WWE Royal Rumble 2023 Results, Recap and Match Ratings
Rhea Ripley was both the winner and MVP of the women’s Royal Rumble. Ripley entered at No. 1 and lasted longer than any woman in Royal Rumble history, last eliminating entrant No. 2 Liv Morgan to win the match. It was a good Royal Rumble match, despite the questionable choice to have Becky Lynch in only for a brief spell.
The Women’s Royal Rumble had a quiet opening section. Ripley was a major player, surrounded by the just-there field of Morgan, Dana Brooke and Emma. Bayley and Shayna Baszler were welcome additions, but didn’t do much at the outset.
B-Fab was the first elimination, lasting just over 30 seconds before Ripley tossed her out. NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez got a nice reaction when she entered. She was followed by Bayley teammate Dakota Kai and then Iyo Sky, making Damage CTRL the dominant force in the Rumble.
Damage CTRL quickly eliminated Dana Brooke, Emma and Roxanne Perez. Baszler had a fun exchange with Natalya, which ended with both being taken out by Damage CTRL. Natalya had Baszler on the apron, but Baszler locked her into the Sleeper Hold. Damage CTRL flipped Natayla onto the apron, then eliminated both her and Baszler.
As Damage CTRL was ruling the ring, Big Time Becks entered at No. 15. The crowd instantly came alive, with “Becky!” chants and loud ovations. The numbers game eventually got the best of Lynch, who was laid out by the announcer’s table by the trio. (No one was eliminated here, as they exited the ring via the middle rope.)
That the crowd was into Lynch is no surprise. A little surprising was the massive pop they gave Asuka. Asuka came out with a painted face and a much darker attire. She had a great flurry of offense, suplexing and striking the whole field, getting big “Asuka” chants. She got just one elimination, taking out Tegan Knox. (Just moments before, there was an awkward moment when Tegan Knox completely missed a kick but Asuka sold it anyway.)
Entering at No. 19 was Piper Niven, formerly known as Doudrop. She laid everyone out, looking better here than she ever did as Doudrop, before Tamina came in at No. 20. One of the announcers said their clash was the one people have been waiting for, a very curious claim.
Their once-in-a-lifetime showdown was interrupted by Lynch, who the crowd again erupted for. Chelsea Green was next, with the announcers making a big deal about her return to the company — right before she was immediately eliminated by Rhea Ripley.
That was the first in a series of big eliminations. Lynch threw out both Kai and Sky, but was then surprised by Bayley, who flipped her out of the ring to massive heat from the crowd. Bayley was herself then eliminated by Morgan. Lynch then brawled with Damage CTRL into the crowd.
There was a cute spot where Michalle McCool’s music played at the No. 25 entrance. McCool was at ringside watching the show with her kids, at which point she unzipped her jacket and hopped over the barricade and into the ring. She immediately hit a Styles Clash, a nod to her husband’s last opponent.
Lacey Evans eliminated Zelina Vega in brutal fashion, putting her in a Cobra Clutch from the second rope. She hoisted Vega up and over the rope, dropping her from the turnbuckle to the floor outside.
The ring was filled with nearly a dozen women by the time No. 30 was due to enter. Sure enough,the final entrant is Nia Jax — an Irresistable Force that could clear that mass out. Incidentally, the production crew botched her entrance, hitting her music before the countdown clock even started ticking down.
Except that Nia Jax eliminated exactly no one — instead all the women ganged up on her. They blitzed her with big moves, ending with Ripley planting her with a (weak) Riptide.
There was a series of quick eliminations from here, with Asuka, Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez all scoring eliminations. Rodriguez nearly powerbombed Ripley out of the ring, but Ripley countered and sent Rodriguez flying over. The final three came down to Ripley and Morgan, who started the match out, and Asuka.
All three women quickly ended up on the apron. Asuka tried to spray mist at Ripley, but Ripley ducked so the mist sprayed Morgan instead. Ripley did a sweet 619 to kick Asuka off, and then eliminated Morgan to win the Rumble.
Rating: 3.5 stars. Still flawed, and in need of more star power, but possibly the best Women’s Royal Rumble yet.
Roman Reigns defends WWE titles at Royal Rumble; Sami Zayn turns on champ and delivers big crowd reaction
Roman Reigns’ dominance over the WWE continued Saturday night as he defended the WWE Championship and Universal Championship against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble but he may have lost members of The Bloodline after his antics when the match ended.
With Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman by his side, Reigns went toe-to-toe with Owens. He hit multiple Superman Punches and speared Owens several times, including through a barricade during the match. Reigns would pin Owens and get the three count to keep his titles but the beatdown continued.

Jimmy and Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa came out to celebrate Reigns’ championship defense. The faction continued to deliver punishment to Owens. The Usos put a chair around his neck and Sikoa would throw his body full force into him. To make matters worse, Heyman brought out the handcuffs and they tied up Owens to the ring ropes
The Usos hit Owens with multiple superkicks and then Reigns was going to hit Owens with a chair. Zayn begged Reigns not to do it.
“This is beneath you,” Zayn said trying to protect his longtime friend. “You don’t need to do this. You’re better than that.”

Reigns gave Zayn the opportunity to earn his place in The Bloodline. However, the “Honorary Uce” turned on his “Tribal Chief” and hit him in the back with the chair. The crowd at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, nearly blew the roof off of the place in one of the loudest pops of the night.
The rest of The Bloodline members would attack Zayn. But Jey Uso would be conflicted and run to the back and out of the ring, adding another conflict to the faction that has been on top of the WWE for over two years.
“F—you Roman!” the crowd chanted.

But the beatdown continued until the rest of The Bloodline grew tired. The faction would walk out of the ring and down the aisle but had another issue at hand.
Sami Zayn finally turns on Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble
Early in the evening at tonight’s (Sat., Jan. 28, 2023) Royal Rumble Premium Live Event at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, Roman Reigns made it clear he wanted Sami Zayn by his side for the entire night, all the way up to and through his WWE Universal title defense against Kevin Owens. Despite proving himself time and time again, Reigns refused to trust Zayn and wanted to keep him close.
It was here that he would go through what Reigns called his “final test.”
WWE promoted it with a slick video package just before the match by calling it “the final chapter.”
How the hell would all this shake out?
A referee bump, and Reigns demanding Zayn hand him a chair and Sami seeming conflicted before eventually doing so. Owens recovered in time to hit a Stunner for an incredibly close near fall.
A short time later, Zayn pleading with Owens to just stay down. “Just end it,” he said multiple times over.
Reigns repeatedly sending KO’s head into the steps, making Sami watch him as he did it.
Finally, mercifully, a Spear in the middle of the ring and a three count, with Reigns defeating Owens to retain the WWE Universal championship.
But that wasn’t the end.
The entirety of The Bloodline hit the scene, and before allowing anything, Reigns made Zayn watch The Usos put the boots to an already finished Owens. And then they set him up in the corner with a chair on his neck and Solo Sikoa had his go at him too. Then, the handcuffs came out and Owens was bound to the top rope by both wrists.
He ate superkick after superkick after superkick. “I can’t even look, this is disgusting,” Michael Cole plainly stated.
And still Sami watched.
Reigns grabbed a chair and just as he was about to bring it crashing down on Owens’ head, Zayn got in his way.
“This is beneath you! You don’t need to do this. You’re better than that. You are.”
So Reigns handed him the chair.
“I shouldn’t do it,” Reigns said.
“You should do it.”
Zayn didn’t want to. Reigns goaded him on. “He don’t care about you! He’s dragged you down since day one! He’s an anchor. I care about you! I love you!”
Zayn took the chair and lifted it.
“Pull the trigger,” Reigns shouted.
When he didn’t, Reigns pushed him in his face.
“You think this is a game?!? This is my life!”
And then Reigns turned to yell at Owens once again.
So Sami did it.
He hit Reigns in the back with the chair.
Jey Uso was devastated.
Jimmy Uso responded with a Superkick, and a barrage of punches.
Solo Sikoa threw Jimmy off to get at Sami himself. The beating continued. Jimmy, and Solo, and Reigns were there now, going at Zayn.
But Jey wasn’t there.
He stood in the corner, his head down, unsure. When his family asked what he was doing, Jey slid down, and left the ring, slowly making his way up the long entrance aisle, his hands covering his mouth. He appeared to be in tears, or near it.
The rest of The Bloodline continued its assault on Zayn.
The Alamodome let Reigns know how they felt about it all with a loud chant.
“Fuck you, Roman.”
And then they left.
Zayn laid out in the ring, helpless. Owens still handcuffed to the ropes, equally defeated.
The Bloodline stopped to take one last look into the ring.
Fade to black.
