Hardly ever talked about in the WWE's current climate, Royal Rumble 2019 is one of the biggest hidden gem pay-per-views in recent history. The card was stacked, certainly, the most stacked a Royal Rumble has been. Aside from the two 30-person showcases, there were two world title matches, a tag title match and two of the biggest women's title matches WWE could book, aside from the WrestleMania main event.

The females did steal the show, as Becky Lynch vs Asuka and Sasha Banks vs Ronda Rousey were both excellent. The Man, who tapped out to Asuka earlier, would show up later and enter the women's Rumble match. It lifted the entire match to no ends, taking it from average to memorable in next to no time.

The men's side was not too bad either. Aside from AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan playing in front of a dead crowd, we got Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. The show-closing men's Rumble match may not have been the best, but it did provide some fun surprises.

The biggest one came when Nia Jax attacked R-Truth and entered her second Rumble of the night. She would end up eating a Superkick, a 619 and an RKO. But, the big winner was Seth Rollins, who won the match from the number 10 spot.

Of course, both Rumble winners went on to have bigger and more memorable triumphs. But let us not overlook the fact that WWE was spot on with the two Royal Rumble winners. Not bad for the first Rumble at a baseball stadium.
