The outspoken Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla denounced the WWE Universe as a bunch of “idiots” and demanded to be granted first crack at the WWE World Heavyweight Title because he defeated "internet darling" AJ Styles the night before. That was all the opening that Chris Jericho needed. After declaring that he is “not a bad guy” or “a good guy,” but, rather, “ the guy,” Roman Reigns fearlessly welcomed all challengers. The Roman Empire has begun, and the newly crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion wasted no time showing exactly what type of champion he plans to be. ![]() The new WWE World Heavyweight Champion return stands toe-to-toe with four dangerous would-be challengers. Bray Wyatt and his juggernaut henchmen let loose and viciously thrashed the new-look League in an attack punctuated by Wyatt hitting Sheamus with Sister Abigail. Though the sudden and volatile ejection of Barrett seemed to bolster the spirits of the other League members, things took a dark and nasty turn moments later, as the American Airlines Center went dark, indicating the arrival of The Wyatt Family. Once Barrett entered the contest, Big E tossed him around like a ragdoll, too, dropping the British brawler with three belly-to-belly suplexes before he and Kofi connected with the Midnight Hour to retain the titles.įollowing the disappointing outcome, a visibly frustrated Sheamus bemoaned the setback and blamed The League’s woes on an unnamed “weak link” Before Barrett knew what was happening, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio grabbed him by the arms, allowing The Celtic Warrior to unload a gnarly Brogue Kick to the 2015 King of the Ring. The New Day threw caution to the wind at to outset, with Big E launching Kofi Kingston high overhead, over the ropes and onto Sheamus on the floor. Undeterred by their loss the night before - or, for that matter, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s Stunner to Xavier Woods - The New Day stayed positive, chalked up their optimism to a “Lion King”-inspired “Booty-O of life,” and looked confident heading into action against Barrett & Sheamus. Thanks to King Barrett’s illegal interference, The League of Nations bested The New Day at WrestleMania, paving the way to a title opportunity against the Tag Team Champions. In the mist of WWE Tag Title Match action, the League of Nations kicks King Barrett to the curb before being ambushed by The Wyatts. McMahon exited, Shane looked stunned, if thrilled, while the raucous post-’Mania crowd let their approval be heard. Looking to prove his point that Shane is not fit to run Raw, the WWE Chairman agreed to let his son steer WWE’s flagship program for the night! As Mr. Shane then bid the WWE Universe farewell and thanked them for their support. Watch WrestleMania on the award-winning WWE Networkīruised and battered following his Hell in a Cell Match against The Undertaker, Shane-O-Mac entered the arena, to the delight of the WWE Universe, and respectfully shook his father’s hand, displaying grace despite the pivotal loss. Softening the blow, somewhat, was the envelope that The Chairman then flashed, which contained the mysterious contents of the lockbox that Shane McMahon held over his father’s head leading into WrestleMania. McMahon opened Raw by acknowledging Triple H’s WWE World Heavyweight Title loss. All of these things are good and made this not a total waste of time.DALLAS - Twenty-four hours removed from the largest WrestleMania in history - a record-shattering event that drew a 101,763 passionate WWE fans to AT&T Stadium - Mr. Roderick Strong and Rey Mysterio got to interact. The Great Khali took a fucking brutal bump to the floor. ![]() Titus O’Neil tripped during his entrance and slid into the ring, and it was impossible to tell if it was on purpose or not. Bobby Lashley completely bombed and fucked up a ton of things. There were some good points though like Daniel Bryan working the entire match and actually doing shit throughout instead of one of the typical “marathon performances” that get put over every year. ![]() However, the total lack of stakes in this one definitely sucked something out of it. Kind of just doing it for the sake of doing it is ehh.Īnyway, this match was super watchable because it’s a Rumble and WWE generally knows how to lay him out. A big part of the magic of the Royal Rumble is that it’s the kickoff point to the ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA~! blah blah blah.
