The Best Royal Rumble Matches Ever: Ranked

#5 2010 (Edge):

A fun match, top to bottom.

This was a fun Rumble match, top to bottom. It featured several underlying stories being told, with each one being given enough time to breathe and unfold properly. CM Punk’s early dominance and mid-match Straight-Edge promo were one of the most unique and well-executed moments in recent Rumble history.

Shawn Michaels’ desperation to win the match to challenge then-World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker was told beautifully, with every move made by and against him, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

And speaking of Edge, the Rated R Superstar’s surprise victory was a fantastic breath of fresh air, as Edge managed finally achieved something that had eluded him on so many occasions over the years.
