>>8769735Who was expecting literally any of those people besides completely naive marks? It was confirmed weeks ago The Rock wasn't appearing, Sasha already officially signed with NJPW, Jay White confirmed he wasn't signing with WWE, and I wasn't aware of any rumors of Okada or any Forbidden Door antics happening at the Rumble. Plus, like others have pointed out, Sami got a huge pop for turning on the Bloodline. My only issue was they'd telegraphed and hinted at it for so long, that everyone was chanting for Sami to do it, so there was virtually no surprise when it actually happened. It got a huge pop, but it wasn't like it was a big swerve or anything.
