Why the Royal Rumble was a major letdown

4. Lack of matches on the card:

I know that a 30 man Royal rumble is a daunting task for many WWE superstars, but would it have killed the WWE to have a intercontinental title match on the card, or maybe a Divas title match? In all, The Royal Rumble only featured five matches for the night. The WWE literally threw every storyline out the window for the midcarders and just piled them into the Royal Rumble match to make it exciting. It would have been nice to at least see a Number One Contenders match for The WWE World heavyweight title at Elimination Chamber next month, but no a six minute squash match between Big Show and Brock Lesnar was just what the fans needed, Not!
