Welcome to PWInsider.com’s live, ongoing coverage of the 2014 Royal Rumble PPV from Pittsburgh, PA at the CONSOL Center!

They went to a backstage vignette where wrestlers were picking their numbers. Alberto Del Rio was really happy with his pick and said he would take everyone out. Kofi Kingston said his “could be better.” R-Truth wasn’t happy at all with his. The Real Americans argued over who would go first. Of the two, Jack Swagger was happier with his pick.

VINCE MCMAHON IS DEAF, THE FANS CALL FOR BRYAN AT NUMBER 19, THE RUMBLE GETS BIG SEXY, THE OTHER NUMBER ONE GUY IN THE RUMBLE AND THE FIRST ONE OUT, SINCE VINCE MCMAHON DOESN’T SEEM TO HEAR THEM, THE WWE UNIVERSE MAKES THEIR FEELINGS KNOWN DURING THE WWE TITLE MATCH - FULL ROYAL RUMBLE BLOG

By Dave Scherer on 2014-01-26 19:56:26

In the back Vickie was with some Rumble guys. No one was telling what they got. Kofi didn’t like his. R Truth hated his, he must be two. Alberto liked his. Swagger liked Cesaro’s better than his. Khali didn’t like his. It must be bad because Sandow said maybe next year. Then Sandow drew and his was bad too.

RUMBLE TIME! Punk is out first. The guy who got the other number one is…..Representing The SHIELD, Seth Rollins!

Punk was going for GTS as time ran down but didn’t get it. Damien Sandow is third. Now we know why Khali was laughing. They worked over Punk. Number four was Cody Rhodes, who came in and evened the odds by going right after Sandow. … And the first one eliminated, Sandow by Punk!

Number five was KANE, with dress pants and no mask. He went right after Punk. Do you get the theme here? You know who is working HHH at Mania right? Anyway, before the next guy came out, as Kane was going for a chokeslam Punk dumped him out. At number six, making his debut, Alexander Rusev. He is huge.

Rusev came in and made a big impression. He threw a few over the top but they didn’t hit the floor. He did a fallaway slam on Punk. He went to toss Cody when Rollins jumped on his back. At number 7 is Jack Swagger. He ran to the ring. He faced off with Rusev and they threw big shots at each other. At number 8 came Kofi Kingston. He went after Punk right away. Ain’t happening Kofi. Get ready for your not hitting the floor spot. Cody tried to eliminate Punk. Not happening either. … At number 9 is Jimmy Uso. And at 10 is Goldust. He came in a house afire until he ran into Rusev, who then got worked over by Punk and Cody.

The guys worked together and got rid of the big man, Rusev. Kofi got tossed over the top. Rusev put him on the barricade and worked him over but, his feet didn’t hit the floor. This is this year’s Kofi spot. He got up and walked on the barricade and jumped from it to the apron. He is back in. JBL made reference to a long jumper from the 60s. Ugh. … Number 11 is Dean Ambrose. … Number 12 was Hacksaw’s pick, Dolph Ziggler. The crowd popped big doing a Let’s Go Ziggler chant so of course he was immediately in peril of being tossed after a good initial run. Vince said SHUT THEM UP! … The crowd was great at doing countdowns. R-Truth is number 13. And just that quick, Dean Ambrose dumped him out. And then Ambrose eliminated Jimmy Uso. Kofi’s did a second spot where he was pushed out but used his feet to hook the ropes and not hit the floor. Two Kofi spots. … Number 14 continued the oldies show as Kevin Nash came out. He immediately eliminated Jack Swagger. I guess they forget his last program in WWE. Hopefully Punk tosses him. He owes him. … At number 15 is Roman Reigns. All three Shield guys are now in the ring.

Reigns made a big entrance, cleaning house and eliminating Kofi, Ziggler and Nash. Goldust and Cody worked on Reigns but Rollins made the Shield. At number 16 is The Great Khali. Throw him out right away, please? Instead, they had all three Shield guys sell for him for a spot, then they dumped him. Cody eliminated his brother, and Reigns then eliminated Cody. We are down to The Shield and CM Punk when at number 17 Sheamus returns. Sheamus came in and went after the Shield when they went after him. Ambrose got to take the forearms to the chest spot. Rollins got the Irish Curse. Reigns got a Brogue Kick. Punk is still out of site for the most part. … At number 18 is The Miz. At 19, Fandango. He doesn’t dance, he runs in and Miz goes right after him. The fans do the Fandago. And out of nowhere, a DANIEL BRYAN chant. And then at number 20 is Los Matador……Torito. Yes, the bull is this year’s Santino.

Fandango went after Torito and tried to doss him but instead Torito eliminated him. Then Roman tossed Torito. No harm no foul. … At 21, Antonio Cesaro. He did the Big Swing on Miz. Went to do it on Punk but the Shield broke it up. So he did the Bug Swings on them, a real long one on Seth Rollins. Stupid long. I lost count, like 40 revolutions. … At number 22, Luke Harper. He went right after Roman. At number 23, Jey Uso. At number 24 JBL. He got up from ringside and took off the headset and walked into the ring, wearing suit and tie. He took off his jacked and asked Cole to come get it, allowing Roman to dump him. He got a you still got it chant. At number 25 Erick Rowan. He dumped Miz. Ryback is number 26. At number 27 is Alberto. Big Dave is getting a good spot so he doesn’t have to do much.

At number 28 we got Big Dave. As he ran to the ring his pecs bounced, like, well, they were the chest of a female. He got some boos. He eliminated Rowan and then faced off with Ryback, who threw Dave down. As Ryback ran into the corner, Dave backdropped him out. ADR went to work on Batista. But Dave tossed ADR. Then at 29 out came Big E Langston. Big E went to work on Sheamus. With one spot, the fans chanted YES! And at number 30, DANIEL BRYAN! No, I am just kidding. It was Rey Mysterio. The fans booed. Loudly. Way to go Vince. Then they chanted for Bryan. And WAY TO GO PITT FANS!

Sheamus dumped Big E. Someone dumped Rey, sorry Pizza came. Roman eliminated Harper. Rollins went to dump Roman. Cesaro went to dump Rollins and Ambrose when Roman dumped all three. Down to the final four, Punk, Reigns, Batista and Sheamus. Kane came from out of nowhere and pulled Punk out. Weak. Kane choekslammed him through the announce table. The fans chanted Daniel Bryan again. Reigns has tied Kane with 11 eliminations. It’s a good night for him. They all went against each other. Batista caught Roman as he tried to do a spear, the fans chanted NO. They listen to the Mailbag. Sheamus called for the Brogue Kick as the fans chanted NO and booed. Batista got out of the way and went for the Bomb but Sheamus got out. He was on the apron and Reigns knocked him out, breaking the record. The crowd does not want Batista. Vince will not call an audible. The fans are booking Batista. If they put Reigns over, they can save it. They won’t. … They face off and battle. Reigns hits the big clothesline and they popped. They chanted for Reigns. Vince doesn’t have his hearing aids in. Batista hit a spear on Reigns and the crowd boos loud. Reigns hits the spear and the crowd goes nuts. Instead, Big Dave tossed him out. Some fans popped, more booed. They did all they could to drown the fans out. But they weren’t happy. Vince you don’t know what we want more than we do.
