#1 Royal Rumble 2015: Roman Reigns wins the Rumble
After performing incredibly well in the 2014 Royal Rumble match by eliminating a record 12 people, Roman Reigns was heavily pushed as a singles wrestler and was inserted into world title contention in June that year. It was clear that he was being groomed to take over from John Cena as the face of the WWE. He was poised to have an even bigger impact in 2015 by winning the Royal Rumble match.
