Every WWE Royal Rumble's Best Performer

by Andrew Pollard

2015 €“ Bray Wyatt

Yes, I know, I€™m still struggling to get over the poor 2015 Royal Rumble treatment of Daniel Bryan, too. And yes, Roman Reigns€™ forced push still isn€™t sitting right. But whilst the IWC still bitches (and rightly so) about Bryan€™s poor Rumble booking, at least we can look back at a fantastic turnout for Bray Wyatt. Entering at #5, Bray would eliminate 6 superstars during a 47-minute stint before it took the combined might of The Big Show and Kane to finally rid the Royal Rumble match of the Eater of Worlds. The WWE has at times struggled in how it€™s used Bray Wyatt over the last few years, but his dominant and eerie display in the 2015 Royal Rumble was most definitely the Wyatt character at his best. Even on his own following the disbanding of the Wyatt Family, Bray showed what an impactful presence he can be when used correctly. Bray Wyatt should be a massive presence over the next few years for the WWE, and here€™s hoping Bray sees more days like the 2015 Royal Rumble. Agree with these picks for the stars of each Royal Rumble match or do you think that there's some more worthy candidates out there? Take to the comments section to let your opinion be known.
