7 Reasons WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Will Bore You To Tears
7. Roman Reigns Or Daniel Bryan Can't Still Be Winning The Royal Rumble, Right?
Really, neither Roman Reigns nor Daniel Bryan can seriously be considered choices to seriously win the Royal Rumble, right? Daniel Bryan just returned to television and instead of being positioned as a kick-ass babyface who's got some steam in the win/loss column behind him, he's defeated Kane, and now has a loss to Bray Wyatt (albeit due to Kane's interference) and a DQ loss to Kane on Smackdown in the main event of the GO HOME SHOW prior to the Royal Rumble. As well, Roman Reigns is cutting kindergarten-level promos against The Big Show, and hasn't really knocked anyone into next year or speared them out of their boots in quite some time. Given that these are Roman Reigns' two best selling points as a pro wrestler - and that he's not engaging in either of those activities - how can anyone be seriously expected to see him win? Of course, either Roman Reigns or Daniel Bryan will win on Sunday, and what will we all do in response? Yawn. Booooring. Better presentation creates the best expectation.
