Royal Rumble 2014

Royal Rumble certainly lived up to the hype, we saw title changes, Match of the Year performances and a very controversial end to the main event of the Royal Rumble.

The pre-show match was for the Tag Team Championships with the champions, Goldust and Cody Rhodes a.k.a. The Brotherhood, going up against Billy Gunn and Road Dogg a.k.a. The New Age Outlaws. We saw The New Age Outlaws become the new 6 time tag team champions of the world and this loss, one can assume, is the start of the long awaited Rhodes brother match at Wrestlemania 30.

The match that kicked off the actual PPV was Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt. This match will have to be considered as a match of the year candidate, it had everything a great match should have! Daniel Bryan's great work ethic and Bray Wyatt's athletic ability for a big man made this a match that needed to be watched by all fans of wrestling. Sadly Wyatt won the match but it was a great way to end the Bryan vs Wyatt feud.

This next 'match' was Big Show vs Brock Lesnar. The word match is in inverted comma's because you couldn't really call this a match. While Big Show was waiting in the ring while Lesnar made his way down to the ring, Lesnar attacked Show and pummeled him with chair shot after chair shot before the match had even started. Big Show got one knockout punch in but it only stunned Lesnar. Once the match had been started Lesnar F5ed Show for the win and then continued to beat Show with chair shots, breaking 3 chairs in the process. Lesnar looking dominant was the whole point of this match and the objective was achieved.

John Cena vs Randy Orton (c) for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was the next match and this was probably one of the most boring matches I have witnessed between Orton and Cena. We all knew Orton was going to beat Cena and bar a few spots where Cena RKOed Orton and Orton AAed Cena it was a fairly slow match filled with finishers. What was great was the manner in which Orton won the title. Cena had Orton in the STF when suddenly that Wyatt Family sound happened and the lights went out and when they came back on, The Wyatt's had surrounded the ring. Cena went to attack them but when he turned around, Orton hit the RKO for the win. Bray then used Sister Abigail on Cena to set up a Wyatt vs Cena feud with it all culminating at Wrestlemania.

Now onto what we were all waiting for, the Royal Rumble match! There were a handful of surprise entrants as predicted, some returns and also some records being broken.

Here is the list of who entered where in the Rumble:
1. CM Punk
2. Seth Rollins 3. Damien Sandow 4. Cody Rhodes 5. Kane 6. Alexander Rusev 7. Jack Swagger 8. Kofi Kingston 9. Jimmy Uso 10. Goldust 11. Dean Ambrose 12. Dolph Ziggler 13. R-Truth 14. Kevin Nash 15. Roman Reigns 16. The Great Khali 17. Sheamus 18. The Miz 19. Fandango 20. El Torito 21. Antonio Cesaro 22. Luke Harper 23. Jey Uso 24. JBL 25. Erick Rowan 26. Ryback 27. Alberto Del Rio 28. Batista 29. Big E Langston 30. Rey Mysterio
 

And this is the list of eliminations: 
1. Damien Sandow eliminated by CM Punk
2. Kane eliminated by CM Punk
3. Alexander Rusev eliminated by Cody Rhodes and others
4. R-Truth eliminated by Dean Ambrose
5. Jimmy Uso by Dean Ambrose
6. Jack Swagger by Kevin Nash
7. Kofi Kingston by Roman Reigns
8. Dolph Ziggler by Roman Reigns
9. Kevin Nash by Roman Reigns
10. The Great Khali by Roman Reigns
11. Cody Rhodes by Goldust
12. Goldust by Roman Reigns
13. Fandango by El Torito
14. El Torito by Roman Reigns
15. JBL eliminated by Roman Reigns
16. The Miz eliminated by Luke Harper
17. Jey Uso eliminated by Harper/Rowan
18. Erick Rowan eliminated by Batista
19. Ryback eliminated by Batista
20. Alberto Del Rio eliminated by Batista
21. Big E Langston defeated Sheamus
22. Rey Mysterio eliminated by Seth Rollins
23. Luke Harper eliminated by Roman Reigns
24. Antonio Cesaro eliminated by Roman Reigns
25. Seth Rollins eliminated by Roman Reigns
26. Dean Ambrose eliminated by Roman Reigns
27. CM Punk eliminated by Kane (who came back out)
28. Sheamus eliminated by Roman Reigns
29. Roman Reigns eliminated by Batista


As shown above, there were surprise entries for Nash, JBL and Alexander Rusev, Sheamus returned from injury, Roman Reigns beat Kanes 13 year record of 11 eliminations in one Rumble with 12 and probably two even greater travesties of Bryan not being entered into the match and Batista winning the whole event after a 4 year absence from the company. As soon as Rey Mysterio came out as number 30 and crushing the dreams of everyone in the process due to Bryan's absence the crowd were not pleased in the slightest. Boo's echoed around the arena and Daniel Bryan chants rang out! People cheered when the number 30 entry, Rey, was eliminated from the match and when it came down to the final three of Sheamus, Batista and Reigns, everyone was behind Reigns for the win, but was all in vain. Batista won the rumble and is main eventing Wrestlemania 30.

This was a sad day for Daniel Bryan fans and one can assume it seems to show the fans that WWE will do what they think is "best for business" and not what the fans want. Stay tuned for the fallout from the post Royal Rumble Raw.
