On Saturday, January 29, WWE held its first major PPV of the year, the Royal Rumble. For more than three decades, the wrestling promotion has been producing this show, and the 2022 event featured some dynamite matches, one great Rumble match, and one terrible one. We saw two surprise entrants–who are both also former UFC fighters–win this year with Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar. Take a look below at all the results and a review of every match from the evening.
There were plenty of surprises over the course of the evening that got people talking. While promoting Jackass Forever, Johnny Knoxville entered the Rumble in hopes of taking down everyone in the WWE–that didn’t plan out for him, but it was a lot of fun. The women’s Royal Rumble match was full of fun moments and big surprises. We also got to see Impact’s Knockouts Champion Mickie James enter the rumble, which is a pretty big deal.
