The trucks have rolled into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. WWE has put together one heck of an impressive stage, and the world is ready to witness the 39th<\/sup> edition of their premier PLE known as the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble<\/a>. A show that signifies the start of WrestleMania season, and a PLE that has become one of the most popular in WWE history.<\/p>\n

This year marks the first time that WWE has taken its show overseas. A massive deal considering this is the first time Saudi Arabia has held an event of such magnitude. This will be a historic evening for World Wrestling Entertainment, but will its financial success match its quality? Now that the show is about to start, let\u2019s take a look and see how WWE\u2019s Royal Rumble pans out.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Royal Rumble Match (2.75\/5)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Women\u2019s Royal Rumble match seems to forever be in the opener spot, and the crowd was all for it. Seeing Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss as the number one and two entrants was a fun way to start the match and sowed the seeds of dissention between the two \u201cbest friends\u201d.<\/p>\n

The ring filled up quickly, but there wasn\u2019t much action going on. Frankly, it appeared as if the first 10-13 minutes of the match were there to get to the next level. Some great young talents were entering that could have gotten a much larger rub. It felt like WWE stacked the first 10 entrants with wrestlers that no one wanted to see. It was also a bit unnerving to see Jordynne Grace get dumped fairly easily. She is going to be a star, and she wasn\u2019t treated as such here.<\/p>\n

Once we got past the first few minutes, the action picked up, and some of the bigger names made their way into the ring. The Judgement Day, Sol Ruca, and Lash Legend all got some great exposure here. It should also be noted that Chelsea Green was once again money with her character work. WWE needs to find more to do with her outside of the comedy bits.<\/p>\n

It was a nice touch to see the big names fill up the ring near the end. Having 14 litter the ring after Tiffany Stratton<\/a> entered added to the chaos and ambiguity surrounding who was going to walk away the winner. However, it was a disappointment to see that Brie Bella was the only surprise entrant that WWE lined up for the Women\u2019s contest.<\/p>\n

The final four was a letdown, as it became very clear that Liv Morgan was going to win the match. It was a well-deserved victory for Morgan, but one that could have carried a bit more weight with it. It was a Liv Morgan<\/a>, Sol Ruca, and Lash Legend night with the three women getting the MVPs. Not the greatest Royal Rumble match, but certainly not the worst.<\/p>\n
