Royal Rumble 2009

1. Jack Swagger defeated Matt Hardy by pinfall

This was a good match, but not as good as some of their other encounters. Swagger has so much potential and I'm guessing the WWE is going to do everything they can to keep him around.

Rating: 2.5

2. Melina defeated Beth Phoenix by pinfall to win the Women's Championship

This was a pretty entertaining Diva's match, but was too short to really go anywhere. Santino was crazy over in this matchup.

Rating: 1

3. John Cena defeated JBL by pinfall

This was more of a storyline than anything else. These two have had one great match together and everything else has been pretty blah.

Rating: 2

4. Edge defeated Jeff Hardy by pinfall to win the WWE Championship

***Match Of The Night***

This was a good match, even if the first half felt a little bit more like a TV match. The Matt Hardy turn was the big part of this match and I think he did a good job. I love heel Matt Hardy.

Rating: 3.5

5. Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble

The actual Rumble was fun, but the outcome was just way too predictable. It just bothers me that they couldn't have come up with another way for Orton to win other than having the whole Legacy 3 on 1 bit.

Rating: 3

This was my first Rumble live and while it was loads of fun to attend, it wasn't a classic by any means. There was some good action, but also had some predictable outcomes. This is by no means a bad show, just not one that will blow you away.

Overall Rating: 69%
