9 Things That Ruined WWE Royal Rumble 2015

The 2015 Royal Rumble is in the books. What was expected to be another thrilling edition of the January event quickly turned sour, with numerous bizarre happenings in the 30 Man Battle Royal. After a thrilling title match between Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins and John Cena, the fans in Philadelphia and worldwide were left wondering exactly what happened, and what to expect going forward. Unsurprisingly, the victory of Roman Reigns is sure to be a subject of debate for many years to come. Some will argue it was time to crown a new top guy, while others will claim the king for this generation had already been crowned with Daniel Bryan. However, this Royal Rumble had numerous missteps that prevented it from hitting its stride. The happenings in this contest have many fans questioning their commitment not only to WrestleMania, but WWE itself. #CancelWWENetwork was actually the #1 trend in the world after the event. It was truly a puzzling night from the time the first man entered the Royal Rumble. It may be time to ask if the decision makers in WWE are really in touch with a changing wrestling world, stacked with challengers as close as their own developmental territory NXT, and as far as New Japan Pro Wrestling. Conversely, WWE was in this situation a year ago, and smoothed things over with the fans. However, this year could be an entirely different beast. These 9 things ruined The Royal Rumble.
