WWE The Greatest Royal Rumble: Review, Grades, and Analysis

Jinder Mahal vs. Jeff Hardy (c) – WWE United States Championship

This was another match that wasn’t that remarkable. There was nothing super noteworthy here as Jinder got the heat on Jeff for a few minutes before Jeff turned it around, hit the Swanton Bomb, and won. This one was short. Nothing bad, but nothing special. The crowd loved Jeff Hardy, which comes as no surprise.

Result: Jeff Hardy

Rating: 2.25 stars out of 5

Jeff Hardy moving to SmackDown might have been one of the best moves possible as it allows him to shine without being overshadowed by Matt’s Broken Universe. Though Brother Nero might be involved in some more of the Ultimate Deletion stuff in the future.

Chris Jericho cut a promo and put Mike Rome on the list, because he insisted that his name wasn’t Tom Phillips. Jericho then put the camera man, the sound guy, some fella named Ed, and everyone in the Rumble on the list. He started with Angle, and did put Mojo on the list 2 or 3 times. That was great.

Daniel Bryan also cut a promo, saying he was going to win the Greatest Royal Rumble.

The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) vs. The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) (c) – WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships

This was another match that didn’t really last long or have anything noteworthy. It was basically a standard SmackDown match, and not worthy of a PPV billing. Nothing was bad, but nothing was special. The whole match was structured well, with a basic heat segment, and a comeback from the Usos before the Bludgeon Brothers won with a double powerbomb.

Result: The Bludgeon Brothers

Rating: 2.25 stars out of 5

This was a nothing match. Nothing special, but nothing terrible at all. I expected a bit more from this one, but it seems quite frustrating.
