Twitter Reaction: WWE Royal Rumble 2017 1

Over 65000-plus crowd witnessed history, last night as perhaps the biggest Royal Rumble ever in the history of WWE was hosted at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It was a swerve to see none other than Randy Orton winning the Royal Rumble instead of the big fours that were the initial favorites to win the match.
Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and Braun Strowman were the initial favorites to win the contest. However, Randy Orton was one of the favorites as per betting odds in the latest WWE grapevine and he did the unthinkable, once again.

It was odd to see Roman Reigns getting into the Rumble match after featuring in the Universal championship match. The crowd broke out into loud boos after it happened but then who could have eliminated Undertaker rather than the Big Dog?
Plus, Charlotte continued her undefeated PPV streak at last night’s Royal Rumble. This will perhaps set up another edition of their bout at Wrestlemania.
John Cena pulled out all the stops to win the 16th world championship and tie the record of the legendary Ric Flair. The social media went all over with this record victory. Even Flair himself congratulated the man after he earned the accolade. Here’re the twitter reactions from last night:
