Minus the League/Reigns crap that was too distracting, this has been a fun Rumble so far

Yep and expect Reigns to be back.

So is Reigns eliminated? Having him come back and win would be terrible booking imo

Nope. They have made a point that he isn't eliminated.

Nope. They have made a point that he isn't eliminated.

He disappeared for most of the match. The crowd's going to shit all over it if he comes back and wins. not blaming Reigns for it but thats a terrible plan.They should have had him battle it out the whole time

I think HHH winning is what WWE is leaning towards with someone potentially screwing Lesner. The Wyatt Family with how they attacked Reigns and Lesner perhaps or Owens.

Batista's win was largely a waste of time. It just came at the wrong time when Bryan was on such a high that the crowd wasn't going to be happy with anyone else. He was likely promised the belt and then, well we all know what happened.

Damn I called that.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Called this too. WWE to predictable.

What a disappointing final four to a really good rumble

HHH just showing his ego is again bigger than what is best for business.

A tad predictable towards the end but overall it was a pretty entertaining match

Want to know who this biggest burier of young talent is? Look no further than HHH.

People want to say Cena burries talent, no HHH buries talent 100000x worse. Now we have to see him for the next 2 months. It's going to be terrible. I likely won't be tuning in.

The ending ruined everything nice the match did.

Exactly. Cena has no stock in the company. Sure, he is a top star and does have some pull, but he doesn't decide whether another wrestler should get a push or not. HHH on the other hand, I guess the ego could only take so much.

The WWE had a chance to The the course of bussiness tonight...............

but as always HHH buries

 

[futballiscool]

How dead is the Mania crowd going to be for Reigns/HHH? Depressing thought

 

[OregonDucks]

THE KING OF KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F YES!!!! I've been waiting years for Triple H the COO and now business man of the company to crown himself king!!! The Ego lives on!!!!!!

 

[OregonDucks]

In all seriousness, I would have taken anyone over Reigns. Loved how the crowd boo'd him and cheered for Trips....I wonder how that made Vince feel. His star baby face vs the enormous heel of Triple H and the roles were reversed with the crowd. That screams Reigns is an epic failure.

2.....Brock Lesnar should still be in....he was eliminated by guys eliminated from the Rumble. He wasn't eliminated by Bray or anyone else still in the match. So I sure as Hell hope WWE doesn't forget this and just move on. I mean if that is a rule that anyone that has been eliminated can come back and eliminate someone then its the stupidest rule in wrestling....So I Hope WWE comes back to this.


Also, with how big of a flop reigns is amongst the fans, maybe this sets up for Triple H vs Seth Rollins at WM....Rollins is a 10x better face than Reigns, and the crowd actually likes him and will appreciate him even more coming back from injury. Assuming of course Rollins is healty by WM.

 

[OregonDucks]

And I disagree with many here.....Besides the last 15-20 mins of this PPV. This thing sucked.

The 4 matches before the Rumble were worthless. The rumble itself used too much gimmick. I am just glad Reigns is not longer champ.

Give me Super Cena anyday over Reigns.

 

[futballiscool]

I'll be a mark and post it! One of the greatest Rumble moments of alltime! Even if he ends up on Main Event in a few weeks it was all worth it.. The theme is perfect too..
