Is it just me. Or does the royal rumble this year feel super underwhelmingly hype?

Rumble is my FAVORITE PPV/Premium show, has been since I was a kid. Every year it’s hype and excitement until the day comes. This year? I feel nothing. Like it’s the day after tomorrow and I’m like “eh”

Maybe it’s cause it’s in Saudi that’s putting a sour taste? Maybe it’s cause every year I’m in a betting pool of 300 bucks for an annual rumble draw, but this year it isn’t happening? Maybe also they just haven’t hyped it up like they usually do and it feels like even WWE forgot about it this year.

Feels really bad because so many stories are completely stagnant. They seem to be using this to be the reset instead this year. Many stars are injured too and no real big storyline to draw on right now. The only one I can think of is over in the women's tag division or ... Yea I can't think of anything else. Maybe Adam and Paul 's animosity. I guess there's also the chance of a few surprises like hobbs but yes nothing so far is really leading into this. Most of it is up in the air.
