WWE Royal Rumble PPV News & Notes 1/25

-- Roman Reigns won the 2015 Royal Rumble match. Brock Lesnar won the WWE World Title match over John Cena and Seth Rollins, which currently sets up Lesnar vs. Reigns for the WWE World Title at WrestleMania 31.

The wild cards are whether WWE brings up Daniel Bryan never losing the WWE Title when he was injured in 2014 and the "Fast Lane" PPV in February.

-- The Rock did not appear in the Rumble match. Instead, he helped Reigns fend off Big Show & Kane in the Rumble match, which allowed Reigns to eliminate Rusev for the Rumble win.

After Reigns won, Rock tried to endorse Reigns, but the crowd continued to boo Reigns's victory.

-- Sting was referenced in a backstage promo between Paul Heyman and Triple H & Stephanie McMahon. Heyman offered a teaser that he has a solution, Brock Lesnar, to take out Sting.

-- Bubba Ray Dudley (Bully Ray in TNA) returned to WWE as the third entrant in the Rumble match. Other surprise entries were Diamond Dallas Page and The Boogeyman.

Also of note during the Rumble match, Bray Wyatt ripped off several eliminations and lasted nearly 50 minutes. Daniel Bryan was eliminated during the first-half of the match, setting up "Daniel Bryan" chants from the crowd for the remainder of the Rumble until fan favorites like Dean Ambrose (#25) and Dolph Ziggler (#30) entered the Rumble.

Zack Ryder returned from injury as a mid-Rumble entry.

-- Randy Orton did not return to TV in the title match or Rumble.

-- The Usos retained the WWE Tag Titles over The Miz & Damien Sandow in the only other title match on the show.

-- After the PPV concluded, WWE set up an issue between John Cena and Rusev on the post-PPV Network show.
