10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Facts
4. Titus O'Neil's Elimination Was Botched
After entering the fracas from the number 26 spot, Titus O'Neil was eliminated after just four seconds. Seems humiliating enough for a cocky heel to get the boot after a minuscule amount of time, but it turns out that he was supposed to get the heave-ho in even faster time.
The plan was for O'Neil to be eliminated after just one second, but he was too far away from the ropes when Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns charged him. This necessitated a second attempt at propelling O'Neil over the ropes, which was achieved in four seconds, but not quick enough to tie Santino Marella's ignominious record.
According to The Wrestling Observer, Vince McMahon was allegedly furious at the failure to reach the time goal. So fear not, Philly crowd: Vince's night was ruined, too.
