Every match rated from the extravaganza that delivered a knockout show
The 33rd annual WWE Royal Rumble event wowed fans last night.
WWE's most enduring speciality match – the Royal Rumble – topped off a memorable evening as WrestleMania season began in spectacular fashion.
Old scores were settled, new rivalries were formed, and superstars were made, as the WWE geared up for its springtime showcase event with one of the great Royal Rumble shows.

Our resident star ratings aficionado, Mo Chatra, gives his verdict on the matches that made this Royal Rumble one of the best ever.
Sheamus defeated Shorty G
A passable curtain-jerker, this pre-show bout was Sheamus' first televised match since suffering a serious concussion in April last year. **1/2
WWE United States Championship
Andrade (c) defeated Humberto Carrillo – the Latino heartthrobs continued with their recent series of matches and delivered another fine contest to conclude in-ring festivities on the Rumble pre-show.
Andrade retained his United States title after reversing a pinfall attempt by Carrillo. ***1/4
Falls Count Anywhere Match
Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin – Reigns and Corbin toured much of the Minute Maid Park in Houston as they contested an energetic arena-wide brawl.
Reigns won this after nailing Corbin with a spear in the stands. Fun contest. ***1/4

Women's Royal Rumble match
Lasting 54 minutes, the women’s Royal Rumble bout was a lively, action-packed effort. The bout saw surprises - with appearances from Mighty Molly, Kelly Kelly and Santina Marella - as well as interesting dynamics play out with friends and foes going at it.
The star of the match was Bianca Belair, who had a breakout performance by ousting eight opponents and lasting a record 33 minutes before being ousted by Charlotte.
The 10-time women's champ eventually emerged triumphant, though the headscissors on Shayna Baszler that led to victory would never make a highlight reel. ***1/2

WWE Smackdown Women's Championship
Bayley (c) defeated Lacey Evans: After the thrills and spills of the preceding match, the crowd was relatively subdued for the Smackdown women’s title bout.
Fine for what it was, lasting nine minutes and receiving a lukewarm reaction, Bayley's title-retaining effort was the main card's weakest offering. **1/2

WWE Universal Championship Match
'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt (c) defeated Daniel Bryan: The Universal Champion, it is fair to say, has contested some stinkers in the past six months, but this was anything but.
Daniel Bryan entered a superb performance to make this the best match Bray Wyatt has had since adopting 'The Fiend' gimmick.
Spirited and dramatic, this contest saw Bryan at his best, but it was all in vain as Wyatt retained the Universal strap following a Mandible Claw chokeslam. ***1/2
Image: © WWE) © WWE)
WWE Raw Women's Championship
Becky Lynch defeated Asuka: The feud between Lynch and Asuka had been rumbling for several months, and it came to a head in this match.
This turned into a really good contest with an assortment of fine transitions and counters making this one of the night's most dramatic contests.
Lynch locked in the DisArmHer for a submission victory. Becky had a relatively subdued 2019 in terms of match quality, but this was Lynch back to her best. ***1/2
Image: © WWE) © WWE)
Men's Royal Rumble match
The 33rd Men's Royal Rumble match was one of the most creative and original in its illustrious history.
Starting out with Brock Lesnar rampaging through opponent after opponent in the early stages, to the shocking return of Edge, to a star-making performance by eventual winner, Drew McIntyre - this main event had it all.
Exciting and barely a lull period during its one-hour duration, this was a fitting finale to cap off a superb show. ****1/4

Tributes have poured in for Bryant - who spent the entirety of his 20-year career with the Lakers - after he and daughter Gianna, 13 were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday
The NBA have postponed LA Lakers' match with LA Clippers in the wake of Kobe Bryant's tragic death.
Both teams were due to meet at the Staples Center on Tuesday, but is now due to be rescheduled at a later date.
An official statement from the NBA said: "The decision was made out of respect for the Lakers organization, which is deeply grieving the tragic loss of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven other people in a helicopter crash on Sunday."
The sporting world has been in mourning for Bryant, 41, after a chopper carrying him and eight other passengers crashed on Sunday morning in Calabasas, California, killing all on board.
Bryant spent the entirety of his glittering 20-year career with the Lakers, winning five NBA championships for the franchise, and breaking their all-time scoring records.

Thousands of Lakers fans flocked outside the Staples Center on Sunday after the news of Bryant's death broke, laying flowers and memorabilia in an emotional memorial to the superstar.
LA Clippers paid their own tribute to the All-star legend during their match with Orlando Magic, letting the 24-second shot-clock run down.
Clippers assistant coach, Tyronn Lue, was a teammate of Bryant's during his playing career, and was visibly emotional at courtside.

And the tragic loss of Bryant was summed up by Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, who described the news as "devastating".
“I told our guys before the game, I don’t know how you handle this, it’s such a shock,” Rivers said. “Some of you may not feel anything right now. It may come out during the game. We’re not prepared, nobody is for tragedies like this. Nobody is.
“I didn’t know if our guys could get through it to be honest. Sometimes the stage is the best place to get away from reality.
“I look over at Ty [Lue] during the game and he’s bawling. A lot of emotion tonight, it really was a tough night.”
Bryant is survived by his wife Vanessa and their three other daughters Bianka, Natalia and newborn Capri.
The NBA said in a separate statement: "The NBA family is devastated by the tragic passing og Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna.
"For 20 seasons, Kobe showed us what is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion to winning.
"He was one of the most extraordinary players inthe history of our game with accomplishments that are legendary: five NBA championships, an NBA MVP award, 18 NBA All-Star selections, and two Olympic gold medals.
"But he will be remembered most for inspiring people around the world to pick up a basketball and compete to the very best of their ability."
