#5 Triple H - 2016
WWE COO Triple H returned from a near career ending injury in 2001 to win the 2002 Royal Rumble match, and it was well deserved and storyline wise, made complete sense. Now fast forward 14 years later, and The Game has won the Royal Rumble once more, and his 14th WWE Heavyweight Championship too.
The part-time wrestler and full-time executive should not have won because he was only wrestling part-time and did most of his work behind the scenes. The big main reason why Triple H won the match and WWE Championship was to get Roman Reigns over, which didn't work.
As much of a talented performer and main event worth performer that Reigns is, his push to the top was just too forced and every part of his feud with The Authority was incredibly predictable.
Triple H felt that he was that big of a heel, that fans would cheer for Roman but once again, WWE was wrong on this one. Whether Roman was in the main event or not, the Royal Rumble victory should have been saved for someone else, maybe another top rising star at the time such as Dean Ambrose.
