WWE Approved Rumble Spot

Rusev enters at #6, eliminates anyone in the ring, plows through the next two, countdown, Angle’s music hits…it’s the Patriot. Cole & Co. hype his feuds with Bret Hart and Vader.

A little while later, Rusev either clears the ring or they’re all resting, countdown, Angle’s music hits…it’s Shelton Benjamin. Cole says we’ve been seeing videos about his return for weeks!

Now we’re at the end of the Rumble, Rusev’s still in there with two others, Cole can’t contain himself anymore and talks about rumors they’ve been hearing about a national hero returning in the #30 spot, countdown, Angle’s music hits…it’s Rey Mysterio, who wins it all. He then unmasks as Roman Reigns and will face himself at Wrestlemania for the Universal Title.

Genius, no?

​If you had Daniel Bryan making his return and then getting eliminated by Rusev 30 seconds into the match, I’d have forwarded your idea to WWE Corporate and probably guaranteed you a job in Creative by tomorrow.​
