Who Got Bumped From The Royal Rumble Match?

WWE’s decision to place Bo Dallas into the WWE Royal Rumble match led to the company cutting one surprise spot for the match. That spot belonged to Shelton Benjamin, who was already going to be in town working an indy show and had agreed to work the match. WWE changed plans, decided to run the NXT tournament, and Dallas got the spot. Carlito was also flown in and was backstage at the event but ended up being replaced by The Godfather.

The Goldust return had been planned for a week or so prior to the pay-per-view due to the angle with his real-life brother, Cody Rhodes.

Who would you rather have seen? Let us know below!

    wtf bo dallas replace shelton benjamin and godfather replace carlito what a joke i would rather have seen shelton benjamin and carlito .

  • SupermaN

    shelton benjamin and carlito would of been good but bo dallas did a decent job with the chance he was given

  • Sdot

    I spit in the face of whoever wrote them off

  • Bray Wyatt

    Bo Dallas replacing Shelton was a GREAT Decision. Youngest RUmble wrestler ever and big Future star. Carlito would have been better than Godfather.

    • Drew

      Um, like the 8th youngest ever. That said I’d have rather had Benjamin over Godfather if only because of how he was used.

  • some guy

    I think with all the wrestlers that were spotted were brought in to cause just speculation & were never meant to b apart of the Rumble match.

  • dingalingaling

    it goes to show that they need a 35 to 40 man Royal Rumble match.

    They should of taken Santino out. He’s just a waste of everything.

  • Onboard with the hoooooootrain

    Shelton Benjamin and Carlto’s fan reactions combined wouldn’t have touched a chord next to the pop the Godfather got!

  • Frank

    Heard “The Masterpiece” Chris Masters was signed to do Rumble but he never came out.

  • random
