Kick off – New Age Outlaws defeated The WWE Tag team champions Cody Rhodes to become new champion – Pretty shocking it was. A title change does not occur a lot in a pre show kick off match. But in this match, The New Age Outlaws shocked the world as they defeated the tag team champions to win their sixth tag team title after fourteen long years. It has been a pretty good match. All the performers put on a great performance and it turned out to be great competition.

As for the Daniel Bryan, he is a superb performer, and he just did what he does best. The match turned out to be a tremendous contest. The fans chanted ‘This is Awesome!’ during the match which does not happen so often these days. Till now, this match is the match of Bray Wyatt’s career. This might be the end of this rivalry.
Match 2 – Brock Lesnar defeated Big Show – Expected result along with expected climax, still, it has been a good match. It was great to see when Brock Lesnar nailed the five hundred pounds man with the F-5 finishing maneuver. Same result on the same pay per view event repeated after eleven long years. Lesnar beat down the Big Show with a steel chair after the match. Clearly, he would be going for the WWE World Heavyweight championship next.
Match 3 – WWE World Heavyweight champion Randy Orton defeated John Cena to retain – All the rumors for WrestleMania are coming true one by one. Guess what, The Wyatt family interfered during the match to cost John Cena his title opportunity. Clearly, it is going to be Bray Wyatt vs. John Cena at WrestleMania XXX.

Main event – Dave Batista wins the 30 man royal rumble match. It was not a bad match, just too predictable. Only a very few fans wanted Batista to win. Fans throughout the arena booed thoroughly when Batista last eliminated Roman Reigns to win. It seems funny when fans cheer for a heel wrestler and booed a babyface. So it is going to be Batista vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX according to the rumors and half of it came true. Roman Reigns set a new record of eliminating most men from a Rumble match and that is twelve. Kane cost CM Punk his opportunity to win the Rumble match. Fans seemed really disappointed when they got to know there is no Daniel Bryan in the Rumble match, as a result, poor Rey Mysterio had been booed the crowd. Let’s see where all the storyline lead next.
