**OFFICIAL** 2015 Royal Rumble Thread - The Road To Wrestlemania Starts At TPWW

I said this in a Raw thread a while back I believe, but the main reason why "we" are "shitting" on Roman Reigns is because he simply has no character development since he debuted. Rollins progressed, Ambrose progressed, Reigns did not. He was the muscle of the group with them and he is just muscle without them. If he is going to get over, he needs to either find a way to better relate to the fans as a babyface or be completely re-packaged. We, the audience, are not stupid and we can see his character is no different now than it was in 2013.

Bryan was the favorite & most logical choice to win the Rumble. However, I think it would have been different if he had stayed in there longer and/or somebody other than Reigns would win if not him. Problem is that it was leaked on the net a long time ago that Reigns was the favorite to win behind the scenes. So in essence, we kinda new the most likely scenario. The fans in the arena (as well as others at home) wanted to see something different happen. Since Reigns was proclaimed the favorite, the fans wanted anyone other than Reigns to win. Same thing happened last year with Batista. It's a coincidence that it was Reigns as the runner-up, but the fans would have been cheering Duke The Dumpster Drose if it came down to he and Batista.

When Bryan got eliminated, it became a deflating moment because the anticipation was Reigns was going to win. Had they called an audible and had Ziggler, Ambrose, Wyatt, Rusev, hell even The Big Show win, then I think the reception at the end would have been different.
