WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 5 Booking mistakes that were made 

#2. Matt Riddle?

No altercation with Brock Lesnar?

Brock Lesnar tied the elimination record at a Royal Rumble when he was able to take out 13 men. The likes of Kofi Kingston, Robert Roode, Braun Strowman, Keith Lee, MVP, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Rey Mysterio all fell victim to The Beast, before he was eliminated by Drew McIntyre.

Throughout Brock Lesnar's reign of terror, the WWE Universe expected Matt Riddle to make his way to the ring and be the man to finally overcome Lesnar. If he wasn't the one to eliminate him from the match, at least a face to face would have sufficed. Riddle has not been shy about making it known he wants to defeat and retire Brock Lesnar one day.

Instead of an altercation with The Beast, Riddle made his way to the ring in the number 23 spot and lasted just 41 seconds before he was eliminated by King Corbin. It was a waste of a spot. If Riddle was going to have such a poor showing then it perhaps would have been a better idea to have not included him in the match at all.

The Miz, Erick Rowan, Nakamura, Shelton Benjamin, Cesaro, John Morrison, Robert Roode, and MVP were the only men to fare worse than Riddle and with the exception of The Miz, all these men were fed to Brock Lesnar.
