[@kadharefinley224]

Fun Fact: This was Chris Jericho’s last match in WWE

[@BenWitDaRackz]

The fact he couldn’t end his wwe career on a banger show or a banger match is sad

[@showtime1235]

i can totally see why he jumped to aew

[@fedothelion9076]

Also mark henry last match

[@Boom46-j5w]

But at least he got paid big time in the Greatest Royal Rumble before leaving 👍

[@ALDO_GOODENS]

My brain was freaking short circuiting when I saw “Worst Royal Rumble” and “2018”, but then I became literate and saw “Greatest” at the front, and everything became clear lol

[@AwesomeSauce11823]

If Braun doesn’t defend his title at the Rumble next year, what has all this been for?

[@Daisheer23]

1:46 to go along with your liv Morgan bit, I sat front row at a live show a couple years ago and Liv fell right in front me. I had finished my nachos at this point but the container was by my feet. I had to awkwardly move Livs hair as she was selling and I whispered “Liv your hair fell in my nachos just letting you know” she said I’m soooo sorry but i told her it was no big deal at all. She was so sweet about it and it was cool to share such a casual moment with her lol

[@Gojo-b2t]

The royal rumble happening in Saudi Arabia is baffling

[@kingcaden3097]

Why?

[@Gojo-b2t]

@kingcaden3097 Dawg the last time they had a royal rumble in Saudi Arabia it was terrible

[@kingcaden3097]

@ I don’t think it will be bad this time around considering the track record of the last few Saudi events

[@hockeytown54]

I feel bad for the women.

[@zackwyatt169]

​@Gojo-b2tThat was then This is now under Paul's regime

[@saikage3180]

I was a freshman in high school when this ppv aired I remembed actually being excited for this and had to watch it in class looking back at it it was so disappointing

[@Trevor_Spinelli]

So was I…that’s crazy

[@palpatinerocks3260]

Titus is so lucky that it wasn't a Raw or Smackdown. As Coret Graves pointed out on Sam Robert's podcast, on those shows that's an LED board and if he fell then, he would be dead

[@Myles-l4f]

“The house is on fire!” No that just DDJ’s new video

[@VanvleetMusic]

It was originally advertised as Taker vs Jericho, love Rusev but sucks they changed it.

[@exiity]

the benoit segment was CRAZY.

[@xudo]

They're not badly booked, they're booked exactly how they've been told to book them by the royal family paying them to be there. That's why Saudi shows always have older wrestlers who, for the most part, shouldn't still be wrestling. They want to see who they remember watching.

[@woobgamer5210]

remember when they wanted Yokozuna, whos been dead for a good 18 years before this PPV?

[@baperizer]

I walked out of highschool. Early and walked 45 mins home to watch this back in the day

[@PrinceTMJB]

I completely skipped this show and I never looked back lol

[@thevoicelesswriter]

I do not regret skipping the majority of 2018 WWE.

[@owletmooster3489]

i remember getting up at 3am in australia with my dad to watch this ppv and i dont remember a single match on this card

[@devdixon8266]

Luke harper being one of my favorites, plus that bludgeon brothers theme, truly a time

[@fedothelion9076]

This was the last match of Mark Henry...

[@diamond_dynamo2214]

nah, I completely agree about Shinsuke/AJ. looking at their time in NJPW it should've been incredible, but they completely squandered it (as is almost always the case when it comes to Shinsuke in WWE)

[@00_FLAMEx7]

the only reason i don't like that there will be a rumble in saudi is cuz of the women's rumble. the crowd will be dead af for that one

[@michaell7927]

Jericho is really aged the past seven years

[@Vegeta_ultra_ego-v2u]

Titus O'neil stole the show 😂😂😂

[@ChristianQuilesvelez-zb8om]

Ohh thats nothing crown jewel 2018

[@TheGreatKingChiba]

@1:30 - Crazy yall got cucked by Saudi Arabia TWICE for the Royal Rumble. Im rooting for yall getting it but man, yall might need to let em know next time they are in town. Give em the Hulk Hogan treatment "Why do Saudi? Clap clap, clap clap clap" "Blood Money Rumble! Clap clap, clap clap clap".

[@Venemofthe888]

Well here's the thing they get 2 ppvs a year in this deal that vince set up. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner tbh

[@Slideawayy]

17:16 shoutout to you DDJ 🙏

[@AnnaMariya-ks7zd]

Nothing would ever beat the 2015 royal rumble , boring af

[@IMKYLIANIT]

Its sad that the mayor of London rejected mania/royal rumble and would rather get the superbowl

[@imoutotrash390]

In my program freshman year we basically had study hall days so whenever a ppv happened I would just watch those instead of doing any homework. This was one of those days l

[@GoofyGoober2004]

29:29 a The Great One reference in my DeonteDDJ vid, we love to see it 🙌

[@tylerblair318]

The only thing that was good about this show at all was Bryan Danielson's insane performance and the insanely short interaction between Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson. It's like 2 minutes of an insanely dogshit awful show but whatever. It's neat that Angle and Bryan had an interaction in the ring.

[@MxneyyyyGaming]

Curtis Axels theme was a banger indeed... But let's talk about his Michael McGillicutty theme called And the Horse He Rode in On

[@zboy1152]

30:24 New favorite Deonte quote of 2025

[@iiTzJimbo76]

I rember this show fondly I had the DVD and watched it almost everyday

[@michaellavalleyiii]

Best 5 hours of my life! (Said no one)

[@Shaun_3114]

F the Rumble. Saddiq Khan gotta get Wrestlemania in Wembley.

[@tobznoobs]

35:18 Chris Paul hits a huge 3 to cut the lead down to 42

[@Willisintt]

Deonte, can you revisit the Tournament of Power...I couldn't help when I heard the song at the beginning of the video

[@TheCrazyfighter19]

Gotta feel bad for finn in that ladder match. Seths win felt like a hate crime 😂

[@Zecret_Warz]

Great video🔥🙏🏼

[@Iamthegroblin]

WWE had great momentum after the Royal rumble 2018, it’s a shame they couldn’t keep it after mania, and this.

[@P3TER_Official23]

Give us Yokozuna in the Royal Rumble🗣🔥 - 👳‍♂️

[@TheBrownsRealestFan]

Thanks again for using my comment... I wish you woulda read all of it for more laughs though. I had a great list... I knew u would like #5 . deonteddj deserves more subscribers

[@DrewMaxfield2]

Wasn’t Jericho around this time coming off, or in a fued with Kenny omega in new japan?

[@imoutotrash390]

Yeah this was like two months before he wins the iwgp ic title

[@evdomos]

The Raven meme goes hard.

[@Bcp123]

Leave singing the game to Marc lol

[@bradunderachiever158]

Gotta cover the ACTUAL greatest Royal Rumble 2010

[@mariosonicssbu3054]

18:31 Stone Age SmackDown review next

[@willwnck]

you should do a vid on the mae young classic!

[@michaellavalleyiii]

4:21 they took this off Spotify a while back I was pissed. I gotta try to find it again lol

[@IMKYLIANIT]

Wasn't even an actual RR, and we are getting an actual RR in 2026, might as well make it a 40 men/eomen royal rumble😂

[@P3TER_Official23]

14:28 Heist Of The Century, Pt. 2

[@N_DAnimationEnthusiast]

0:47 You jinxed it.

[@Louiepikmin33333]

Deonte you should watch WCW's worst rated PPV, i dunno what it is but still

[@realwrighthill]

2011 is my favorite Royal Rumble. My first ever match I saw was the 2015 Royal Rumble. What's the worst? I think 1999.

[@justmaskdoeswrestling7454]

Mansoor is in aew now, not that you’d know it cuz he just got dumped on Roh

[@ViniGotRobbed]

How was this the worst answer me: You got John Cena wrestling You got Triple H Entrance + Wrestling You got a casket match including the Phenom the Deadman Himself This ain’t the best RR but not the worst RR either.

[@IMKYLIANIT]

Hornswoggle tattoo when??

[@Zacsilk]

Anyone know which video the Triple H took my breath away sound bite comes from?

[@Nlw-zj8qk]

Raw after mania 2023

[@TheWaveRolled]

My glorious king

[@TheJaseDawg]

100% the worst rumble ever 👌😎

[@ZF3R]

Saudi subscriber here 🙋‍♂️

[@IMKYLIANIT]

2026 Rr should be 40 man/women

[@zackwyatt169]

The year roman got screwed out of the universal title

[@P.D.M.79]

I’m not telling the truth this rumble was good

[@goated_sal]

YESSIR, IM A SAUDI MADE MAAAAN!

[@IMKYLIANIT]

I dont think the best of rusev was ahead of him lol, unless he wins something in aew or returns to wwe

[@YourTrollKing]

Ayyyy greatest RR worst☝️

[@scottyboyrulez]

Who are you calling Barron?

[@HTM222HTM]

wait, I'm saudi and I see greatest royal rumble ppv, sometimes a show is a little good no more I mean it's a little bit nice🇸🇦

[@wwcwrestling227]

How are you doing today Deonte

[@DeonteDDJ_]

A little stressed but we're fighting through it for the #LoveOfTheGame! Hope you're doing well!

[@wwcwrestling227]

@ I am doing fine just stressed about school with finals coming up

[@marcusfaze]

I liked the 50 man rumble

[@lewimillionzYT]

Im in the minority of fans who kinda likes the rumble match

[@Venemofthe888]

If you don't count this rumble (like most people dont) I'd say the 1995, 1999 or 2015 are the worst rumbles in my opinion. 2002 is down there too

[@MauriceGucci]

The Daivari segment was so hilarious. He truly had nuclear heat.

[@__________15343]

FUCK YEAH

[@ThunderForce2000]

Disagree this was the worst Royal Rumble PPV because it at leat had a very good ladder match on the show. I think 1999, 2006 and 2022 are worse.

[@woobgamer5210]

nah, not 2006, 1995 rumble is also dhella ass, at least 2006 had Rey winning the rumble

[@ChristianQuilesvelez-zb8om]

I dare you to review hereoes of wrestling

[@ChristianQuilesvelez-zb8om]

Deonte

[@ChristianQuilesvelez-zb8om]

Ric flaair last match

[@alexgutierrez7954]

YESSSS🎉

[@julianportillo9286]

Hello

[@__________15343]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@snowglobetrotter4959]

I feel like the Greatest Royal Rumble doesn’t really count, to me I feel like it’s between 2014,15, or 22 as the worst

[@Venemofthe888]

1995 is quite bad too
