WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Things WWE Got Wrong in Battle Royal Match

5. Jack Gallagher’s Performance in the Rumble
Trust me, there wouldn’t be anything wrong with having someone like Gallagher on the rumble match. However, the way someone as talented as the extraordinary gentleman was booked raises questions. One of the premier cruiserweights on the division should not be booked as comic relief. Moreover, the ridiculous manner in which he would get eliminated did not help.
Who in their right mind would jump at Mark Henry with an open umbrella? The Mary Poppins reference by the commentary team did not help either. Hence, one of the five things creative got wrong would come early in the rumble. Instead, he could still have been used as comic relief with some purpose.

Had Gallagher done a headstand at the corner, it would have been fun. The way he attacked Jericho with the umbrella was funny too. Regardless, all that would go down the drain when one thinks about how he was eliminated. Instead, if he were to be eliminated by another cruiserweight like Ariya Daivari, it would have made much sense. That would have also given some sense of storyline progression.
