Whatever match followed the men’s Royal Rumble was going to have a tough time, but man, Seth Rollins, Jason Jordan, Cesaro and Sheamus were sent out there to die, weren’t they?

Rollins worked the entire match for his team, as Jordan got posted on the outside, leaving him all-but unable to participate (save for a quick tag in and out), while the Bar worked Seth over and eventually finished him off to end the epic five-week reign of Jordan and Rollins.

And fans could not care less about any of that. They must’ve used up their energy cheering for Shinsuke Nakamura, because they sure weren’t reacting to anything that happened during this match. It could have been 10 minutes of paint drying and it might have gotten a better reaction.
