Solomonster reviews the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble, a show that had a lot of promise on paper, and largely played out the way I thought it would. And yet, it ranks as one of the most boring Rumbles of all time, particularly the main event being one of the worst I've ever seen. The road to WrestleMania looks a bit clearer now, but there remain some questions to be answered.
