Why the Royal Rumble was a major letdown

 

Most WWE fans wait eagerly for months for this event. An event that was specifically designed to shake things up in the company. An event that is the launching pad for the show of shows. An event that  shapes the WWE landscape  for many months to come. Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, tonight, The Road To WrestleMania 30 kicked off with much less than a bang.

With The Rhodes Brothers losing their tag team titles to The New Age Outlaws during the kickoff show, Bray Wyatt defeating Daniel Bryan in the opening contest, and John Cena losing to Randy Orton once again, one could only hope that the annual Royal Rumble match would be able to salvage the night from its dreadful predictability it had suffered early on.

Unfortunately, the night would end just as predictable as it began, with Batista overpowering Roman Reigns in the closing seconds of the Royal Rumble Match, and throwing him with one arm over the top rope for the honor of headlining WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. despite the result of the royal rumble match, there are still five much bigger disappointments that took place  in tonight’s Royal Rumble Pay Per View.

5. The Brotherhood drops the tag team titles to The New Age Outlaws:

Case in point, another example of The WWE giving part time wrestlers a bigger push then their full time counterparts. Yes, The Rhodes brothers held the titles for three months after defeating The Shield back in October, but seriously why would The WWE waste its time putting championship belts on two guys with limited contracts, when there are many  amazing tag teams in the company  that deserve to be put over. It has to drive fans crazy to think that The New age outlaws would not only get the spot, but also win the championship match over guys like The Uso’s, Big Show and Rey Mysterio, The Real Americans and The Prime Time Players. WWE is so worried about what to do once the likes of CM Punk, John Cena, Randy Orton and Triple H retire for good, but refuse to put over new talent, and give them the push they need to succeed in the company.
