It seems safe to say that Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble win wasn't quite the moment of glory that WWE expected it be. A raucous Philadelphia crowd flatly rejected the hand-picked future of the WWE, but perhaps his loss will be another Superstar's gain. We've seen this before, with Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus at WrestleMania 28 being one recent example. When a crowd doesn't like the talent it's being told to, it will soon find someone else to rally behind. Here are the Superstars best placed to benefit from a hard-fought loss in the fallout of the Royal Rumble.   Bray Wyatt Having meandered through the ...

Monday’s edition of Raw emanated from WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, due to the winter storm that smashed into the east coast. Instead of cancelling the show, the company decided to air the entire Triple Threat match from the 2015 Royal Rumble for the WWE Championship as part of the broadcast. Most of the fans who witnessed the Royal Rumble pay-per-view live understood how great the Triple Threat was at the time, but after watching the match again, it was clear that the bout had saved the PPV from being regarded as one of the most disappointing in recent history. The success ...

In the wake of a highly controversial 2015 Royal Rumble, a crippling snowstorm struck the American Northeast, and with travel bans put in place by the governor of the state of Connecticut, WWE had no choice but to cancel the night's live Raw event in Hartford. As Vince McMahon has repeatedly declared over the course of his lifetime as a promoter, the show must go on, and it did Monday night as the company presented its weekly flagship show from WWE headquarters in Stamford. Just 24 hours after his...interesting...Royal Rumble victory, Roman Reigns sat down with Byron Saxton and addressed everything from his ...

Sting is one step closer to wrestling his first-ever match in a WWE ring. The company announced on Monday night that Triple H is issuing an open invitation to Sting to appear at Fast Lane on Feb. 22: WWE has teased a Triple H-Sting match ever since the former WCW champion made his debut at Survivor Series and cost Team Authority its match against Team Cena. Then, last week, Sting appeared again, interrupting yet another match involving The Authority's handpicked stars. He distracted Seth Rollins long enough for John Cena to pick up the win, which reinstated Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback. Triple ...

After the two confronted during the 2015 Royal Rumble post-show, John Cena and Rusev will be facing off in the ring for the first time. The WWE announced a match between the two will take place at Fast Lane: After the Rumble ended, Cena was being interviewed about his loss in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. Rusev then interrupted the 15-time world champion, and the two had to be separated by fellow superstars. For all intents and purposes, it looked to be the start of a Cena-Rusev feud, and that is indeed the direction WWE is going. Most likely, the match at Fast ...

Early on, the WWE Royal Rumble 2015 match teemed with potential, but after poor decision-making cut out the contest's heart, it was left to bleed on the mat, suffering. It felt like Dr. Jekyll was in charge of booking one-half of the Rumble and Mr. Hyde wrote the second half. WWE was smart to tease future feuds and build up a monster in line for a major clash at WrestleMania. Then came the out-of-touch choices. Despite how loudly fans had made it known whom they wanted to win, WWE stubbornly plowed ahead in a different direction. Beyond choosing Roman Reigns over Daniel Bryan, ...

The 2015 Royal Rumble will be remembered just as its predecessor: a Battle Royal that ended in outrage. But, this time around, was it justified? In a night with an instant classic Triple Threat and a controversial Royal Rumble, how did WWE fare in its first pay-per-view of the year?

Following Brock Lesnar's spectacular performance in the Triple Threat match at the Royal Rumble, it is abundantly clear that Vince McMahon needs the star to stick around through 2015 and beyond. Per recent reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t MMAJunkie.com), people in management are working under the assumption that Lesnar will return to the UFC once his contract runs out after WrestleMania. However, letting the performer go back to MMA would be a significant mistake on WWE's part. Lesnar may not be a regular performer on television—he can go weeks and even months at a time without making an appearance—but when he does show ...

The 2015 WWE Royal Rumble match felt more like a kidney punch than the celebration of a star's rise. Blame WWE for misreading its audience and underestimating fans' passion for Daniel Bryan for the second year in a row. The anti-climactic Rumble not only fit Roman Reigns with a crown fans weren't ready to seem him wear but featured a succession of missed opportunities.  Not enough was made of The Miz and Damien Mizdow's tension. Randy Orton remained on the sidelines. The Rock came in too late, walking onto a pile of ashes to save a burning building. The following is a reimagining ...

Roman Reigns' Royal Rumble celebration is going to have to wait; the Jan. 26 edition of WWE Raw is postponed due to inclement weather.    Hartford, Connecticut, was supposed to host the pay-pay-view fallout show, but nature had other ideas. Snow hit the region hard, causing WWE to pull out of its premier program. WWE will not tape SmackDown from Boston on Tuesday and will air a live SmackDown edition from Hartford on Thursday instead. WWE confirmed the news in an official press release. Austin Hunt of BuzzFeed posted WWE's announcement: WWE was expecting a torrent of fan backlash after fans rebelled against the ...
