As the New Year begins WWE’s most popular event the Royal Rumble is just around the corner. Royal Rumble is one of those events in which WWE always posts certain promotional videos to build the hype of the Rumble, just like WM. Following procedure, WWE did the same and released a list focusing on the best entrances ever made. 

WWE’s list of top entrances contained up to the top 25 names in total. While the WWE Universe immediately checked the top slots of the rankings they were surprised to find John Cena and AJ Styles instead of Edge. This angered a lot of fans since they believed that Edge deserved the top rank or at least a mention in the top 5. WWE thought this entry was the best, but fans strongly disagreed. Their frustration with the list’s rankings led to a harsh reaction against WWE’s choices.
