WWE Royal Rumble: January 26, 2014 - 5 talking points

5. Batista undeservedly winning the Royal Rumble match isn’t good for business

The WWE creative was too obvious this time and again for the wrong reasons. They have created a huge blunder by making Batista win the Royal Rumble match. It actually hurt to see that WWE chose Batista ahead of the hardworking CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns, he didn’t wrestle for nearly 4 years but still got this undeserved preference from the Creative. More depressing than Batista’s win was watching Daniel Bryan’s absence in the match, it was the biggest drawback of the match. The night started so well but ended on such a poor note. Now we will have to see an angle between Batista, Orton and Triple H for every week until WrestleMania. The reality is that Triple H’s ‘evolution’ friends are going to headline WrestleMania, and nobody except for Triple H likes this. Now only a good feud between Batista and Orton can save WWE’s grace.
