Much like it has done in the past, the Royal Rumble pay-per-view brought the WWE Universe a night of surprises.

This year’s spectacular was headlined by The Rock ending CM Punk’s staggering 434-day title reign and taking home the WWE championship for the first time in a decade. The victory on Sunday, Jan. 27 was foreshadowed by his passionate and inspiring pre-match comments. It was a nice moment to see Miami’s son celebrate with his mother, Ata.

The match wasn’t without controversy with The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) striking in the darkness and nearly costing The Rock the title. The Spanish announce table got some revenge during the battle. Guess it was tired of being used and abused in matches. I’m sure there were some fans who were thinking The Undertaker was reading to make his grand entrance when the lights turned off.

Wrestling. Yeah, it's still a Thing. WWE Royal Rumble

Just when we think we’re getting a “Russo” WCW finish, Vince McMahon appears and follows through on the promise of stripping Punk of the title if The Shield interfered. Rock didn’t want a match with so much build to end like that and asked for it to be restarted, leading to his historic win.

I think the main event did a good job in establishing The Shield as the group made an impact and proved to be a dangerous faction in WWE. I also don’t mind The Rock as WWE champion, as it will give great exposure to the company when he attends his movie press junkets. It’s good for business.

A rematch is also good for business, as the two worked well together, and I’m sure fans wouldn’t mind seeing another encounter with a clear-cut winner.

One thing I do have a problem with is John Cena winning the Royal Rumble. I like the hard-working face of WWE, but having him win the battle royal is predictable. It leaves the taste of stale Fruity Pebbles in the mouths of the WWE Universe. It’s an ending we’ve seen before.

This would have been the perfect time to spotlight how unpredictable the Royal Rumble is by allowing someone like Ryback or even Dolph Ziggler to win. The “Show Off” has been on the cusp of greatness for a while, and the Rumble would have been the perfect vehicle to send him over-the-top. Look what the Royal Rumble did for Shawn Michaels.

As it stands, there is a good chance of seeing Cena and Rock again, but the WWE Elimination Chamber PPV could change that.

It wouldn’t be a problem to me had WWE not advertised The Rock and John Cena at WrestleMania 28 “Once in a Lifetime.”

At this point, I would rather see a triple threat of some sort. Maybe Punk, Cena and Rock? I’m not a fan of three-way WWE title matches at WrestleMania, but then the company wouldn’t be accused of false advertising.
