As the Northeastern United States brace for a blizzard and the world waits to see what a WWE Raw studio showlooks like in the 21st century, let's take a break from ranting and raving about Royal Rumble and how WWE treats us fans.
Depending on your level of Curtis Axel fandom (mine is full McGillicutty), his Twitter activity of the last fifteen or so hours is either intentionally or unintentionally hilarious. The Axe Man, who was announced as Rumble entrant #6, but he was attacked by Erick Rowan and never made it to the ring. "Big Red" entered in his place, temporarily re-teamed with his "brother" Luke Harper to work over the leader of their former family, Bray Wyatt, before both were dumped by The Eater of Worlds.
The son of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig is taking that to mean he was never tossed out of the ring and is therefore the winner:
Got jumped by lamb-guy & lose my spot in the #RoyalRumble? Never eliminated! I'm your winner dammit! I want @BrockLesnar at #WrestleMania!

And he's not alone. Active roster member and Prince of Positivity, Xavier Woods of The New Day is on his side:
