7. Roman Reigns Enters At #19 To A Huge Chorus Of Boos
With Daniel Bryan being the 11th man eliminated from the Royal Rumble, the writing was on the wall for the Philadelphia crowd's reaction when Roman Reigns' music played. It was a LOUD chorus of boo's similar to last year's Rumble when Batista entered, and then later Rey Mysterio entered at #30 cementing that Daniel Bryan would be left out of the 2014 Royal Rumble. It would be hard to compare the past two Rumble crowds to see which reaction was more negative, but when Reigns entered the Rumble, the level of boo's were right up there. The displeasure from the WWE Universe was mainly stemmed from Daniel Bryan who many penciled in for at least a final four appearance let alone winning the whole thing. Once Bryan was eliminated and a few minutes later Reigns entered, that was a green light to the crowd in Philly and many social media contributors around the world as the writing was on the wall that this Rumble was going end up predictable and according to script just like last year. We'll talk more about Reigns later on in this article, but it was definitely a tough spot for him to be in.
