Powell’s POV: The official match time was 61:10, which was slightly longer than last year’s 59:40. This year’s men’s Rumble match lasted 71:42. Another huge thanks to Efren for compiling the list again this year.
Can you address the fact that the referees had told Shayna that she was eliminated already when she was standing on the apron with Natalya, meaning that Natalya had eliminated her and not Damage CTRL?
Not sure what to say. Sounds like something WWE needs to explain from a creative standpoint.
