WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Botches, slip ups, and outrageous moments

The PPV gave fans a lot to be happy about

#4 Number 30

It might be good to go ahead and get this booking botch out of the way. I understand the point in using Roman’s rocky relationship with the audience as a way to get the crowd more sympathetic to Randy Orton in the final moments of the Rumble, but this soured many people on the entire show.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

It doesn’t take long to figure out why the crowd was so upset about Roman entering at #30. There were strong rumours that Kurt Angle might be in the Rumble. There were also hopes that somebody like Samoa Joe or Shinsuke Nakamura might make their debut in the 30-man contest.

Perhaps it was due to a lack of surprises that fans were so disappointed with Roman when he made his way to the ring but WWE should’ve anticipated this a little better.
