With Roman Reigns victory on Sunday night's pay perview he is the number 1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, at WrestleManina XXXI.

Reigns, Big Show, Kane and Rusev were the last participants in the ring. Reigns eliminated Kane and Big Show but that wasn't all. They both quickly decided to get back in the ring to attack Reigns once more.

All of a sudden The Rock shows up out of nowhere and helps make the save for his cousin Reigns, to take out Big Show and Kane. Where was Rusev this whole time ? He was hiding under the ring, trying to find the perfect opportunity to stike. But all fails when he tried to surprise Reigns, Rusev recieved a spear on his end.

Soon after The Rock held Roman Reigns hand up in triumph, which had little effect on the crowd. Reigns was boo'd the entire time. It had to take more than The Rock to turn the crowd in Reigns favor. Roman Reigns is a excellent wrestler and has been getting pushed since last year to become the new face of WWE. However, nobody really likes him anymore because his microphone skills are not great at all. He also doesn't sell his character well enough. The crowd wasn't pleased when he won the Royal Rumble.

The crowd's frustrations all began when super star Daniel Bryan was eliminated and it seemed to escalate with Dean Ambrose's and even Dolph Ziggler's eliminations.
Daniel Bryan entry No. 10 was elimimated by Bray Wyatt who was No.5, Dean Ambrose No.25 was eliminated by Big Show No.29 and Kane No.24. I also found myself a bit displeased when I saw Dainel Bryan get eliminated so quickly. Seeing the Boogeyman coming in as No. 7 was amusing even though his time was short lived. His feud with Bray Wyatt was interesting and unusual.

What are your thoughts about the Royal Rumble ? Do you feel that Roman Reigns deserved to become victorious ?

Yesterday's Royal Rumble could have been better. I have seen better Royal Rumbles. I don't know if it was just me or something but it felt a bit rushed and rigged to me.

What I liked:
-Bubba Ray coming back and the pop he received: the crowd went nuts for it as well as I. I didn't expect him to come. He is one of my favorites in the tag team category.
-Kane breaking the record of all time eliminations
-Bray Wyatt's time in the ring during the Royal Rumble: The encounters with the superstars that he has never encountered before especially with the Boogeyman.
-The crowd just cheered when their favorites come out like Ambrose, Bubba Ray, Bryan, and etc.

What I hated:
-Half of the match just went downhill because of the way the match was executed. People wanted to see their favorites at least get to end of the match. You have people like Bryan, Ziggler, and Ambrose got eliminated so quickly which was probably most of the reason why the crowd was booing like crazy. I was at least expecting them all to make near the end.
-How rigged the match was: Rusev somehow didn't get "eliminated" until the very last minute and it gave some fans confusion. Also, where was Axel? I know he was attacked but he should have at least stepped into the ring. Also, Kane and Big Show just magically went back inside of the ring after they got eliminated. Nobody was there to even stop them and anything.
-The way the Rock was used: It doesn't make sense to me when the Rock came out of nowhere. I think it rigged the ending of the match and most importantly, he couldn't save the Royal Rumble despite of the fact that he is one of the all time favorites. The boos to Roman Reigns was just overflowed. Sorry WWE but you cannot just simply shove down your future main eventer to the fans.

I don't really like the idea of Roman Reigns winning but WWE should have at least booked him to look stronger, not have the Rock try to hog the spotlight and do his work. It just made Roman Reigns look weaker and the crowd booing at the future face main eventer. I don't blame the crowd at all from last night.

I was expecting Orton or Sting to appear during the night but it didn't happen.

I watched the Royal Rumble a bit late, and I was quite confused, and disappointed.
Bryan did not just get eliminated so early, but he got eliminated so easily. Rusev 
tried to eliminate Bryan but failed, then Wyatt just runs and pushed him, and he falls?
That was just too stupid and lame. The moment Bryan, which I personally feel he is the
number one with the highest fan base currently, got eliminated, that was the moment the Royal Rumble
crashed. Then Ambrose came out, the third favorite, and he got eliminated so damn quick as well.
And then Dolph Ziggler the 2nd favorite, everyone was hoping he'd make it because Bryan got eliminated.
And he should have made it. And he got eliminated! The crowd then just gave up, they boo'd and boo'd.
And I respect the crowd for doing so, they sent a message around the world. For Vince to actually listen to the damn crowd!
A message got sent around the world, when trending worldwide was #CancelWWENetwork . And 
the server got shut down because so many people were canceling there subscription.
The staff on the webpage that helps for cancelling and subscribing actually told people that they couldn't help
because there was too many people trying to cancel at once. I'm happy that this was done, because this will
send a message, and I know now that roman isn't going to stay number 1 contestant. Something is going to happen.
The fan's just don't want it to happen. He doesn't deserve that spot. He just came back from surgery, and now gets a spot?
Dolph fits the best for it, he's been fighting his ass off 2014, and he deserves that champion shot. 
Bryan would have also fit, although he also just returned.
I'm also surprised Orton or sheamus hasn't returned. Oh and what about axel? He was never actually eliminated.
If rusev was able to hide under the ring the whole time, why wasn't Axel allowed to fight as well?
Even on Axel's twitter, he was like "Uhm I was never eliminated"
I don't know, but I think WWE screwed up big time.
It's going to be interesting to see what they do.

Alright, before I start, let me just say that the last time I watched WWE was like a Paper Per View or two after the Money in the Bank, so I am a bit behind.

I think that Roman Reigns is the best choice to take the belt off of Brock Lesnar. He has the right character and size. My question is what happened to all the hype and people liking him a few months ago? 
As for Daniel Bryan, I know he was hurt and out because of neck surgery longer than expected, but how long has he been back? I would have at least expected him to be one of the last 4 or 5 guys left. 

And there is a Bubba Dudley. When I heard the music and saw who it was, my jaw dropped, and I let out the shriek of a little girl! I could not believe that he was on WWE. I thought him and Devon were doing their thing or feuding in TNA. 
And then seeing the Boogeyman was kind of cool too. 

Keep in mind, I started following WWE sometime around the Triple H and Undertake match at WrestleMania ( not the Hell in A Cell with Shawk Michaels... the one before ). At least, I think so. I started following it at the end of 8th grade. I remember that much. So, seeing Bubba Dudley and the Boogeyman was really cool. 

thing1 : This happened a while ago, about a year. He went from being loved to being public enemy number one. His multi-elimination ramapge during the 2014 Royal Rumble foreshadowed a push that the fan's wanted to see. After all this time and hype he has just been the same, never changed so it was a huge disappointment.

Daniel Bryan has made his in- ring return on January 15. He made some appearances on Raw to give updates about his surgery and was even a guest General Manager for both Raw and SmackDown. So he hasn't been back that long.

thing1 : Roman Reign's mic skills stink in my opinion. I haven't been seeing how he talks on the mic that much but I have seen 2 of his promos. Let's just say that they were out of his character to say those lines but I can't blame it all on him. WWE basically gave him those bad scripts. What has those acting classes taught him? Hopefully he improves on his mic skills quickly. I wonder... Also, the Rock basically helped him but that didn't stop the booing at all like yikes. It made Roman Reigns look weak with the Rock coming out and everything. It wasn't necessary for the Rock to come out of nowhere.

The crowd was basically behind Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, and Dean Ambrose and they all got eliminated so quickly. I expected them to at least make it near the end. I mean what would be better than to have all of your favorites to build up the hype? It could have been so much better with Bryan, Ziggler, Ambrose, and Wyatt.

Bubba Ray returning was pretty awesome and I think that received the biggest pop from the crowd. Since D-Von wasn't around, R-Truth was the replacement. They even did the 3-D together! I am still disappointed that they didn't get a table to do the 3D despite of the fact that Bubba Ray asked for the tables.

cnw64 : It would have been better if the Rock didn't pop around. Roman Reigns can handle Big Show and Kane himself.
 

 

Well Roman in my opinion is and excellent superstar no matter what any fan thinks of him. Do I think he deserved it... well any man who can win the Rumble, deserves to win the Rumble. And c'mon, if he didn't win do you think Rusev would have been anymore deserving of that victory? He hid when the two big guys were K.O.ing everyone and tossing them out of the ring like they were yesterday's lunch. As far as I am concerned Roman was the last person to be eliminated last year and he deserves a second chance this year which he got. And it is always good to see The Rock lay the smackdown on some Authorized candy a-..... arbitrators. As for the other super stars that were eliminated early on well they will get there chance soon enough. Bryan never got pinned to lose his title and Ambrose still has some beef with Rollins. Ziggler is also owed a rematch for the IC Championship. The Road to Wrestlmania seems to not yet have been fully paved but it will all come down to that Sunday night in April. Can't wait. 

How I looked at it, Sure, when Roman won the Rumble last night, not a whole lot of fans were too happy because they wanted someone else to win like Bryan (who I hope to win), Ziggler, Wyatt, Ambrose, and even some of them wanted Randy return and win it all, but it has never really happened and it has disappointed a lot of fans. Sure, having Roman winning it is still alright to my opinion, but I did wanted a bunch of other hot contenders win it.

All the surprise entrances in this year's Rumble match were all awesome, especially they were wrestlers from my time that I watched it in the late 1990's to late 2000's, it's nice to see them in it, but to my point of view, I wish they were in a whole lot longer though, I feel like that they got the least amount of time in than any other surprise entrances (well, except the Godfather back in 2013), plus when Bubba Ray came out, I was hopeing that D-Von would also show up but I was wrong though, which is a huge disappointment. as for the other 2 (The Boogeyman and DDP) that has really got me excited in this year's Rumble match. But the match really got bombed when Daniel Bryan was eliminated, and people didn't care about the match from that point on like me.

ghostfishy : Sure, I know the WWE has been going downhill ever since they switch back to PG rating, and I think that was a huge mistake, and with that mistake, the company has been loosing money, and even with the WWE Network, it isn't really helping too much, so they are really in the red right now, but I have heard rumors about then switching back to TV-14 due to this issue, and I think that is a great idea they should do, gives the story writers a little bit more freedom on what they want to create instead of forced to write things so it doesn't offend the little kids and parents, blah blah blah.

To, to my opinion, do I think Roman deserved the win, well, in a way yes, and in a way no. I did want to see him win it more than a bunch of other wrestlers like Rusev, Kane, Big Show, and just to name a few, but at the same time, I really wanted to see good guys getting it as well like the 4 I mentioned earlier. That's my opinion though.

IgorBird122 : I don't mind the PG rating on WWE. You can still have great matches with it and we have seen some of those great matches. However I do agree with you on the cheesy storylines in order to relate to kids. An example is when Roman Reigns was referring to Jack and the Beanstalk while talking smack against the Big Show. Like really? Jack and the Beanstalk? Worst of all, that didn't match his character at all. The good news is that I heard that WWE NXT is doing pretty good. I think the fans were booing like crazy because Bryan just got eliminated quickly. Even Bryan was shocked with his sudden elimination. I think that Ziggler getting eliminated was worse. He basically got tossed out like garbage. I don't mind them getting eliminated as I love some of the superstars but it was rather rushed quickly. At least make them last longer in the ring or have them eliminated in a more realistic way.

Mr. Zed : You make a good point on Rusev. Speaking of which, Axel didn't even get eliminated nor had a chance to step into the match. There was lots of flip flopping going around.

ghostfishy : This video pretty much explains how everybody felt when certain wrestlers got eliminated.

Wait a minute... I am so confused. Can somebody knowledgeable on the subject please give me a full play by play update ( within reason ) about what has gone down since TLC via PM, please? I am so lost and I would like to be caught up now. 

AAAAH, I'm pissed because of this rumble, like really pissed, Bubba ray was cool but that's everything that was remotely fun about it.

Now to the bad things about it

First of all. All fan favourites getting eliminated so freaking stupidly, what in the world did you do witb bryan, darn! No drama at all, Ziggler: No drama, Dean amrose: No drama. Now, Roman Reigns... Okay, that would be good, right? A one dimensional guy you give the most boring move-set ever? And less then average mic skills? Yeah, that'll be good. NO, these are not the 80's anymore, heck Hogan's mic skill's were better then Roman reigns....
This illustrates it perfectly:

 

I think everyone knew going into the Rumble, that either Daniel or Roman would win, so I can't say I'm surprised that the jacked up, former football player won. He's just the kind of guy that Vince loves. And it's typical of Vince to shove the guy he loves down the fans throats.

If someone should be the face of the company or the next huge star, to me at least, it should feel organic. This push doesn't feel that way. He has very limited in-ring skills. His mic skills are horrendous and he has about as much personality as a cardboard box. Honestly I feel he's way too green to be given the main event spot at Wrestlemania. 

My bitterness isn't even that Daniel lost, but that most of the talent that the fan's really love i.e.: DB, Dolph and Dean, were eliminated without a thought and seemed to be rushed out of the ring. It's like Vince just can't handle the fact that people love these guys. 

Now there are reports that DB and Dolph will have a match at WM 31. That's...great, I guess. I mean I know that match will steal the show, but both deserve so much more. This will be the first Wrestlemania that I wont be purchasing. The WWE's decisions have just killed my interest in something I've loved for over 20 years. 

GAAAAAH freaaking spoilers im not caught up yet XD
