A Rumble Through Time: The Royal Rumble Rebook

[TFC]

2007

IRL Winner
The Undertaker

Outcome
Taker beats Batista(c) for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 23.

My Opinion
Taker winning his rumble in 07 was a bit late for me but it is also the first ppv event I watched.

What I Would have Done
I would give the win to the Raaaaaaaaated R Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuperstar Edge.

Revised Outcome
Edge beats John Cena(c) at the show of shows for the WWE Championship​

2008

IRL Winner
Jooooooooooooooooooohn Ceeeeeeeeena

Outcome
Cena uses the opportunity at No Way Out and fails, only to get a triple threat match at WM 24?????????

My Opinion
Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhy?

What I Would have Done
Keep it simple Cena wins at RR, Triple H is added to the Mania match which equals triple threat.

Revised Outcome
Orton still retains the title by pinning HHH at Mania 24.​

2009

IRL Winner
Randy Orton

Outcome
Orton fails to capture the WWE Championship at WM XXV

My Opinion
Nothing wrong with it, as they were building Orton up at this point.


What I Would have Done
I am going with a dark horse option and giving the win to Y2J.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
Chris Jericho who goes onto Mania XXV and beats Triple H(c) for the gold

​

2010

IRL Winner
Edge

Outcome
Edge challenges Y2J at WrestleMania for the World Heavyweight Championship and fails in the attempt.

My Opinion
Nothing wrong with the storyline.


What I Would have Done
I am going to hold off on Edge winning a second Rumble as he has already won the 07 one.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
I would go with Cm Punk and have him face Batista for the WHC at Mania with him getting the win.

2011

IRL Winner
Alberto Del Rio

Outcome
ADR challenges the Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated R Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuperstar Edge for the WHC at WrestleMania 27.

My Opinion
I never liked that they added another ten entrants into the match, thirty is more than enough imo. Also I just never felt one way or the other about ADR he just comes across as bland.


What I Would have Done
I would have given the win to Santino Marella because I think that would be hilarious.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
Santino Marella versus Daniel Bryan(c) for the WHC at WrestleMania where the latter just destroys the former. ​

 

[TFC]

2012

IRL Winner
Sheamus

Outcome
18 seconds.................18 seconds....................Are You Kidding Me.

My Opinion
I understand that Sheamus was the company's choice, WWE Universe wanted Y2J though.


What I Would have Done
I would have gone a different direction.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
Wade Barrett and he faces Daniel Bryan(c) at WrestleMania XXVII and becomes the first british born World Heavyweight Champion​

 

[TFC]

2013

IRL Winner
John Cena

Outcome
The Leader of the C-Nation beats the Great One for the gold at WrestleMania 29 in Twice in a Lifetime.

My Opinion
If you were always going to do Cena V Rock II................Why market it as Once ina Lifetime.

What I Would have Done
I would have gone a different direction.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
Rey Mysterio and Punk(c) beats Rock at the Rumble, and drops the title to Mysterio at WM ​

 

[TFC]

2014

IRL Winner
Batista

Outcome
Fails to capture the WWE Championship in a triple threat match with Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton.

My Opinion
No disrespect to Batista but he wasn't the right choice.


What I Would have Done
I would have gone a different direction.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
Daniel Bryan wins the 2014 RR match and then beats Batista, Randy Orton and Triple H in a fatal four way at Mania,​

 

[TFC]

2015

IRL Winner
Roman Reigns

Outcome
Seth Rollins cashed in the MITB Briefcase in a match between Reigns and Lesnar and became the new WWE WH Champion.

My Opinion
I wasn't a fan of Reigns being shoved down our throats at the time, but I get why they did it and the pay off was awesome.


What I Would have Done
Keep it the Same.

My Choice & Revised Outcome
Same as IRL​
