My friend Jamal said it better than I could but Pittsburgh weren't happy when Batista, who for the 2nd time and at the same number ironically, won the Royal Rumble but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start from the beginning.
Bray Wyatt is a star! Bryan and Wyatt started the annual PPV and did not disappoint. In Wyatt's best WWE match, he defeats the hottest superstar in WWE Daniel Bryan after a solid 20 minute affair. It was a really good back and forth contest with great reversals and storytelling. I loved Bryan reversing Sister Abigail into the Yes Lock. The suicide dive into Sister Abigail was great as well. WWE put the lights on Wyatt and he shined. I can't wait to see what's next for Wyatt. Oh wait, they already showed what's next...
Lesnar annihilated Big Show. So it's only a matter of time before Taker comes back huh?
Orton beats Cena with the help of The Wyatts! And afterwards, they beat him up. Looks like Wyatt's quest to kill all of our heroes is continuing and what bigger hero is there than John Cena? It's going to be awesome to see this build to this match seeing how it will most likely be Cena's lowest put match on the Wrestlemania card in history. Somehow, someway, Cena's won't wrestle until 10PM at Mania. Mark my words.
The Royal Rumbe was filled with surprises, like Kane, Kevin Nash, the obvious Sheamus, and the NXT upstart Alexander Rusev, good to see him. Reigns made all of the WWE Universe proud when he broke Kane's record of eliminations in the match by 1, setting the new record at 12. To break that record must mean you're going to do big things in the company. Keep at it Reigns! Looks like The Shield Triple Threat will happen at Mania. That would be a great start to the PPV. Kane eliminated Punk, which sets up their match at EC and the Punk/HHH match at Mania. Can't wait to see it and it's good to see that Punk wasn't eliminated by anyone else in the Rumble. Good way to save him. Anyway, we didn't get Bryan in the Rumble and the crowd wasn't happy. They actually booed little Rey Mysterio I mean they actually BOOED him. And they made their voices clear when Batista finally ended up eliminating #15 Roman Reigns. I NEVER, not even when Del Rio, Orton, or Batista the 1st time, heard boos that LOUD for a Royal Rumble winner. It's sad that people make one decision affect their whole outlook on a PPV because this PPV was solid. Batista winning was predictable but it's Wrestlemania 30 everybody! Orton/Batista in the main event is HHH's lovechild! It's what he wants and unless someone from the IWC joins WWE creative, it's what we're going to get. Sorry. If WWE hasn't unified the titles, I believe Reigns would have pulled off the upset but WWE dug their own grave on that one.
So after tonight, I think we can safely say that Orton/Batista will be the show closer at Wrestlemania 30, while Cena/Wyatt and Punk/HHH will be upper card matches. The rumored Bryan/Sheamus and Lesnar/Taker matches haven't been properly set let but I guess we'll have to wait for the weeks to come. Overall, good PPV, the youth shined again, just like Survivor Series and I'm excited for the months to come. Congrats to Batista, Wyatt, and Reigns on their performances!
Isn't it weird Batista won at #28 AGAIN? And why is it the guy who eliminates the most guys ALWAYS get eliminated last? Ah, well, questions that won't be answered...
