The Royal Rumble event remains a crowd favorite, and with its combination of surprise elements mixed with potential fresh matchups, itâs clear why the show has been around for over 37 years. At this yearâs event on Saturday, a jampacked Locus Oil stadium in Indianapolis saw major returns like 16- time world champion John Cena and former Royal Rumble winner Charlotte Flair, who was looking to regain her dominance. We also witnessed the surprise return of the phenomenal AJ Styles and the multi-time world champion Alexa Bliss. There was no bigger surprise, however, than Jey Uso continuing his path to greatness and winning the Menâs Rumble match. Only one that compares is how brutally Cody Rhodes overcame his old friend turned bitter enemy, Kevin Owens, and leaving the event still undisputed champion.
