What a pay-per-view, from top to bottom.

While you may think "Wow, WrestleMania 35 was awesome. Why isn't it number one on this list?", Royal Rumble was simply outstanding. Every single match on this show connected on some level, aside from AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan which happened right after the energy-sapping (in a good way) Women's Rumble match. It was still a fantastic wrestling match, nevertheless. The show kicked off with an incredible match between Becky Lynch and Asuka, a match we might get at Royal Rumble 2020 as well.

Becky lost, but she would gain redemption by winning the 30-woman Rumble match, last eliminating Nia Jax and Charlotte Flair. Sasha Banks and Finn Balor put on tremendous showings in championship matches,but came up short against Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar respectively. Also, The Miz and Shane McMahon won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship following a fun match against The Bar. If that was not enough, the 30-man Royal Rumble match was still left.

While not an all-time classic, the 2019 men's Rumble did provide some exciting entrants. From old-timers like Jeff Jarrett to NXT stars like Johnny Gargano and Aleister Black, plus even women like Nia Jax, there was no shortage of surprises. In the end, Seth Rollins emerged victorious to stand tall and end the show after a long night of non-stop action. The one thing that made Royal Rumble stand out was the complete lack of filler. While WrestleMania had a few cool-down matches, 2019's first pay-per-view went full throttle and did not stop for anything.
