Nakamura won and if you didnt know a year or 2 later
Anyone would assume it was roman reigns who won
About a decade now that the runner up in the rumble ends up going on last anyway.
2007: Shawn is the runner up in the rumble and Shawn vs cena goes on last
2008: neither edge or taker were in the rumble
2009: Triple H is the runner up and wins the title a month later to face Randy
2010: cena is the runner up and gets a title shot a month later and I’m pretty sure his match went on after edge vs Jericho
2011: del rio and santino were the last two
2012: Jericho is the runner up and challenges punk midway through the event while the Sheamus is in the opening match
2013: Ryback is the runner up to cena. Obvious situation here where Ryback goes on early
2014: Roman is the runner up. Shield goes on midway through the show. There’s only one world title though
2015: Rusev is the runner up. He goes on early. Only one world title
2016: dean is the runner up. He gets a title shot a month later. Roman obviously ends up getting the shot at wrestlemania. Only one world title.
2017: Roman is the runner up. He goes on last vs taker in a match that had no business happening.
2018: Roman is the runner up and still goes on last vs Brock.
