Royal Rumble, WWE.com

Match grades for all 30 WWE Royal Rumble entrants.

The WWE Royal Rumble match has come and gone with plenty of fanfare, which is par the course for this battle royal spectacle. It sends one Superstar to a WrestleMania World title match, which is one of the biggest bouts of the show or even the main event. WWE repeated on the 2017 Royal rumble broadcast that this would be for the headlining spot.

The winner of the Royal Rumble would be Randy Orton who last eliminated Roman Reigns to win. It’s his second win with his first coming in 2009 at age 28.

Now at 36, Orton adds another career accolade and will be a centerpiece in the build toward WrestleMania 33. His opponent is not yet clear, but that should be known in the coming days and weeks as we near Sunday, April 2 in Orlando, FL.

Outside of Orton, there would be plenty of action taking place. We saw Goldberg and Brock Lesnar collide for the first time since Survivor Series. The Undertaker and Roman Reigns had an interesting faceoff. Even Braun Strowman tore through the field and even looked like the potential star of the match at one point.

Overall, 30 WWE Superstars entered the match and all had a performance worth breaking down. So we gave each one of them a grade on their Royal Rumble in-ring action, if they eliminated anyone, and how far they survived. Besides Orton, who received one of the top grades? Which stars had some of the worst outings of the bunch?
