First of all how would you rebook the 2015 Royal Rumble PPV?

If you had to rebook the 2015 Royal Rumble PPV what would you have done differently? How would you have booked the Royal Rumble Match? Or how would you have booked the whole card in terms of championship matches and what not?

Well for the Royal Rumble Match itself my list of 30 entrants would have been like this:

1- The Miz (eliminated by Bray Wyatt)
2- Damien Mizdow (eliminated by Bray Wyatt)
3- Bray Wyatt (eliminated by The Rock)
4- The Boogeyman (surprise entrant) (eliminated by Bray Wyatt)
5- R-Truth (eliminated by Bubba Ray Dudley)
6- Bubba Ray Dudley (surprise entrant) (eliminated by Bray Wyatt)
7- Curtis Axel (no Erick Rowan attacking Axel) (eliminated by Bray Wyatt)
8- Goldust (eliminated by Stardust)
9- Bo Dallas (eliminated by Dean Ambrose)
10- Big E (eliminated by Rusev)
11- Dean Ambrose (eliminated by Kane & Big Show)
12- Ryback (eliminated by Rusev)
13- Stardust (eliminated by Reigns)
14- Sin Cara (eliminated by Luke Harper)
15- Kofi Kingston (eliminated by Rusev)
16- Adrian Neville (NXT) (surprise entrant)
17- Rusev (eliminated by Bryan & Reigns)
18- Luke Harper (eliminated by Big Show)
19- Kane (eliminated by The Rock)
20- Big Show (eliminated by The Rock)
21- Bad News Barrett (eliminated by Ziggler)
22- Roman Reigns (eliminated by Bryan)
23- DDP (surprise entrant) (eliminated by Rusev)
24- Zack Ryder (eliminated by Daniel Bryan)
25- Cesaro (eliminated by Daniel Bryan)
26- Dolph Ziggler (eliminated by Rusev)
27- Daniel Bryan (surprise entrant) (WINNER)
28- Tyson Kidd (eliminated by Orton)
29- Randy Orton (surprise entrant) (eliminated by Rollins)
30- The Rock (surprise entrant) (eliminated by Rusev)

Final Six: Bryan (#27), Reigns (#22), Rock (#30), Rusev (#17), Ziggler (#26), Wyatt (#3)

* Orton (#29) would have been eliminated by Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins, a man who wasn't even in the match. Rollins on the flip side with him costing Orton the Royal Rumble Match it basically adds to their rivalry since Rollins took Orton out of action and Orton basically wants revenge on Rollins for taking him out.

Final Five: Bryan (#27), Reigns (#22), Rock (#30), Rusev (#17), Wyatt (#3)

* Ziggler is eliminated by Rusev

Final Four: Bryan (#27), Reigns (#22), Rock (#30), Rusev (#17)

* Bray Wyatt is eliminated by The Rock after lasting almost 50 minutes especially from the #3 position lasting the longest out of any of the 30 men

Final Three: Bryan (#27), Reigns (#22), Rusev (#17)

* The Rock is eliminated by Rusev pretty much adding to Rusev's list of eliminations. For Rusev this would be his biggest elimination especially while Rock is focused on eliminating Bryan from the match. Rusev from behind eliminates The Rock which further adds to Rusev's heel heat but also builds a program for Rock heading into Mania 31 with Rusev.

Final Two: Bryan (#27), Reigns (#22)

* Rusev is eliminated by both Reigns & Bryan who team up in a double-team effort to eliminate him which leaves Reigns and Bryan as the crowd favorites out there fighting it out

2015 Royal Rumble Match Winner: Daniel Bryan (#27) last eliminating Roman Reigns (#22)

As for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship the Triple Threat Match between Lesnar, Cena and Rollins I thought was booked perfectly from start to finish. I wouldn't change anything there with the outcome still being the same and that is Brock retaining the title.

But I would end the PPV with Bryan celebrating his win fireworks and all but Lesnar backstage with Heyman in Lesnar's locker room with his belt on his shoulder watching Bryan's win almost with a smirk on his face.

I would've kept everything the same except Daniel Bryan doesn't return until after. That solves a few issues.

Also, Big Show and Kane don't hand toss every fan favorite out like a bitch. It should've came down to Reigns-Ambrose

Plus Daniel Bryan returning after the Royal Rumble PPV is perfect but also if he returns he pretty much is in the main event think about it. Look at it like this because Bryan he never really lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship because he had to surrender it due to injury and then you have The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar as the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion. However, then you have Roman who wins the 2015 Royal Rumble Match and you have yourself a Triple Threat Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31 with Lesnar defending his title against Reigns and against Bryan in the main event.

I'd rebook the Rumble two ways. Either A, Daniel Bryan returned AFTER the Rumble, and Roman Reigns wins, eliminating Ambrose or Ziggler last, or B. Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan are the final two, with them two wrestling for a few minutes before Reigns eliminates Bryan to win. Either way, I would have kept Reigns as the winner, especially with how Bryan was after winning the IC Title.

I would have still kept Roman as the winner. Without him, we wouldn't have seen the awesome match at Wrestlemania 31 that was Roman and Brock.

Only thing I would have changed is how some people were eliminated. Seeing Big Show dump Bray, Dolph and Ambrose over the ropes like they were nothing was just wrong.

If you just switch Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan in everything from Rumble to Mania, it would have worked out way better for everyone imo. Nobody holds the hostility against Reigns, he goes onto win the IC Title at Mania, and he could be on a much steadier climb to the World Title come Mania 32 as we speak. Instead, Reigns has Lex Luger cliff dived back to the midcard where he likely isn't going to recover. Bryan, even if he gets hurt, still looks like a credible main eventer for closing down Mania 31. Plus, Bryan was a great candidate to win the Rumble and lose. As an underdog, it makes more sense for us to rally around his loss, especially given how Rollins took the title. Brock is protected either way, but Bryan gains momentum from getting beat, and Rollins still walks away champion. And again, Reigns is protected by getting an important IC Title run that could have resulted in KO winning at some point between SummerSlam and Survivor Series.

Whatever. WWE did it the way they wanted, didn't want to listen to anyone and ruined Reigns. It's a shame. They've been getting the exact opposite reaction they've wanted with him for going on almost a year now.

Agree with this 100 percent. The story of Bryan vs The Beast would be so much more entertaining. It literally writes itself. Underdog on road to redemption vs the conquerer, that's it, nice and easy. Instead, they decide to put their main event project of Roman Reigns in a terrible situation setting him back around a year.

Ah the Royal Rumble, the crowd loved that one eh?

Amazingly there was 2 people on my Twitter desperately trying to defend Reigns winning that thing while condemning every fan who was against the decision. When 17,000 fans are booing the hell out of something, there's a problem. These 2 just chalked it down to "internet fans" being idiots and not knowing what they want. Total

ing arrogance. But that's your teenagers for ya.

I wouldn't have had Show and Kane toss people out like they did.

Final four of Roman, Ambrose, Rusev and Wyatt.

Rusev and Wyatt beat down Roman and Ambrose and eliminate Ambrose.

Roman gets back up and fights back and eliminates Rusev.

Roman and Wyatt fight and Roman eliminates Wyatt.

Roman wins.

No Rock.

Have Daniel Bryan win. Not that I'm a Reigns hater, because I actually like the guy. He just wasn't ready. He had an unimpressive 2014, was given superstar of the year, when he did nothing worthy of that. He's had a much better 2015, and I would have been fine with him winning the 2016 Rumble.

My problem with this years Royal Rumble was that Roman Reigns looked like a ****, especially when he looked like such a freaking badass in 2014. The actual Rumble match its self was boring as hell and as soon as they tossed Bryan out everyone knew who was winning it. I have no clue why Roman Reigns did not hit the ring and 100 mph and just start dominating people throwing them out left and right like he did in 2014. Instead it felt like he spent most of the match on one knee in the corner. Him winning the Rumble was not the issue it was the fact it was so blatantly obvious and boring that was the issue.

I still have no clue why him and Daniel Bryan were not the last two.

I agree, I'm a Roman fan but for the guy who won the rumble you'd think they'd give him more spots and let him get more eliminations.

While I appreciate those saying Bryan should have won, could you imagine if he would have? Won the WWE title. And then was forced to vacate the WWE title a second time!?

I would have not used Bryan... at all. Would not have had Kane or Big Show in the finals. Would most likely have had Roman vs Bray vs Ambrose vs Ziggler. Show the fans that the match belongs to the younger generation. Give Roman the win without any appearance from The Rock.
