I don't think the Rumble needs any major names coming from outside the promotion but it doesn't hurt to bring back a few crowd favorites. I would have gone with NXT guys that have a strong fan base.
Basically the issue is you have no real thread in this Rumble, AJ is in for a while and seems to play the guy keeping it all together but he get's tossed out unceremoniously, and the same thing with theory. The fans get hot for Orton and Riddle but nothing special happens with either guy.
It was just a basic Rumble with nothing too interesting getting you through it and then Brock comes in and takes it over and that's it. Pretty much a Rumble you can enjoy from highlights but it's not creatively satisfying like 92 with major stories starting and being developed.

Doesn’t seem like a bad take. I definitely think they could have done more with Orton, but I think the point about surprises is subjective. Many people would consider Bad Bunny, Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre surprises.
Not every Rumble is going to be a masterclass in epic storytelling.
