10 Worst WWE Royal Rumble Final Twos EVER
1. Roman Reigns & Rusev - 2015
Be honest everyone; until Rusev made his presence known in the final moments of the 2015 Royal Rumble, you forgot he was even in the match. Hell, you probably don't even remember the final two of that year because you were all so furious at what happened leading up to it.
The 2015 Royal Rumble is the equivalent of WWE telling us to, in the Rock's words, "know your role and shut your mouths". Roman Reigns was going to win the Rumble and no-one cared for that. The powers in the back though didn't care about what we wanted. We wanted Daniel Bryan to get his Rumble victory, like he should've got the year before. But no, he lasted 10 minutes and from then on the entire match broke.
In the closing moments of the match, Rusev was nowhere to be seen (he'd disappeared under the ropes at some point so wasn't eliminated), and all the remaining stars that everyone loved were dumped out of the ring by Kane and the Big Show. And as they were going to eliminate Reigns, for no reason at all, the corporate yes-men squabbled amongst themselves before Roman threw them both out. The Rock assisted with the ensuing beat-down and only then did Rusev emerge.
The Bulgarian Brute was disposed of in short order. The final hope of a winner that we liked was unceremoniously eliminated but by then, the fans were so checked out, they didn't care. The inevitable winner was crowned, and Reign's final two victory was essentially an afterthought in the sea of angry fans and #CancelWWENetwork.
