2. Down With The Machine
One of the most interesting stories told during Sunday's Royal Rumble was one that last just a few brief moments but generated a loud reaction from the audience. Bray Wyatt, whose motto "down with the machine" is now emblazoned on a brand new t-shirt, came face-to-face with COO Triple H. An audible roar went up in the Amway Arena, the thought of a charismatic, enigmatic cult leader confronting the man he has vowed to bring. They exchanged a few fists but a Brogue Kick from Sheamus led to the elimination of the Reaper of Souls. That the fans reacted as strongly to the tease as they did suggests that maybe it should be Wyatt gearing up for a match with Triple H, and a feud with The Authority, rather than Roman Reigns.
