Edge loved that Nakamura won the Rumble match, pointing out that he needed it more than Roman Reigns or John Cena. The audience in Philadelphia obviously wanted Nakamura to win so this decision got a huge pop from the live crowd, but this type of victory helps build Nakamura’s credibility amongst mainstream fans as well.
Edge thought WWE made the right decision by putting the Women’s Royal Rumble on last. He liked the match a lot, and thought all of the women involved performed admirably. He was happy to see a lot of the veteran female performers return as surprise entrants, specifically his wife, Beth Phoenix.
He thinks it was a no-brainer for WWE to book Asuka to win this match, and he had no issue with Rousey appearing after the match. Christian agrees, pointing out that Rousey’s arrival was supposed to ruffle feathers, so all this criticism around Rousey stealing Asuka’s moment isn’t really justified in his opinion.
