On the one hand, I’m glad they didn’t just hand Cena the win.
On the other hand, they wasted a main event on a match we literally just saw like a week ago that wasn’t that good despite Gunther’s best efforts.

Maybe he'll surprise everyone and challenge Cody. And, if he doesn't, it's not like Gunther's title reign has been setting the world on fire.

They had Cody being particularly heel-ey at the end of the ladder match so I could see it. Maybe I’m just in shock because this was the first time the men’s rumble was better than the women’s one in like five years.

@SLAB, I love you bro, but previous Royal Rumble winners include Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Big John Studd, Alberto Del Rio, Vince McMahon and the (original) Orange Goblin™, and you gotta nerve to call Jey Uso the worst ever?

At least I can say I've seen a good Jey Uso match.

It being preordained for Charlotte took a lot of the fun out of it... There were so many women that could have been made by a win, and that's what they went with.

I’ve seen plenty of good Jey Uso tag matches.
 
The more I reflect on it, the more I’m okay with it.

I think Jey sucks. But damn if I’m not yelling at this company to strike while the iron is hot when you can catch lightning in a bottle. This dude has a Jeff Hardy like unseeable but undeniable connection with the crowd. Its special. I don’t get it. I think it’s stupid. But I’d be stupid myself not to admit it’s a special connection.

I just hope they use this to super-boost a new heel, preferably as soon as the night after WrestleMania.

Imagine this: Jey wins the title. He comes out to a massive celebration only to get killed by someone new and / or relatively unknown… think OBA FEMI.
