Workrate in the rumble is not a thing, but layout and memorable character/storyline/spots/elimination moments are, and this year's rumble entirely lacked that. No storylines were set up for WM season, no eliminations were memorable except Brock catching Riddle in the air and throwing him out in the same motion. The only thing you got out of the Rumbles was Ronda's back and the Brock/Roman storyline is reset to where it was in December and nothing else in the company matters at all.

Here's what I don't get. The Brock Roman storyline should have been over for now. Lashley/Lesnar was just getting started and Rollins/Reigns was doing the same. Why drop potentially good storylines just to revist Reigns/Brock? What was the point of giving Lesnar the RAw title if you only wanted him feuding with Reigns. The only thing that makes sense is Brock fighting both Lesnar and Lashley for both belts. I just don't like the idea of dropping Lesnar/Lashley so soon. Also as good as Roman has been, he could use some rest. Dude's been going non stop main eventing for 500+ days.
Females- ya'll may hate Charlotte but she deserves to go over Ronda. What does it say when you can leave for a few years, have a baby and immediately challenge for the title coming back? Why not elevate someone new to the women's championship.

My favorite part of the Rumble is watching all the markkks melt down because people thought the Rumble sucked.

Pretty much. I’m past the point of caring about booking or anything else really, I’m detached from any of that stuff. I just wanted to see some fun interesting shyt for a couple hours and both Rumbles were pretty void of that.

According to PWInsider, HHH not being involved and Tyson Kidd not being around resulted in the trash Royal Rumble matches we got this year:
And according to WON, the producers of the men's Rumble were: Jamie Noble (lead producer), Chris Park, Adam Pearce and Shawn Daivari.
Several pointed to the fact that Paul Levesque, for the first time in many years, was not involved and not present as he's dealing with his health issues. In the past, Levesque would be involved with in an advisory role of sorts, often making Rumble changes to accentuate certain talents and make sure there were little "moments" or highlights after the grand scheme for the Rumble had been locked in. His absence was absolutely felt this past Saturday.
The other major absence this year was WWE Producer TJ Wilson aka Tyson Kidd who usually takes a massive leading role in producing the women's division in general and would have been a general in putting together the Rumble match. Wilson was not at the Rumble and was not involved in putting the bout together. We are told Wilson, who has not been around in recent weeks, is still officially with the company. With Wilson not there, Dave Finlay was brought up from NXT to help produce the Rumble, in part because he had worked with so many of the returning women who were coming back for Rumble appearances.

Makes sense as to why the Woman's one was more memorable and flowed better than the men's imo

Wrestling insiders just be making stuff up. There was no way Brock was walking out without winning wnything.
On the other hand, a RKBro final 2 would have been way more exciting than what we got. I wanted to see Brock and Randy square up.

I legit thought Aksana was a name Asuka had in the indies 
They did setup several Mania storylines and matches during the rumble though.
Roman vs Brock
Sheamus vs Bad Bunny
Zelina vs Sasha (Boss vs Queen) Sasha should get first WM win here
The question is how do you get to Ronda vs Charlotte and Becky vs Bianca. Because it makes no sense why Ronda wouldn't challenge Becky to get revenge since that was her only loss
