The Rock came back to help Roman Reigns win the Rumble, to a negative reaction
Contrary to 2014, Daniel Bryan participated in the 2015 Royal Rumble match and the fans were behind him like they had been a year ago during the Yes Movement. When Bray Wyatt eliminated Bryan, the crowd went into a stunned silence. Suddenly, the fans began booing the contest and the competitors in it, in a deja vu from the previous year's Rumble.
The Big Show and Kane eliminating rising stars like Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose didn't help matters much. In the end, The Rock returned to help Roman Reigns fend off the villains and win the match. In a bizarre visual, The Rock raised Reigns' hand as the crowd booed The Big Dog out of the building.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
