Worst in the World: The 2022 Men's Royal Rumble

(Special thanks to camilo jaramillo for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below.)

Back in January when I covered the 2015 Royal Rumble, I made the case that while WWE's track record with the match isn't perfect, they still tend to hit it out of the park more often than not. Well, WWE really decided to put that statement to the test with the 2022 Royal Rumble, where both of the titular matches left a lot to be desired. So much so that I got the request to cover both matches the morning after they happened, rivaling only EVIL vs Tomohiro Ishii at Wrestle Kingdom 16 for the quickest a match has ever been requested here. I covered the women's match last week, so let's take a look at the men's addition today. Unlike with the women's match and even with the mass releases that have happened over the last two years, WWE still has enough male wrestlers on their roster to hold a full Royal Rumble, meaning that they don't have to rely so heavily on returns (either announced or surprises.) That being said, a big draw of the modern-day Royal Rumble is getting to see wrestlers you haven't seen in a while, so we should expect some fun returns...right? Let's jump into this.

Entrant #1 is 100% the right pick to start the match; AJ Styles. If you had told me when I started this series back in 2016 that AJ Styles would be making his third appearance here, I would have thought you were insane. Styles is quickly followed by entrant #2; Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura, prompting Pat McAfee to go wild on commentary before dancing on the commentary. I don't know if I've had a chance to mention it here, but Pat McAfee is such a breath of fresh air on commentary. The bell rings before the two circle each other, feeling each other out before Nakamura begins striking away at Styles. Styles halts the strikes when he catches one of Nakamura's kicks and hits a Dragon Screw leg whip. Nakamura recovers and hits a spinning wheel kick before trying to back suplex Styles over the top rope. Styles avoids elimination, but Nakamura keeps control with a knee to the gut and an ax kick. Nakamura sets up for the Kinshasa, but Styles leaps over it to avoid it and hits a sliding forearm.

Styles works over Nakamura in the corner before Austin Theory enters at #3.

Theory quickly somersaults into the ring and dropkicks Styles before hitting a twisting back suplex on Nakamura. Theory tries to eliminate Nakamura, but nearly gets eliminated himself when Styles runs over and tries to tip him out. Nobody's eliminated yet as Theory stomps away at Styles in the corner until Nakamura starts striking away at him. Both Nakamura & Styles try to eliminate Theory, but Theory survives as Robert Roode enters at #4. Like with Shayna Baszler, I will never forgive WWE for replacing Roode's incredible theme with the super generic Dirty Dawgs theme. Also like with Baszler, WWE dropped the ball hard with Roode. Roode quickly plants Nakamura and Theory with a Spinebuster each before having a staredown with Styles, prompting a "TNA" chant from the crowd. Michael Cole says that Styles & Roode have had "quite the rivalry over the years" without mentioning TNA. I guess the Forbidden Door was only open long enough for Mickie James to sneak in and then got slammed shut behind her. Styles ducks a clothesline, but Roode manages to dump him onto the apron. Styles quickly leaps back into the ring and sunset flips Roode into position for a Styles Clash, but Roode blocks the move by grabbing the ropes. Styles proceeds to dump Roode onto the apron, but Roode avoids elimination and climbs back into the ring...only to get tossed onto the apron on the other side of the ring before getting knocked to the ground and out of the match by a Styles forearm. Bobby Roode deserves so much better.

Theory takes the fight to Styles, but earns a back suplex from Nakamura for his troubles. Nakamura goes for the Kinshasa, but Theory catches him with a spinning backbreaker. Theory & Styles try to eliminate  Nakamura as Ridge Holland, who's sporting a protective face mask after getting his nose crushed by Ricochet at Day 1, enters at #5. Holland sends Theory flying with a shoulder block before hitting an arm-trap overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Meanwhile, Nakamura gets eliminated by Styles after Styles hits an enziguri. Holland follows up with another overhead belly-to-belly suplex on Styles before beating down Theory. Entrant #6 is Montez Ford, who immediately throws Styles over the top rope, but Styles hangs on. Theory tries to throw Ford out, but Ford avoids elimination, flexes his agility with a handspring backflip, and hits a dropkick on Theory. Ford throws Theory on the apron, but Holland shuts down an elimination attempt with a forearm to Ford's back. Holland goes for a back suplex on Ford, but Ford flips out of it and hits a thrust kick, followed by an enziguri. Holland regains control, however, with a powerslam. Holland follows up with a huge back body drop on Styles before United States Champion Damian Priest, yet another wrestler who had their amazing entrance music replaced recently, enters at #7.

Priest floors Holland with a clothesline before trying to eliminate Styles. Theory shuts down that attempt, but earns a big backbreaker for his troubles. Priest then goes for a spinning heel kick on Styles, but Styles ducks it and tries to eliminate Priest. Theory tries to help, only for Styles to change targets and try to eliminate him. Priest then takes out Styles and tries to eliminate Theory himself before Sami Zayn enters at #8. Zayn runs into the ring, but opts to hang out in the corner until Ford runs over and stomps away at him. Zayn nearly eliminates Ford before Styles runs over to try and eliminate him, all while the crowd sings "Olé" by the Bouncing Souls, a lovely tribute to Sami Zayn's mentor El Generico who retired from wrestling to move back to Mexico to run his orphanage. Proof that wrestling is scripted, Johnny Knoxville from Jackass is entrant #9. For those who weren't keeping up with the show at the time, Knoxville stated that he wanted to compete in the Rumble match, drawing the ire of Zayn. This all led to their incredibly silly, but very fun Anything Goes match at WrestleMania 38. It was a big promotional tie-in for the fourth Jackass movie, Jackass Forever, that came out five days after this show, but you're not going to get any complaints from me because Jackass is great. Knoxville comes out to the Jackass theme (of course), is accompanied to the ring by fellow Jackass crew members Wee Man, Preston Lacy, and Jasper Dolphin (who is a new edition to the crew and was also part of the highly underappreciated show Loiter Squad), and is dressed like this:

Knoxville goes right after Zayn, taking him to the mat with a double leg takedown before punching him and hitting an elbow drop. Knoxville celebrates and points to the WrestleMania sign before Styles walks over and tells him to hit him. Knoxville obliges, prompting Styles to hit a variety of strikes before leveling him with a clothesline. Ford follows up with a frog splash (which Ford always gets incredible height on) before Holland scoops Knoxville up and puts him on the apron. Holland prepares to clothesline him to the ground, but Zayn steals the spotlight and eliminates Knoxville with a Helluva Kick. Zayn, however, quickly gets eliminated by Styles right after. Styles early gets eliminated himself by Priest right after, but he survives before Angelo Dawkins enters the match at #10. Poor Dawkins, not even the people running the show care about his entrance, as the LEDs on the ring show Montez Ford's video while Michael Cole calls him "Angelo Hawkins." The now whole Street Profits try to eliminate Priest, but Holland ends up making the save. Nothing else happens until entrant #11, Omos, enters the match.

Holland & Ford try to rush Omos, but Omos fends both of them off. Theory tries to get the jump on the big man, but Omos floors him with an elbow before Omos tosses Dawkins out of the ring for the elimination. Ford goes for a flying nothing, which ends with him Omos grabbing him by the throat and throwing him out of the ring for another elimination. Omos easily fends off another attempt by Theory before staring down Styles. Styles punches Omos, which Omos responds to by tossing him into the ring post. Omos controls the ring as Ricochet enters at #12. Ricochet quickly hits a springboard missile dropkick on Omos, but Omos barely moves before Omos pops Ricochet up and drops him. Theory & Ricochet try to double team Omos, but Omos fends them both off before he chops Ricochet, which Ricochet sells like he got hit by a car. Entrant #13 is one-half of the Raw Tag Team Champions Chad Gable. Actual Master's degree graduate Gable proves to be the smartest man in the match, convincing the five other men in the match to team up on Omos. He sends Priest first, and Priest fares well at first, but Omos ends up clotheslining him before throwing him out of the ring. Everyone else proceeds to dogpile on Omos while Pat McAfee praises Gable's plan of getting rid of Priest in the process.

Dominik Mysterio enters at #14 and quickly joins the pile, which finally eliminates Omos when Styles hits a flying forearm for the final push. Nothing else happens until Happy Corbin (Baron Corbin) enters at #15. Corbin runs through various men in the match before hitting a chokeslam on Theory. Ricochet takes the fight to Corbin, but gets pushed out of the ring & eliminated by Corbin when he goes for a springboard move. Styles tries to dump Corbin out of the ring, but Corbin survives and nearly eliminates Styles himself.

Entrant #16 is the other half of the Dirty Dawgs in Dolph Ziggler, who quickly superkicks Corbin, but Corbin avoids elimination and headbutts Ziggler. Dominik takes the fight to Corbin and goes for a dive off the top rope, but Corbin dodges it and hits a Deep Six before eliminating him. Meanwhile, Styles gets Theory onto the apron and, after blocking a suplex attempt from Theory, eliminates him with an enziguri. #17 is Sheamus who looks to team up with his protégé Holland, only for Holland to get clotheslined out of the ring by Styles before he even gets in the ring. I know they were different matches...but why the fuck did Ridge Holland last longer in the men's Royal Rumble than Sasha Banks did in the women's? Sheamus goes right after Styles, throwing him around the ring before going for White Noise. Styles slips out, but Sheamus hits a bicycle knee on him before hitting an Irish Curse backbreaker. Sheamus tries to eliminate Styles, but opts for the 10 Beats of the Bodhrán when he can't do that. Entrant #18 is Rik Boogs, Shinsuke Nakamura's personal guitarist who WWE really should've just let go by his amazing real name Eric Bugenhagen. Boogs gutwrench twists Gable around multiple times before going for a powerbomb, but Gable blocks it. Gable locks in an armbar over the top rope, but Boogs powers Gable back into the ring and throws him to the ground. Boogs one hand gorilla presses Gable and tosses him out of the ring for the elimination.

#19 is Madcap Moss, who joins his partner Corbin to run through everyone in the match. Meanwhile, Boogs gorilla presses Ziggler multiple times, but Ziggler avoids elimination. Corbin & Moss double team Styles, but Styles manages to fight back. However, a Phenomenal Forearm attempt on Moss sees  Moss dodge it and Corbin catching Styles for a chokeslam backbreaker. Moss finally tosses Styles out of the ring for the elimination. Entrant #20 is Matt Riddle, who rides down to the ring on his scooter. Riddle quickly hits a German suplex on Moss, but just as quickly gets overwhelmed by Corbin & Moss. Boogs makes the save and goes for a gutwrench slam on Moss, but Corbin makes the save before the two team up to eliminate him. Riddle tries to get the jump on them, but his attempt is quickly snuffed out. Entrant #21 is Drew McIntyre, who's wrestling for the first time since Day 1 after Corbin & Moss attacked him and injured his neck. Also, fucking hell, 21 entrants in and we finally get a surprise. In a fun little spot, Corbin & Moss toss Riddle & Ziggler at McIntyre, who easily fends them off. The two try to double team McIntyre, but McIntyre fends both of them off and tosses both right out of the ring. McIntyre isn't done, however, rolling out of the ring to continue the beatdown. McIntyre belly-to-belly suplexes Moss on the outside before hitting both men with the steel steps. McIntyre ends his assault by suplex tossing Moss onto the steps.

Kevin Owens enters at #22, prompting an immediate brawl in the aisleway with McIntyre. The two fight into the ring, where Owens hits a quick Pop-Up Powerbomb on McIntyre. Owens follows up with a cannonball senton on Ziggler in the corner and tries to eliminate Sheamus, but Riddle stops him. Riddle tries to kick Owens, but Owens blocks it and stomps Riddle's bare feet twice before superkicking him. Entrant #23 is Rey Mysterio, who quickly hits a headscissor takedown on Owens followed by a springboard crossbody on Sheamus. Riddle catches Mysterio in an electric chair position, but Mysterio nearly takes him out of the ring with a reverse hurricanrana takeover. Owens shuts down Mysterio's run with a Stunner before entrant #24 is Kofi Kingston. Kingston goes right after Owens, but gets dumped onto the apron quickly. Kingston fights back and goes for a springboard. Owens manages to shove Kingston, and have you ever heard the story of Icarus? The Greek Myth about the dangers of hubris where Icarus's father makes him wings from feathers & wax to fly, but warns him not to fly too close to the sun or the sea, only for Icarus to fly too close to the sun, have his wings melt, and cause him to fall into the sea and drown? This is Kofi Kingston flying too close to the sun. Owens shoves Kingston off the top rope and towards the ring barriers. Unfortunately, Kingston's momentum causes his feet to hit the floor. And I mean clearly, like there was no getting around it.

Try as he & Pat McAfee on commentary might, both of Kingston's feet clearly hit the floor. The Kofi spots are generally really fun, but even I can admit that this was really pushing their luck. It's a cool idea in concept, but the degree of difficulty is way too high for this to be plausible. And even if it had worked, landing chest-first on a barrier like that, even on a padded one, has to be brutal. Kofi didn't take a single move in this match, but you can tell that he's in serious pain from that bump. It would have been cool if it worked, but the chance of that actually happening was slim.

Entrant #25 is the other half of the Raw Tag Team Champions Otis, who floors Ziggler with a back elbow before hitting a T-bone suplex on Riddle. Otis follows up with a falling slam on McIntyre before entrant #26, Big E, enters the match. Big E quickly hits a belly-to-belly suplex on Owens before giving Riddle one of his own. Big E follows up with a running splash on Owens before calling for a Big Ending, but Sheamus shuts that down with a Brogue Kick from Sheamus. Mysterio tries to dive at Sheamus, but Sheamus catches him and hits two backbreakers. Entrant #27 is up and we get another surprise entrant in Bad Bunny, aka, the greatest celebrity wrestler in history. Bad Bunny quickly hits a diving crossbody on Sheamus and blocks a Stunner from Owens before giving him a headscissor takedown. Bad Bunny follows up with a Canadian Destroyer (is it still a Canadian Destroyer if the person doing it isn't from Canada?) on Riddle, but Sheamus shuts down his run with a forearm to the back. Sheamus tosses Bunny onto the apron, but Bunny ducks a Brogue Kick attempt, causing Sheamus to fall out of the ring for the elimination. Ziggler takes the fight Bunny, only for Mysterio to catch him with a headscissor takedown. Bunny then drop toe holds Ziggler into position for a 619 from Mysterio, the two eliminating him right after. Bad Bunny then tries to eliminate Mysterio, but Mysterio holds on. Bunny then turns into a Stunner from Owens.

Entrant #28 is another surprise in Shane McMahon, making his first appearance since Night 1 of WrestleMania 37. Apparently, this was a mistake, and Shane was supposed to enter at #29, but the wrong music was played so he had to enter at #28. The camera completely misses Otis eliminating Mysterio as Shane runs down the aisle. Shane enters the match, which means it's time for the SHANE MCMAHON BABY PUNCHES! It is staggering how bad he is at throwing worked punches. Shane punches away at Owens before turning his attention to Riddle. I know it's wrestling and you've gotta suspend your disbelief a lot of the time, but the mere notion that a 52-year-old Shane McMahon could outstrike a former UFC fighter is comical. Reeks of AJ Styles vs Frank Trigg levels of nonsense (also, didn't think I'd be referencing that match a second time in this post.) Owens tries to halt Shane's reign of terror with two superkicks, but Shane STAYS ON HIS FEET. AFTER TWO SUPERKICKS. Owens tries to eliminate Shane, but Shane reverses it and tosses Owens out of the ring. The way he's running through guys, you'd think Shane was booking this match. That's because Shane was, in fact, booking this match. It has since come out that Shane played a heavy role behind the scenes for this year's Rumble, with the main theme of the match being "How Great Shane McMahon Is." Reports have said that Shane specifically chose his spot in the match to highlight him and that he'd even suggested entering at #1 at some point. I don't know if that meant he'd last until the end like (spoilers...for something I'm about to tell you in 30 seconds) he does in this match, but could you imagine "Iron Man Shane McMahon?" The man is already sweating buckets and he's been in the match for less than 90 seconds and he thinks he could go 51 minutes straight? Hilarious. Apparently, a lot of Shane's ideas got turned down and he was not happy about it, causing so many problems backstage that WWE fired Shane within a week of the show. Way to work yourself into a shoot, brother.

Entrant #29 is Randy Orton, who gets a big pop from his hometown St. Louis crowd. Orton hits a quick RKO on Big E before he and his RK-Bro teammate Riddle toss him out of the ring. Man, it is so sad to see how quickly WWE gave up on Big E after he won the WWE Championship. Orton hits another RKO on Otis, allowing Riddle to hop off his back and hit an RKO on McIntyre. RK-Bro toss Otis out of the ring. Five men left in the ring as we get our 30th and final entrant; Brock Lesnar. Lesnar entered this show as WWE Champion, but lost the title to Bobby Lashley earlier in the night thanks to interference from Universal Champion and a betrayal from Lesnar's longtime manager Paul Heyman. Lesnar walks down to the ring, and if you know anything about Brock Lesnar, you'd know that he doesn't get paid by the hour. Lesnar quickly runs through everyone in sight, giving Orton, Shane, and Riddle a belly-to-belly suplex each before clotheslining Orton out of the ring. Bad Bunny tries to size up Lesnar, but Lesnar quickly F-5s him and throws him out of the ring. Another belly-to-belly suplex to Shane before Lesnar throws Riddle out of the ring. It is objectively very funny how little Brock Lesnar wants anything to do with Matt Riddle. Lesnar suplexes Shane one more time before clotheslining him out of the ring. We're down to Lesnar and McIntyre as the two go face to face. McIntyre strikes away at Lesnar before Lesnar scoops him up for an F-5 attempt. McIntyre slips out and catches Lesnar with a Glasgow Kiss headbutt, but an attempt at the Claymore kick is dodged by Lesnar. Lesnar picks McIntyre up and F-5's him out of the ring for the win.

The Verdict

It's not as bad as the 2015 Royal Rumble, but man is this a bad Rumble match. There are a couple of fun little moments, and Bad Bunny's always fun to see (don't know if he should be in the final five of the Rumble, though), but this is a really bland, uneventful match. There are a couple times in this post where I write "nothing happened", and that's not me being lazy, there's really just nothing notable happening at those moments. Hell, even the Johnny Knoxville spot wasn't all that memorable, the only thing that sticks out about it was that a non-wrestler like Johnny Knoxville was in the match. Add on Shane McMahon's vanity booking and the fact that two of the final five were a celebrity guest entrant and SHANE MCMAHON, and this is easily one of the worst Royal Rumble matches ever...just not the worst.
