10 Mistakes WWE Made With Alberto Del Rio
4. Role In The Royal Rumble
Sticking with the League of Nations theme, I feel like there
was a real opportunity missed with regards to their handling in the 2016 Royal
Rumble match.
During the early stages, we saw the Putty Patrol - sorry, the League of Nations - ambush Roman Reigns and drag him out of the ring. Curse those pesky villains!
When push came to shove in the actual match though, their
alliance seemingly fell apart as the group posed little to no threat at all. When
all was said and done, Reigns had eliminated each member of the group at
various stages of the match.
I appreciate that we instead saw the Wyatts fill that role of the being the dominant faction who collaborated throughout the match, but why not have the League of Nations do the same, leading to a stand-off between the two teams? Personally I feel like that would have been a much better use of Del Rio and his multicultural buddies than simply feeding them to Reigns one by one.
