Cody Rhodes, one of the most talented wrestlers in the industry, has once again secured his spot in the main event of WrestleMania. The WWE Royal Rumble has come to a close, with Cody and Bayley emerging as the victors and setting up some highly anticipated matches for WrestleMania 40.
The night was full of surprises, and the American Nightmare outlasted CM Punk in the final two of the men's match. This has set the stage for a huge showdown between Cody and Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in Philadelphia. However, there is still a possibility of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson making an appearance, but for now, it seems like the American Nightmare has a chance to finish the story come April.
The men's Royal Rumble didn't have many surprises, as the focus was on the roster. However, there were some unexpected returns, such as Andrade's shocking comeback after almost three years with AEW, and a humorous cameo by Pat McAfee. NXT's Carmelo Hayes and Bron Breakker also made their presence felt, with Breakker especially shining in his explosive appearance.
The women's Royal Rumble, on the other hand, was completely unpredictable, with Bayley emerging as the deserving winner for the first time in her career. She faced tough competition, including Liv Morgan, whom she eliminated to secure the victory. Moments before, they had joined forces to take out the debuting Jade Cargill, making for an exciting match from start to finish.
Speaking of surprises, the Rumble saw current TNA Wrestling Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace make her WWE debut, despite still being under contract with the rival promotion. This was perhaps the biggest shock of the night, and it will be interesting to see where her career in the WWE goes from here.
Bayley's win has set the stage for a potential match against her Damage CTRL teammate and WWE Women's Champion, Iyo Sky. However, there are also many other potential challengers for Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, including Liv Morgan and Jordynne Grace.
In other matches, Roman Reigns continued his reign as he overcame AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight to hold onto the gold. YouTube star Logan Paul also had a successful title defense, although it was marred by controversy as Kevin Owens was caught using brass knuckles brought in by Paul, resulting in a disqualification.
Now, the WWE is fully focused on the road to WrestleMania 40. With the likes of Jade Cargill, CM Punk, LA Knight, Naomi, and more in the mix, it's sure to be an exciting journey leading up to the big event. Do you have a story to share?
