10 Biggest Booking Mistakes Of Roman Reigns' WWE Career
5. Having The Rock Save Reigns During The 2015 Royal Rumble
The 2015 Royal Rumble match was a mess. From the unceremonious elimination of Daniel Bryan to the painfully awkward return of such WWE "legends" as The Boogeyman, it was one of those Royal Rumble matches that left fans wondering just why it is that they look forward to the event every year.
Even though the match was awful enough to ensure boos once it ended, WWE did themselves no favors by having Reigns win the match only after receiving help from The Rock. While having The Rock almost single-handedly defeat the gang of attackers beating down Reigns is a tremendous way to get The Rock over, I'm not so sure that was WWE's intention on this particular night.
It also certainly didn't help The Rock gave a series of passionate promos putting over Reigns after this match. It was like he was his defense attorney in the case of The WWE Universe vs. Roman Reigns.
