I thought "The Undertaker" had retired?

Hilarious to see Americans whining over the female wrestlers not being allowed to compete in Saudi Arabia when on the other hand, their government is trying to ban the citizens of several countries from even setting foot in their joke of a country.

Great card, by the way. It was also very entertaining seeing guys like Lesnar, Orton, Reigns and Strowman just chilling out together eating hummus and playing soccer. Not something you see everyday and you have to wonder why the WWE did not even bother with protecting kayfabe on this tour.

Kayfabe is pretty much dead, the only guy who tends to remain off the grid is Taker although recently he was caught at the dinner table as well sitting between Lesnar and Kurt Angle. Second half of the show was pretty decent and overall a great event which was made to feel like a big deal, some have complained about no women but their country have been making an effort to make some positive changes and if WWE support that I have no issues with it. The UAE never allowed women to compete either but last year Sasha and Alexa bliss became the first in their history. Americans are generally big hypocrites anyway.

Did anyone of you see Titus Oneil's entrance in the Royal Rumble? [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] [MENTION=3474]TalhaSyed[/MENTION]

GRR was a decent ppv. However, the crowd wasn't really engaged for matches other than cena vs HHH and nakamura v AJ to an extent. I really enjoyed that opening match, and I also liked the AJ nakamura match until the double countout.

I was surprised to see reigns lose, just keep on waiting and waiting for him to win the title. Not sure what the end game is here, he's lost to lesnar a few times.

In terms of the 50 man Royal rumble, could have done with some better entrants. I don't get why Sami zayn couldn't make it to the match, he fitted into the storyline with shane/Bryan. I also wanted to see ec3, and don't understand why he couldn't make a 50 man rumble, where some crappy tag team members and cruiserweights could make.

It was kind of meaningless to have a cup/title, it's similar to Andre the giant battle royal. Should have made it more meaningful, and said winner of the rumble gets future title shot, or perhaps at symmerslam. I guess they still could if he one day trades his rumble title for a title match, that would be pretty cool.

Was like a house show. It was all fun. Don't think any match really stood out. Was overhyped for no reason.

Glad that Saudi Arabian public got to see WWE though.

Yeah didn't enjoy it much. They have signed a 10 year deal. Saudi Arabian public will see them again next year. Braun should have got a title match against Brock instead of that huge and useless world cup trophy.

Could have made it a triple threat at least since it was a glorified house show.
