5 disappointments with the 2017 Royal Rumble pay per view

Lots of outrage on the internet over John Cena tying Ric Flair’s world title reigns.

#2 – Using Roman Reigns to get the crowd to cheer Randy Orton’s win

Were we tricked into cheering for Randy Orton’s Royal Rumble win?

Typically the winner of the Royal Rumble is someone ready to take the next step, someone who is new to the main event scene. That wasn’t the case this year as 12-time world champion Randy Orton was crowned the winner.

With John Cena winning the WWE World Championship earlier in the evening, as it stands, it sets up a match-up between Randy Orton and John Cena that we have seen many times before.

John Cena still has to escape the Elimination Chamber first though and there are two possible reasons for this decision that are being discussed.

The first is that Vince McMahon is getting tired of people saying how much better Smackdown Live is than Monday Night Raw so he has decided to water down their main event at WrestleMania.

The other opinion is that Bray Wyatt will win the Elimination Chamber in less than two weeks and will face his ally-turned-foe Randy Orton for the title in Orlando.
