The 2016 WWE Royal Rumble stands out from the rest because of a slight change in its stipulation. The WWE Championship was on the line in the match as a disadvantage for Roman Reigns who was forced to enter at No.1 by The Authority. Reigns had a strong showing but to the surprise of many Triple H ended up winning the Rumble and the WWE Championship.

So why is it so low on the list? Well, for starters, there was a much better option for WWE in Dean Ambrose. Ambrose would have been the right winner for the match because he was the underdog and was yet to win a WWE Championship at that time.

Furthermore, Triple H just prolonged his feud with Roman Reigns that should have been wrapped up a long time back. The Cerebral Assassin was able to get another WrestleMania Main Event under his belt. However, the fans were not happy with this.

Nonetheless, it was a pleasant surprise for many fans to see Triple H win instead of Roman Reigns.
