9) A “Rocky” Reception
Last year’s Royal Rumble event was one that the WWE certainly wants to forget. What should have been an iconic picture with The Rock and Roman Reigns, turned into a picture that WWE wants to forget about in a hurry. Reigns was booed throughout the entire match. The Philly crowd got even worse following the elimination of Daniel Bryan. Ultimately, not even an appearance by The Rock could have saved Reigns from the crowd that night. The reactions to Reigns winning were so bad that the WWE actually considered once again adding Bryan to the WrestleMania main event for the second year in a row. I’m pretty sure the WWE’s looking forward to putting that moment past them with this year’s Royal Rumble match.
