10 Biggest WWE Royal Rumble Controversies

[@jacksonloram7887]

When Adam mentioned Nia Jax in the 2019 men's Rumble I thought he was going to talk about how Jax legitimately injured R Truth like the unsafe worker she was.

[@thememeguy2195]

Fiend vs Rollins would probably be number 1 for a Hell in a Cell version.

[@TheFriendlyWeirdo]

That Royal Rumble 2005 botch was so perfect, that I wouldn’t be surprised if some people still believed this was planned.

[@awkc63]

I still think the Cena/Batista elimination was done on purpose. I predicted it would happen that way, I figured it would go that EXACTLY way. It made the most sense, both guys were the top 2, one would go on to fight for the WHC and the other for the WWE at Mania. It happened that way, and I predicted it would, so, I guess that's why I still believe it was supposed to happen that way. It just made most logical sense. 🤷‍♂️

I imagine the quads tearing was probably unplanned if that finish was planned.

Weren't the crowd cheering for Roman in the 2014 Rumble as a faint glimmer of hope that he would be the one to eliminate Batista? I feel like if they had pulled the trigger on Roman at that moment, and then have DB win in '15, things would be a looooooot different and, dare I say, better for the company

[@AK47Gang100]

Nah even if he didn’t win the rumble it was only right for Bryan to win at Mania. The Shield was still together back then also

[@morgantaylor84]

People often forget that Roman was actually sort of liked in 2014. The fans would've, if not Bryan, preferred him over Batista that's for sure.

[@yashshah1414]

the rock and big show one may have been a controversy, but wwe did really well to turn it into a storyline and had the big show feud with the rock

[@NobleKorhedron]

Agreed. They took a bad elimination situation, and managed to salvage it. Sure, the Rock did touch first, but no-one noticed it; someone should have. The Rock VS Big Show, with The Rock's 'Mania spot on the line, was a pretty fair way to deal with it.

[@VIRAX200394]

Yeah and they fkd up everything at WM2000

[@My19812011]

@@NobleKorhedron the ref on that side should definitely have noticed seeing as he was standing right in front of both men as they went over the top rope which can clearly be seen in any photo of it

@@VIRAX200394 A fatal 4-way with a McMahon in every corner! Just what everyone wants right? More McMahons! Plus they brought Mick Foley out of retirement after like a month to put him in the match. I understand they did it because Foley wanted to be in the main event of Wrestlemania, but that whole situation of "He's retired. Let's celebrate him" to "He's coming back!" after a few weeks was just weird.

[@adriangonzalez5021]

It's still crazy to see all the unprotected headshots Foley took that night. To think how they just use to ignore this stuff and how lucky Mick is to not be in worse shape all these years later.

[@scottfitzgerald5309]

To be fair I think the hogan 1992 ending was pre written and nothing to do with hogan. It was weird though as it was a heel move from WWF's top baby face

[@2rare2die100]

I don’t think ‘pre written’ and ‘nothing to do with Hogan’ are mutually exclusive though necessarily. He was well known for injecting himself into angles and taking some of the spotlight for himself in other peoples victories back then 😕

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

@@2rare2die100 Agreed. I have a hard time thinking Hogan being booked to eliminate the guy who eliminated him wasn't Hogan's idea to protect himself. He must have been appalled when he heard the pop his elimination get from the crowd.

[@joeford5181]

2014. It's okay to pick Batista as a winner but as a heel while you let Daniel Bryan win every challenge then make it a triple threat

To be full honest, if they knew Cena and Batista were going to be challenging their respective world titles; when why not leace the results as bith of them being the winner then they face off at the next ppv to see who gets their shot in the main event

[@Willowposting]

The Nia Jax stuff is so stupid. She may not be the best of the womens division, but she is still insanely talented, and most definitely strong enough to go toe to toe with stars in the mens division. Slicing stuff up into genders is so dumb. If someone is strong enough to fight, let them fight. It's one thing if it's the UFC, with very strict weight classes and actual fighting, but in pro-wrestling there should be no reasoning for it.

[@GUnit40W]

You are right, it is stupid. She is insanely talented at injuring people (many people have found that out including R-Truth in this rumble run in), slow, not technical and isn't strong enough because she can barely do moves with women safely let alone with guys who are 50-100lbs heavier at the very least. There are gendered divisions for a reason, most people still want matches to look somewhat believable. That is the reasoning for gender divisions in pro wrestling, the more realistic the better.

[@optimus2008]

The moment you realised Hogan can ruin even perhaps the best Royal Rumble.. say what you want to, I hate Hogan. Right place at the right time. If he was wrestling now, he would've been given more boos than Elias got in Seattle.. if they understood what on Earth he was saying. Or even Warrior.
