Everyone knew Philly was going to boo Reigns if he won. The RR tickets sold out in less than 2 minutes and besides the title match which was AWESOME the rest of the show sucked. The best part of the actual rumble was Bubba coming back. The fans started booing once Bryan got eliminated because everyone knew that meant Reigns was going to win. They could have booked the Rumble so much better. Ryder, Curtis Axel, Jack Swagger, Big E, Adam Rose, Titus O'Neil, and I'm sure I'm missing some other but WTF that's about a third of the entrants who had no business being there. Why not Orton, Sheamus, ANYONE could have been better than some of these guys. Then they tease the Rock being there and all he does is raise Reigns hand. I wanted to go to the RR so bad but couldn't get tickets in time and now I'm glad I couldn't go. I would have booed too and hell yea I would have wanted a refund. The ONLY good match was the title match.

I enjoyed watching the Bellas in action :)

They should have waited on the Bryan return if this was the plan all along. Wait till mid February to bring him back so the fans don't hijack.

But at the same time...you don't want the fans hijacking every show with Bryan.

I agree. I'll be honest, but I was surprised that Bryan was able to come back in time for the RR.

Also it's not like Bryan has never gotten his moment or anything. So maybe he's fine with that.

Could be, and is actually very likely. It goes back to what I was saying about him being passive. He even admits he is passive and not ambitious. No way I think Austin accepts his moment or any of the other guys I mentioned when they reached the top.

I think some of the WM matches are obvious, but then it gets muddled. Will Orton be back by then? What about Sheamus? Is Taker going to do one last match? If they really wanted to shake things up and surprise the fans, (assuming Lesnar is not going to resign), they'd find a way to have Lesnar/Taker for the title and have Taker avenge his one loss. Then just have Taker drop the title soon after, or just retire leaving the title vacant. Then you could have a real free for all to see who gets the title.

Then they should have gone with something like a previously eliminated wrestler, or a surprise entrant (Sheamus or Orton) coming in and taking out Bryan. At least set up an angle. Hell, DDP got a better run tonight.

they've set Reigns up for failure IMO. Rollins and Ambrose have both been distanced from SHIELD association. Reigns still comes down to the same music, same attire, same through the crowd style. They need to give him a better platform. And a mouthpiece.

And have Vince stop writing his scripts.

I haven't watched wrestling a ton, but has there ever been a WM where the winner of the RR isn't in the main event?

Absolutely embarrassing night for WWE.

The triple threat was incredible. Those guys worked their butts off. Reigns can't touch any of those guys in the ring and certainly can't touch any of them on the mic (replace Brock with Heyman). It's pitiful that WWE continues to ignore the fans on Reigns, and sad that he will be walking out of WM as WWE Champion. It's not at all believable that he should be able to beat Lesnar, especially after what Lesnar went through tonight and they still gave him the win.

Back at the first two RR I think, before it was for the main event at WM.

And speaking of WM.....spoiler below:

I could be wrong, but I think past winners have put their spots up in matches in the past and lost. The historians on here will know more than I.

Here's another idea just to throw out there. (Again, assuming Brock doesn't resign.) Turn Reigns heel and make him a Heyman guy.

Well, we got 60+ days till WM. Maybe they will find some miraculous way to make Reigns at least somewhat ready. That's about all I can hope for him.

That championship match was awesome. All 3 guys put on a great show.

Rumble was disappointing and boring once it became obvious who was winning. Really was hoping for Orton to come back as well.

When all else fails, turn to Google.

Royal Rumble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Several wrestlers have put their spots up for grabs in the past. Cena even used his shot at a PPV before WM. So technically, you could have Reigns cash in at the next one(though he's currently booked to face Big Show), setting up for Lesnar to face someone else at WM.

All I know is Vince needs to shore up the leaks in the ship and stop making everything so damn predictable. His product is getting stale. He needs to start shaking it up and throwing surprises at the fans.
