to a flying start, little did we know, that it would also end up being the event of the year 11 months later.
