As much as I don't care to see Rock/Cena 2, the fact that Cena won the Rumble didn't bother me so much.
However tonight Cena became only the 2nd guy in WWE history to win the Rumble with an entrant between 10-20 as he was #19. Shawn Michaels won from #18 in 1996. Every rumble someone that enters from the very beginning or very end wins, so it is kind of refreshing to see someone win from the middle numbers.

That is cool I guess. Poor # 11-19 rarely get love but now they have 2 wins.  I expected Cena to come out later on like # 25-30 so I was surprised he came out so soon. |

Always good to look at the statistics. Strange how there's only been 2 winners in that margin.
I always have that awkward moment when they mention that "only two people have won from #1" and they only mention Shawn Michaels. Just feels strange.

John Cena is the first guy to win 2 Royal Rumbles which wasn't back to back.

Honestly thought that Ziggler would go all the way.

That's crazy. I want someone to win from 11 or 13 next year.

I was hoping that Cena wouldn't win. In my opinion they should have gave it to Ryback and started building him up again. A WM main event for Ryback would solidify him as a top guy for sure.
I also think Cena didn't need the Rumble to build up to Rock vs. Cena @ WM...

I had a feeling Cena would win, but it would be cool if they had Ziggler and Jericho as the last two, kind of paying homage to Bulldog and HBK in Rumble 95 and have Jericho win.

I knew Cena was going to win but I was hoping Dolph would pull off an ironman performance. And he did
