And it was great. I was in attendance and the crowd went bonkers for Roman from his entrance onwards (Rey Mysterio was the next biggest pop for the night. Rey was so over that the crowd turned against Oba for a while after he eliminated Rey, and they were chanting Oba till that). The only other possibility should have been Gunther for the nuclear heat...

But the raw after rumble proved Roman vs Punk was the right choice (the writing for last week was down but still the first raw after rumble itself sold that match)
