Complete WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Results
Honorable Mentions: Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose or Daniel Bryan, Bad News Barrett vs. Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
*Note: WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was in the initial advertisements for the event, but things could change and it hasn't been confirmed that he'll have a match so he is being left off.
1) WWE Divas Championship--Nikki Bella w/ Brie Bella vs. Paige w/ Natalya: With The Bella Twins gaining a big win over Paige and Natalya in a tag team match at the Royal Rumble on Sunday night, the feud is bound to continue as the Bellas battle with the new duo of Paige and Natalya is sure to escalate. Paige could take on Nikki Bella while Brie and Natalya will be in their respective friend's corners.
2) WWE Tag Team Championships--The Usos (c) vs. The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor): It could be too soon for The Ascension to get a title shot, but coming off of the momentum of The Ascension topping The New Age Outlaws at the Rumble, the win could carry them for the next month and into the title picture. Now that The Usos retained against The Miz and Damien Sandow, new challengers should emerge and that could very well be The Ascension.
3) WWE United States Championship--Rusev (c) vs. Ryback: Though Rusev will turn his attentions to John Cena for WrestleMania 31, there still needs to be some closure for his feud with "The Big Guy" and that could happen at this show. Rusev could defeat Ryback as a way to build some huge momentum heading into his rumored contest with Cena at WrestleMania 31.
4) Last Man Standing--John Cena vs. Seth Rollins: With the "Cenation" leader and "Mr. Money in the Bank" coming in on the losing end of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat Match with Brock Lesnar, their feud should continue here into a one-on-one altercation. Cena will be looking to build momentum for his clash with Rusev at WrestleMania 31 while Rollins will continue to try to cement himself as the top heel in the company.
5) Tag Team Match--The Rock and Roman Reigns vs. The Big Show and Kane: Following the ending of the Royal Rumble that saw The Rock aid Reigns from an attack by Kane and The Big Show, it appeared to perfectly set up this tag team scenario for next month. With the fans all over Reigns due to their support of Daniel Bryan, the WWE pairing him with The Rock is a good way to get the heat off. The faces could go over the two titan heels, giving Reigns a lot of momentum heading into the main event of WrestleMania 31.
Anything can happen between now and Feb. 22 when the WWE presents the first ever Fast Lane event live from the FedEx Forum in Memphis.
