Roman Reigns and Batista in WWE

Roman Reigns had a dominant performance in the Royal Rumble Match. He entered at the 15th spot, and he ultimately racked up 12 eliminations.

For a brief moment, Reigns joined forces with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, and The Shield eliminated The Great Khali from the match. Reigns then eliminated both Rollins and Ambrose.

In the end, Reigns and Batista were the only two Superstars left inside the ring. "The Animal" eliminated "The Big Dog" to win the Royal Rumble Match.

Even though the 2014 Royal Rumble will go down in the history books, the pay-per-view is remembered for another reason. The WWE Universe desperately wanted to see Daniel Bryan win the battle royal. But he lost his match against Bray Wyatt earlier in the show, and fans hijacked the last two hours of the event by chanting Bryan’s name.

As a result, Reigns’ 12 eliminations and Batista’s eventual victory were heavily booed by the audience. On the road to WrestleMania, WWE was forced to put Bryan into the title picture because "The Yes! Movement" was unstoppable.
