12 Key Moments From 2015 WWE Royal Rumble Match

11. Zack Ryder Returns From Injury To A Great Ovation

Ever since a nice run with the United States Championship to go along with a program involving John Cena and Kane, Zack Ryder has had a hard time finding a footing in the WWE. For the past couple of months, Ryder has been on the shelf with a torn rotator cuff, and he made his return on Sunday's Royal Rumble match. Once his music hit, the Philly crowd gave him a warm welcome as Ryder is a wrestler that the smart wrestling fans of Philly would love to see succeed. While he did get to hit a lot of his signature moves on Bray Wyatt, he was disposed of pretty quickly by Bray after only 34 seconds in the match. The combination of the crowd's reaction, and Ryder's performance in the ring will hopefully lead to at least another mid-card push, or maybe an involvement in a stable or a tag team. Ryder is only 29 years old, so there is still some time to find his way with the talent and social media prowess that he has.
