Betting sites did not list Roman as a possibility for being in, or winning, the Rumble. You could, however, bet on Conor McGregor being in the Rumble and winning. Roman Reigns was literally more of a surprise entrant than a current UFC Champion.

some guy on the bus posted:"So you see because 2 + 2 = 5, Roman being in the rumble was a surprise." Betting sites considered the possibility of Alberto Del Rio winning the Rumble. They did not consider the possibility of Roman being in it. Roman being in was literally less expected than Alberto Del Rio winning.

Had a bunch of people over for the Rumble and had a lot of fun. I thought it was entertaining for the most part, the end did have me eye rolling when Reigns came out at 30. Was hoping Wyatt would win but even though I like him it just seems like he's never gonna be a serious top tier guy in the company. I didn't watch wrestling when Cena and Orton fought every ppv so the thought of it doesn't really turn me off like it seems to for most people here.

Why are you arguing semantics over a surprise? sur·prise sə(r)ˈprīz/Submit noun 1. an unexpected or astonishing event, fact, or thing. No one expecting Roman, does in fact make it a surprise, hth.

The reason Roman being in the rumble was not an option is because he was in a title match. What if he had won the title? It just breaks logic.

I don't know why it wasn't Joe but nobody should have expected Nakamura, and given Finn had a physical this weekend him not being there shows he's in no way ready to be back to do anything and probably won't be until after Mania Where was R-Truth Where was Kane

Hypothetical: Last night, with the exact same booking, with the sole exception that instead of it being Roman Reigns who comes out at #30 and eliminates Undertaker, Jericho, and Bray, only to eventually get surprise eliminated by Randy to the panicked relief of the crowd, it's Hornswoggle with an assist by Fit Finlay- is this a surprise?

It should have been one random man walking out flipping everyone off the whole time and then he would get in the ring and eliminate himself. Continue flipping everyone off as he walks to the back.

#30 absolutely should have been Samoa Joe and making it Roman absolutely sucked all he energy out of the room and turned the crowd on the match. That being said, anyone saying that his pressence ruined the match or the PPV is foolish. It was one of the best rumbles in recent memory, and one of the best overall PPVs of the last 12 months, period. The ending being botched after the whole thing was red hot sucks, but it is what it is.

R Truth was on the Royal Rumble graphic, why wasn't R Truth #30? He could have rapped his way down the long entryway and then Randy and Roman could've eliminated each other at the same time like Lex Luger and Bret Hart in 94. Then R Truth climbs in and is proclaimed the victor. Fake edit: my phone autocorrected victor to Victor so maybe R Truth joins the Ascension in the build to Mania.

Lid posted:The reason Roman being in the rumble was not an option is because he was in a title match. What if he had won the title? It just breaks logic. Roman has a slot in the Rumble if he loses. If he won his title match, they could have slotted someone else in, since it's not like they're lacking for people who weren't in it.
