-- WWE Royal Rumble PPV Reax

Mike Omansky, PWTorch correspondent (6.5): Good show, although the Rumble itself was disappointing. Best Match: Wyatt-Bryan. Worst Match: Royal Rumble. Wyatt-Bryan was excellent, and the right man won. Wyatt is a clearly main event heel, at least for the moment... Orton-Cena dragged for a while (I saw a much better match at the MSG house show), but improved greatly toward the finish... Batista was not impressive as the Rumble winner... Lesnar-Show was well done; Lesnar is again seemingly unstoppable.

Mark Strano of Dover, Ohio (0.0): Let me be clear, I am not the typical adult male fan who hates John Cena and has 1,000 conspiracy theories about Triple H. I've been a loyal WWE fan since I was the age of 10. I have been ordering WWE pay-per-views since 1992, spending 1,000s of dollars and I have never felt more unfulfilled with my purchase than I did tonight. WWE missed a chance to make a true star tonight. At first, I hated the crowd crapping all over the WWE Title match because I knew that WWE would give the fans what they wanted during the Rumble match. However, I feel betrayed as a consumer. Thank goodness WWE is giving me an option to watch PPVs for $9.99 on the Network because I will never again spend 55 bucks a month on their product.

Anthony Ward, PWTorch reader (4.0) I give it a 4.0 with Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt having the best match. To me, Bray could potentially be the next Ministry of Darkness in the sense of just absolutely destroying the faces. I like it. Finally, I was absolutely disgusted in Batista winning the Rumble.

Dominic of Philly, VIP member: I just wanted to mention that I voted in the PWTorch Royal Rumble poll and picked the event as an all-time great, but not because Batista won or the show was really that great, but because of what the event will stand for: the intense backing for Daniel Bryan, the extreme rejection for Batista, and the emergence of Roman Reigns. It will be remembered as the event where the fans really showed who they wanted as their top star, even if the company keeps trying to shove someone else down their throats. It's time for WWE to pull this trigger. They can have one-third of their cake with Roman Reigns, but the other two-thirds clearly belong to Daniel Bryan.
