WWE presented a number of shocking main event matches this year
#3 The 30th annual Royal Rumble match - The Royal Rumble

The Royal Rumble set the tone for 2017 back in January
It was the 30th annual match and WWE fans were told to "Remember The Rumble" for weeks before the event, but somehow WWE made it an event that the WWE Universe couldn't wait to forget.

The only real surprise was Tye Dillinger at the Number 10 spot before it seemingly went downhill from there. Roman Reigns had been put through a table earlier in the night by Braun Strowman but was still able to shuffle out to the ring in the number 30 spot and eliminated The Undertaker.
Brock Lesnar and Goldberg continued their feud with the WCW star once again making Brock look like a joke before it was made obvious that Randy Orton would be winning the match.
Orton and Wyatt didn't even main event WrestleMania which was the entire point of The Rumble match to begin with, and their match on The Grandest Stage of Them All was another disappointing match. Hopefully, 2018 starts the road to WrestleMania in a match better way that 2017 did.
