Conversely, it felt pretty clear to me that people were told to never just say "the Royal Rumble" to refer to the match (the way everyone I know casually does in real life) and were told to say "the Royal Rumble match" over and over, no exceptions, sentence flow be damned (much like how they will say "the Fiend, Bray Wyatt, 200 times in a match).

DBry's promo was like "I'm declaring myself for the Royal Rumble match because I've never won the Royal Rumble match and winning the Royal Rumble match is how I get to WrestleMania! And I've been training for the Royal Rumble match so I will be the man who wins the Royal Rumble match!" No one talks like that, haha.
