Rumor On Original Plans For Men’s Royal Rumble Winner

The Royal Rumble pay-per-view has come and gone, and in the end it was Brock Lesnar who won the men’s Royal Rumble, and Ronda Rousey who won the women’s match.

Former WWE referee Mike Chioda recently discussed the Royal Rumble during an episode of Monday Mailbag on AdFreeShows.com, and he noted that he heard Randy Orton was supposed to go over in the 30 man Royal Rumble match.

“I heard some rumors they were going to push Randy Orton and put him over on the Rumble and somehow that changed, of course, it did change. At what point, I don’t know, but I’d like to see Randy get a push. He deserves it to get back to that WWE title. The guy’s phenomenal, a hell of a worker, and has done tons of his matches.

I don’t know why, I’d like to see Randy get that extra push. He’s been with Riddle, trying to build up Riddle but I don’t know, they probably thought Riddle wasn’t ready yet. To put Randy in that spotlight, I would’ve loved that match because you just saw Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns.”

Following the Royal Rumble is was reported that Riddle and Randy Orton were both considered for possible winners, but ultimately it was Brock Lesnar who picked up the victory.
