The Royal Rumble 2015 match had the likes of Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, and Dolph Ziggler, just to name a few, as those superstars were getting very big reactions during the match. However, the match itself fell very short of expectations due to Roman Reigns' predictable win.

It was a moment that angered the WWE Universe due to the fact that they did not want Reigns to win the Rumble. When Daniel Bryan got eliminated by Bray Wyatt after lasting 10 minutes and 36 seconds, that was the moment where the fans in Pittsburgh gave up on the entire match. It was clear that their choice to win the match was Bryan himself.

The dominance of Big Show and Kane was a very disappointing decision as well. Both men were members of The Authority, and they were used to eliminate plenty of superstars that the fans wanted to win.

They also came in the final four along with Reigns, in a decision that was made to get the fans to cheer Reigns, but it clearly didn't work as Reigns eliminated the both of them to loud boos.

When Rusev, who was an Anti-American character and the US Champion at the time, was playing possum during the match, he came back to enter the ring, and the fans were cheering him on to headline Wrestlemania 31. But it was another moment that fell short as Reigns eliminated The Bulgarian Brute with ease.

Despite the fact that The Rock also came out to endorse his cousin after the match, it should've been a moment for the passing of the torch. But instead, it was simply a moment to forget as there was nothing to stop the fans from booing Reigns, with The Rock also getting booed. This victory had led to Reigns facing Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania.
