Ranking Every WWE Title Match At Royal Rumbles Worst To Best

All that anyone was interested in at the 2014 Royal Rumble was seeing Daniel Bryan emerge victorious in the titular Rumble bout.

Once Bryan had tore the house down with Bray Wyatt in the opening match of the show - D-Bry losing to the Eater of Worlds - Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center was solely focussed on the Rumble match and seeing the Yes! Man succeed.

So, when it came time for a lather, rinse, repeat John Cena vs. Randy Orton contest as they waited for the Rumble, nobody particularly gave a damn.

With Orton as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion here, it was very much everything you'd seen before from these two long-time rivals. It was fine, it was okay, it was passable, it was generic. Randal Keith get the W with an RKO following an assist from the Wyatt Family - all while the crowd chanted for Daniel Bryan.

Famously, the Pittsburgh crowd was left furious by WWE's decision to not include Bryan in that year's Royal Rumble contest at all. Instead, returning babyface Batista won the match to monstruous boos, whilst poor Rey Mysterio was completely sh*t on by those in attendance when he took the over-the-top offering's #30 spot.
