Just really poorly booked rumble matches that showed the lack of depth/starpower WWE has created. That was always going to catch up to them.
Besides the general lack of drama in both matches and that neither Brock or Ronda needed a win to have big WM matches there's also so many things...
Quote:
* Rey/Dominic tease on tv for weeks they will eliminate each other in the Rumble - not in the match at the same time
* Austin Theory given gimmick of Vince McMahon's protege on RAW, doesn't do any big eliminations in the Rumble or do anything memorable, anti-climatically thrown out
* Damian Priest gets a big undefeated streak going on tv, doesn't do any big eliminations in the Rumble or do anything memorable, anti-climatically thrown out
* Bad Bunny is in the Rumble and not even at the same time as Damian Priest, his tag partner at Mania, robbing the crowd of a fun reunion moment
* Cameron, Alicia Fox and Melina are all in the Rumble match and none of them at the same time, robbing the fans of a fun nod to Cameron's Tough Enough 'favorite match' moment
* AJ Styles is #1 entrant in the Rumble, anti-climatically thrown out by a jobber from a different brand
* Sasha Banks is the #1 entrant in the Rumble, having returned from injury the night before on SD, anti-climatically thrown out by a jobber
* Natalya/Summer Rae spend weeks building up a feud through Twitter, nothing really comes from that during the Rumble match
* Big E was WWE Champion a month ago, doesn't really do anything in the Rumble, anti-climatically thrown out
