You can’t be sure what you can expect in a subway in New York City and the same applies to WWE too. When two things of similar uncertainty merge, it comes out as Subway Royal Rumble. Maybe wrestling is not up to the mark here, but the uniqueness of the concept is something worth mentioning.
The reenacting of one of the most classic events of wrestling had its roots back in 2017, when Tim Haun Rivera of Hann Productions posted a YouTube video of some guys executing WWE Royal Rumble in a busy subway representing legendary superstars.

Some even imagined how it will look like if a real wrestling match will occur there sometime.

Also, some fans seem to really admire the show and the entire concept of the Subway Royal Rumble as well. They even think that this is nothing but a great honor for the five-star wrestler.
If that is not an honor to RVD, what is?

Seth Rollins’ tribute to the legendary superstar
The great in-ring artist got a lot of honors and tributes in his life from the fans, followers, and sometimes from fellow wrestlers as well. Recently, Seth Rollins was seen paying a heartfelt tribute to the star during October’s Extreme Rule last year, where he did the iconic thumb-pointing pose of RVD.
