5 Worst Royal Rumble Winners in the History of the Pay-Per-View
Winning the Royal Rumble is not and never was a cake walk. Apart from the confidence from the people backstage, a superstar had to win the crowd as well if he had to become a successful Royal Rumble winner.Majority of the winners achieved this paramount task with flying colors but there were a lot of others who ended up making a fool out of themselves. It would probably be a nightmare for both the company and the superstar but then again, wrestling fans are one of the most unpredictable breeds out there.As we prepare for witnessing another winner being crowned this year, here is a look at some of the worst Royal Rumble winners in the history.
#6 Honorable mention - Roman Reigns
Predictability hurts the WWE product and that is exactly why Roman Reign’ Royal Rumble 2015 win was an epic fail.
There were many reasons that contributed to the plan backfiring – one of which was Daniel Bryan getting eliminated early on the match that drew the ire of the Philadelphia crowd. The boisterous Philly crowd mercilessly booed Reigns as they got behind the leader of the Yes movement.
Even a cameo from Rock couldn't save the whole match from being a debacle. WWE’ horrid booking of the match didn’t help their cause either as it ended up being one of the most predictable Rumble matches ever.
