WWE Royal Rumble: Un evento lleno de emociones para los fanáticos de la lucha libre
Few events have the ability to generate a visceral feeling in wrestling fans like the annual WWE Royal Rumble. Each year, the matches at least attempt to deliver memorable moments and exciting action in the lead-up to WWE WrestleMania. Throughout his career, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry participated in 10 Royal Rumble matches. Henry recently used his platform on “Busted Open Radio” to share his favorite memory from the classic battle royale.
El regreso inesperado de John Cena
“It would have to be when John Cena came back,” Henry said. “Nobody was expecting John to come back because of [an] injury, and the Royal Rumble was headed toward Triple H winning, and everybody was like, ‘Damn it, not again.'”
El momento icónico de la carrera de Cena
Henry was referencing Cena’s 2008 Royal Rumble win — a notable moment in the WWE star’s career. Cena was coming off a torn pectoral muscle suffered less than four months prior, and fans did not expect the wrestler back for quite some time. Despite the mixed feelings of many wrestling fans on Cena at the time, the Madison Square Garden crowd erupted when he arrived as the final entrant of the match.
La energía inigualable del Madison Square Garden
“I was in the ring when his music hit, and was one of the last guys to go out,” Henry continued. “The energy from the Garden — I can’t even explain. … It was shaking the whole building.”
El camino de Cena hacia WrestleMania
After eliminating Triple H to win the Rumble, Cena later went on to challenge Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WWE No Way Out and again at WWE WrestleMania 24, with Triple H involved there as well. However, before that, Cena’s first match back following his Rumble return was against Mark Henry on “WWE Raw.”
Conclusión
El WWE Royal Rumble es un evento que siempre logra emocionar a los fanáticos de la lucha libre. El regreso inesperado de John Cena en 2008 fue uno de los momentos más icónicos de su carrera y generó una gran energía en el Madison Square Garden. Este evento marcó el inicio del camino de Cena hacia WrestleMania, donde desafió a Randy Orton por el campeonato mundial. Sin duda, el Royal Rumble sigue siendo uno de los eventos más esperados del año para los fanáticos de la WWE.
