10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Facts

10. Xavier Woods Was Pulled From The Pre-Show Match

Seems like forever ago that The New Day were a hated group of repulsively-cheerful "babyfaces" that came off about as sincere as an infomercial host. It wasn't until later in 2015 that the trio found new life through their genuinely-witty personalities and irreverent behavior, but until then, they had to grin through the irritated booing.

As part of their initial run, Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were supposed to take on Cesaro, Tyson Kidd, and Adam Rose in a six-man elimination match on the Royal Rumble's Kickoff show. The match would be turned into a standard tag bout with Woods and Rose removed, due to Woods still ailing from an ankle injury. The other five men would also all take part in the Rumble match later in the night.
