5 ways the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble could have been better

#4. The entry order of the women's Royal Rumble

Frankly, this could be said about either of this year's Royal Rumble matches. However, with the men's bout significantly worse than the women's - we'd say "arguably" but... come on - let's just go over one of the few things we didn't care about the ladies' match.

Brent Brookhouse of CBSsports.com worded the biggest issue we had with the women's Royal Rumble match in his review of the show, saying:

"The match overall was a bit clunky with too many women who aren't used to working together all getting stuck in the match and slowing things down."

Not everybody involved in the women's Royal Rumble match - or either of the matches, honestly - is considered a "good worker," but each of them deserved to be there. Like Brookhouse said, however, part of the issue with the bout came from the participants not being familiar with each other.

Some rearranging of the order would have gone a long way towards taking care of that problem. Changing the order so that the wrestlers currently on the roster (and, thus, the ones used to working with each other) spend the most time together, and the returning stars spaced out more, would have gone a long way towards improving the pacing of the match.

This isn't a major change, as the women's Royal Rumble match was, overall, pretty decent (as far as we're concerned, anyway), but spacing out some of these returns and surprises would have made things flow a lot better.

Speaking of entry order, let's look at the men's match again...
