Top 8 WWE PPVs of the 2010s

#7 Royal Rumble 2017

What a night at the Alamodome

This was the largest Royal Rumble pay-per-view ever, at least until WWE decided to have two Rumble matches every year. Over 50,000 people filled the Alamodome, 20 years after WWE first came to this setting for a Royal Rumble. This time, there was much more star-power both, in the Rumble and out of it Rumble.

Neville began his underrated reign as the King of the Cruiserweights over here by defeating Rich Swann, while Charlotte Flair and Bayley had a serviceable RAW Women's title match. Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens also put on a clinic, as they sacrificed their bodies in an exciting No Disqualification Match. The pick of the undercard matches, though, came through AJ Styles and John Cena.

The two legends had another instant classic against one another, this time for the WWE Championship. Cena won his 16th world title after hitting consecutive Attitude Adjustments on Styles to pick up the hard-fought victory. Then came the Royal Rumble Match. It was one of the most star-studded matches of its kind, particularly in its final stretches.

Brock Lesnar, Goldberg and The Undertaker all entered in the final five spots after the likes of Chris Jericho and Braun Strowman had impressive showings. Roman Reigns entering at number 30 after losing earlier in the night may be classed as a disappointment, while Randy Orton winning the entire match seemed to catch everyone off guard.

It was still a decent 30-man match. All-in-all, Royal Rumble 2017 will be remembered for its brilliant undercard and impeccable star-power.
