I vote Whatever
. I don’t really have too big a beef with Edge winning.
But WWE has run the “#1 entrant wins the Royal Rumble” narrative to the ground. At this point, WWE has overdone it so much that superstars should WANT to be #1. You have better odds of winning the Rumble at 1 than you do at 30 based off WWE’s booking

With Roman and Drew being champs, they could've given the Rumble to any good babyface or heel from the full time roster. Big E being the most obvious face choice...not sure there's a good full time heel choice to wrestle Drew, and I haven't watched RAW in more than a year so can't really expand much there.
But anyways, watching the Rumble. The final 6 were Bryan, Riddle, Edge, Christian, Rollins and Strowman (Orton kinda doesn't count as he was just a swerve device for the ending).
None of them needed a Rumble win but at least Bryan and Riddle are interesting choices for title matches at Mania.
Edge winning does nothing to anybody. Roman won't be a bigger star by beating him (and he would look like a joke getting beat by him) and Drew just beat Goldberg in 3 minutes and comes from beating Brock last year....Edge is not someone that will legitimize him more than those to Ws (and again, losing your belt to Edge in 2021 destroys whoever is the champ).
At the end of the day, this was just another nostalgia pick and a bizarre "thanks for coming back pal" nod from Vince. It's really stupid that the people that get the most rewarded are old motherfukkers that Cokeboy feels the need to give them stuff so they can feel appreciated by him/the company.
I've only kept up with Bryan and some of Reign's stuff on SD, and I'll get back to that. This company does not deserve anyone's attention let alone a full commitment to watching
only thing keeping me from letting go completely is my blind stanning for D-Bry.

Would have liked Daniel Bryan or Big E but it is what it is
Edge vs Roman has a good intruige for a mania match
But I saw on twitter this Royal Rumble only had 2 people under 30

People thought the intercontinental champion would win the rumble lol..
Edge is an easy story to write.. Edge vs Roman. spear vs spear.. and he was the biggest star in the match. Obvious choice
People seem to think he’s facing Drew. Lol.. Drew and Sheamus will obviously be the RAW main event

at the story of a Roman match being his spear against a Edge's 50 year old running hug 
I'll live with it. But decisions like that is why talent continue to get held down.
Edge facing roman/drew... what does that accomplish? What a good time to try and make another star or finally give a long tenured talent a much needed rub like cesaro/big e(but I soured on this after he won the Ic title) but nah let's give it to EDGE.
And how many times are they gonna give Braun the typical "oh he's big and tall he's the #1 favorite" but then gets eliminated? Heck they could have given him the win . Stroman and reigns destroying Raymond James stadium would have been a sight to see

Wasted spot. He's washed and ran the gauntlet so all the current guys look weak. An old heel should only do that with fukkery. He's not a good underdog as he just laid around for an hour and then won.
