I know. My main man Reigns should have won.
I think its more about DB not showing up than Batista winning. Ultimately though he just sounds like the rest of the DB marks.

DB will come out on Raw tomorrow as over as ever, more over from having not appeared in the RR match if anything IMO. The same way his popularity spiked the most from WWe screwing him over at Mania against Sheamus, WWE 'screwing him' tonight with no RR match appearance will get even more fan support on DB's side.

I share his sentiments.

No Daniel Bryan in the Rumble, barely a Brock/Show match at all, Cena/Orton got shit all over (as expected) despite being billed as "the biggest rematch in WWE history", etc. Such an average Rumble event.

True that. Honestly, it was pretty pathetic that El Torito got a spot.

Also, tweets from Stone Cold and Rock.

- Both Steve Austin and The Rock commented on Roman Reigns after tonight's WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Here's what they wrote:

Austin: "Roman Reigns #MVP of #WWE #RoyalRumble. Helluva babyface run coming for this kid down the road."

Rock: "Proud of my cousin @WWERomanReigns dominant ring performance tonight. Stay humble & hungry fam. #FutureWWEChamp #RoyalRumble"

Let's just agree it was both because of Reigns and DB. I totally agree with Foley. Absolutely disgusting.

Reigns? How could anyone be upset over what happened with Reigns tonight? Sure I would have rather he gone over Batista, but the fuse was essentially lit on this dude's rocket ship push tonight. Next stop, main event fools.

You gotta think about what Foley said. It was about WWE's feelings towards the fans. You heard the booes when Batista won. Hopefully, Reigns will be part of the main event at WM (most likely through the EC).

About time a legend stood up about this.

Go Mick!

Well, the fans are simply dumbasses if they aren't pleased with what they got from Reigns tonight. He stole the show

Of course he did. Absolutely amazing performance.
So what's the problem on that front? I can see being pissed that DB didn't show up, which resulted in the crowd turning on the RR match, but outside of that the PPV was good and people are really off base with their criticism. Had DB been a RR match participant the decision to give Batista the Rumble wouldn't look so bad I don't think.

Its like people knew Batista was probably going to win, but somehow the reality of it was much worse than the idea. I "blame" the fans, not that I care that they buried Batista, but if they weren't so butt hurt about DB looking to wreak havoc on the situation people probably wouldn't be *quite* so cold on the situation. just a theory.

I posted this in the rate R.R. Thread. Pretty sure it's a reference to DB. He said in previous tweets that if DB didn't win he would throw a remote through his television. Then he said, " I can't believe he isn't even in the match, that just sucks"
