If you waited months and weeks and days and hours, all cumulatively, for the 30-man Battle Royal, and if you’re a hardcore fan, you have to be a bit jaded at what just happened. Was Rock coming and in a way endorsing Reigns a damage control moment? One has to know that a hardcore audience like Philadelphia will hate a Reigns victory. It might have been a consolation for another year where another predictable superstar won.But there were still moments that one could hope more from. Here are five promising developments from the Royal Rumble.

#5 Nobody compares to Lesnar

Lesnar wasn’t the beast he was at Summerslam but he was still close. He was part of the best match of the PPV. How many part-timers can say that?

Cena was booed. Rollins was cheered and booed. Lesnar was just plain cheered. They came here to see the beast roar and they got plenty of it. He went through the announcer’s table, took multiple briefcase shots, multiple AAs, went through the stairs and the barricade, apparently, most probably fictionally, broke a rib and yet came out looking stronger than ever. Now defying such logic is met with jeers and it’s nothing new for the hardcore audience but when it’s Brock lesnar doing it, you just go with it.

Nobody compares to that. No matter how much they try to sell Reigns, they might even have Reigns beat the beast, but he won’t compare to The Beast.

#4 Rollins on a roll

Initially, Rollins playing the heel to aplomb, running away from Lesnar, running away from Cena, into the arms of his very concerned security. The ending of the match saw him being consoled by J and J.

But the match was what it was because of Rollins’ involvement and his high flying performance. Rollins made two very impressive, awe striking leaps. One onto Lesnar through the announcer’s table and one on Cena. But the one on cena wasn’t just a simple leap, it seemed like he was going for a textbook moonsault but no, it was a corkscrew 450 splash. Yeah, that’s a mouthful and Rollins took on the difficult task of executing it.

He took the pinfall eventually and the crowd was happy Lesnar won but they cheered for Rollins as he cleared the ring.

And he still has his briefcase.

#3 The Bellas Shine

The women’s tag team match may be perceived as a bathroom break for the show that would follow and that was the Championship bout between Cena, Lesnar and Rollins. But it was more than that. yes, the team of Paige and natalya lost but the bellas won in convincing fashion. They worked really well, as they have and can for the past year. If only these women are given more time, it’ll be something to be not percieved as a bathroom break.

The heels prevailed and WWE may finally have succeeded in their Trish Stratus Project.

The match did nothing to take away paige’s momentum.She didn’t even wrestle much in the match, creating even more anticipation from the crowd for her involvement.

#2 Mizdow

He wasn’t just the Stunt Double here. He actually had more things to do. Just like paige, he didn’t get to wrestle much. he actually didn’t even receive a tag. But he was coming into his own as the crowd cheered for him throughout the night. He was one of the most over superstars in the arena.

The Royal Rumble match saw him get eliminated but not before he took advantage of the attack on Miz and entered the Rumble. That left Miz in shock and anger. Then Mizdow did not become just a stunt double, he mocked Miz rantimg on the floor. It was hilarious and for once the seeds are planted for Mizdow to become the star.

#1 Cena vs Rusev

If you tuned out after reigns Rumble victory, you’re not to blame.

There was a moment backstage where Cena was asked about his loss and then we see Rusev being unsettled with his elimination. Then, there it was, a face off between the face of the WWE and the Bulgarian Brute.

The speculations of cena facing Rusev at Wrestlemania, seems to have come true. The first sign has been displayed.Waiting for more to come.
