Today's News

Royal Rumble report:

The New Age Outlaws became the new Tag Team Champions in the pre show match, beating The Rhodes Brothers. This is a WWE record, a 14 year gap in between their last and current reigns, is the longest in the promotions history.

Personally, It was joyous to hear ''Tag Team Champions Of The World''!!! again 

Bray Wyatt won the opener beating Daniel Bryan, in what was probably the match of the night, and the start of a busy night for the Wyatt's.

Brock Lesnar vs Big Show was a non event, Lesnar attacked Big Show with chairs before the match could start, when the bell did ring, the match only lasted a couple of minutes before Brock hit the F5 to get the win. He then continued assaulting Show with chairs for another 10 minutes.

Randy Orton retained the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, beating John Cena with help from The Wyatt's. They actually came out to get Orton, who had trashed them in a pre match promo, but Cena, thinking they were after him threw the first punch then turned into an RKO. Orton beat a quick retreat, leaving The Wyatt's to pick the bones of a beaten Cena. The only thing worse than this match was Cena's acting as he left the arena, pretending to be dazed and confused.

Then the Royal Rumble match...

1 - CM Punk (Made it to the end before Kane returned and pulled him out)

Notes, Roman Reigns set the record of most eliminations in a single match, with 12, beating Kane's 11 from 2001, although, there is some dispute, as he had help eliminating Khali.

El Torito became the smallest man to ever enter a Royal Rumble match, beating Hornswoggle's record.

Some advertised stars were pulled on the night, including Darren Young, Titus O'Neill, Wade Barrett, and Xavier Woods.

And other planned / teased returns for Rob Van Dam, Evan Bourne, Jake The Snake, Razor Ramon, Adam Bomb, 2 Cold Scorpio and Jimmy Wang Yang did not come to fruition, Bourne apologised on Twitter, but said he will be back soon.

Fans were furious with the exclusion from the Royal Rumble match of Daniel Bryan, the crowd booed loudly after the last entrant emerged, and chanted for him to enter for the remainder of the bout, and after the show went off the air, causing great and legit offense to the winner Batista, who was roundly booed as he celebrated and then left the ring. He was seen to argue with fans as he left, and then before going to the back, he started to do the ''Yes'' chant, but with his middle fingers turned to the audience. WWE officials were furious with this, and he is in trouble backstage over it.

Former wrestlers too, were left angry by the lack of Daniel Bryan in the Rumble, most notably Mick Foley, who had promised to put a brick through his TV screen if Daniel Bryan did not win the Rumble, when he found he was not even in it, he launched a scathing attack on the promotion...

"Wait...WWEDanielBryan isn't even IN the RoyalRumble? That just kind of sucks. Does @WWE actually hate their own audience? I've never been so disgusted with a PPV."

He furthered his argument, later, with a thinly veiled dig at having Batista win...

"As I mentioned on Twitter, I've never felt so disgusted at the conclusion of a WWE (or any) PPV. Like many of you out there, I just don't get it. This Daniel Bryan thing is a phenomenon. You get it. I get it. The fans in Pittsburgh (yes, I was thinking of writing 'RIGHT TH...but I'm just not in a cheap pop mood) got it. But tonight, for the first time, I had to admit to myself that the powers that be are just not going to get it. And that makes me sad. I'm just honestly sad, just flat out f-cking sad (yes, I dropped an F-bomb there to emphasize how F'ing sad I am for the guys who bust their butts night in and night out - Ziggler, Punk, Bryan, etc - with no hope of getting their shot at this year's Mania. You know who else I'm sad for? Me. In my two years as an official WWE Ambassador, I never once had to lie about my enthusiasm for the company or the product. Now, although I am no longer officially an Ambassador for WWE (believe it or not, my only official role in WWE is as GM for Saturday Morning Slam, a contract that ends in one month) I was till looking forward to being part of the biggest event of the year. I'll probably end up going anyway. But I'm about 1/6th as excited about it as I was just a few hours ago. I wanted so badly to hear 75,000 WWE fans chanting 'YES' - and seeing fans walk away absolutely ecstatic about the outcome of a PPV for the first time in a while...a long while. But when given the chance to make it happen (unless they've got something MAJOR up their sleeve) WWE's answer tonight was a resounding 'NO, NO, NO'."

That is tame compared to his Son Dewey's rant, however (To follow)...

Other stars including The Hurricane, Lance Storm and Armando Estrada also criticised the company.

Big Show may have been injured going into his match vs Lesnar, he hurt his hand in a match on a live show the night before vs Kane, and the match had to be stopped early.

X-Pac withdrew from an indy show to go to the Royal Rumble, but did not take a spot in the match.

AJ Lee vs Naomi and another unconfirmed match did not get added to the PPV.

WWE were furious with the crowd, for hijacking the show.

Curtis Axel is also angry about being omitted from the match.

After their victories, Batista, Billy Gunn and The Road Dogg have all been moved from the Alumni page to the active roster on .Com.

Sting:

Reports were flying around last night that Sting had signed his WWE deal, that is at this time unconfirmed. The reports came from a fan blogging site, and did not cite any reputable source.

Total Diva's:

Summer Rae will join season 2 of Total Diva's, probably in place of Jo Jo Offerman.

TNA signings:

Santana Garrett and Shanna have reportedly been signed by TNA.

Dewey canes Hunter:

Mick Foley's Son Dewey was irate with the Royal Rumble, and used his anger as a stick to beat Triple H. Telling him he would be nothing, if not for his Father...

"Sorry people who know much about wrestling, but this company right now is in some serious s--t. This is really bad for their company because one or two individuals truly believe that their opinions reign much higher over the millions and millions of people who watch their show religiously on a weekly basis. It's such a horrible feeling obviously because it hits close to home. You have these guys who work their asses off 320+ days a year, who barely see their loved ones, and they get completely disrespected and disregarded because Triple f--king H thinks they're 'too small' or not star material. My dad made your ass, and people told my dad all his life that he would amount to nothing. So Triple H should know from experience that the people that work their asses off and that are told that they are worthless, are the ones that make the company the best it can be. Without my dad, Triple H is just a mid-carder. My dad went out of his way to make sure that he turned Triple H into the intimidating, scary, cerebral assassin, son of a b---h that he has become. So it's about time that people who deserve to be the best are given the opportunity to show it. WWE is a f--king dictatorship and it is just truly a shame."

Raw tease:

* Will RAW bring the first face-off between Batista and Randy Orton?

* Will Sheamus seize the moment like only he can?

* Can The Shield keep from mauling one another before WrestleMania?

* Is another team up for taking out The New Age Outlaws before WrestleMania?

* What Bray Wyatt does next will be must-see

Also expect WWE to make more of Daniel Bryan's recent concussion, to try to dissolve some of the anger from fans.

The promotion also say they have big plans for him this year.

WWE block all competition:

WWE have taken out a no compete contract with the city of Santa Clara for the entire WrestleMania 31 weekend, meaning no other shows, or fan conventions from any other promotion can happen any where in the city whilst WWE are in town.
