Back in 1994, the ending to the Royal Rumble match saw Bret "The Hitman" Hart and Lex Luger getting eliminated at the same time. This controversy resulted in both men being declared the winners, and went on to receive WWE title shots at WrestleMania 10. Getting co-winners after going through a long bout such as this wasn't something the fans had expected.

The same thing happened in 2005, when John Cena and Batista fell off the top rope at the same time. There were many who thought that history would repeat itself, and they would get co-winners again. The idea of not getting a clear winner wasn't something the WWE Universe wanted. Thankfully, Vince McMahon came down to the ring and ordered the officials to restart the match. Eventually, Batista won the free-for-all and fans got a clear winner in the end, as opposed to a half-baked decision with two men being declared winners.
